Open House!

Hi All,
May 31st is your last chance to order from the current catalog.
Don't miss out on the retired items.  They are only availabe unti May 31st while supplies last.
My favorite items being retired:
Butterfly punch and coordinating stamp set: Flight of Fancy.  I love, love this set and sad to see it go.
For you butterfly lovers the new catalog does preview a new punch (it is slightly smaller and more detailed)
The triple blossom punch and lace border punches! 
Most designer paper is retiring with 10% off!
2010-12 In-Colors will be retiring.  If you have a favorite color, grab it now before it is gone!

I am hosting a Open House New Catalog party on Jume 8th.   Come by and create a free make and take, review the catalog while we chat, eat and have fun.   I will be hosting free raffles!  Please email me to RSVP to ensure I have enough materials
.I received my preorder package this week and am having lots of fun with my new stamps and 2012-14 in-colors!

Stampin Up's Retired Lists

Hi All,

The retired lists are now up!  Stampin Up is in process of revamping our main catalog and the mini catalog release schedule.  The new catalog will be released on June 1st.  This catalog will be smaller in size but broader in options and the new mini-catalogs will be released twice a year, omitting the 3rd catalog.
To make room for newer items in the upcoming 2012-2013 catalog there are more retired sets then ever! 
You can view the list here via a Pdf file or
Visit my online store here.

Get them before they are gone! All retired items are available while supplies last!

The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are also now available.  When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.
The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images. I will have a few on hand in the next few weeks available to anyone who would like to test drive the new pads.  In addition, please note the following about the new catalog:

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)
• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered
• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections

You can view the whole list here via PDF file or
