Nearly time to say goodbye

I am always sad to say goodbye to our catalogues. Too many things that I still want. Have you got any favourites? If you have, then get in quick, I am putting in an order very soon and this will probably be my last order before everything retires.

These are a few things that are now discounted and will soon be gone.

I am adding the retiring list again, just in case you have some must haves.
If you want to order any of these items you may use my Online store and they will get shipped straight to you, don't forget to use the December Host code so I can send you a bonus gift for ordering Online

My team meets the challenge

Very soon we will be launching the new 2016-17 catalogue.

My little team shared some of the highlights of this new catalogue last week. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is getting to see and play with the products before they are released to the public. Some of the team managed to attend our OnStage event on the Gold Coast, this was a one day event to show us what to expect to find in the new catalogue and to get our hands on some of them.

Leisha one of my new Team members was the first to win a stamp set. Do you think she is excited?

Actually I came home with 3 new stamp sets and the new In Colour Write Markers, plus lots of card samples.

I didn't want the rest of the team to miss out on some of the excitement and fun of a new catalogue that we had on the Gold Coast. So we had our team meeting while watching the On Line show and playing with some of the new products. I set up the studio to replicate a mini event, putting up some of the samples and items that I had received on the day.

I also had to set up a bed for Kerry as she had a bad accident and couldn't sit for too long. Looked so cosy, I wished it could stay.

In preparation for the meeting I gave them all a challenge. We have just finished Sale-a-Bration and some of the Free stamp sets are gorgeous. The challenge was for them to make a card using one of their favourites. This is what they came up with.

Leisha Ward created these lovely cards

Kerry Kelly has a way with Aqua painters.

Sarina Burke my newest team member used the Bokeh technique for her challenge.

 

I am so thrilled with how the event turned out.We oohed and ahhed over the new catalogue and played around with the products that I had won.

And many more retiring

Not long now before everything on the retirement list will be no longer available. So here are a few more products that I love and if you want them. get in quick.

And Many More Stamp set

Love this stamp set and the variety of fonts!  It is $35.25 (down from $47!) in clear mount or $49.50 (down from $66) in wood mount!

At our charity event last week, we popped in gorgeous silver envelope liners that came with the kit. However if you don't have a kit then why not grab these framelits and make your own. Jazz up your envelopes with the Envelope Liner Framelits $41 with coordinating Designer Series Paper. These are now very low in inventory.

I am putting in a order tomorrow so if anyone needs anything from the Retiring list or from the Clearance rack, please email me or call and I shall add it to my order.

Also just a reminder that there is only till the 31st May till the old catalogue is gone. June 1 starts a new catalogue year.

More from the retirement list

So is there anything you have spotted yet? I found a few things that I needed!

Do you remember the Charity Christmas Card Workshop the year before last? We used the Photopolymer set Festival of Trees.  It has actually been reduced from $28 down to  $23.80. 

.

I have these and love cutting them out 2 or 3 times and then gluing them together, it makes them 3d without trying to raise them with dimensionals.  These are $25.

Why on earth are these little envelopes retiring? I make a lot of 3x3 gift cards and these are such good quality envelopes, I use them all the time.  Looks like I'll have to bring out the Envelope Punch board and make my own. You get 40 envelopes for $13.25

A few of my favourites

Rightio did you all see that the retirement list is up? Yup and guess what, 3 of the In Colour ink refills are now GONE. Good gracious people waste no time in grabbing a bargain or just stocking up.
Every few days I shall post a few products to show you what is going. BUT and this is a big but, if you have been holding out on something and it is on the list, order it now please, it is all being snapped up so quickly. Some of my favourites are being retired and I must admit I had a little panic, then I remembered there is a new Catalogue coming and it is lovely.

So let's jump in with my favourite sentiment that is retiring (no I am not getting rid of mine), Sassy Salutations what a beaut set in both clear $32 and wood mount $42!

I use one of these punches every day, especially the flower. At Christmas time the star gets a real work out and the heart just seems to be a perfect size for lots of occasions.
$30 and already on low inventory eek.

Everyone that knows me, knows I like to find more uses than just what a punch is designed for. The Build a Bird Punch selling for $31 is one that I make leaves out of the wings and feathers for owls, the list goes on.

So there we area couple of my own items that I shall be keeping forever now that I can no longer replace them.

Retiring products - getting ready for the new Catoalogue

Each year we need to say goodbye to a few of our favoutite products to make way for new ones. Stampin' Up! send us a retirement list of all the products that are retiring and also discount many of the over stocked items. This is good for us and you as it means stocking up on favourites before they go for good.

• Here is the link to the retirement list for all the retiring stamp sets

• Here is the link for the retirement list for everything else

 Why does this have to happen? 
At the end of each catalogue, some items have to be discontinued to make way for yummy new stuff. Our new catalogue the 2016-17 annual catalogue will still have some of your favourites, no not everything goes, phew thank goodness, what would I do without Gorgeous Grunge???

However it is a necessary process so take a look at the list and if your favourite is retiring then grab it quickly as all products on the list are only available while supplies last, even though the official retirement date is the 31st May last day of catalogue, they usually don't last that long.

If you would like to have a class with friends on retiring products/stamps  then let me know and we can organise a date. You know me I love to play, insert big grin.

Of course the first thing that is likely to go is the In colour ink refills, card stock, matching DSP, ribbon and other matching embellishments.

What will I do with my retired products?
- share it with my Bluecare residents and Ronald McDonald House people.
- enjoy making my own personal projects.
- have a charity event using the products
- use for door prizes, giveaways at the above events
So as you can see, life goes on and good times can be had using all the retirement goodies, so don't wait.
