Product Changes Coming

There are some product changes coming with the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog in June.  These are some major changes and you can make sure you take advantage of the inventory while we have it.   Once the retirement list is announced, all the products will sell out quickly. 
 
Stampin’ Up! is releasing a new Die Cutting system.  This new system will replace the Big Shot and its accessories.  The good news is that with this change, Stampin’ Up! will work directly with the manufacturer when it comes to all products for this system.  Stampin’ Up! is also releasing a new paper trimmer.  There is still no release date for the new products.  This also means that the new catalog being released in June will have no Big Shot or paper trimmer.  But they are coming. 
 
I would advise to stock up on any of the items for the Big Shot or paper trimmer that you need.  The scoring blades and mats for the trimmer are already sold out.  There are also many accessories for the Big Shot that you can still pick up.  None of these products will last long next week.  All of the products will no longer be available once they sell out.  So shop my online store with some of the links below to get the supplies you need before the retirement list is announced.
 

Flying Dove

Send this flying dove card to someone in need of a smile.  The Serene Garden bundle is used to create this beautiful project.  Although sending cards in the mail is rare today, everyone enjoys them a great deal.  It’s another way to connect with family and friends besides technology.  We also love the smile when they open the card because they didn’t expect it.  In addition to daily phone calls, cards speak another language.
