Hello Stamping Friend,

The month of April is going to be filled with lots of excitement...saying goodbye to many favourites from our current Annual and Mini Catalogues, and welcoming exciting new products and colours in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue.  

Here are some questions I've been hearing, along with some answers and tips. 

 If you have additional questions feel free to reach out!

When can I see the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue?

The catalogue will be available for customers to view online and for orders on 2 May.

If you're in Australia and are not working with another demonstrator I would be happy to send you a hard copy of the catalogue in mid-April.

I'm too excited to wait that long...any way to speed that up?

Yes! Demonstrators get to see the new catalogue including all the new colours starting on the 30th of March. You can take advantage of one of the best crafting deals around and sign up to be a demonstrator right now!  Here's why that's a great idea:

• Your choice of $235 of product for $169 - and free shipping.
• Instant online access to the new catalogue starting 30 March.
•  Preorder access to a selection of new catalogue products starting 4 April.
• 20% discount on all orders through at least 30 September, which will include the new July - December Mini Catalogue. 
• Join a great creative community that loves papercrafting as much as you do!

Wait, what?  New colours?

Yes!  Just about every 5 years, Stampin' Up! does a colour refresh.  This means some colours will be removed, some will be returning, and there will be some brand-new colours, too. We'll also get a new set of 2023-2025 In Colors!  I'm so excited to see what's coming!

But I have lots of Designer Series Paper with the current colours...what should I do?

Take look at your stash and make sure you have cardstock, inks and embellishments that coordinate with your DSP...once the colours are retired they're gone!  

Tip: Ink Refills on retiring colours sell out quickly - make these a priority as you can use them with Blender Pens, Water Painters, or to fill uninked Stampin' Spots as you need them.

What else is changing with the new catalogue?

Price increases. There's no way to sugarcoat it. As with everything else in our lives these days, the cost of supplies is increasing for Stampin' Up!, too. The company has done a great job of swallowing those costs over the last year, but now has to raise prices a bit. Remember, we're paying for premium products with outstanding quality...which makes crafting fun and our projects look their best.

Tip: Use this advance warning to stock up on basics that you'll be sure to use over the next year, like Basic White cardstock, envelopes, and adhesives. 

I still have items on my wishlist from the current catalogues – can I still get them?

Absolutely! The Last Chance products list will be released on the 30th of March, too. You'll be able to see what is carrying over to the new catty, and what will be retiring. Watch your inbox - I'll send it out as soon as I can!

Tip: Be sure to prioritise the items on your wishlist that are also on the Last Chance list, and order right away. As with the colour products, they will only be available while supplies last.

Okay - how do I make sure I get everything I want?

Open an order in my Online Store and start putting items in your shopping bag.  You'll be able to edit it before finalising...but don't delay too long!

Or, join my team and put your must-haves in your Starter Kit.  I can help you maximise your kit's value and strategise for your next order...just give me a call at 0424 968 039.
