Big News from Leadership!

The Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference just ended on Friday in San Antonio TX.  During the conference many new things were announced including a major change to our catalogs.   I'm really pleased with the change and feel it will benefit us all.


Overview of the catalog changes:
"In a nutshell, starting June 1, 2012, Stampin' Up! will release one annual catalog, comparable to (but smaller than) the current Idea Book & Catalog, and two seasonal catalogs, comparable to (but larger than) the current mini catalogs."

The current Idea Book and Catalog 2011-2012 will expire at the end of May instead of the end of June as originally planned.  


    • The Occasions, Summer, and Holiday Mini Catalogs will be    replaced by two seasonal catalogs called the Holiday Catalog and the Spring Catalog.
      • The first Holiday Catalog will run from August 1, 2012 through the beginning of January, 2013
      • The first Spring Catalog will run from the beginning of January, 2013  through May 31, 2013.
  • The seasonal catalogs will be larger in both size (8 1/2" x 11") and page count (about 40 pages) than the current mini catalogs.
Items that will be discontinued as of June 1st, 2012:
Décor Elements and Simply Adorned

There may be other retirements/items discontinued (which is normal at the end of a catalog time frame), and these will be announced later in the year.   Decor Elements and Simply Adorned is being announced now as they are complete product lines not individual product that is being discontinued.  This way if you love the line, you can still pick up items before they are no longer carried by Stampin' Up!.

If you want anything from the Decor Elements or the Simply Adorned lines, now would be the time to order before they disappear. Click here to order directly or drop me a line by leaving a comment.
