I’m VERY excited to announce the new Stampin’ Up! Product of the Month Program! With this program you can earn an exclusive product each month for just $5 with a qualifying $75 order. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogs or our Online Exclusives. Every month Stampin’ Up! will release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly. Once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good!

Here is how the Product of the Month Program works.
