Lots of Updates...A Must Read!

Hey There!  Thanks for stopping by!

Change is coming, both in the spring air and in the craftroom! 

The Stampin' Up world is up to the elbows in preparations for our new annual catalog 

(arriving in May!) and the On Stage conferences this weekend.

I am currently preparing my list of customers that would receive a catalog from me.  If you have placed an order through my online store or in person with me over the past year of $50 or more,  I'll be reserving a copy for you.  If not, you have until the end of this month to have your copy reserved for you...How?  Just by placing an order with me of 

$50 or more through my online store!   

I'll share all the news we're allowed to spill from On Stage when I get back! But here's a quick timeline of the dates and changes we will be seeing.

• April 1st: STORAGE by Stampin' Up!
   starts with a modular desktop cube system that's completely customizable to your space and needs.
• April 9th: sneak peek of new In Color names
  !! Five new colors are coming. Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy--sound so pretty!!
• April 12-13: Stampin' Up Onstage (I'll get to see the In Colors & much more! )
• April 15th: retiring list officially begins. Anything that is not carrying over to the big catalog is while supplies last. Stamp sets will continue to be manufactured until the final week of the old catalog. I would prioritize any of the departing In Colors
   and especially the ink refills to make sure your ink pads stay juicy for a long, long time.
• April 15th through ?? Refill blades
   for the discontinuing Stampin' Trimmer can be purchased (quantity limited to 6) until the stock is gone. Order now (quantity 3) if you don't want to wait or risk them selling out!
• Now through June 3rd: some disruption/depletion of current dies & folders is likely to occur as we transition to a new supplier for dies!! Yes, our partnership with the Big Shot is coming to an end. Grab a couple extra pairs of cutting pads
   so you'll be good to go for years to come.
• June 4th: the new annual catalog opens for business! All new dies and folders will still be compatible with your Big Shots. There are a few minor price increases on a few products, nothing more than $1. Cardstock single color packs are going up fifty cents, so you could save a bit on existing colors by ordering some stock before then.
• June 10th: Paper Pumpkin will go up $2 in price. If you're a month-to-month subscriber, consider switching to a pre-paid subscription and pay the lower price for 3, 6, or 12 months!
• Dates TBA: a new die-cutting system and a new personal paper trimmer are in the works, but not ready in time for this catalog. I'll keep you updated on these exiting developments!

Goodness, lots going on! I love it. It's such an exciting time to be a demonstrator. Il'll be celebrating nineteen years being a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! and  I never get tired of ringing in the new catalog with my stampy friends. of course, this is just an outline of all the news. If you have any questions, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask. I love to hear from you!

Have a SUper Stampin' Day!  Glimmer Hugs!
