Time to Say Goodbye…and Hello!

Today, we say goodbye to an old friend.  The 2017-2018 catalog retires today.  First, there’s the outgoing “2016-2018 In Colors“.  Saying goodbye to 5 colors that were featured in so many projects is probably the hardest part of any retirement list.  Did you stock up on your favorites?  I just checked; all the cardstock is gone, but it looks like there is still inventory of all inks, refills, and markers.   It’s also time to say goodbye to favorite Stamp Sets, Bundles, Designer Series Papers, Ribbons, and more. ​  

 

Saying goodbye is bittersweet because tomorrow is June 1st.  And you know what that means?  There’s a BRAND NEW CATALOG!  I’ve been sharing sneak peeks with you for the last few weeks, but wait until you see the whole thing!  I’ve certainly got my wish list ready to go!  

Here are a few things to know:

• The new catalog will be available at 12 pm MOUNTAIN TIME (3 PM EST).
• Any expedited shipping orders placed on Friday 6/1 will not ship until Monday 6/4.
• The current Blends markers are back in stock.  You’re going to see a big expansion of colors with the Blends.  Please note that the new Blends colors will be available mid-June due to a delay in shipping. 
• Join my monthly VIP group!  All orders of $50 or more will receive a FREE and exclusive 4-card tutorial as a special thank you at the end of the month. 

As I learn of more details, I’ll be sure to keep you posted.  Please email me if you have any questions at all. 

We have a guest stamper in the house today.  Thank you, Amy Bryson, for creating such a lovely display for this Saturday’s “Super Saturday BOGO and New Catalog KickOff Event“.  If you’re planning on coming on Saturday, be sure to bring your camera!  You’re going to want to take pictures of all the displays!
