Retired List Coming Out Monday

It's almost that time of year for Stampin' Up's new catalog to come out .... June 1st.  This coming Monday, April 21st, they will be putting out their retired list.  All items on the list will be "as supplies last".  So check back on Monday for the list.  If there are items on the list you can't live without, be sure to get an order in asap before they're gone for good.  You can either order online or email me your order.

If you need a cute, quick Easter favor, here's one for you.  Simply cut a piece of DSP (orange) 6×6".  Fold in half to make a triangle.  Unfold and fold sides down to center fold line (like we used to make kites).  Fold bottom point back.  Use red tape to secure the carrot box.  Cut a 4x6" piece of green cardstock or DSP.  Horizontally cut slits to form the stalks.  See photo, may make more sense.  Fill with Easter candy ... and have a very Happy Easter!

So Much Happening...

at Stampin' Up! starting today ... please read on for some important information...

RETIRED LISTS & FREE CATALOG!

The Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 Annual Catalog begins June 1 and will offer over 200 pages of card samples, papercrafting ideas, new products and the reveal of the 2012-2014 In Colors.  I'm personally offering a special promotion to get the catalog to you FREE and ASAP.

GET YOUR CATALOG FREE and ASAP:

• Place an on-line order thru me of $50 or more (before shipping and tax) between April 25 and May 15.   
• I'll reward you with a FREE catalog and FREE PRIORITY MAIL delivery (2-3 business days) so that you get it ASAP.  Your catalog will arrive separately from your product order.
• Be sure to log into your Stampin' Up! on-line profile and update your address and contact information if they will change by 5/15.
• This is not a Stampin' Up! company promotion.  It is a personal promotion for customers making a qualifying on-line purchase thru me.

FOUR GOOD REASONS TO PLACE AN ORDER BY MAY 15:

• Over 300 stamp sets are retiring and will only be available for purchase through May 31.  View Retiring Stamp List.
• The Stampin' Up! Retired Accessories list is available to view. Order your favorites now.  Products will only be available while supplies last.
• The Definitely Decorative line will be discontinued.  Get them now while supplies last.
• The Occasions Mini Catalog ends April 30.
• The Summer Smooches Promotion ends April 30.

Just FYI and before you panic (like I did when I saw the Retired Accessories list and saw most markers retiring and all ink pads retiring), please read on.  I thought there was another Color Renovation going on.  I did panic.  But that's not the case!  In the new catalog markers will be mostly sold in groups only.  A few colors will be sold individually.  So if you want a few markers, now is the time to order them.

As far as the ink pads go, they are re-configuring the pads and replacing the felt pads with foam pads.  The outside style of the ink pads will remain the same (allowing you to store the pads upside down), but the new foam pads allow for easier inking and a more uniform end result.  I'm thrilled.   I will most likely use my older style for some time until I can slowly get the newer ones.  So, again, don't panic.

Most of the ribbons will be retiring.  Stock up now with your favorites.  Buttons, brads, punches, big shot dies, etc. are all on the Accessories List.  AND, SOME OF THE ITEMS ARE DISCOUNTED UP TO 70% OFF!!!   These items must be ordered online only and ASAP.  My suggestion to you is to click on the above lists, make a list of the item numbers you would like, then go to my online store and click on "Shop Now".  Enter all the numbers and check out as soon as you can.  Once the items are gone, they're gone.

HAPPY, HAPPY SHOPPING !!!!

Still time to reserve a Girls' Night out where you get 6-7 of your friends together for a night of stamping.  No obligation for your guests to buy anything.  They simply pay $25 for their night out and leave with 12 cards and envelopes and 2 bookmarkers.   You supply only minimum drinks and some cheese and crackers.  I have two kits left (above papers) but can customize other designer papers to make whatever you'd like.  Call or email me today if you would like to have a fun-filled time with your friends.   AND, did I forget ... you receive free hostess sets and all the extra supplies for doing this.  It's a win-win-win for all!

Reserve Your Retired Stamp Set(s) Now!

Cheap Talk ...

It's official, you may now reserve one or more of my retired stamp sets marked down approximately 40% and no tax or shipping (for local SC customers). Just email me with the set(s) you want. I will take first come, first served. I will hold them for you til next time I see you. Out of state friends/customers, I will be happy to send you stamp set(s) but would have to charge $5 for shipping and postage. Still would be a great savings if you want more than one set!

Punch Bunch ...

Cheap Talk ...

So get out your old catalog, your Sale-A-Bration Flyer and your last Mini Catalog and start shopping.

I've marked the sets "W" or "C" after the price indicating "wood mounted" or "clear mounted". If there are one of each listed, then please let me know whether you want wood or clear.
