Stampin’ Up! has recently announced several changes to the Idea Book and Catalog Program:

• Stampin’ Up! will be releasing the catalog annually beginning in July 2009.
• Mini-catalogs will be offered three times per year with the Holiday mini catalog being offered from August 1, 2009 – January 4, 2010.
• Each mini catalog will have NEW hostess stamp sets available for those who book a catalog or in-home party.

I am excited about the changes and am looking forward to the Holiday mini catalog being offered at an earlier time this year. 

Speaking of catalogs, would you like to receive a FREE CATALOG?  The retail price is $9.95 but I would like to give you a FREE copy.  All you need to do is email me with your name, address, AND telephone number, and I will send you a current Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog and the Occasions mini catalog for FREE.  I will call you in a few days to follow-up on the catalog delivery and ask if you would like to place an order.

If you are intersted just email me!

Isn’t this such an adorable Easter stamp set?  It’s going to be coming out in the new Occasions Mini Catalog that starts on April 1st.  Now, here is the BEST part of my announcement – I’m so excited to tell you that although the Occasions Mini Catalog Sales period does not start until April 1st, Stampin’ Up! has started a "sneak peek" sales period for select stamps sets from The Occasions Mini Catalog.  This runs from March 1st through March 31st.  And do you want to know the BEST PART of this special offer?  It’s running during the same time as Sale-A-Bration which means that you can earn FREE Sale-A-Bration product while purchasing your new sets.  Check out the sets and prices in the chart below and view the actual pictures of the sets here: 

These items–including an Easter stamp set and two all-occasion stamp sets with Easter images–will give you the opportunity to plan for your Easter crafting. In addition, you might notice that English, Spanish, and French sets are listed in the above table; for the first time ever, you can purchase all three language stamp sets: English, Spanish, and French!
