I'm really excited about the new catalog starting Monday at noon. There are fabulous new accessories, including Fairy-Tale sticky die cuts for kids projects and scrapbook pages, Wonderful new specialty papers, with texture, awesome new designer papers, new Big Shot dies, exclusive and not exclusive both, new scrappin kits, New Card Elements kits, making it easy for the Non-stamper to creat pretty handmade cards without a lot of cash outlay or major design dilemmas.

Great new ribbons too. Ribbon club...start your engines....Let me know if you want to join to get shares of all the new faboo ribbons!

Quick, before the price goes up!

Besides some increases in stamp pricing for the next new catalog ....there were some other things that have increased in price....so if there is something you have been eyeing, please let me know BEFORE Saturday night, sunday morning, so I can place the last order from this catalog on Sunday

 

Listed below is the current price and the new price:

individual classic inks $5.25 -> $5.95
classic ink refills $2.75 -> $2.95
embossing buddy $4.95 -> $5.95
heat tool $26.95 -> $29.95
6x6 page protectors (post or ring) $5.95 -> $6.95
12x12 page protectors (post or ring) $9.95 -> $10.95
stamp 'n scrub $14.95 -> $16.95
stamp 'n scrub replacement pads $8.50 -> $9.50
stampin' mist $3.95 -> $4.50
stampin' mist refill $8.95 -> $9.50
adhesive remover $1.95 -> $3.50

 

The price increase on stamp sets reflects the increase due to the fact that ALL stamp sets will now be die cut, eliminating the need for trimming your own stamps..so if there is something you want at the cheaper price $1-3 less, that is not retiring, place your order with me before it's too late! sometimes though, it's worth the extra couple dollars to not have to cut it out yourself, such as with an alphabet set or a larger many pieces set. :)

 

talk soon, more new catalog stuff to come.....and soon as I find out the details, in Feb you will be able to order online at my site and get a FREE catalog. (but I still have the ones I already bought at $5 each (with $5 off your first $30+ order!--so essentially it's free too)
