New Catalogue Time!

It's here, it's here! A brand new Catalogue, full to the brim with new products and loads of Inspiration.
You can flip through the Catalogue online HERE
Download the PDF HERE
View the Stampin' Supplies HERE
and there's also some Christmas items carrying over. See those HERE

I have to say, I think Stampin' Up! have outdone themselves this time. I'm loving all the samples in this Catalogue. I've already CaSEd quite a lot of them!

Just a few things to note about ordering from this Catalogue:

• Cardstock and Pad Kit (item 132281, page 139): The price for the Cardstock & Pad Kit is listed incorrectly as $47.95. The correct price is $93.95.
• World Map Stamp (item 130342 for wood, 130345 for clear, page 23): The stamp includes two offensive words, 'Negroland' and 'Cafreria', which have since been removed. The artwork we used for the image was taken from a historical map in the Library of Congress and the words were not noticed until recently. We hope it is understood that our intent has never been to belittle or offend our demonstrators and customers. We sincerely apologize for any insult or affront resulting from this oversight. We have updated the World Map Stamp, and anticipate that the stamp will be ready to order sometime in August.
• Label Pop 'n Cuts (item 130160, page 188): We have recently learned that the Label Pop 'n Cuts Die was incorrectly produced--the die cuts instead of scores across the score line. Our supplier repaired the defect and we are replacing our inventory. The new and improved die will be ready to order 12 July
• Wood-Mount Cases (item 127551 for full, 127552 for half, page 197): The new full and half wood-mount cases (sold in packs of four) have been delayed. You will still get your new wood-mount stamps sets in these cases, but we will be unable to fulfil orders for the additional wood-mount cases when the catalogue goes live. Stay tuned for when they will be available to order
• Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Addition (item 132986, page 176): We will announce when this item is available for order.

Only a few days left!

Goodness me, where has June gone? It's hard to believe that there are only a few days left to order from the Retirement List and our Seasonal Catalogue. I say this every year, but there's always someone who ignores me....Don't miss out!

I've been SUPER busy lately. Last weekend was my New Catalogue Launch Party. In the lead-up to that, I was churning out card samples like a machine! Not to mention putting together 50 goody bags, preparing 100 make-and-takes (2 per person), baking cupcakes and cookies, and getting together second-hand items for sale. The Craft Sale ended up being held in our bedroom, as the front deck was far too wet and cold. I'm very grateful to the 50 ladies for being very patient and tolerant about squishing in there!

After they grabbed some bargains, there was lots of yummy food to enjoy. As well as the cupcakes, cookies and champagne, I had food themed around the new In Colors – I had Coastal Cabana Crockery bowls (since I couldn't think of any Coastal Cabana coloured food!), with little signs on the side – Pistachio Pudding (pistachios), Crisp Cantaloupe (rockmelon cubes), Strawberry Slush (fresh strawberries) and Baked Brown Sugar (sugared almonds). It all got eaten up, so I think everyone agreed the new In Colors are very yummy!
Here's a sneak peak of the new colours:

Just Believe Reverse Masked

Just a quick one from me today. I'm busy running around getting everything ready for my Launch Party on Sunday!
This month in our team meeting, we explored the Reverse Masking Technique. It's such a simple technique, but really packs a punch. It gives a layered look without any actual layering, so it's a great technique for one-layer cards.
Here's a quick card I made using this technique and the Just Believe stamp set...I'm really going to miss this set when it retires!

To get this effect, all you meed to do is create a stencil (I've used a framelit), and sponge or stamp inside it. Remove your stencil, and voila!

Button Buddies Stamp-a-Stack

Here's my second Stamp-a-Stack design for this month, using another retiring set, Button Buddies.
It's such a cute set, with stamps to suit all occasions. It's designed to work with buttons and punches.
Lots of retiring colours used here - More Mustard, Riding Hood Red, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink, Lucky Limeade and Certainly Celery:

I've also used 2 retiring Background Stamps, Netting and Distressed Dots, some Retiring ribbon (I'm going to miss the lovely ruffled ribbon!) and also a retiring sentiment set A Word for You. I've rounded all the corners on these cards...it's a good trick when you're not doing a lot of layering.

Button Buddies (122737 clear mount $41.95):

You are Loved Stamp-a-Stack

Retirement List month is always crazy busy, and this month has been no exception!
I've been running classes this month using Retiring sets. Each year there are always a few sets that I wish I'd used more often, and I like to give them one last run. This is one example - a pretty set called "You are Loved". And the best news is that the Clear Mount set is 40% off - only $26.97...but only while stocks last!

Here's the Stamp-a-Stack set I made using this set in Bravo Burgundy (retiring colour!) and Very Vanilla:

If you look closely you may also see a few retiring Embossing Folders on these cards.

TIP: I often find that I can be turned off a stamp set if there are a few images that I think I won't get much use of. In this case, there is a "Happy Valentines Day" stamp that I would rarely use. If you look at the card on the top left, you can see how I made use of the pretty swirls in the stamp, but covered over the message. I also covered over the "Love" sentiment in the Decorative Label frame using another retiring set, "Made for You". I use this set all the time - 3 useful sentiments in a really pretty font and they all fit inside the Oval punch.

"You are Loved" (123779 clear mount $44.95 $26.97):

 "Made for You" (126342 clear mount $16.95)

Retirement List Update

Must-Haves
There are so many fantastic accessories and tools that are leaving us this year. I thought I'd post a list of some of the things I will really miss, in case you wanted to stock up on any of them too:

• Shimmer Paints - I use Shimmer Paint (usually Frost White 116854 or Champagne Mist 116806) Shimmer Paint on many of my cards. I make my own Shimmer Spray using Rubbing Alcohol. It adds just the right touch of sparkle.
• ALL the Punches - don't miss out!- every year after retirement, people beg for the retired punches!
• Craft & Rubber Scissors - even though we don't have to cut our stamps anymore, I still use these scissors for all sorts of projects around the house
• Color Spritzer Tool - great to add a subtle spritz of colour
• Tabletop Paper Trimmer - the perfect guillotine
• Sanding Blocks - I use these ALL the time to file off rough edges
• Big Shot Dies - Petal Cone Die, Scallop Envelope Die, Two Tags Die, Candy Wrapper Die
• Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder - one of my all-time faves
• First Edition DSP - great for backgrounds, and to stamp on.
• Fabric - I'm sad that we won't be carrying this anymore.

Single Stamps - Assortment 1

A few months ago Stampin' Up! asked  their facebook friends what they thought of the idea of being able to buy single clear-mount stamps instead of a whole set. The response was extremely positive, so that's exactly what they have given us.
From now until 31 August 2013 (or while supplies last) we have 5 Single-image Stamps for you to choose from!

Details

• Single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
• These won't be sent in our typical cases or packaging; they'll be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four.
• This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
• The stamps won't come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you'll need to purchase a block separately if you don't already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyer.
• There's no limit on how many stamps you can purchase.
• These stamps are only available through 31 August 2013, so get them while you can!

Best Of 25 Years Stamps - Best of Flowers

As you all know, Stampin' Up! is celebrating a special Anniversary this year.

As part of the 25th Anniversary celebrations, they are bringing back some of our favourite stamp images from the last quarter century and releasing one set per month until April 2014. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

This month's set is Best Of Flowers:

It's great to see some old favourites back again :o) I love that hydrangea, and it will be fun to play with a smaller version of Upsy Daisy.

Here's a sample they showed us at Convention...not a great pic, sorry. It was taken of the big screen from my iPad!

Here are the details about this Monthly Promotion

• All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $25.95.
• While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until April 2014, while stocks last
• All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.
• The stamp images may be sized differently from the original stamp sets.
