New In Colors

Couldn't wait to share with you one of the boxes I made today using the new 2009 -2010 Stampin' Up! In Colors. The colors are bright and gorgeous I am really excited about using them and was so please with how this box turned out. I hope you like it too.

New Catalogue Starts Tuesday!

For the first time this year Stampin' Up Demonstrators were allowed to pre order some of the new stamp sets and the New In Color card stock and inks. So I have three of the new sets and have been playing with them and preparing for my catalogue launch night on Tuesday 7th April.

Meanwhile the old catalogue is still here and the Summer mini catalogue is still current. If there is anything on the retired list or in the mini catalogue NOW is the time to order it before they are gone forever.

Order you very own copy of the new Ideas Book & Catalogue during March and pay only $10. Come to my Launch night and the Catalogue is included in the price.

It's So Hard To Decide!

Quite a few of my stamp sets are on the retired list and I have to decide which ones to keep and which ones to sell off. I think I should get rid of them all, but then I look through them and think Oh but I do like this one and I really want to keep that one!! It's hard!!! I know when I see the new Ideas Book & Catalogue there will be so many new set that I want too, so I should make a bit of room and maybe get a bit of money to fund all the new sets I will want to buy.

I will publish a list here when I have made my final decision, the sets wont be available until 1st April. (Demonstrators aren't allowed to sell second hand set unless they are retired). If there is something on my list that you fancy I can reserve it for you.

A few sets that are available now (last years retired list or last years Sale a Bration sets):

All the Best (used/excellent condit.) was $39.95 NOW $29.95
Love It 07/08 level 2 hostess set (new) $30.00
A is for Adorable (07/08 level 2 hostess set (new) $30.00
Lots of Thoughts 07/08 Sale a Bration set (new) $20.00
Merci 07/08 Sale a Bration set (new) $20.00

If you are interested in any of those set just drop me an email or give me a call and I will organise to get them to you.

Stampin' Up! Retired List

To see the full list of retiring products click on the link to the Stampin' Up! website on the left and go to 'specials'. Here you will find two PDF files to download. One of products listed alphabetically and the other by page numbers.

Things are selling very quickly and each day Stampin' Up! are updating a list of what has sold out or getting low in stock.

If there is anything on the retired list that you would like to purchase don't wait too long or it might be gone.

Another tip the Designer Series Papers (double sided) are reduced by 25% ie $8.98 per pack of 12, which makes them a real bargain, especially when you consider they were wrongly priced in this years Idea Book & Catalogue at $11.95. They were supposed to be $16.95. They will be jumping up to $19.50 in the new catalogue so this could be a good time to stock up. Ink pads and re-inkers are also going up in price, so now would be a good time to order any of the inks you have on your wish list.
