And Now a Word from Our Sponsor

I’ve been very neglectful of my Stampin’ Up! business, really ever since we moved last summer.  And despite my husband’s opinion, it is a business!  Granted, I’m my own best customer, but I really appreciate the orders you’ve placed with me when I’m way over here in Wisconsin and you’re way over there on the edges of the country.

I’ve mentioned that Sale-a-Bration is going on through the end of March.  What the heck does that mean, for you non-stampers?  Well, for every $50 you spend on stamps and supplies, you get a Sale-a-Bration item absolutely FREE!  There are some super cute, amazing items to choose from, people. 

Also, if you’re interested in becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, this is the best time of year to sign up.  In addition to the getting the fabulous Starter Kit (more than $345 value, usually $175) for only $125, you will also receive a free pack of Designer Paper ($10.95 value) or digital downloads of paper each month for the rest of the year!  Contact me if you’d like to know more.  You can easily sign up right on my website. I think my keyboard is out of exclamation points from all of my excitement.

As if that were not enough excitement, Stampin’ Up! also announced changes to the catalog program at our Leadership Conference in January.  Perhaps most importantly for you to know, the current Idea Book and Catalog, scheduled to end June 30, 2012, will be ending May 31, 2012.  This is because there will be a BRAND NEW ANNUAL CATALOG starting June 1, 2012.

The Minicatalog schedule is also changing.  Starting in June, we will have only 2 minis each year, each lasting 6 months.  Stampin’ Up! feels this will benefit you because catalog items will be available longer.  The minis will be larger and have more pages.  Woo-hoo!

The new catalogs will offered to demonstrators at over half off the old price, so we will be able to give them to customers instead of you having to buy them.  But don’t worry…they’ll still be just as packed with ideas for you and stamps will still be shown at full-size. 

The Decor Elements and Simply Adorned product lines will be discontinued as of May 31, 2012, however.  If you’ve been hankering for anything from those lines, now would be the time to get it, during Sale-a-Bration.

And now that I’ve come full circle in my rambling, I’ll conclude.  I just wanted to keep you apprised of Stampin’ Up! happenings, and encourage you to take a look at my web site, if you’re interested in any of the aforementioned. The link is in the right margin, if you’re looking for it! As always, if you don’t want to set up an account online, you can email me the order along with credit card info (or I’ll call you to get the info, if you’re not comfortable emailing it) and I can place the order for you. I know, no thanks are necessary for enabling you to shop so easily! 

Happy Stamping!
