Hey, Listen UP

Hi Stampin' buddies- Just a quick post to let you know that we had a blast today at Card buffet. I think the girls really liked all of the cards! I was going to repeat this class on Saturday, but have decided to cancel it! There are just too many things that have to get done around here and I am running out of time PLUS it is Keith and my 28th wedding anniversary this weekend!! 
Thanks for making today so fun- Bev, Sharon, Janet and Peggy!

Just Announced.....

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.  
Don't wait to stock up!
