Convention prep and excitement

As we get closer to the end of the catalogue year, Stampin' Up! is getting ready to retire stamps and accessories from the 2014-2015 annual catalogue. Don't worry, though you will have the opportunity to order retiring products at discounted prices (up to 50 percent off retail) before they're gone. Start evaluating your current inventory and get ready as the retired list goes live on 21 April. I will be home after lunch as I am on canteen duty so will post the list then. You can pop into the online store earlier if you don't want to miss out on anything as once they are gone that's it. My suggestion create your list now, go to the store and create an account  so all you have to do on the day is sign in and shop.

Just prior to the new yearly catalogue coming out we have the Stampin' up! Convention one of the things we do are swaps. Swaps are a card from or 3D item made with all current product (however many you want in this case) that you make to swap with the other Demos so that you can get some inspiration. It is fun chatting to everyone about their sws and a great way to meet new people.

This bundle of flowers looks like a beautiful example of some DSP but it's not each flower has been stamped, punched and sponged. 

The stamp set this beauty is from is called Beautiful Bunch and they are stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla Cardstock. 

Choosing my colours was assisted by my Color Coach.

More photos to come so check back soon. 

Happy stamping.
