Retiring Lists posting April 24th!

Stampin' Up has announced that the annual Retiring Lists will be coming out on Weds, April 24th! We will be getting our NEW annual catalogue at the end of May, and they need to make room for all the new products! 

April 24th.....Be sure to set aside some time that day to read through the lists and make your wish list. Things start selling out usually within a day or two, and you want to make sure you have all the ink refills, accessories, and stamps that will be unavailable soon!


You will be able to place your order through my online store, using Hostess Code FSJ6QNSM. When you use the Hostess Code, your name will be entered in a draw to win all the hostess rewards!

And.....this week I am celebrating my 9 year anniversary with Stampin' Up! So, to celebrate, I am giving away NINE prizes! 

I'm giving away two kinds of prizes!  TWO ways to enter:

1. Place an order online for $200 and more.  You'll keep all the Stampin' Rewards for yourself!  PLUS be entered for the additional prizes!! 
2. Place an online order for under $200 and use this HOSTESS CODE when you checkout: FSJ6QNSM. You'll be entered in the Mystery Hostess drawing and the additional prizes!

Hostess Codes are new to Stampin' Up!.  It's an online party where you place your order, and it ships directly to you, AND it also earns Stampin' Rewards for the hostess (aka: Hostess Rewards). In this case, I will give away any hostess rewards! 

PRIZES

• Mystery Hostess drawing for those using option 2 above. I am giving away all the qualifying Hostess Rewards! You'll be notified by May 1st, if you are selected as one of the Mystery Hostesses.  You'll then select your prize(s) - Stampin' Up! Merchandise!
• NINE More additional prizes will be given away on May 1st, in celebration of my NINE year anniversary with Stampin' Up!
• Plus....ALL orders will receive a handmade thank you card from me!

Don't forget...stock up on retiring colors:

This just in: Color Refresh!

Starts April 4th, 2013

  

 

Here's a note from Stampin' Up:  

We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!

 

Why now? In 2010 we did a big colour renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around, and introducing one brand-new colour, so take a look!

The NEW Stampin' Trimmer is here!

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Up Stampin' Trimmer! Although we use paper trimmers regularily in the papercrafting world, they are NOT all equal. This one was designed exclusively by paper crafters FOR paper crafters, and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's quality and design are going to be a cut above the rest!

Features of the New Stampin' Trimmer:

• An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
  
  
  
  • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements. 
  
  
  • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
  
  
  • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts. 
  
  
  • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
  
  
  • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch. 
  
  
  • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
  
  
  • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
  
  
  
  


• A full 12" cutting and scoring track
  
  
  
  • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them. 
  
  
  • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles. 
  
  
  • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport. 
  
  
  • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
  
  
  
  


• Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
  
  
  
  • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
  
  
  • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring. 
  
  
  • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
  
  
  • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
  
  
  
  


• Storage compartment under base
  
  
  
  • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards. 
  
  
  • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.

Sparkly Snowflake

Hello! 

As I play with the Silver Glimmer Paper, I can't help but think of Snowflakes! As uncommon as it is to make a black & white Christmas card, I was just drawn to give it a try with this card.

I used the Lattice Embossing Folder on the black cardstock background, and the Snow Flurry Bigz Die for the Snowflakes, in Whisper White and Silver Glimmer Paper. The embellishment in the middle is from the Antique Brads package. This card is very simple, yet quite stunning to see in person.

Snow Flurry Bigz Die (127813):

Antique Brads (117273): 

Lattice Embossing Folder (119976):

Here's a look at the card again.

Hope you like it!

Happy Stamping!
