Its been too long!

I must apologize for the lengthy absence in blog posts… I think the last one was in August! Yikes!  Well here’s what you’ve missed and it may shed some light onto why I haven’t been posting.  I am pregnant! I have about 5 weeks left before we welcome our baby boy Andrew (who I have dubbed Andy-OD) home.  I plan to post some photos of stamping projects I’ve done over my long absence, but first here are some little relevent tid-bits for what’s going on with Stampin’ Up, and some fun baby photos.

DBWS_Main-ad_Paper-Pumpkin_NAPaper Pumpkin!

Stampin’ Up announced this great new monthly project that comes to your door for $19.95/month.  Its a surprise each month, except for the first month, because your first kit will be the same regardless of when you join, and you get a free acrylic block that will be used on all future projects.

Floral District Pinwheel Card – Sneak Peek

Isn’t this a fun card? I really love the colors and patterns in this new Floral District designer paper. I made a cute pinwheel for the front and tied it together with a Pumpkin Pie glimmer brad. The sentiment is from the new set Itty Bitty Banners and framelits to match called bitty banners.

 

Stamps: Itty Bitty Banners

Paper: Floral District DSP, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry

Accessories: Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Stitched grosgrain ribbon, Brights Glimmer Brads

Welcome to my Stampin’ Up Team!

I’d love to say these words to you!  Have you seen the $99 starter kit deal going on this month and in June??  Please check out the flyer on the right!

Here’s a card I made for my recruit in March, and hiding behind it is a tote bag with some fun goodies!!  I’d love to give you something similar for signing up as a demonstrator, so please feel free to email me and I can help get you started!

Become a Demonstrator for $99 and customize your own kit!

In May and June, you can become a demonstrator for just $99 and fully customize your own starter kit with $125 in merchandise… want ALL stamps? Cool, load up all the stamp sets you’ve been wanting.  Just need ink and paper? Easy peasy, just add it all in.  You’ll also get the business kit added on after you pick out your goodies.  Please contact me ASAP to get in on this offer, its the lowest price you’ll see for the starter kit!  Great for seasoned stampers who already have a small foundation of supplies/stamps.

And if you aren’t sure what you should add into your kit, you can ask me for suggestions, but here’s a document from Stampin’ Up! with some great suggestions.  Again, customize to your needs!

Retiring Accessories List is Here

There is a LOT on the retired accessories list, and first I want to say that the classic ink pads are being reconfigured to be improved and colors are NOT being retired.  There are stars next to items that are being reconfigured, and the rest is going.  So please, if there is something on your wishlist, make sure that you get it before the end of May.  Supplies are limited to what is in stock and I can update you on things that have sold out.

Check out the discounted retiring items here: http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryid=801

And the full retiring accessories here in PDF form: Availability_en-US

And finally a quick link to all retiring products: http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=736

Retiring Stamp List is here!

If you didn’t already know, our current catalog ends May 31, and a new smaller catalog (less overwhelming) will take its place in June.  Because the catalog size is changing that means a big reduction in stamp sets, and a long retiring list.  Please take a look at the list and make sure that you order the stamps you love and that won’t be available after May 31!  There are some really great stamp sets that I’ll miss demonstrating with, but that will stay in my collection.  I will be selling a lot of my retiring stamp sets in June, so stay tuned for that!

Retired_List_stamps_en-US1 (PDF) an easy to read version I converted from an excel file.

Also, with the impressive amount of sets retiring, my contest was a bit easier than usual, Kathy Van Klaveren won with 14/15 retiring stamp sets guessed.  She will be able to pick 3 free sets at my retirement party/new catalog kickoff.
