The new catalog is (almost) live!

Leave a reply

Happy June! The old catalog is no more so I hope that you got everything you wanted from it and the new catalog is almost live. Stampin’ Up! is currently updating their systems to change from the old to the new and will be ready to take our orders by noon MT at the latest! I have my order ready to go… I also have a bookmark to celebrate the new catalog – I’m sending one to all of the people that I sent catalogs to. If you want a bookmark and a catalog, let me know. This uses the new Daisy Delight stamp set with the Bunch of Blossoms and showcases all five of the new in colors along with the new in color ribbon.

I started with a 5 inch by 1 3/4 inch piece of whisper white and used the scallop tag topper punch to make the top pretty. Then I used berry burst for the sentiment from Bunch of Blossoms. Next were the two daisy stamps; I used the outline in full strength and stamped off once the fill in stamp. I used all five of the new colors – berry burst, fresh fig, tranquil tide, lemon lime twist and powder pink. I added a piece of the new berry burst ribbon and the bookmark was complete. Easy, fun and a good reminder of all the new in colors.

I can include the link to the catalog so that you can look at it – you just can’t order for a couple more hours. But you can definitely put your wish list together!

Stampin’ Up! News and a little stamping

Leave a reply

Well as you are probably reading in Stampin’ Up! News everywhere – today is the absolutely LAST day to shop from the 2016-2017 catalog. Some of the products will end up on the clearance rack at massive savings but I’ve never seen the stamp sets do that. And not everything else makes it there so if you were waiting for extra savings, today is as good as it gets – unless you’re a betting person! The cut off is 11:50 MT tonight. Other things that are changing at this cut off are some of the bundles – under Retiring Products in the store there’s a section for Retiring Bundles. Some of the products are retiring and in some cases, it’s just the bundle pricing – so if you want to save 10%, today is the day to do that. This is also the last day to snatch up the Eastern Palace bundles along with the freebies.

Please be aware that there’s up to 12 hours whilst the ordering system is set up to remove the old and bring in the new. So you can order at noon (at the latest) tomorrow. I may possibly take a look a little earlier, just in case…

The other thing that you need to know is that during June, if your party (or order) hits $350, you get an EXTRA $35 in Stampin’ Rewards. This is huge. Normally at $350, you’d get $42 in Stampin’ Rewards, during June you get 42+35 which is $77. That’s a LOT of product! In fact, you could order ALL SIX of the host sets in the catalog and still have enough leftover for a pot of multipurpose glue! I’m definitely hitting that mark myself tomorrow!

Over the weekend, Julia and I had a project. She’s hosting a graduation party at her house for 4 of her nieces and nephews and she wanted to make little curvy boxes filled with m&ms and she found some graduation paper and other pieces for the project. The paper was fairly thin – not like Stampin’ Up! paper which is one reason why I personally NEVER buy anything but Stampin’ Up! – but she really wanted graduation hats. So Julia, her son James and I got together on Saturday and started crafting. I started cutting out boxes, James started portioning up m&ms and Julia started stamping labels using Bunch of Blossoms and the little heart from Bookcase Builder. Amazingly in a couple of hours we had them all constructed and just needed to wait for delivery of the 2017 charms.

They arrived on Sunday and so Julia and I spent a couple of hours threading them on. The charms had VERY small holes –  we used a piece of gold metallic thread to help. We put one end of the thread through the tassel loop then threaded the charm onto both ends of the gold metallic thread (not easy!) and then just slid the charm onto the end of the tassel. James and I thought that they actually looked like cows – friesians in particular – if you saw a lot of them together (this is just a quarter of them!). What do you think?

Color Theory Suite

I was looking at YouTube yesterday and fell over the following video. It’s an official Stampin’ Up! one showing one of the new suites in the upcoming catalog. I’ve been trying not to share too many sneak peeks since you can’t get your hands on these yet, but I couldn’t resist showing this one.

 

 

Don’t forget to check out the clearance rack as well as the retiring products section – there are plenty of good bargains there including some from the Holiday catalog in case you’re the kind of organised person who starts planning Christmas already!

Tomorrow Stampin’ Up! is releasing the Eastern Palace suite from the upcoming catalog a month early! There are two bundles available and they are going to be popular. Here’s a Stampin’ Up! video showing the release including three new in-colors, tranquil tide, lemon lime twist and fresh fig.

As of tomorrow, there are two bundle available including some free products. This promotion runs from tomorrow until the end of May.

First the starter bundle which contains the Eastern Beauty stamp set, Eastern Palace DSP, matching gold vinyl stickers, three new in-color ink pads and free very vanilla notecards and envelopes all for only $60.50.

If you’re more of an avid crafter, and already have a big shot, you might want to consider the Premiere bundle – this contains everything above plus the Eastern Palace card stock pack, the mini tassels assortment, Eastern Medallions thinlits dies and instead of the notecards, the new thick very vanilla cardstock and matching very vanilla envelopes. This is at $103.50

English Premier Bundle

As long as the codeine and antibiotics do their job, I should be more on time tomorrow!

See you tomorrow,

The Retiring List is live

Leave a reply

The retiring list is live and things are going fast. Just last night, I checked the list and two of the retiring in-colors (watermelon wonder and delightful dijon) ink refills are gone. Don’t Delay! If you want something, grab it now before it’s not available. Here’s the list. It’s not being updated in this pdf so you’re risking it being sold out as you delay.

The things that I’m most upset about (apart from mint macaron) are the Stylish Stems and Special Reason bundle; if you’re buying them, don’t get the bundle, the separate parts are on sale for $33.60 in total instead of $45.75 for the bundle. It’s an awesome duet of products – here are a couple of examples of cards I’ve made with them (and I have another to share tomorrow)

Then there’s the Acorny Thank You ($15) and the Acorn Builder Punch (on sale at $12.60). Here are a few cards I’ve made with these

and Grateful Bunch ($21)

But basically, take a look and if there’s anything you fancy, get it now. There’s a lot there and over 90 items are discounted. But they are going fast. Use the code A2XGZS79 to get free handmade cards.
