Bloomin' Bouquet Kit

It's so much fun to check the Stampin' Up! website every day - I often get a pleasant surprise!

This morning, I went to the website and saw that Stampin' Up! has introduced a sweet new kit that is available starting today!!!  It's so fresh and Spring-y - I love it!

Click here to watch the great video of how to put these flowers together. 

Here is the information from the website:

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!

Ordering information:

ps - See yesterday's post for more reminders about this last order date in April.

April 30 order date

Hi my friends,

I am placing my next order at 6:00 on Tuesday, April 30.

Please check over the retiring lists so you can get the items you want before they are gone.  The retiring accessories are selling out quickly.  Please click here to see the retiring items online.  I will be sending an updated list to my customer mailing list also.

It will also be the LAST order date for you to buy any of the This and That product line (and save 15% by buying the complete line now!!)  I love this product line!  Click here to view the products online.

It will be the LAST order date for you to buy the Sent With Love stamp set, DSP or the bundle, which will save you 20% and give you the Calypso Coral baker's twine.  Did you know the DSP has CANADIAN maps on it?  So fun!!!  Click here to view the products online.

Don't forget that you can also get the "Best of..." stamp sets, the Dude, You're Welcome kit, the Paper Pumpkin Try It kit, the new Photopolymer stamp sets and of course, all the regular merchandise!!!  :)

So much to remember, I know!!

Have a wonderful week,
Andra

ps - please feel free to contact me with any questions you have!

Retiring Lists are here!!!

Well here they are and WOWZA - these are big lists!  Lots of my favourite stamp sets are on this list (I will miss Curly Cute, Just Believe, Made for You, Nature Walk and many more!!)

Lots of my favourite accessories are retiring too!  I love all those embossing folders and I can't believe they're retiring my favourite die: the Fancy Favour box!!  Oh, and I must admit that I'm a bit sad that the Shimmer Paint is going!  I always keep a spray bottle of rubbing alcohol and the shimmer paint on my desk so I can add some quick pizazz to my cards!

Anyway, I am placing my first order tonight at 7:00 pm and then a second order tomorrow (Thursday) at noon.  Please try to contact me by tonight to ensure that you are able to get whatever retiring accessories you want.  They often sell out very quickly.  

Stamp sets will be available until the end of May BUT remember that if you order at least $50, you'll get at least $5.00 towards my retired items sale (which will get you a stamp set, punch or more and will be coming soon) AND a surprise gift you will love!

I will edit this blog post every time the retiring accessory list is updated so you will know what items have sold out.  I imagine many will sell out in the first 24-48 hours.

Have fun checking the list!!

Get ready for Wednesday!

No, I have not seen the list, but I have heard from several people who have had a sneak peek of the new catalogue that we can expect a big retiring list!

As usual, many items will be on sale also, which makes the retiring list shopping nicer!!

For those of you who might be contemplating the Starter Kit after the 24th, remember that those sale prices will also help you get even MORE in your Starter Kit!!

I have heard that a lot of punches, Big Shot Embossing Folders and dies will retire.  Lots of accessories, ribbon and more will retire.  ACK!!  Some of them - gasp! - are my favourites!!!  :(  That happens every year but it always causes me some pain...

This is not even getting into the retiring stamp set list!

I am a bit anxious about things selling out VERY QUICKLY, especially because some Demonstrators earned a sneak peek at the new catalogue and will have their retiring wish lists ready to go that morning.  I'm thinking that I would like to move my first order date from noon on Thursday, to 7:00 pm on Wed night.  If you DO NOT get me your order by then, I will place another order on Thursday at noon.

The same gifts from me apply: once you hit $50 in your order, I will give you $5 towards shopping in my big sale I will have in the coming month or so - (10% of order amount after that) AND a special surprise gift I know you will love!!!)

So get ready - I'll send the list out in an email and post it here on Wednesday morning!  Many things will sell out in the first few days so try to have a look at the list and email me with your must have items asap!!

** My first order will be submitted on Wednesday night at 7:00 pm. **
** My second order will be submitted on Thursday at 12:00 noon. **
** My third order will be submitted on Tuesday at 6:00 pm. **

Have a great day!!!

Happy Earth Day!!

FUN things and MORE gifts!

Hi stamping friends,

I just came up with something fun: I am going to ADD a second, special gift to the gift I posted yesterday if you place an order of at least $50 for either the April 25 or April 30 order date.

It is a special SECRET gift that I know you will LOVE!  :)  I'll tell you what it is when you send me your order!!!

This was what I posted yesterday:
"Just for fun, I am throwing in a gift for everyone who places an order of at least $50 for either of the April order dates: you will receive $5 towards any items in my retired items sale (which will not be held until later).  Over $50, you'll receive 10% towards the retiring items (so if you spend $65, you'll get to apply $6.50 towards retiring stuff, etc).  If you order over $100, you'll get 20% of that amount to apply towards sale stuff (ie: spend $120, get $24.)  I know you'll have to wait over a month for that sale, but I'll keep a list so that we don't forget!"

So, TWO different gifts for you if you order at least $50.  Remember that the retiring lists come out on April 24, so that will help you decide what you want/need.


Also, I just want to tell you that I received my April Paper Pumpkin Kit in the mail today and I'm so excited to make some fun, unique cards in the next few days!  The stamp set is "Seriously" fun and I love the fact that this little kit is ready to go with everything I need to make 4 fun cards!  Yay!  

If you have any questions about how Paper Pumpkin works (monthly card kit program from Stampin' Up!) then feel free to ask!  This is the second month and I loved last months' kit too!  You can also buy the Paper Pumpkin "Try It" kit through a regular order from me.  I did and I love them!

Paper Pumpkin Try It Kit - 132600 - $20.95
You get exclusive clear mount stamps, an Island Indigo stampin' spot,  two sweet little journals, 12 adhesive-backed butterflies with which to decorate your journals, yellow baker's twine and the "D" size acrylic block (worth 11.50 on it's OWN!)  The finished projects are adorable!!!

Have a lovely day,
Andra
