As we come to the end of another amazing Stampin' UP! Catalog year, I thought I should post a few reminders about the transition to the NEW Catalog on June 2nd! June 2nd is the last day to order from the current 2014-2015 annual Stampin' Up! Catalog June 2nd is also the FIRST day to order from the NEW 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! Catalog! All carryover items from the 2014-2015 annual catalog and 2015 occasions catalog will keep their 2014-2015 prices on June 2, while brand-new items in the 2015-2016 annual catalog will follow the 2015-2016 printed price.

We all like a good deal right? I just wanted you all to know that Stampin' Up! has restocked their clearance rack. So if there were things that you loved and didn't get them before they went away they very well may be in the clearance rack now. There are   approximately 100 new items. Inks, punches, stamp sets and accessories.  Prices on select Retired Stampin’ Up! products are ridiculously slashed, and products are offered here ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.  If that is of any interest to you, you can shop here.  Shop Clearance Now!   You should do it now as there is a very good chance it may not be there later. Have fun shopping! 

Announcing our Color Refresh! 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 color renovation and shared our plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep our colors on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look! Here is another visual to in case you wanted to see COLOR verses words.  Another exciting announcement is this-   We're excited to let you know that we are offering FREE shipping on EVERYTH...

Due to unforeseen problems with our supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, we have decided to discontinue these two products. Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804), which have been on the Backorder Report for about a week, will no longer be available, effective immediately. If your order has not been shipped due to its status in backorder, we will not be able to fill it. We will soon begin processing refunds for these items. Keep in mind that it may take a few days to see the reimbursement in your account. Now for the good news! We still have the remaining collections of the Watercolor Wonder Crayons available to order. The Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get 'em before they're gone!

We've been working on some big changes to the My Digital Studio product line, and we just can't contain ourselves anymore. Starting today:  We've changed the name of the software from MDS 2 (and MDS 2+) to MDS.  We've lowered the price. What has been known as MDS 2+ is now $19.95 US/$24.95 CAN. Coming soon: The upgrade will be free! If you  have been holding onto the original My Digital Studio software, you will be able to upgrade to the new software for free. We will let you know when it is available. We have discontinued the item number for the MDS 2 Upgrade (item 130650) We have announced that My Digital Studio will soon be available to our friends in Australia and New Zealand. MyDigitalStudio.net is currently under construction as we make all of the changes. Just keep in mind that you may see outdated information for awhile. We will remove the My Digital Studio Catalog at the end March from MyDigitalStudio.net. If you would like to keep of copy of it, ...

  Our supply of the 12" x 12" Early Espresso Album (item 127685)  have now sold out . Also, our supply of the 12" x 12" Crumb Cake Album (item 127686) is running low. Our supplier will not be able to continue to produce this product without a significant cost increase to us, and consequently, to you. We have ultimately decided to discontinue this album.

  New demonstrators who join the Stampin' Up! family during the promotion period will received a FREE collection of Classic Stampin Pads-they can choose from Brights, Subtles, or Regals! It's INK-redible!

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.

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.
