Hi all! I’m back from Raleigh, NC, where a few thousand demonstrators got together to see the upcoming new Annual catalog! Now that I’m home, I need to really sit through it and look at everything. I see SU did listen to us about some suggestions since the last annual catalog. There is an “N” next to all the new items, darker type,
more descriptions and large photos of designer papers.
The new catalog will be mailed out in mid-late April and begins May 6th!
If you have ordered from me in the last 6 months, I’ll automagically send you one. If your address has changed since last year, be sure I have it!
September 2024 marked my 25th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! It’s hard to believe—it feels like only a decade ago. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed meeting so many wonderful stampers and fellow demonstrators, creating great memories along the way. A little more wear and tear on this stamping body but I”m still stampin’!
It’s always exciting to see the new In Colors that SU releases each year! These fashion colors will be around 2025-2027. You might recognize a returning color, Strawberry Slush, the hot rose color in the 4th column!
The Cloud Cover color reminds me of Bordering Blue, for those that have been for over 20 years. Sadly the ink pad was not ready for our preorder, it didn’t match to the paper as well as it should have, so they are fixing it.
The yellow is called Darling Duckling, a mashup of Hello Honey and Summer starfruit maybe?
The very dark blue is my favorite! Darker than our Night of Navy and called Secret Sea.
The orangy color is lighter than pumpkin pie, darker than grapefruit. It’s called Timid Tiger. (and I keep calling it Tony Tiger)
We had prizes and stamping and lots of laughs!
( love the Peaceful View stamp set!)
LOTS of new things coming! Some will be in the annual catalog, some will be online and not in print.
Do you love birds? This set is double sided, one side solid for stamping the shadow and the other side line art.
Who remembers Washi tape? How about WIDE washi that matches dies?
I’m getting some fun ideas in my head for these….
Rebecca Santos demonstrated an really fun bundle called Notes & Totes!
Emily Kimmey presented a BIG bundle!
The Party Banner dies are SO big – the largest is 7″ x 5-3/8″ and there are 20 dies in the set!
There is also a BIG alphabet die set, the letters are almost 3″ tall. I think those that like to make banners for occasions but do not have an e-cutter, this will be great.
Here are a few swaps I liked from the board!
Getting together with my team, seeing old friends and making new friends is always the BEST part!
I’ll be back next weekend for a video project!
