The Silver Stamper

                HI, STAMPERS!      They're almost live - the 2019 Stampin' Up!® Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.  Have you looked through your catalogs, yet?  How many times?  ;-)  Did you receive yours in the mail?  If you are one of my customers and you did not, let me know and I will get it them to you.     I had planned to share some video tutorials with you for some of the new products, but I am unable to get the links to work.  I'm sure some of you have seen the tutorials linked on Patty Bennett's blog, so maybe those demos who attended this year's On Stage were given early access.  Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to share them until January 3, although I am able to watch them.  In fact, all of the product videos from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration will be available to you on January 3 at youtube.com/stampinup .

Happy New Year, Stampers!      Just a reminder that there are still lots of items drastically reduced in the Year-End Closeout, Retiring Favorites, Discounted and Clearance Rack.  Take another look through your Holiday Catalog and just click the image above to get to my DBWS. For example, we all loved the many ideas online for the Country Home stamp set(p.43) and cards we created at stamp camp.  I don't see it listed below, so, I would guess that as of January 3, it is gone.      T he First Frost stamp set and Frosted Bouquet Framelits are listed separately  with the carryovers below. This means they will not be offered in carryover as a 10% off bundle.  So, if you want the bundle at 10% off, you need to order it now.  Want this stunning Frosted Floral Specialty DSP that coordinates with the First Frost and Bundle?  It is for sale in the Year-End Closeout, so, you'd best order it now, too!  I think you get the picture.       Here are some of our favorites that wi
