Hello my Crafty Friend,

As I mentioned to you in my last email Stampin' Up announced a color refresh with the new annual catalog that goes live on May 2. I have had a chance to process what colors are retiring (sad face), what colors are returning (glad face), and some new colors (excited face) being adding to the collection. While, I am still not totally sure about some of the new colors - I'm excited to step out of my comfort zone and see what I can do with them.

Price Increases

Stampin’ Up! announced a price increase for several products. These new prices take effect with the new catalog that launches May 2.

• Cardstock
• Designer Series Paper
• Specialty Paper
• Notecards and Envelopes
• Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads and Refills
• Stampin’ Blends
• Stampin’ Write Markers
• Select Specialty Inks
• Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machines and Plates
• Embossing Folders
• Punches
• Take Your Pick Tool
• Storage
• Clear Blocks
• Select Adhesives
• Select Stamp Sets
• Paper Pumpkin

I encourage you to take a look at some of the staple consumables (envelopes, cardstock, and adhesives) you need on hand and stock up on them before the prices increase.

Going, Going, Gone - May 1 is your Last Chance! 

Click to see the Annual Catalog Last Chance List and January to April Mini Catalog Last Chance List.

Some of the retiring items will be discounted. All bundles are also retiring. While the bundle pricing is retiring for some products, the stamps/dies/punches are not - perfect example is the bundle we will be using for the Inky Fingers Crafty Retreat in June - Sweet Citrus. If items that are part of a bundle are carrying over it will be noted on the last chance list. If you want the bundle price, you will need to order it before the bundle retires on May 1. Again, the bundles are only available while supplies last. The lists show you the discount percentage and discount price. 

I'm sure I sound like a broken record – but I don't want you to miss something you really want – so please remember these products are while supplies last.

Current Host Code - 42DQZF2F

I appreciate you choosing me to be your Demonstrator and helping me support my family. When you place orders that are under $150 (before tax and shipping) I would appreciate you shopping with the provided host code. This allows me to purchase gifts to share with you! If your order is over $150 (before tax and shipping) don’t use the host code and use the host rewards for yourself!
