BREAKING NEWS... and Updates on SOLD OUT Discontinued Accessories

I am very excited to announce that Stampin' Up! will offer online ordering to customers beginning this Fall!!

What does that mean to you? It means shopping in your jammies if you wish! What a joy to conveniently be able to order great Stampin' Up! products whenever and wherever you want.

The precise details have not yet been released, but I will share them with you as soon as I know them. I do know that you would have the option of ordering directly from Stampin' Up! with an upcharge of 10% with a higher shipping rate... OR by selecting a demonstrator (ME PLEASE!!) when you order, you would save that expense.

I am very excited about this new opportunity Stampin' Up! is allowing me to share with my customers. Ease, convenience, and great products - what more could you ask for??

Now, on to the status of discontinued accessories. I have updated the SOLD OUT items on this link.

Don't forget about the retiring stamp sets as well! Last day to order those is August 10th.

R.I.P. Unfrogettable

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this retiring set! It is called Unfrogettable, an 11-piece stamp set found on page 61 of the Spring-Summer 2008 Stampin' Up! catalog. Sorry for the glare, but it has too many cute images not to share.

For this project, our little green friend was stamped onto a marble tile, surrounded by a few other stamped images from the Unfrogettable set, colored with Stampin' Write markers, and then baked and sealed to make this irresistable coaster... one of my favorite things to create. "Hopping" to share the technique in a class with you soon.

Thanks for stopping by and have a "hoppy" day!!
Katie

PROJECT RECIPE:
Stamps Set(s): Unfrogettable.
Ink: Black Classic Stampin' Pad. Stampin' Write Markers in Green Galore, Handsome Hunter, YoYo Yellow, Lavendar Lace, Real Red, and Apricot Appeal.
Other: Marble Tile. Clear sealant.

EDITED - Complete List of Discontinued Accessories Now Available!

UPDATED LIST 07/30/2008 @ 10:00 a.m. EST - See Below

The discontinued accessories list is now available! Items on this list will be available while supplies last or through August 10, whichever comes first. Products will be marked as available or unavailable. If an item is unavailable, the supply is exhausted and the item can no longer be ordered. This list will be updated every day through August 10. Visit my blog daily for the most current list!

Keep in mind that the status of any product may change quickly based on demand. With most catalogs, some accessories are completely discontinued while others are redesigned or reconfigured for the new catalog. Sometimes popular items are "discontinued" in their current packaging or style to come back with improved packaging or added product features. THIS YEAR NO ACCESSORIES ARE BEING RECONFIGURED, so if you want the products as shown in the Spring-Summer Collection 2008, now is the time to purchase them.

Here is the list. Sorry no PDF available yet. Will replace when/if that comes available for ease of reading:

Thanks For Sharing You with Me!

Time for show-and-tell! I whipped up a few thank you notes this weekend and thought I would share.

This card was made using the Stampin' Up! stamp set called "Fun & Fast Notes." This is 1 of the 8 great stamps in this set, which features a cute sentiment for nearly every occasion... and they really ARE fun and fast!

I am feverishly working on setting up classes, a PMS Night (Pizza, Music, and "Scramping" - AKA a crop), and a new catalog release party! More information on all of that is coming soon. Everything will be posted here, so be sure to sign up to receive updates to my blog by filling in your email address in the Feedblitz box on the right.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a Happy Day!
