There is a lot of news from Stampin’ Up this week so I want to make sure you are aware of some upcoming dates and important changes.

April 15th:    Annual Catalog and Occasions Catalog Retiring List
Stampin’ Up retires about 1/2 of the catalog to make room for new! Remember that many items sell out immediately. Be sure to stock up on retiring In Color card stock, ink refills, and other coordinating items before they are gone.

New Annual Catalogs will be out in May!  I will be giving them out the last week of May. Ordering from the new catalog begins June 3rd.

June 15th: Stamp & Scrap Creative Escape A day of stamping and fun hosted by Sandy Mitchell and myself. Get your reservation in early to hold a spot and take advantage of the early bird fee.  More information and reservation form at the end of this post.

June 29th: My annual Open House & Sale of Retired Stamps & Products 1:00 PM

Stampin’ Up Trimmer and the Big Shot are retiring  There will be a gap in time between when the Big Shot and the Stampin’ Trimmer retire with this current catalog (or sell out) until the time when the new replacement products are available (we don’t know exactly how long this will be, but there will NOT be a Big Shot or a paper trimmer in the new 2019-2020 catalog in June)

• Continue to use your Big Shot or other die cutting machine with all Stampin’ UP! embossing folders and dies
• Watch for a new style of dies and embossing folders in the new 2019-2020 catalog!! Continue to use them with your current die cutting machine.
• Dies, embossing folders and trimmer accessory items COULD sell out quickly, so shop early and don’t wait for the retiring list on Monday, April 15 to place your order if you have had your eye on any of the current dies or folders!

If you need to stock up on some Stampin’ Trimmer supplies, do that soon. They have ordered what they hope to be a 6 month supply of trimmer blades, but they could go quickly.
