April 2019 Paper Pumpkin is Very Distinktive

Stampin'Storage

Hope everyone had a blessed Easter! I was working on some storage this weekend and playing with my Stampin'UP! accessories!

I love the new storage solutions! I am using the "Ink Pad and Marker Storage Trays"
for all of my extra pads and Blender Pens! I love the fact that I have the pens right next to stamp pads now! Take a peek HERE at the new products! And from what I understand there will be more to come! :)

Hoppy Easter

Love and good wishes to all of you on this Blessed Easter Sunday! A perfect day to say thank you to all of you for being there and supporting me! I truly am blessed!

Just Announced....
Stampin' Up! announced this morning that the Stampin' Trimmer will be retiring, a die line supplier transition and modest price increases coming!

"We have decided to retire the Stampin’ Trimmer as of June 3, 2019, including all accessories—replacement cutting blades, scoring blades, and cutting mats. We’ve experienced challenges with our supplier and are taking the opportunity to research and explore a replacement option for this product, which will not be the same as the current Stampin’ Trimmer."

Stampin’ Trimmer and all blades/accessories are retiring.  If you would like a Stampin' Trimmer, replacement blades or accessories, please order them now, while supplies are available.  There is a current quantity limit of THREE on blade packages (set of two).  On April 15, the limit will be increased to SIX.   Shop for the Stampin’ Trimmer and supplies here: Trimmer; Blades; Replacement Cutting Mat
Retiring In Colors:  Grab these retiring In Color and coordinating ink and paper products while they are still available!  They tend to sell out quickly!
Stock Up NOW! When the new catalog is released, there will be some modest price increases on a select product, including card stock, Designer Series Paper, Foil Sheets and embossing powder.  See a list of all price changes here (including the names of the new 2019-2021 In Colors -SUPER EXCITED FOR THAT)!
June 4! The Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog begins.  New stamp sets, 2019-2021 In Colors and a new die and embossing folder style will be introduced.  Get the scoop here on the new Stampin’ Up! dies and embossing folders.

Farewell My Inky Friends!

The new catalog will be here before you know it and with that comes the introduction of the NEW IN COLORS and a sad farewell to the 2017-19 colors :(

If you love these colors, buy them now before they run out! Don't forget all the matching Cardstock, reinkers, ribbon and embellishments will be gone too! 

Retiring colors are:
Powder Pink
Berry Burst ( my fave!)
Fresh Fig
Tranquil Tide
Lemon Lime Twist (my OTHER favorite)

Brusho Splatter

Brusho is a fun way to create this awesome burst of color on your projects! Simply wet and sprinkle the Brusho color on- BUT CAREFULLY! It is a fine powder and takes very little to create alot of color! :)
