Want to know one of the best parts? All of the new stamp sets are die-cut, which means you just have to pop them out of the rubber sheets and assemble. The sets featured in the previous catalogs must still be cut out because SU! didn't re-make the dies.
You'll be able to order all these exciting new items beginning August 11.
New Catalog Special!

- It's a Stretch
- Putt Putt
- Eastern Blooms

Stamptemberfest is Coming!
What is Stamptemberfest? Sherry, who is the absolute best Tastefully Simple consultant, and I have teamed up to bring you a day filled with good food, fun and creativity. She always has a terrific and scrumptious menu to keep our tummies happy. On the Stampin' Up! side, I will prepare three exciting technique classes, and provide several make-n-takes for you to create while waiting for your classes. Please bring your own Stamper's Tool Kit (adhesives, scissors, ruler, pencil) - all other supplies will be provided.
The day starts at 9:00 a.m. and goes to 4:00 p.m. There will be door prizes galore (you must be present to win) and a special grand prize from each of us at the end of the day. Space is limited, so the earlier you register, the better. We look forward to sharing this awesome day with you!

25% Off on All Hodgepodge Hardware!
What I have heard is that SU! will continue to carry the Hodgepodge Hardware, but the current finish will be retired. If you like the brushed finish, now is the time to stock up! Will they have new designs? I don't know . . . I guess we'll have to wait to see!
Just a Few Cards
While browsing through a recent magazine, this layout was presented as a challenge. It went together surprisingly easy, so I think it's a keeper!

New Occasions Mini Catalog
The stamp sets get even better! A couple of the more different ones are She's All That, a set of four silhouette girls - one who is a bride, one who is pregnant, one having a birthday, and one walking a poodle carrying a hot drink. Then there is a greeting set called Sassy Suzie, with her witty and a bit off-the-wall sense of humor. There are so many more, you'll just have to see for yourself.
If you don't have a mini catalog, please let me know - these items are too fantastic to pass up!

Celebrate Sale-A-Bration!
What do you think about these cards? One thing they have in common is that they use some of the stamp sets from Stampin' Up!'s greatest promotion of the year, Sale-A-Bration! What makes this promotion so special? All the items in this special mini catalog, and there are six of them, cannot be purchased. However, for every $50 in merchandise purchased from the Spring-Summer Collection catalog, you can choose any one item absolutely FREE! There is no limit to the number of the Sale-A-Bration items you can acquire. Such as, if you spend $150, you can choose three Sale-A-Bration items for free.
Hostesses receive an extra benefit from holding a funshop or a special techniques class during this promotion. When the class total reaches $300, you'll receive a Sale-A-Bration set free, along with the traditional hostess benefits!
Would you like to have some hands-on time with these stamp sets? Then make plans to join me on Sunday, February 17, at 1:00 p.m. for my special Celebrate Sale-A-Bration event at my home. The fee will be $12.00, and we will use a little of all of it! I can't wait to share these with you. Please RSVP soon, and don't forget to bring your Stamping Tool Kit.
This promotion will run from February 1 through March 17, so start planning your orders now. If you need a Sale-A-Bration mini catalog, please let me know.

Heart Card
This is a fun card to make using the Scallop Circle Punch
and coloring with the Stampin' Write Markers for a little
added pizzaz. I wasn't sure about the color combination
at first, but as I was working with them, I loved it.
Hope you'll give it a try. It may not show up well
here, but I used the Zig Painty pen to provide
some accents to the background and the flower in
the heart.

- Stamp Sets: Holiday & Wishes, Time Well Spent (hostess set)
- Card Stock: Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Cameo Coral
