The Clearance Rack

You know, I’m in the same boat as all of you when it comes to the Clearance Rack.  Stampin’ Up! doesn’t let the demonstrators know when they put new goodies up in the Rack for sale, and over the weekend it occurred to me that I hadn’t shopped there for a while.  Oh boy, was that ever a mistake!  Some of my favorite retired items were there…including the tiny square and rectangular glassine envelopes.  Naturally, I had to find a project for them:

ABC Bitty Note with Square Glassine Envelope

  • Cute by the Inch Stamp set
  • Early Espresso Classic ink pad; Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write marker
  • Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo and Whisper White card stock
  • Vellum card stock; scrap retired Designer Series Paper
  • Scallop Square, XL Two Step Owl and Bitty Punch
  • Square glassine envelopes $1.99 for 20

I used the Bitty Circle to make a little Peek-a-boo window through the vellum for “hi”.

And another…

Batty Note with Rectangle Glassine Envelope

  • Teeny Tiny Wishes and Elements of Style stamp sets
  • Basic Black Classic ink pad
  • Whisper White, Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie card stock
  • White Gel pen; Champagne Mist Shimmer paint
  • Bat punch; rectangle glassine envelopes $2.49 for 20

Get these envelopes while they last at my Online Store!

Wish I could share more…

Got a WONDERFUL surprise this afternoon.  I was one of the demonstrators who qualified to receive an early copy of the 2010 – 2011 Idea Book and Catalog under a special program offered by Stampin’ Up! this spring.  I expected my catalog tomorrow afternoon based on the email I received, so you can imagine my response when I opened my front door this afternoon to head out the door and a large envelope fell into the house.  I nearly fell over myself!!

We’ve been given VERY clear and specific instructions about what we can and cannot share, and the basic message is that the catalog must be shared in person.  I can tell you that it’s beautiful, that there are many gorgeous new stamp sets and papers, and that the new Color Renovation has been carried out beautifully.  There are products and accessories for every color as well as “kits” of new products to fill in the gaps – for example, you can purchase markers in just the new colors to complete your set of Many Marvelous Markers.

As I have more time to go through this catalog I’ll try to include more insights.  It’s a wonderful catalog and we’ll all get a great deal of pleasure from this offering!

I {Heart} Hearts – wood-mount, Item # 117010, $26.95

Breathe deeply….  it’s THAT time of year!

Stampin’ Up! has made the Sale-a-bration and Occasions Mini catalogs available online a few days early to make sure everyone has a couple of days to work on a wish list.  I’ve already placed a demonstrator pre-order but there are plenty of items still on my list from these two great offerings.  Be sure to click on the links to see what all the excitement is about!

The products in these catalogs will be available for order through Anne’s Online Store or directly through me on January 5, 2010.

No new project for you today…I may be out of the craft room for a couple of days.  I’m working through a frustrating health issue – not life threatening by any means, but significant enough that it’s got me out of my routine.  I promise to be back as soon as I am able!

Meanwhile,  there are new items available on the Clearance Rack and the Holiday Extravaganza Online Sale continues until Monday.  Many Mahalos to those of you who have already placed orders.  The deals are extraordinary!

Back as soon as I’m able….

Shopping for the holidays, Stampin’ Up! style

It wouldn’t be NovembeHoliday Gift Guide 2009r without a Stampin’ Up! special, now, would it??

Yes, I know I wrote yesterday about celebrating too early, but shopping is another thing.  I mean this sincerely.  If you leave your Christmas shopping for too late, it makes you grumpy (trust me, I know this.)  We would all like to give the perfect gift, and we have to invest thought and effort into finding those gifts – and that doesn’t happen on December 23rd (at least on Maui it doesn’t – everyone is sold out!)

Stampin’ Up! has ever so kindly created a Holiday Gift-Giving Guide to inspire you, and in keeping with the spirit of the holidays, there’s a gift for the giver, too!  From November 1 to January 4, every time you purchase $50 worth of products from the Holiday Gift-Giving Guide, you may select a free Decor Elements item with a value up to $16.95.   There are so many images for a variety of occasions that you’ll be tempted to spend in multiples – because there’s no limit to the number of free Decor Elements you can earn.

There’s also the Sweet Rewards promotion (choose any item from the Holiday Mini Catalog for $10 with a $250 workshop and purchase My Digital Studio for $40 with a $400 workshop) and the Digital Starter kit, your opportunity to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and jump in feet first with My Digital Studio.  Check the Promotions page on my website for more details.

Don’t forget to look around your crafting space for inspiration for other gifts…a stationery set, a mini-scrapbook, or a personalized package of goodies is a cost effective and thoughtful gift too.  Of course, a hand-made card is the finishing touch!

What a great deal this week!  Oh, and Boy Howdy, am I glad to be home.  When we moved to Maui almost 20 years ago I quickly realized this was where I was meant to be.  I am a tropical flower with a temperature comfort zone of about 6 degrees – 77 to 83.  The fall colors are gorgeous, but you sure have to wear a lot of stuff to get out and see them.

DOTW_week3

This week’s deal is well timed to allow you – and me – to stock up on embellishments before the holidays.  When your card needs that extra oomph, these are the goodies to reach for.  But hurry – these little gems are only Deals until Monday, October 26 at 9:50am Mountain Time – that’s 5:50 am HST!
