New Catalog and some Updates

Hi all! Where has the time gone? Seems like only yesterday when the current Idea Book & Catalog was released. Now, there are only 2 weeks remaining to order from it!

I have a few things to update you on. Most of you should know this if you have seen me or read my emails :) but it bears repeating since the time is near:

1. The new SU catalog will go LIVE on June 1st! That means that the 2011-2012 catalog will end a month earlier than what it shows on the front cover of the catalog, which says June 30th. If there is anything in this catalog that is on the retiring stamps or accessory list that you want, be sure to place your order with me before May 30th. If you missed it, here is a link to the retiring lists: 2011-2012 Retiring Lists

2. If you placed a $50 or more order from me this past year, I will automatically mail you a new catalog. I didn’t have time to ask who wanted one, so I assumed you all did :) and, if you end up with an extra, share it with someone who loves stamping, too. SU has a mailing selector sorting system and I prepaid for the catalogs and used the bulk mailing option. They will be shipping at the end of the month. I cannot post any details online or pictures of new catalog until June 1st.

You will notice a few new things when you get your new catty. It’s lighter! SU is moving some of the seasonal items that we might not need all year to the new and improved mini catalogs. They won’t be mini anymore! The Seasonal catalogs will be 8-1/2 x 11 in size and around 40 pages. The annual catalog received a makeover by getting more organized, zoomed in detail pics of artwork, and 100 new stamp sets!

3. NEW Customizable Starter Kits! We’ve been asking for this for years and this year is the right year AND a reduced price, too! Stampin’ Up! starter kits are only $99 for this next catalog year and YOU get to pick what you’d like in it! Choose $125 in catalog products of your choice, pay only $99 plus your state sales tax and shipping is FREE. Hobby or business, you choose. Maybe you have been a demo before and would like to come back to get new catalog goodies? Or, maybe you have been tossing the idea around and waiting for the kit price to come down? Call or e-mail me and we can chat it out. You can read more about it HERE.
