STAMPIN' UP! 2011-2012 IDEA & CATALOG!





Isn't Beautiful?
NEW 2011-2012 Stampin' Up!® Idea Book & Catalog!

IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE, IT'S HERE!!!

New In Colors (2011-2013)

We have 5 new In Color products, to add to the 5 we got last year (2010-2012). The new colors are Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, and Island Indigo. You can see a pretty representation of all the Color Collections on pages 2-3 of the new catalog! This year we not only have ink pads, markers, patterned paper, and ribbon to coordinate--we also have 2011-2012 In Color Designer Printed Brads (see p.199)

My Digital Studio Collection Content DVDs

This is super, duper cool--you can choose from 4 bundled content DVDs, which contain digital art at over a 10% discount from the individual download prices! This is great news for Hostesses whose guests would like to purchase digital product, as the sales of these physical products will count towards sales totals.




New Hostess Benefits Program

Speaking of Hostesses, this catalog marks the beginning of a new Hostess Benefits program where you purely get Hostess Dollars to spend on ANY product in current catalogs. There is a special Hostess section at the front of the catalog Hostesses can shop, with specially-priced exclusive products, which have been priced to give you a huge discounts. But, if you don't like any of those products, buy whatever you want with your Hostess Dollars! And, once your sales total reaches $400, you start earning your choice of any catalog item at 50% OFF, in addition to your Hostess Dollars. Check out page 9 of the new catalog for a handy chart, and see pages 10-15 for the exclusive Hostess product.

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The stamp set for this fundraiser this year is called Turtle & Co., and it's got the cutest little frog I've seen in a long time! Stampin' Up! donates $2 to RMHC for the purchase of each of these stamp sets.

Product Suites

There are 14 Product Suites throughout the catalog, containing coordinating product to help you get a designer look to your projects. These collections are based on colors from each of the 13 Designer Series Paper packages, and 1 of the Specialty Designer Series Paper packages in the new catalog. You're sure to find at least one that will suit your tastes!

Stamps, Stamps, and more Stamps!

Of course, there are tons of new stamp sets that I just LOVE, but I'm going to feature those throughout the catalog year. I do want to point out, though, that we do have a few new products to augment the clear-mount stamp product line. There is a Clear Block Cleaning Cloth, some repositionable vinyl Guides you can get to use on your clear blocks, and some Clear-Mount Cling Foam you can use if you want to re-mount some of your own stamps!

Designer Fabric

Our fabric line has expanded to include several designs which coordinate with Designer Series Papers in the new catalog, and a few previous designs have returned. Keep an eye out for the 2011 Holiday Mini catalog debuting in September, as I believe we will be getting some new Designer Buttons which will be great to use with these fabrics!

Embellishments

I have to point these out...we have the CUTEST little Mini Clothespins coming into our product line (see page 198). And you'll find some new Mini Brads on page 199. Bigger is not always better :-)

Miscellaneous Supplies and Accessories

I have to point out the new Cherry Cobbler Embossing Powder on page 201--this will be GREAT for all your holiday projects! I love Cherry Cobbler, both the food, and the color.

Punches/Dies

Big shout out here for the Lace Ribbon Border punch...you'll find it on page 211 in the new catalog. WOW, tons of cool possibilities with this one. You can make border strips, or cut out the little lace medallions and use them separately. And, the Petite Pennants Builder punch is a must-have for small projects, and you can use the Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die for larger projects. This one isn't really a punch or die, but the Designer Frames Embossing Folder set on page 218 will make some absolutely fabulous highlights or embossed medallions on your projects! There's also a sweet little Blossom Box Bigz L Die and a Petite Pocket Bigz XL Die, which will be going on my first catalog order today.



Décor Elements and Stencils

By the way, the Décor Elements and Stencils have been moved into the Idea Book & Catalog, so you'll find all those on pages 227-234. This will be super convenient, so you can view them in the same book as coordinating product.
