Please note that the Deadlines to sign up for the first two Stamp-A-Stack dates on 4/12 and 4/14 are coming up in only a few days!  Please let me know if you'd like to attend so that I can be sure to make up your customized card materials and have them ready when you come.  So far #1 and #4 are the favorite designs, what do you think?

Latest Stampin' Up News!

With the new Stampin' Up catalog getting closer each day, here is the latest news to keep you updated on what's happening in our stamping world:

1.  The 2013-2014 Annual Stampin' Up catalog starts Friday, May 31, 2013!  (It's one day early so that Customer Support will be in the office to answer any questions.) You may order directly online, by phone, or through me as your demonstrator. I will be ordering new copies of the catalogs as soon as they are available, let me know if you'd like me to reserve one just for you.  Cost will be $5 or FREE with a $50 order!  If you are looking to host a Stampin' Up party/workshop right as it hits the ground, be sure to contact me for a date!

2.  Check out the latest April Best of 25 Stamps:  "Best of Butterflies".  Note the newest image fits the Elegant Butterfly Punch #127526.
 
3. The Petite Curly Label Punch, previously only available as an SAB Freebie, can now be ordered for $12.95, #129405.  It coordinates with the stamp set "Ciao Baby" on page 16 of the Spring Mini catalog.

4.  Because of their great popularity, Single Stamps will be available through JULY 31, 2013. 

5.  Due to production issues with the manufacturer, Stampin' Up Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Crayons will no longer be offered in the new catalog.  Only Subtles, Neutrals, and Regals Watercolor Crayons can currently be ordered until supplies are exhausted.  (Brights have been on backorder and are not available.)

That's it for now, hope to see you at one of the three SAS dates posted!
