I am having a retirement party on May 3, 2014 at 2:00 pm. If you would like to attend, email me for more details. I will have some past retired products available for sale. Everyone who places an order with me between now and May 3 will receive a free tutorial in your email. If you order online then you must use the hostess code:  7CJKSTZP to get the free tutorial. When checking out from placing your order online it will ask you if you would like to be contacted. If you put no then I will not know who you are. You will not be able to get the free tutorial in the mail or any thank you cards that I send to my customers. So, please mark yes so that you do not miss any of the freebies!

We love it when we can use a product for more than one thing.  You know it's true!  You may already know and love the Secret Garden Framelits that are designed to coordinate with the Secret Garden stamp set.

Hostess Code:  Z9ZFACAW

 Higlighting: Mixed Bunch stamp set (#125535 wood-mount, #125537 clear-mount) & Blossom Punch (#125603)
Did you know that stamp sets with coordinating punches are my favorites? They are! Why? Because coordinating stamps and punches make creating terrific looking projects fast and simple. One of my favorite coordinating sets from the Annual Catalog is the Mixed Bunch stamp set (#125535 wood-mount, #125537 clear-mount). Beyond the obvious you can use this floral set to create window cards, flower stencils, folded flowers, and butterfly and dragonfly punch art, just to name a few!
Tip: Place punch upside down on a solid flat surface when punching for ease and accuracy every time.  Like so many of Stampin’ Up’s punches, this punch is a great multi-tasker.


You’re Amazing stamp set (#126720 wood-mount, #126722 clear-mount)
“Certain images bring nostalgic memories to mind. The You’re Amazing stamp set is full of images that bring to mind happy, youthful memories of circus acts, carnival games, and elephants doing amazing tricks under the big top.
Tip:
Use the coordinating Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies (#127003) as background layers and to die cut images!


Lacy & Lovely stamp set (#122885 wood, #122887 clear)
“New stampers often ask me what stamp set they should purchase first. It’s a tough decision because there are so many great stamp sets and everyone has their own personal style! I think the best stamp sets for new stampers are ones that work well for a variety of occasions and techniques, and also include some greetings with the images. The Lacy & Lovely stamp set is a great stamp set for new stampers because the circle and floral images are fun for many occasions. The images are also great for a number of techniques like Rock n’ Roll, Heat Embossing, and Resists. The greetings, with a combination of script and angular fonts, add character without being overly blocky or feminine. With a few ink pads and some basic embellishments, you’ll have a great versatile stamp set you’ll use over and over again!”

Ciao, Baby! stamp set (#129645 wood-mount, #129648 clear-mount)
“Stampin’ Up! is well known for our high quality stamps and for having the best coordinating products. The best of both of these worlds comes together when you get stamp sets that coordinate with a punch. Using coordinating stamps and punches is a great way to achieve a quality look quickly! You can easily punch out the coordinating image after stamping, or use the coordinating punch to create layers and backgrounds. It gets even better if you have a stamp set with a couple punches that coordinate. For example: the trendy and fun Ciao, Baby! stamp set coordinates with the Petite Curly Label Punch and the 7/8” Scallop Circle Punch. These punches coordinate with the larger Curly Label Punch and several larger Scallop Circle punches. All this coordination lets you easily create layers and add techniques like windows and donuts! You’ll love discovering all the ways you can use coordinating stamps and punches on your cards, gifts, 3-D projects, and scrapbooks!”
Tip: Cut punched Petite Curly Label or Curly Label in half and adhere behind a punched shape of the same size for a framing effect.


Make a Cake stamp set (#126740 wood-mount, #126742 clear-mount)
“Every day millions of people have birthdays – and I bet you know some of those people! So make their day extra special when you send them a hand-stamped card so they’ll know you think they are extra special, too! The Make a Cake stamp set lets you build delicious tiered cakes for birthdays, baby showers, bridal showers, weddings, and more. Plus, with a variety of cake decorations like butterflies, hearts, flags, pinwheels, and banners you can customize those cakes to make the perfect cake for the special ladies, guys, and kiddos in your life. So make a cake today – no flour required!”  



A Round Array stamp set (#129087 wood, #129090 clear) 
What's better than a great stamp set? A great stamp set with coordinating punches! Stampin' Up! really rocks in the world of coordination. Stamp sets with coordinating punches allow you to create clean, quality projects quickly. A Round Array is a great new set of 8 stamps that coordinates with the 1/2" Circle Punch and 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch. It has 5 greeting stamps and 3 patterned stamps that are ideal for punching. Stamp an image and punch it out with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch. Next, stamp the same image or a different one and punch out the center with the 1/2" Circle Punch. Layer together with A Stampin' Dimensional and you have great, quick impact for projects of all types. These stamps also layer well with our assortment of circle and scallop circle punches to give you lots of greeting combinations. Add even more impact when you color-highlight portions of the images using Stampin' Write Markers! You'll find a real array of projects that the A Round Array stamp set is perfect for!  

Tip: Stamp and punch out your desired greeting with the 1/2" Circle Punch and layer on any of the 8 patterned images for a variety of styles!

Bright Blossoms stamp set
(#125495 wood-mount, #125497 clear-mount)
Petite Pairs stamp set
(#122495 wood-mount, #122497 clear-mount)
These projects showcase the Bright Blossoms stamp set and the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, along with the new Diagonal Plate for the Simply Scored Tool. You’ll love knowing the Simply Scored Tool and Diagonal Plate products give you three times the value as you can make great textured backgrounds, super-fast boxes, and envelopes that show off both sides of our fabulous Designer Series Paper. 
 These cards are a bright and cheerful way to kick off summer fun, whether you decide to keep them for yourself or give them as gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, or end of year teacher gifts!



Delightful Dozen stamp set (#122650 wood-mount, #122652 clear-mount)
“I often have customers ask me what greeting set I recommend. So much of it depends on your personal style, but I usually suggest the Delightful Dozen stamp set.  With 12 delightful greeting stamps and a variety of fonts, this set is one of the most versatile sets. With stamps covering occasions like birthdays, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, get well, and more, you’ll have the variety you need all in one handy set. Grab this delightful set and stamp away!” 
Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper (#126917)
“Some of our best products are hidden in the back of our catalog just waiting to be discovered. The Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper is one of these hidden treasures. Its neutral Crumb Cake color camouflages its true beauty. This specialty paper is heavier than our normal card stock and has glossy, embossed designs. From a natural, masculine, wood grain pattern to detailed floral images, you’ll find lots of reasons to love the 6 different styles included in this one pack. Add a touch of elegance to your project with the Natural Composition paper as it is, or use a variety of resist techniques to really make this treasure shine. You can discover the beauty and versatility of the Natural Composition paper by sponging ink over the glossy, embossed images. The ink won’t absorb into the glossy embossed images so you can really highlight the details of the patterns. Some popular techniques that you can use with the Natural Compositions Specialty Designer Series Paper are: Resist, Rainbow Resist, Stencil Resist, Blender Pen Resist, and Suede Flower! Order your Natural Composition paper today and discover all the fun you can have!”

Everything Eleanor stamp set (#124162 wood-mount, #124164 clear-mount) Petite Pairs stamp set (#122495 wood-mount, #122497 clear-mount)
“Vintage style continues to be all the rage in paper crafting and fashion. The eclectic mix of images including a swirl, label, bird, and flower designs makes this stamp set the ideal combination for creating amazing vintage styles. You’ll find the individual images can easily move beyond vintage, too!”  
Creating a set of elegant cards is fast when you use the One Sheet Wonder Technique. This set showcases the Everything Eleanor and Petite Pairs stamp set. The cards have a simple elegance that stands on its own by stamping one sheet of card stock. Try a stepped-up version with the substitution of Designer Series Paper and coordinating card stock.

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!
Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. We did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone--


WATERCOLOR PENCILS AND CRAYONS DISCONTINUED
April 3, 2013
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!

BEST OF 25 YEARS STAMPS
As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we're bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release-one set per month-during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!
Check back here every month to download a flyer for a new Best of stamp set, and be sure to share it with your customers.
Some things to remember:
  • All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $14.95.
  • 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 March 31, 2014.
  • A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
  • All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only.
While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month, all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, we're including a collector's card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $14.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.




To go along with the free shipping being offered for these three days, I am offering a mystery hostess order. If you place an order with me by Monday April 8, 2013, your name will be entered for a chance at the hostess benefits. Use the hostess code NUGBAYB6 to order online and have your products mailed straight to your home and still go toward the hostess benefits. For every $10.00 spent before tax will get you a chance at those hostess benefits. 

Everyone that uses the Hostess code will receive and extra chance at the hostess benefits. I hope you all take this opportunity to place your order and get the colors that you want before they run out and receive free shipping.
I am working on my thank you cards for April and I hope to have it posted soon. I am also working out the details for upcoming events and will have those posted also. Please let me know if you have any questions about this mystery hostess order, hosting you own workshop and free shipping on all orders placed this weekend.

Happy Stamping,
