Color Revolution

If you have not already heard, Stampin' Up! announced a week ago that they will be revamping our 48 colors.  This is great news!  We will have a fresh, new, and exciting color palette to play with in our stamping endeavors. The flip side is we will lose some colors and some of them may be near and dear to you as they are to me.

I encourage you to stock up on any of your favorites if they are on this list.  Click to see larger images of chart.

  Here are the new colors (some stayed)  and you will notice some In Colors that have returned to us!  Yeah.    Click to see larger image of chart   ------>Download New_Colors_US_0310

 

I am thrilled that my favorite In Colors are returning.  I held on to my ink and paper on a hunch.  I am very excited to see them back and I can break them out and play with them again.  Stampin' Up! has been working on this for two years so they have really put some thought into the market trends. 

I plan on having some Color Renovation Clubs setup by the time you are able to purchase all the new colors in the new catty!  I can't wait to see what else they are planning for us with the new catalog!

Ever wonder what is in "the kit"?

This is a pretty amazing deal!  I know that SU has a recruiting special periodically, but this time it is the FREE set and the KIT at a discount!  If you ever needed a reason to go forth and sign up, now is the time!

I thought it was pretty cool to see what all is in the kit nowadays since we have added the Decor Elements Line to the Stampin' Up! family. 

Let me know if you are interested in joining up.  All the paperwork can be done online now, so it is really, really easy and takes only a few days to get your password to login to the Demonstrators site with all it's wonderful wealth of information and ideas!

4 ways to leave your lover...

Not really.  Actually SU has 4 new ways to become an SU Demonstrator! 

1. Order the large Starter Kit for $199.00 and get a free Stamp Set from the new Catty.
2. Order the Stamp Focused Starter Kit for $99.00 (mini-kit)
3. Order the Scrapbook Focused Starter Kit for $99.00 (mini-kit)
4. Order the Decor Elements Focused Starter Kit for $99.00 (mini-kit)

All mini-kits include the business supplies, but are focused on the elements instead of all the other supplies (cutter, inks, etc) that come in the large starter kit.  This is a great way for you to get your foot in the door if you already have most of the basic supplies and are looking for an alternative to the $199 kit.

Click on the link to get the full scoop!  There are special order forms for the mini kits, so let me know if you are interested and I will send them to you.

Betch'a can't wait to see...

... the new Catty!  OMG, it is fabulous!!   There are so many new things and some things have left us, but overall I love it.  Much better than the last one!  Things I love about it include:

• New IN COLORS (delicious)
• About 1/2 the sets are DIE-CUT (no cutting them out yourself)
• Organized in an easy to understand manner
• Ribbon, ribbon and more ribbon
• More fun accessories to play with

Ohh, the classes are being planned and we are having a hard time choosing what to do!  There is so much that is available, not to mention the new Big Shot line and the new Decor Elements line. 

Here is the catty link if you can't wait until the OPEN HOUSE on September 6th!
