Hi! I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful start to a blessed new year!

Stampin' Up! has announced the retiring accessories (papers, embellishments, tools, etc. - basically everything other than stamps) for the Fall-Winter 2008 catalog. These items usually sell out quickly, so if there is something that you are interested in, don't delay in ordering through my website at http://www.katieburke.stampinup.net/.

All of the information direct from Stampin' Up is listed below. Be sure to scroll all the way down for information on the BLOW OUT sale! Don't forget about the LOVE YOU MUCH BUNDLE as well! It is amazing!

Please let me know if I can assist you in any way!

Retired Accessories List
Items on this retired accessories list will be available at regular price while supplies last or through January 18, whichever comes first. Products are marked as available or unavailable. If an item is unavailable, our supply is exhausted and the item can no longer be ordered. This list will be updated every day through January 18. Keep in mind that the status of any retiring product may change quickly based on demand.

With most catalogs, some accessories are completely retired while others are redesigned or reconfigured for the new catalog. Sometimes popular items are "retired" in their current packaging or style to come back with improved packaging or added product features. This year, no accessories are being reconfigured.

FAQs
Q: Are all retiring accessories part of the Inventory Blowout?

A: No. Only retiring accessories listed on the flyer are discounted; however, all items are only available while supplies last.

Q: How do I know about the blowout products that aren't featured in the current catalog?

A: If you have a copy of the Spring-Summer 2008 catalog, use this as a resource for most items. We have also posted on this page a product tip sheet showing any items not shown in the current Fall-Winter 2008 catalog.

Q: What about the blowout items that are not retiring--will they run out during the promotion?

A: Our inventory levels are such that we do not anticipate this happening.

Q: Isn't the 20th Anniversary Embosslit die only available to demonstrators? If not, why would a customer want it?

A: Up to this point, the 20th Anniversary Embosslit die has only been available on a demonstrator order. However, this product will be available during the inventory blowout to customers, as well. The Embosslit die is general enough that it could be used for a 20th birthday or 20th anniversary of any kind (wedding, work service, etc.).

Holiday Shipping Notice

I received the following message from Stampin' Up! today regarding holiday shipping times:

Stampin' Up! recommends that you place holiday orders by Tuesday, 12/16/2008 by 7:00 p.m. to receive delivery before Christmas. All orders received by 12/16/2008 will be picked, packaged, and delivered to the courier in time to arrive by 12/24/2008; however, Stampin' Up! cannot control delivery times, holiday mail volumes are high, and Stampin' Up!'s delivery services encourage customers to ship as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

So, if you have items that you want, be sure to order early... and don't forget that the retired stamps list comes out on 12/09/2008, making this a great time to order those before they are gone forever! Online ordering is available via my website 24/7.

Thanks for stopping by... and have a happy day!!
