It's a great day for Stampin' Up! fans...the first day of the new annual catalog!  There is a TON of stuff I really like in the catalog this year and I can't wait to get back to stamping so I can share some of my favorites.  Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be able to share a few things.  In the mean time, browse through the catalog and enjoy!  Check back tomorrow to see all the exciting promotions for June.

As you know, the 2010-2012 In Colors will retire at the end of the month. It's hard to believe that it's already time to say goodbye to Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Poppy Parade!

In 2010, Stampin' Up! announced during the last color renovation that we plan to refresh the color collections every three to five years. With that in mind, you may want to hold onto your 2010-2012 In Colors supplies in case they are added to a color collection in the future.

There's still time to order from the retiring stamps & accessories lists.  Click here to see the lists of retiring items and place your order online through my website before midnight on May 31.

Starting June 1, Stampin' Up will be selling their new "firm foam" classic ink pads.  Check out this video to learn all the juicy advantages of these new pads.  Current re-inkers will work on all the new pads EXCEPT basic black, basic grey, tempting turquoise, marina mist, and perfect plum.  Once you upgrade those colors to the new ink pads, you'll also need to replace your re-inker to use on the new pad.

You can keep your old re-inker to use for watercoloring or filling wheel cartridges.

Enjoy!

I will be starting a new hostess club in June. This is how it works...each club member agrees to order a minimum amount of Stampin' Up product each month - the amount and number of months depend on the number of ladies that join, (5 club members =5 monthly orders of $30, 6 club members = 6 monthly orders of $25 each, 7 club members = 7 monthly orders of $21.44, etc). Orders are due to me by the first Saturday of the month, but will be due on June 16 for the first month to ensure everyone has time to receive their catalogs. I will draw names to determine the hostess for each month. For the month in which you are the hostess, you get to reap the hostess benefits which include a ton of free stuff! You can increase your hostess month sales with outside orders or choose to have a workshop in your home or mine to increase sales (and free stuff) for your month.

Time to make room for new stamps :-)  Please comment on this post and leave your email address if you are interested in purchasing any of these stamp sets.  I can add USPS shipping if you are not local to me.  I'll use flat rate boxes or envelopes, whichever is cheaper.  I'll send a paypal invoice and ship when payment is confirmed.

We're having a party! On Saturday,July 16 join me and 3 other demonstrators for a rubber garage sale and stamp camp! The brand new idea book & catalog starts July 1, so camp projects will feature lots of new items! Retired stamping and scrap booking items will be available at discount prices...cash & carry!

Reserve your copy of the new catalog for $5 (retails for $9.95) and pick-up on July 16 by replying to this email. We will have a limited number of extra catalogs for purchase that day, so please reserve ahead of time. If you want a catalog but cannot come on July 16, just let me know that too.
