Stampin' Up!s 2013-2014 Annual Catalogue Goes Live




What a great day for stamping!  The brand new 2013-2014 Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue has officially been launched at noon today and is ready for ordering from!  Whoo Hoo!!!

Promotions & Information Sharing

Availability of Retired Stamp Sets – Until June 3rd only:
This year Stampin’ Up!® is offering all retiring stamp sets through June 3 as they have in previous years, but because of the component shortages, some retiring stamp sets will go on backorder. Stampin' Up! is trying to  minimize the backorders as much as possible.  

If you have tried to order a retiring stamp set recently and were unable to do so, please place your order again or call Demonstrator Support for help.  Stampin’ Up! sincerely apologizes for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Personalized Name Stamp Unavailable May 31, 2013:
In case you want to order The Bracket Stamp personalized name stamp with 5 lines (item 131138), please note that it's not available for today’s catalogue launch.  Stampin’ Up!® does anticipate that it’ll be available soon, however they don’t have a date yet. So, until the date is released, you can still order other versions of The Bracket Stamp, with 1-4 lines. 

Grab Your Greetings Promotion May 31st to June 30th:

Who doesn’t like and need great "greeting stamps"? I know I do.   When I’m making a card or other paper crafting project, often times the sentiment or greeting is what makes it or breaks it.  I think it’s always a great idea to have a variety of greeting sets on hand for when you really need them.

During the Grab Your Greetings Promotion, Stampin' Up! is offering you an  opportunity to add some terrific sentiments to your own collection or someone else’s (think birthday or other occasion gifts) and at a great savings price! Between May 31st and June 30th Stampin' Up! is offering the GRAB YOUR GREETINGS PROMOTION at 25% off.

That’s right!  Just add any or all of these greeting stamp sets to your next order and you’ll get 25% off on each set you order.  There are no limits and you can get them on any order type (workshop, customer, demonstrator, or online).  So get “grabby” today.  Contact me to take advantage of this special offer.  

Promotion Date: May 31-June 30, 2013

Secret Garden "For You" Card and Sneak Peak

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to my US Friends and followers!  Wishing you great weather, happy times, and above all safe journeys where ever you're traveling!

Today's card is based on a flash card designed by Connie Stewart.  I love her cards for their simplicity and quick and easy style.  Make sure you check out her blog and watch some of her great videos.  

This card also features a sneak peak at some new products that will be released in the 2013-2014 Idea Book and Catalogue that will be available in just a few days!

I sent this card to Debbie Flattum along with her prize package for winning on the LNS Spring Treasure Hunt Blog Hop.  Hope she enjoys it.  I was also able to make kits for an upcoming card class.  What a happy afternoon of stamping and cutting this was! 

This was my first time using the Secret Garden stamp set and matching Flower Framelits, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I changed up Connie's card by using Bermuda Bay card stock, Calypso Coral and Pear Pizazz inks.  Bermuda Bay was a very popular In Color a few years ago, and Stampin' Up! is reintroducing it to the Brights Colour Collection. Same with the Pear Pizzazz which is replacing Certainly Celery in the Subtles Colour Collection.  Great moves on Stampin' Up!s part because both of these are such hot summer colours.  I anticipate we'll be seeing them a lot in the weeks ahead.
 
This card was made with a Whisper White card stock base, and the contrast between this neutral and the vibrant coloured card stock and stamping give this card an immediate WOW look.  The cutout was made with the large Curly Label Punch.  I used the petite curly label punch that will be available on May 31st when the new cattie comes out, to punch out the sentiment. What an awesome little punch this is and I'm so happy to have it in my tool kit. 

In this view  you can see what the card looks like when it's partially opened, and the next page shows the negative image from the curly label on the inside of the card. 

Here's a closeup of the beautiful flower that was stamped with the Secret Garden stamp set.  Cutting out this flower was easy because I used the matching Secret Garden Framelit dies for the base cut.  I decided to add a bit more depth by stamping off two more flowers and cutting out the inner flower layers and then added them with dimensionals.  A Basic Rhinestone was adhered to the center.  Both the stamp set and framelits are still available as a 15% savings bundle in the Spring Mini catalogue until June 1st, and then they'll transition to the new catalogue where they'll be sold separately.  

  • Secret Garden Bundle 13099 Clear Mount Bundle $44.95
  • Secret Garden Bundle 131100 Wood Mount Bundle $52.95
