Hello

The craft fair was a great success on Saturday.  I sold over 30 cards in 4 hours!  Plus, I got two custom orders, one for a retirement card and one for a welcome baby card. I love custom orders!  I usually make more than one, so they have a few to choose from.  

Since we last spoke, two NEW kits were released by Stampin' Up! The Frog and Friends Kit is so, so cute.  I can't wait to get it and make the game with my grandson.  The kit includes everything you need to make six cup and ball games in three designs: a frog, a fish and a shark. It even comes with googly eyes to attach.  Who do you know that you could have fun making this kit and playing with it?  Kids? Grandkids?  Nieces or Nephews? Use the link above to order before supplies run out. 

The second new kit that was released is called Your Day to Shine. The kit makes 9 cards (3 each of 3 different designs) and includes coordinating envelopes.  The kit is super simple to put together and no stamping required.  It comes with preprinted sentiments and several of my favorite colors like berry burst, fresh freesia and misty moonlight. If you are new to crafting or just too busy to design a card when you need one in a hurry, grab this kit and have it handy for quick birthday cards or just saying hi to a friend. 

Stampin' Up! is having an event for demonstrators March 14-16 in Houston, Texas and a few other locations around the world.  Demonstrators that attend will get the brand-new annual catalog to bring home plus see lots of new product demonstrations.  It is a very fun perk for joining the Stampin' Up! family.  If you are interested in learning more about being a demonstrator and all the other perks that come with it just click here. 

As you know the cost of living is always going up, rarely down.  So, heads up, prices for certain Stampin' Up! products will be going up. We have been told that things like cardstock, inks, blends, envelopes, punches, adhesive and the embossing machine will get a price increase effective May 1st.  My recommendation is to plan ahead, look through your inventory and place your order before May 1st using this link to my online store.
