Sale-A-Bration January 5 - March 31, 2010

It's that time of year. SALE-A-BRATION! What does this mean? For every $50 in merchandise you order, you get to pick a FREE SALE-A-BRATION item.


But SU is taking it one step further. This year, instead of picking an item from the SAB catalog, you may instead pick a stamp set from the current catalog that is $15.95 or less. Your choice! Pick from the SAB catalog or pick from the current IBC (idea book and catalog).


Check out the SALE-A-BRATION catalog.


Below is a sample using Nursery Necessities and the SAB set Whimsical Words: (Enjoy!)

New Mini Catalog arriving January 5th!

January 5th - Be sure to check out the new Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Catalog!


SU is now selling CLEAR MOUNT STAMPS and acrylic blocks! The great news is that you can still get the stamp sets in wood blocks (foam and rubber) too. The clear mounts stamps are a little less expensive than the wood mount stamps. You can order your clear acrylic blocks to use your new clear stamps.


When ordering, please make sure you choose the product number that goes with the type of stamp set you want. They are clearly marked with a W (for wood mount) or a C (for clear mount).


And now for a card sample using the set "Great Friend". Enjoy!

Check out this page that I threw together in literally 5 minutes. It uses a predefined template so I could just drag and drop my photos into the page, SU background paper, SU punches (the butterflies are 1 punch that has been applied twice, had the colors changed, and resized to give the layered effect), the "sunny days" text is actually a SU STAMP. text has been added and I changed the color and size of the text.....all in 5 minutes. It's that easy! I exported the page to JPG format so I could load it here.

Retirement List is Here...and there are discounts!

As I write this blog entry, it is raining and the temp outside is below 65 degrees. I know this because I just got an email cancelling my kid's swim team practice because of the temperature. Plus, I know this because I have on fuzzy socks!! (My feet are freezing but I really do not want to turn on the heat in JUNE!)

It seems so long ago...only 4 days...that we were hanging out at my sister's pool and basking in the warmth! Oh well! On the bright side, since my car does not have air conditioning, at least I'm not sweltering when I get in the car.

Somewhere along the way, June has snuck upon us. Of course that means a couple of things in the Stampin' Up! world. First, it means we are getting ready to bring out a brand new catalog in July and that also means we have to make room for some exciting new stamp sets. The retirement list is now out. Some are even DISCOUNTED!! So go to the link below and check it out. Then go to my Stampin Up Website and order on-line or send me an email with your MUST HAVE items. But hurry, because as things sell out, they are gone forever.
