Stamping with Michelle

The Retiring Lists Have Been Released

The retiring lists for the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog as well as the January-April catalog have been released.  As I suspected, among other things, we are having another color refresh.  The following eleven colors are retiring:

• Mango Melody
• Bermuda Bay
• Pacific Point
• Rich Razzleberry
• Merry Merlot
• Soft Suede
• Sahara Sand
• Blushing Bride
• So Saffron
• Pear Pizzazz
• Mint Macaron

Taking their place, we will have four brand new colors as well as seven returning favorites, and I can't wait to share these colors with you!  

 

For now, however, I have the retiring lists.  You can view the annual catalog retiring list here and the January-April retiring list here.  While you certainly can place orders for these products now, beginning on April 4, many of these products will be available on sale with discounts of up to 60% off.  That said, products are only available while supplies last and when they are gone, they are gone.  If there is anything you absolutely want, particularly in any of the retiring colors, I would urge you to order sooner rather than later.

Finally, when you place an order on my website of at least $30 in the month of March using hostess code ZPPZAK3J  I will send you a card kit containing the supplies to make these four cards that we created at my last card class.  I will also email you copies of the samples along with supply lists.

Happy stamping!

Happy 25 Years to me!

In June, I celebrated 25 years a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  I can't even believe that it has been that long.  My life is very different now then it was twenty-five years ago.  When I was invited to my first Stampin' Up! party, I was immediately drawn to rubber stamping.  I already had lots of other creative pursuits, including cross-stitching and knitting, but I loved the immediacy of how I could have a finished result in one sitting!  I decided that if I was going to be buying the products, I might as well get the discount for myself.

I also hadn't been married very long and I knew that my husband and I would be starting a family.  I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and I figured this would be something good to get me out of the house once my kids were born.  I got pregnant with my oldest son a few months after I became a demonstrator.  In June, just as I celebrated my twenty-fifth anniversary, my youngest son graduated from high school!

Once I began sharing my love of stamping and having parties, my business sense kicked in and I began to kick it into high gear.  I have done so many things and met so many great people, all because of my Stampin' Up! business. And yet, the great thing is that my business has been able to ebb and flow with my life.  I went back to work outside of the home eight years ago and then shortly after began to pursue a bachelors and then a masters degree.  I was able to shift the focus of my business to meet my needs and it has been great.

Whether you want to enjoy the discount or perhaps earn a little extra income, I'd love to have you join my team.  During Saleabration, you can add the Making Plans Collection to your starter kit for free.  Email me for more information.

When you place an order on my website in the month of July using hostess code S3DF3ZX7 I will send you my Season of Chic tutorial for free.  If your order is over $150, please don't use the hostess code so you can keep the Stampin' Rewards for yourself.  I will send you the tutorial automatically.
