5 Colors Getting Ready to Say Goodbye |
We will soon be saying goodbye to these 2014-16 colors and hello to a new 5. If you want to continue to use any of these colors & their coordinating products, I suggest stocking up on them sooner than later. History has proven that they will run out before their retirement date: Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist, Lost Lagoon & Mossy Meadow. Products available: Ink pads, ink refills, card stock,
markers, striped cotton ribbon and washi tape. Link to products.

Last Chance for Weekly Deals |
Stampin' Up has just announced that the "Weekly Deals" specials will be going away and replaced with a less frequent, but better promotion "Special Offers" with more items and more discounts (occurring every few months). Yay Discounts!
In order to give "Weekly Deals" a proper goodbye, Stampin' Up! has increased the amount of 5 items to 15 this
week. Announcements of new products will be announced each Tuesday until April 18 (and I'm guessing each week will have fantastic sale items). You can click HERE to see this week's Weekly Deals (and remember, they are good Tuesday through Monday).

Shannon West, from Stampin' Up!, created a "I'm bringing birthdays back" movement after discovering that her friends weren't mailing birthday cards anymore, since it was easier to wish them a happy birthday on facebook. She didn't realize what a movement this would become. She carved her own stamp to use on all the birthday cards she was mailing and Stampin' Up! rallied behind her and produced a stamp for all of us
to use. You can read more about Shannon's story HERE. Interested in joining her in the birthday movement and using the stamp? You can purchase it HERE for $12.

Do your clear stamps sometimes fall off your acrylic blocks? Sometimes that happens to me, the stamp falls off the block and smudges my paper. Here is an easy and quick tip that will make your clear stamps a little more sticky. Take your 2-way glue pen and apply glue to the top of the clear stamp. Let it dry (will dry clear). You will be left with a nice tackiness that will adhere to the acrylic block beautifully. This tackiness should last a long time and when it does wears off, just repeat the glue. And don't forget to wash your blocks with soap & water!
