Top 10 NEW Items in the 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up Catalog

	#1 – Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals I was so excited to see this hidden gem in the Stampin’ Up catalog! I always am cutting my dimensionals in half to have them fit on the little shapes and letters. Well, after one month recently where Paper Pumpkin had a kit that included mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, I thought, “Man, these would be great to have on hand all the time!” Stampin’ Up heard us and now you can get your own pack with 720 of them for only $4! See them in the online store
	#2 – Soft Sayings Card Kit I love, love, love card kits. Especially when they make really cute cards, and this new card kit fits the bill perfectly! The printed card bases give you a great foundation to stamp and embellish with all the great die cuts, stamps, and accessorites that come in a convenient little box. This is great for traveling or for giving as a gift. All you need is a SNAIL tape runner and you are set!See it in the online storePS – if you end up loving the kit, you can now get REFILLS for the kit at a discounted rate!
	#3 – Love Today Planner Kit If you love planners, or have been curious about planners, this is going to be a super fun kit for you! I love how it takes the idea of a planner and steps it up! Your planner kit includes a binder that is sized to perfectly fit any of the Memories & More (or previous Project Life) page protectors, so you can mix and match as necessary. And you get pocket pages, undated calendar pages (so you can start anytime), stickers, and accessories. And even better? The accessory sheets are hole punched so they store right in the back of your planner! See the planner in the online store
	#4 – Pick a Pattern Suite I couldn’t pick just one favorite from this suite to share here in my list. I love the stamp set and the patterned paper… and the colors are just so fun for anytime of year! It is a good mix of cute images and cool backgrounds for your projects. See what I mean on the Pick a Pattern suite page
	#5 – Ombre Ribbon If you heard a scream a few weeks back, that was me… jumping up and down and squeeling like a little girl because that A-MA-ZING Ombre ribbon that was in the Cupcakes & Carousels Accessory Pack in the Occasions Catalog, was now available by itself in 3 cute colors! You can get it in Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, and Lemon Lime Twist. So soft and so pretty in person, whether you try them all in my Product Samplers or get a whole spool… you won’t be sad you did! See this ribbon in the online store
	#6 – Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle Really, I could love just the die alone… it is so fun. But I love how it pairs with the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. And when you can get them both and save money, well… sign me up! Plus the stamp set coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet punch and the Classic Label Punch, so you can expand it even more! See the bundle in the online store with more ideas
	#7 – Glitter Enamel Dots Everyone is going bananas over these, and myself included! I was silly and didn’t order them on my very first pre-preorder after On Stage because I thought I was going to be good and wait until my regular preorder. Well… turns out they were so popular they quickly sold out and went on backorder! I’ve ordered more, so they will be on their way to me soon. But I know these are going to go like hot cakes! You can order some today, but if you see a message about them being on back order, don’t worry! They are getting their shipment in on June 5th, so they will be out the door to you and only behind the rest of your items by a couple days. 🙂 See them in the online store here
	#8 – Floral Statements Stamp Set I had to put this stamp set on my list because I think it is going to be easily missed! It is so gorgeous and looks really complicated to color… but it can be as simple or as detailed as you want! It is perfect for simple watercoloring with an Aqua Painter or get details with the Watercolor Pencils. Either way, it is on my very first order and I can’t wait to play! See the stamp set in the online store
	#9 – Embossing Paste This is one thing I don’t have any experience with… and when I saw it in the catalog I pretty much just passed it over. But then I saw it demo’d at OnStage and I was totally sold! It is a really cool way to add some texture and dimension to your cards in actually a pretty simply way to do it. Just lay down a mask and then paint on some of the Embossing Paste. You can add color to the paste, color it later, use it as a background, lots of fun options! Check out the embossing paste and a few more samples in the online store Also, here are the masks and the tools that go with it to make your experience much easier and more successful!
	#10 – Birthday Memories Designer Paper Ok, one more favorite to make it a nice and even Top 10! I thought I would share the Birthday Memories designer paper. It looks like your favorite classic childrens book, but also has die cuts that perfectly cut out the shapes in the patterned paper, and so much more to go with it. I saw a great idea for a fun class that I hope to have shared with you all soon! But in the meantime, you have to check them out! See the Birthday Memories paper in the online store

Don’t forget, you can try a number of these items in my PRODUCT SAMPLERS and I’ll be keeping sign ups open for just a short time more for these samplers, so get your selection in ASAP!

Also, there is a great promotion going this month as well!

If you have questions about the promotion or are interested in hosting, please let me know at jennifer@nwstamper.com.

I’ll leave you to browse and enjoy! Time for me to go finish up my order and get it in so I can start playing with more goodies soon! 🙂

Sneak Peek! The Eastern Palace Suite is Available Early!
How fun is this? Normally, the new Stampin’ Up annual catalog comes out on June 1st and so you would have to wait for the new catalog to go live to order any of the new goodies (well, unless you purchased the demonstrator starter kit, but that is a whole other fun thing!). But this year, Stampin’ Up decided to get the party started early by releasing one of the suites early!
Introducing the Eastern Palace Suite!
This is a new suite that is coming out with the Annual Catalog but you can get your hands on it via one of two bundles. Plus, you’ll get one or more free items with your bundle as well!
Let me tell you, I know those pictures are hard to see, but the pieces in the bundles are SOOOO Pretty!
I especially love the Eastern Gold Vinyl Stickers and you will be seeing me use them a LOT I expect. 🙂
Free Card Tutorial to Get you Started when you Buy a Bundle!
Now, if you think they look cute but you are worried about getting started with the bundle – don’t worry! I have you covered! Order one of the bundles and I’ll send you the instructions for making all three of these cards with your new goodies.
And those are just the tip of the iceberg. The one thing I’m learning with this framelit and stamp set, its that the possibilities truly are endless.
See the items in the Eastern Palace Suite online HERE
Eastern Palace Starter Bundle
$60.50
Eastern Palace Premier Bundle
$103.50
Get even more free with the BEST bundle option!
I just thought I’d also share the best bundle option if you want to really take it up a notch and get more free goodies and have the opportunity to get even more. Consider the Ultimate Bundle – the demonstrator starter kit! You’ll only pay $99 plus tax – the shipping is always free – and you’ll be able to not only get the Premier Eastern Palace Suite, but you’ll also have $21.50 more in product you can select to be added to your kit. That includes picking up Annual Catalog preorder items! See…
We have an awesome Fun n’ Crafty Stampers group who would love to welcome you, and we are working right now to start inspiring each other with this bundle and I’d love to have you join us.

Are You Ready! It’s Sale-a-Bration Time!
Well, today is an exciting day, but it started off with a bit of a big BANG! That sound was the sound of all of Stampin’ Up’s servers crashing meaning not only could I not get my launch day order in, but I can’t even call in and chat with the fabulous demonstrator support folks. But, while we wait for the servers to come back up – don’t worry I’ll post here and on my Facebook page when they are back – I can still share a couple project ideas and the catalogs so you can work on your wishlists and make sure you’ve gotten all your favorites down and ready to go.
Like check out this super sweet Sending Love suite that is perfect for all your love notes and special valentine’s treats!

The Year End Closeout Sale is Here!
I was all stoked about the Online Extravaganza, and I knew the Holiday Catalog retiring list was coming soon… but I didn’t know until just a couple days ago that Stampin’ Up was going to up the ante by coming out with a full Year-End Closeout sale!
Of course, they didn’t tell me what was going to be in the sale or exactly how it was all going to work, so I had to wait until this morning to check it out. But now that I’ve figure out all the deals and possible confusion points, I wanted to make sure to share it all with you! And yes! You can add sale items to the demonstrator starter kit to double up on the savings if your list is big!
Stampin’ Up has made grouped together 3 types of deals and closeout items into one “sale” online. If you go check out the Year-End Closeout sale, you’ll find the following items mixed together by product category…
Holiday Catalog Retiring Items
Any holiday catalog item that is in the “Year-End Closeout” category is being discontinued as of January 3rd. Many retiring items are discounted, but not everything.
