Retiring Stamps

I haven’t had much time to stamp lately, but I’m still sad to see the list of SU’s retiring stamps. They must go to make room for the new ones in the catalog release on July 1st! I’m excited to see what’s in the upcoming catty because the new “in-colors” will be released along with a ton of new products. SU is also moving to a single catalog per year instead of two, so stamps will be hanging around for a little longer. Yay!

Here is a link to the list of retiring stamps from the Spring/Summer catty (stamps available through June 30th): Going, going, gone

The Husbin Needs Your Help

Hello dear readers. :) I need your help! The Husbin asked me to ask blogland for a little help on his statistics project. He needs your input on a question:

In lieu of the tax incentives for new home buyers, is 2009 a good year to purchase a home?

Hubs promised I could get an iPhone if I get enough people to respond, so your assistance is much appreciated! (Although he’ll probably cave and get me an iPhone anyway. LoL) Thank you!

Stampin’ Up Occasions Mini Catalog

Ok, so today I already admitted I’ve been a bad blogger. I have to confess that I’m a bad demonstrator too. I haven’t yet posted the release of Stampin’ Up’s Occasions Mini catalog, despite the fact that is has already been out for two weeks! It has a ton of adorable stuff in it and I’ve already spent a good chunk of change on the products, although I haven’t yet had a chance to use them. I love the adorable Matchbox Bigz die and matching stamp set (page 16-17). I’m already planning to make some super cute party favors. :)


Click to open the Occasions Mini Catalog

Also, there’s a promotion going on too! From SU’s website: The Get Connected Campaign: Connect with family and friends when you make them beautiful cards and gifts using products from the Occasions Mini Catalog. Until April 30th, when you buy $40 in products from the Occasions Mini, you’ll get one item from the “Under $10” page (p. 208) in the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog–free!

Happy stamping! :)

Occasions Mini Sneak Peek

Passing along some good news! Stampin’ Up’s Occasions Mini catalog will be out April 1st. SU released a sneak peek of the products that available for purchase during the last month of the Sale-A-Bration promotion (now through March 31st, so they are eligible for all the Sale-A-Bration benefits too!).  Below are the sneak peak stamp sets, which can be found on the shopping portal. Just type in the item numbers in the search box. And here’s a link to the PDF.

Sale-A-Bration Catalog

Sale-A-Bration, Stampin’ Up’s biggest annual promotion is four only days away and you can bet I already have my order ready. I’m just waiting until Feb. 1st to click “submit” and have my goodies shipped over. I love Sale-A-Bration because it’s SU’s equivalent of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. :-)

I wanted to post a link to the Sale-A-Bration catalog for those that are planning to order, so you can pick your favorite products too. SU is offering a free product from this catty for each $50 of merchandise in your order (one selection for $50, two selections for $100, and so on). There are six different products to choose from; four stamp sets, a ribbon bundle, and a pack of designer paper. I’ve posted some pics of the products below. Click here to view the full catty. I also posted the links in the sidebar menu for easy reference. Don’t forget, SU will be giving away a free catalog with every order from Feb. 1st through April 30th (first 22,000 orders), so don’t buy one because ya don’t have to. :-)

If you had a chance to browse through the spring/summer catty online and you like some of the projects included, SU released the list of materials they used to make the projects (also known as the Stampin’ Supplies list) right here (link also posted in the sidebar menu). Happy shopping!

Off to San Diego!

The Hubs and I are on a jet plane to sunny San Diego right, prepping for a wedding tomorrow, although sunny San Diego is more like rainy San Diego right now. Before I go, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on some awesome Stampin’ Up promotions coming up.

Beginning February 1st and through March 31st, SU is having my most favorite promotion: it’s Sale-A-Bration! Each year, Stampin’ Up releases a handful of limited edition stamps and products that can be earned by customer purchases. Stampers get to choose a set or product from the Sale-A-Bration catalog for each $50 purchase of merchandise. So that’s one free set earned for a $50 purchase, two sets for a $100 purchase, and so on. There’s no limit to the free sets earned. This is all in addition to Stampin’ Up’s great rewards already in place. Do you see why it’s my favorite time of the year? :-)

Along with Sale-A-Bration and beginning on February 1st, Stampin’ Up is also giving away a free idea book/catalog with each order placed online! They usually charge $9.95 for the book, so a freebie is a great deal. The idea book is the same as the one posted online; however it’s much better to have it in hand. It’s a wonderful book that I use to find many of my card ideas. In fact, I just made a wedding card for Saturday’s nuptials based on card in the  atalog. Stampin’ Up will be offering a free Idea Book & Catalog with the first 22,000 orders or until April 30, 2009, whichever comes first.

That about does it for the announcements today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
