It’s here, the new 2016 Annual Catalogue is finally live. There are lots of fabulous new products. Namely 70 new stamp sets ( not including the 6 hostess sets), 6 new punches, 20 new sets of Framelits/Thinlits and of course 5 new In Colors.

Those coming to the Catalogue Launch/Open House on Saturday will receive a free copy of the catalogue then. But those not able to come, and even those who simply can’t wait, can click on the image above (or the one in the left hand column) and see an electronic version. Better still, download a copy to your iPad or Kindle and you can check it out whenever or wherever you feel like it.

Please note that those of you unable to attend the launch and who have been to class or spent over £25 with me in the last 12 months will receive a free copy of the Catalogue in the post. I will be posting them to you next Monday (6 June).
I am more than happy to send out Catalogues to others who don’t already purchase products from a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. Please contact me with your mailing details and I will put a copy in the post to you next week.

There are two other really exciting pieces of news to share with you today.

Host a Stampin’ Up! event during June and if the orders come to £250 or more, you will receive an extra £25 to spend on either Stampin’ Up! products (from the Annual Catalogue or Clearance Rack) or you can put them towards a Starter Kit. What’s more, all June hostesses will also get a special thank you from me.

A £250 event will give you whopping £50  (normal 10%* plus the extra £25) to spend on anything in the catalogue or clearance rack. Better yet, put it towards your starter kit. You can then choose £130 worth plus the 2 extra stamp sets mentioned above, and it will only cost you £49. Now that’s a great deal.

Your event can be held at your home, my craft studio or even online.

Pick a date from the following, invite some friends (no experience needed) and those who can’t make it (or live too far away) can shop online and use a hostess code specific to your event.

Dates available are as follows:
9 June
23 June and
29 June

Don’t delay, get in touch and let me know your preferred date as soon as possible.

* The percentage increases with sales and there are more details on the Monthly News & Offers page.   You can check this out my clicking on the tab above.

Join my team in June and you can choose two extra stamp sets for free in your starter kit. These are in addition to the usual £130 worth. The starter kit costs £99 and is shipped to you free of charge.
You can choose any stamp set (wood mount, clear mount or photopolymer) but it cannot be a bundle or kit.
Want to know more? I’m more than happy to chat with you or you can check out the Join My Team page by clicking on the tab above.
If you’ve forgotten to let me know that you are coming to the Open House on Saturday, it’s not too late. Let me know by 8.00 pm on Thursday so that I can ensure I have enough Make ‘n’ Takes for everyone.

Apologies, I forgot to add the project for todays post. Guess that’s what happens in all the excitement and writing it at 2 am to make sure that all the correct links go in!

Anyway, today’s card was made using the Swirly Bird stamp set. I know, not a bird or swirl in sight. Got to love how versatile it is.

Check back tomorrow (it won’t be posted until early afternoon) for some more exciting news.

PS I forgot to mention that I’m taking part in the Stampin’ Stars and Twinklets blog hop on Saturday. I  have projects to share before then but thought I should mention the hop now so you can check it out when it goes live.
