A note from Stampin Up: Due to quality issues, the Peppermint Sticks Scented Stampin’ Emboss Powder (item 127830) from the holiday catalog will no longer be available for purchase. The product will still emboss, and you and your customers can continue using any powders you may have purchased; however, we have learned that the peppermint scent does not last as long as is indicated in the catalog. Since our supplier will not be able to reformulate the powder in time for your use during the holidays, we have made the difficult decision to stop selling the item.

Promotion Details:  While the kids are heading back to school, Stampin' Up! is going back to 'spool'! For the month of September, get a FREE package of 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon-an $8.95 value-for every $40 you spend!

One of the many reasons that I love stampin' up! is the charity they do. this stamp set is retired but is called strength and hope. stampin up gave $2 back to breast cancer research for every stamp sold. My mom didn't die from that but from pancreatic cancer. cancer is cancer and I thought making this card was apporiate because I will be doing relay for life on august 11th. the colors used was concord crush, tangerine tango, and daffodil delight i used the color coach to put the colors together and the new piercing tool for the outlining of the scallop circle.

While the $99 price tag is exciting in and of itself, one of the biggest perks of the new Starter Kit is its flexibility!  Not only will you  get a great deal on Starter Kit products that you get to choose yourself, but you'll also get a 20 percent discount on Stampin' Up! products. I want to, remind you about the free access to Stampin' Connection and invitations to Stampin' Up! events-not to mention the fantastic new friendships you will forge and regular opportunities to get together and stamp.  You also get the chance to see sneak peeks, Title Benefits Bundles, Stampers' Showcase, and a FREE demonstrator magazine filled with beautiful photos and project ideas! In addition, new demonstrators are eligible for TWO FREE months of Demonstrator Business Web Services (DBWS)-including your own business website and Online Store, access to a blog, calendar, a monthly e-newsletter, project gallery, and e-cards-if you sign up within 21 days of becoming a demonstrator.

Retiring Accessories and Décor Elements April 25, 2012 Get them before they are gone! The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last! When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed.
