Stamping with Tea and Cake

Stampin' Up! Convention Report

Just wanted to check in and tell you all what a great time we are having and how inspiring the convention is!! So far we've taken part in classes and lectures, dressed up in our groovy gear for the Flower Power Party, shopped at the Stampin' Up! store, visited the offices and distribution centre at the Stampin' Up! campus in Riverton, won goodies and made a bunch of new friends!! We also swapped out around 200 card front and some flower pins we made and received some amazing creations in return!

Can't promise when I will next be able to blog, but here's a photo of Rebecca and I on Day 1, ready for the fun!

I'm off to see the wizard...

..........actually I'm not, but I am off to Salt Lake City to the Stampin' Up! annual convention!

I'm SO excited, and my dear friend and new demonstrator Rebecca is coming too!!

Keep a watch for updates, and I haven't forgotten the blog candy for those of you who signed up in May and June - it will be on it's way to you when I return!!!

The Last Chance List is out!!!!

Here's a quick message about the retiring stamp sets and accessories that Stampin' have published today.

More to follow......... but for now...

The last chance list of items retiring from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog (English and Spanish) and the Decor Elements brochure have been posted, so instead of me going on and on, I am going to give you the link here so you can check it out yourself. When you get to my on-line catalog click on the Shop Now button and then the Last Chance button and then you can look at everything by category.

Be warned though, supplies are very limited on many items, especially the retiring color related items. That means inks, refills, cardstock, ribbons, designer papers, brads, buttons, beads, scrappin' kits... the list is endless (well, ELEVEN pages long!!!!!!!!) and that doesn't include the stamp sets!!

And starting today, for this month only, I'm holding a Free Stamp Set of the Week special. You will earn one ticket for every $20.00 before tax and shipping you order at my online store only (direct order through my website). The winning ticket will be picked at the end of the week (Sunday). Please note this is a special by me only and not Stampin' Up!

Unfortunately I only have nine people signed up which is not enough to rent the clubhouse.

I am relocating the event to my house. Card making, tea in the garden, music and good friends - what more could we ask for?

Apart from no rain!!

 

Stamp-A-Palozza!!

You may have missed the early bird booking but there is still time to sign up.

See full details on my previous post from May 17th.

Please complete your form and return with the full amount ($55) by Friday 28th at the very latest!

Have you seen the new Summer Mini Catalog yet?

The new summer mini catalog from Stampin' Up! is just GORGEOUS!!

In case you haven't seen it, let me take you on a little tour!! Click HERE to view the whole catalog!

If you haven't received a copy (my "preferred" customers do!) then let me know and I'll send you your own copy!!

There are two new hostess sets, "It's the Thought" with cutesy images and fun phrases and "Punched Posies" which matches an assortment of Stampin' Up!'s punches.

There are floral, vintage, seasonal and fun stamps available now either wood or clear mounted, including bridal, Father's Day, 4th July and Graduation sets!!

One of my favourites is Sweet Scoops, with ice cream cones, and scoops of ice cream - there are even sprinkles and a cherry to go on the top!!

Included in this catalog are new designer papers,  Presto Patterns allows you to color the paper any color you like using inks or spritz spays. The Travel Journal designer paper has a matching stamp set, and there are new chipboard books that you can turn into an awesome vacation scrapbook.

If you are planning on a party this summer, the perfect selection of Tropical Party supplies are just what you need!! Stamps, designer papers, a Big Shot die and even party favor boxes!!
