News from Stampin' Up!

Big news!  Stampin' Up! had several announcements to us demonstrators yesterday.  You will see some changes coming with the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  I have been with Stampin' Up! for 14 years and everything they do, they have good reason ... putting the demonstrators and customers as their top priority.  An example of this is the photopolymer stamps.  Several years ago, many  were wanting SU to make photopolymer stamps like other companies had.  SU did their research and did not bring them out until they could make sure the clear stamps would not yellow or crack like other companies product did.  Change can be good!   I ask that you think like this - 10 years ago you had a flip phone.  When the better smart phones came out, maybe you didn't jump at the chance to get a new one but eventually you did because it was made better.  So, think of it that way!

I want to let you in on some of the changes coming.

• Prices are going up 25% on many items with the new Annual Catalog (cardstock, envelopes, etc.)
• The SU Trimmer is being discounted along with the scoring and cutting blades.  They will be coming out with a replacement cutter at a later date.  Now is the time to buy the blades and accessories you need for your trimmer.  The blades will be in stock sporadically over the next six months.  We have had issues with a faulty batch of blades and despite best attempts, Stampin' Up! has made the decision to move away from the current manufacturer.  (The same with the Big Shot accessories.)
• The Big Shot AND accessories are being discontinued.  They will be replaced at an unknown future date.  However, the dies and embossing folders will continue in the new catalog.
• The 2017-2019 In Colors are retiring.
• The Retirement List will be out on April 15th.

I know it is a lot to digest but I would recommend you get the 2017-19 In Color products quickly.  These usually disappear quickly.  Also, consider purchasing the blades for the trimmer (if you have one of these) as well as accessories for the Big Shot.

Remember - Stampin' Up! is tops in innovations and these changes will be great.
