Hello

Well, Spring is off to a crazy start here in Hopkins, Minnesota.  Last week it felt more like summer with four days in a row of temperatures in the mid 80’s and then Sunday we went back to winter with snow, wind and cold.  Luckily by Monday afternoon it all melted and the snow was gone. 

Speaking of gone, don’t forget to look at the Last Chance list on my online store.  The current annual Stampin’ Up! catalog has lots of retiring items that are on sale anywhere from 10-60% off.  So now is the time to stock up on cardstock, ink refills, ribbon, etc. for any of the 15 retiring colors that you love before they disappear for good.  The colors that are retiring are Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Mango Melody, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point, Merry Merlot, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride, So Saffron, Pear Pizzaz, and Mint Macaron.   

While you are visiting my online store, be sure to take a look at the Online Exclusives. Online Exclusives will not be seen in any catalog and they will change from time to time.  I like the Tropical Leaf bundle which includes a stamp set and a coordinating paper punch that cuts out your tropical leaves.  When you buy the stamp set as a bundle, you save 10% versus buying them each separately.

Then if you shop on April 19^th and your order equals $75 or more, you will get a bonus of FREE SHIPPING!  A few times a year Stampin’ Up! will announce a FREE SHIPPING day and save you quite a bit of money if you take advantage of it. 

As you know, the price of everything from gas to groceries has gone up recently.  Paper Pumpkin is no exception.  The monthly subscription price for the Paper Pumpkin craft kit is increasing as well. Effective May 2^nd, 2023 the month-to-month price will be $24.50, which is still a great deal in my opinion because of all the many benefits which I wrote about in a recent blog post on my website.  Here is the link to my 16 Reasons Why You Should Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin.  If you want to beat the price hike, my recommendation is to PrePay for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months BEFORE May 2^nd. That’s what I am going to do to save a few dollars! Here is the link to order a PrePaid subscription. 

Last but certainly not least, Stampin’ Up! has released another stunning new kit called Forever Friends.  Kits are perfect for beginner crafters or crafters with busy schedules that need cards in a hurry.  Everything you need to make 8 gorgeous cards including the coordinating envelopes for just $21 should make you race to my online store (on April 19^th for free shipping)!  Order the Forever Friends Kit and tell your friends how much they matter to you with these great handmade cards. 

I hope spring has sprung in your neck of the woods. Take care, God Bless and happy stamping!
