I’ve finally had a play with some of my goodies that are coming out in the next catalogue.

Crushed Curry is a colour that the US had, which they have back now, are we are just getting in the Colour Refresh.  It’s a very nice yellow.

I’ve also used some Modern Medley Designer Paper which is brand new.

I’ve finally had a chance to look at the retiring list for this year, and it’s time to say goodbye to some stamp sets.  Which means it’s FLASHBACK time!!

First on the list is Artistic Etchings.

I also created this card into a Journal one year for my Convention Roomies as I loved the way it turned out.

I do believe that this one was created for a Catalogue Launch.

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to give you all a sneak peek to what the ladies in Virtual Stamp Club are learning about this week.

They really are quite purty in real life too

To find out more about Virtual Stamp Club, you’ll find the link in the side bar on the right hand side of your screen

Cheerio, I’m off to finally take a glance at the Retired Stamp Set List

Can you believe I’ve had the owl punch since it came out, but have never used it??  Shame on me!!

Well I changed all that for our Wednesday Linc n Learn class.  Searching Pinterest (are you following me?) I came across a card by Mary Fish which was made some time ago I think.  I Case’d her card pretty much exactly, but changed the colours around as the Designer Paper she’d used has long retired.

Cutie huh?  Some of the ladies did struggle with the eyes!  They seem to have a habit of disappearing after they’ve been punched out, then magically reappear when the card was created. LOL

When was the last time you used your Owl Punch?

WOW!!  2 More exciting Limited Edition stamps available.

Single Stamps

A few months ago we asked our North American Facebook friends what they thought of the idea of being able to buy single stamps instead of a whole set. The response was so positive that we started experimenting with it in the North American Market. The experiment has been successful—so successful that we decided to try it out in your market too!

From now until 31 August 2013 (or while supplies last) we’re excited to offer you  five single-image stamps for you to choose from!

Details

• These stamps are available on any order type-customer,  workshop, or online.
• You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyer.
• 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

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favourite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into five sets, which will release-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!

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 $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.
• 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.
• The stamp images may be sized differently from the original stamp sets.

To order the stamps online, simply click on the pictures, you’ll be taken straight to the online store.

It’s that time of the year that we’ve all been looking forward to

What’s even more exciting this year, is that you can pre order your new Catalogue from me and Stampin’ Up! will post them direct, starting MID JUNE!!  Woohooo!!  No more waiting for the 1st of the Month for me to order them.
