May is shaping up to be full of exciting new craft supplies  with two great limited time kits on offer.

Tomorrow (May 1st) is the launch for the Everything Is Rosy Kit.

The kit is $139 and includes all the things listed above.  I just love the colours - Melon Mambo, Night Of Navy and Rose Gold.  How lovely does that rose gold shimmer paint look.

All you need to add is your imagination.  If that is feeling a little tired (I hear you!!!) then here's some projects for inspiration.  

Here's a closer look at the stamp set included.  There's coordinating dies too.

Love the look of these products - I'd recommend heading over to my online store tomorrow if you're keen.  I have a hunch this may sell out fast.  

Another kit coming on 15th May is the Paper Pumpkin Hugs From Shelli Kit.  This one will be $37 and if I was choosing for a sweepstakes I'd take 'sell out on the first day' as my prediction for this one.  So mark the diary for 15th May and jump online first thing to order if you're keen.  

The Shelli kit from Paper Pumpkin includes the following:

• An exclusive stamp set not available anywhere else
• One Classic Stampin’ Spot® from our Classic ink collection
• Paper and crafting materials to create 12 cards (3 cards of 4 unique designs)
• 12 exclusive, coordinating envelopes
• Adhesives and embellishments for all 12 cards

Coordinating Stampin’ Up! colours: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla

You'll need a D block for this one - available separately if you don't have one on hand of this or similar size.

The exact contents are a surprise but Shelli describes the kit as ‘A touch of earthy and elegant spring with lots of layers and texture.’ And remember, everything in the Hugs from Shelli kit is pre-cut and ready to go. 

Here's one of the 4 designs from the kit.

Plus a great swag of other things.  Lots of framelits and embellishments.  

Happy browsing!  

We're off to see Avengers Endgame this afternoon - we're all big Marvel nerds so we're rather excited.  

Take care,  Sue

It is that time of year - the retiring list is out.  These are the products that are not going to be in our new annual catalogue on 4th June.  From now til 3rd June they'll be available while stocks last. 

Every year there are things that sell out quickly so have a squiz through the list to see if there's anything you need before its gone.  

You'll find the stamps here:    Last Chance Stamps 

A little note about the stamp sets list - for some sets the wood mount and clear mount versions are retiring but it will be available in the new annual in cling mount format.  Some on the list are going going will be gone.  I think SU are working on an update to the list that will clarify which is which but in the meantime let me know if you have any questions about a particular set.  

The bundles are here:  Last Chance Bundles

(Remember for bundles sometimes the whole bundle is retiring, for others the products will still be available separately but not at the discounted bundle price.)  

Everything else is here:   Everything Else List

Host code is  W7SDJFVY   Pop that on if you're ordering online.  

Lots of things there so have a really good look through the lists.  Here's a few that I'll particularly miss .....

We've been using these Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets a lot in class this year with any fiddly dies. Stock up class regulars, and anyone else who loves intricate dies  - they're on the retiring list.

The patterned paper (DSP) retires every year but I'll especially miss these lovely wood grain sheets.  Very versatile.  

We are bidding farewell to the Lovely As A Tree stamp set after many many years in our range.  

NEW STAMPIN' UP! CATALOGUE

Of course all of this retiring of products is to make way for new things.  

Our new catalogue officially starts on June 4th so a bit of a way off yet. 

I'll be using our catalogue mailer to send mine out - they'll arrive some time in May.  

Place an order this year to qualify for your complimentary catalogue.  

(If you have a different regular demonstrator - please get in touch with her to arrange your catalogue.)  

Well - happy list browsing everyone.  

Don't forget the WHILE STOCKS LAST BIT.  Order online for quick and easy, or phone/email details through if you'd prefer. 

Happy stamping.

Cheers, Sue
