I am squealing with happiness that it is HERE – the NEW 2017-1018 Catalog! I know that you all have been waiting for today to come and yep…it is here and I hope that you dive right in and take it all in!
The NEW 2017-2018 Stampin’ Up! Catalog
Because of the “late start” with not being able to order…I thought – you could care less about a card today so I am just giving you a PEEK of tomorrows card and yep – many of you guessed it….the stamp set that I was just squealing about is This Little Piggy!
Many of you know that I am the proud Mama of a piggy and her name is Daisy Mae.
I adore her and even though she is not a pink piggy….(she is black with a wee bit of white) she is just BEAUTIFUL in my eyes! You have to admit, this is one cute stamp set and I bet when you see the image, you smile!
It is going to be a SUPER busy Stampin’ Up! day but a fun day!
Please feel free to email me if you need help and my fingers are crossed that today is a “smooth sailing kind of day” for the launch of the NEW catalog!
To kick off the new catalog, Stampin’ Up! is also offering a $35.00 bonus in Stampin’ Rewards for orders over $350. See the below chart and if you want a Hostess Code of your own….again, email me and I will be glad to get you set up! It is as easy as that!
I think that people imagine that this means you need to have a “in home” event…nope – not at all! Think about it this way…email your crafty friends and give them your hostess code…if the order is $350, 12% is $42 free + $35 = $77 free! I can help you place orders, it really is easy and their orders will be shipped directly to their home.
Each month I offer a goodie for people that order from me. Please use the Hostess Code below (the current on is always on my side bar) to make it easy for you! If your order is OVER $150 please do not use it as I want YOU to take advantage of hostess rewards but yep, I will send you the goodies for the month!
You know that I just ADORE Bakers Twine…and I am giddy about the new colors! This month, with a purchase of $75+ I will send you both the Flirty Flamingo Bakers Twine and the NEW Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals – 2 blue ribbon winners as I hope that we STICK together!
Let’s all have a GREAT DAY and have fun surfing and purchasing…..YIPPEE FOR JUNE 1st…I can here you squealing with joy!








My friend Ed moved to the state out in the boonies and his grandkids are so happy–now you can get a pet pig and we can visit! So when Ed shows photos of his house he says things like, “The pig’s house will go here.” No idea if he really will do it or not.
So you know what is sad… well, first off I forgot to bring my catalog to work to peruse and decide what I need to buy and secondly I spent $310 dollars just yesterday for a CT scan of my head. Think of all the stamp and goodies I could have gotten off of that!!! and just $40 more and I could have gotten even more fun things!!! The CT scan was less than 3 minutes long. I asked if I could stay longer so I could feel I got my money’s worth. No! and they wouldn’t even show me the picture. Hrmph!
Oh well, this week also saw the purchase of a new car battery ($180) and the cat’s allergy injection juice ($254) so probably it is better that I forgot my catalog and should probably keep on forgetting it for a couple more weeks.
I do want the piggies and the barnyard and the birthday delivery bundle and one each of every single ribbon and the in color markers and…………
Oh Judy, I hope the CT scan showed nothing was wrong and they quit it instead of bingo Houston we have a problem! I hate when they give no indication. So, I am hoping nothing is wrong. I had to word this carefully instead of saying that they found nothing – like being a total air head with no brain etc. I am sure all must be fine. The allergy injection serum was a huge help to one of our dogs. Murphy was allergic to beef, chicken, tuna, grass, trees, fleas you name it and once we started giving him allergy shots he could eat and enjoy his wonderful life!
Excitement is in the air! Love the new catalog…so much fun! Can’t wait to see the “piggy” card tomorrow. P Judy, I hope everything turns out ok for you….keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Last night I finally sprung for the Far East set (or what ever it is called) so I could get the paper and envelopes free. I wasn’t too keen on the set at first and finally just warmed up to it a week or two ago when I saw some examples that were different.
That reminds me…Susan for a Tuesday tips idea – how do you manage Pinterest boards. I have seen some people use one stamp set for a board or a theme say flowers and then again I have seen one board with a ton of photos on it and how she could find anything was beyond me. In other words I am trying to come out of the ice age and be able to find photos of ideas and keep them in the correct place. Obviously printing tons of tutorials didn’t work for me other than helping the stock of copy paper and computer ink go up.
Also, Nancy uses Evernote program, I think it was, for keeping track of what she has and it can work for finding a certain set that has a bird or whatever example. Do you use the same program? Maybe that would help me get a bit more organized too. Mike thinks just using Excel would do it.
I am so looking forward to the heart pig card tomorrow. I have a headache and just need a pick up of something fun and different. I tried playing with some paper and ink but gave up but I did use a whole sheet of old DSP in the process! It was even a 12×12 sheet of CTMH brand paper.
As far as my favorites in the catalog, not sure but I do love that little crate and that wood themed DSP is a natural for me. I used to use a wood embossing folder on everything at one time! Of course the pigs is a given for me. I really like the daisy suite and the coffee suite though I am not a coffee drinker but I have several coffee/tea sets and I love them! Enough boring dribble for you………
The piggies were the first item on my order 🙂 How can anyone not smile seeing happy pigs???
I’m glad it’s our turn to begin buying from the new catty. I haven’t made my list yet, but will have more time next week. My favorite is the daisy suite and I love some of the projects I’ve seen using that suite. I’m looking forward to seeing your piggie card tomorrow and probably many more to come. You are the only “pig” lady I know. Princess Judy, I hope all is well and things get better for you and your cat too. Sending crafty hugs to you.
