Happy New Year! It’s the new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue year 🙂 As sad as it is to bid farewell to the retiring products it’s very exciting to see all the new products available! I’m hosting an Open House and Retired Rubber Sale this Saturday, June 8th, here in Burlington. Please RSVP to reserve your copy of the new catalogue, as well as helping me figure out how much food to put out!! (plus get directions if you need them!)
If you’d like to get a copy of the catalogue but can’t make it that day, please contact me to make arrangements to get your own physical copy!
I’m also taking bookings for in home classes – you can be sure we’ll be using some fun new product and colour in the projects we create. My next monthly card class will be Wednesday, June 12th – please note the date change – it’s the SECOND Wednesday of the month, not the first. If you’re looking to budget out your new catalogue spending, consider joining my Stampers Club – spread your purchases out over 6 months, and you get hostess dollars to spend once during that 6 month period!
In the meantime, I’ll be packaging and pricing retiring goodies for the sale….hope to see you Saturday morning at 9am!!

Just dropped off my donation for the Charles R. Beaudoin PS Silent Auction! I donated a package of paper crafting items (plus gift certificates – free class for 6!) for the Annual Barbeque. Later today, I’ll be doing final preparations for the Tansley Cares Event at Tansley United Church. It’s been a little while since we did this event and I’m looking forward to it! We’ll create cards that will be sent to people at various times during the year – significant events and times when people could use a bit of support or a boost. I’ll also donate 20% of product sales towards the Tansley Cares group. If you’d like to participate in that, email me with an order!
The other excitement is that new catalogue orders can start later TODAY! There’s an overlap – you can order retiring product until June 3rd, but you can start ordering new catalogue product May 31st (after 2pm eastern time)! So much opportunity to shop…..
If you’re in need of sentiments (and really, who isn’t…LOL) 25% off Sassy Salutations, Sweet Essentials and Petite Pairs starts today and runs until the end of June. I’ll post links later once everything is up live again (online ordering and catalogues are being updated as I type…)

It’s that time….the new desktop calendar download is now available for June. You can download the image HERE. I am loving the way that the downloads keep my desktop background varied and interesting! And yes, June is THIS WEEKEND!! The time surely flies when you’re having fun.
Have you reserved your copy of the new catalogue? Be sure to contact me to do so! You can pick them up at my New Catalogue Event on Saturday June 8th, or we can make arrangements otherwise. If you’ve got your copy reserved (or have your new copy already) – you can email me your new catalogue order NOW and I can enter the order for you as soon as the ordering goes live on June 1st.
Lots of things to look forward to in the next month – and I look forward to seeing you in person sometime soon if you’re in the Burlington area!!

There’s one week left to purchase retiring items from the 2012-2013 Stampin’ Up! Catalogue – don’t miss out! This card features a couple of retiring sets – the sentiment is from Curly Cute, and the images in the background are from Circle Circus. I used Silver Glimmer Paper (don’t worry, not a retiring product!) to add some glamour to the card. I am not sure if you can see it in either of the photos of the card, but the silver embossing on the word actually also has a bit of glimmer to it…. I mixed some Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder into some Silver Embossing Powder to come up with a sparkly silver concoction that I thought tied in with the theme. I really like how it turned out!
The retiring stamp sets will be available to order until June 3rd. You can place your order from anywhere in Canada online HERE and have it shipped directly to your door! Or, you can contact me by email if you have any questions or want some assistance placing your order.
If you’re in the Burlington area, I have a couple of upcoming events – I’m doing an event at Tansley United Church on Saturday, June 1st. We’re creating cards, and we’ll share some of them with the church’s outreach program. Also, 20% of all product sales that day will be donated to the Tansley Cares outreach program. If you aren’t able to make it but would like your purchase to go towards supporting this effort, please email me with your order by Saturday, June 1st.
Also – last but not least, Saturday, June 8th – 9am start for my Annual New Catalogue Open House & Retired Rubber Sale – you won’t want to miss out! Come get your copy of the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue and shop! If you’re planning on shopping at the retired rubber sale, please bring cash. I can accept Visa & Mastercard for new catalogue orders only. Please RSVP so I can set aside a copy of the catalogue for you! I look forward to seeing you SOON!!

Stampin’ Up! has another free digital download that might have escaped your notice (it escaped mine…..I hang my head in shame….). Packed For You is a digital template that you can download, decorate and then print and assemble – great for end of school year gifts?! Click here to download it from anywhere in Canada in the YamStamps Stampin’ Up! online store. You could load it up with goodies, a gift card, or some photos from the year.
Don’t forget that the MDS (My Digital Studio) software is only $24.95! For that great price you’ll get the full program plus a huge amount of digital designs. You can then download more digital content as you wish (like this template). No shipping costs and instant gratification (love it!). Perfect for procrastinators like me who might occasionally get caught trying to create something at the last minute….to find that the crafting stash lacks an appropriate image/sentiment/template. The downloadable digital content is available in formats for use in MDS or other photo editing software that can handle .png images (like Photoshop Elements).
If you have any questions about MDS, please feel free to contact me. I’ll do my best to answer your questions!
