Aviary!

Here's another great set that's retiring!  Yikes! That's a scrap of cardstock that's folded over in faux ribbon pleats.

I love this Designer Series Paper and this color combination!  Good thing Pool Party is sticking around.  It looks great with Summer Starfruit and Soft Suede.

It's been an eventful week.  As promised, here's our weekly summary:
(1) Did you see the Retiring Accessories and stamp list?
ACCESSORIES
STAMPS

In addition, with the release of the retired list, some of you may be wondering which Christmas stamps will still be available. Don't cry or pout, we've gotcha covered!

• Evergreen Stamp Set (available in French)

• Greetings of the Season Stamp Set (available in French)

• Jewish Celebrations Stamp Set

• More Merry Messages Stamp Set (available in French)

• Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set

• Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set (available in French and Spanish)

Can you handle more good news? These sets will still be available during the 2013-2014 catalog year. They will not be featured in the catalog, but will be available in the Online Store and OEX. 

(2) Thinking of joining my team?  You can get even more product ($155 worth) for your $99 investment PLUS you can instantly get access to view the 2013-2014 catalog and put items from the Sneak Peek! You personally hand pick your product; anything you choose.  As demonstrators, we purchase new stuff early so I have samples for you ahead of time.  Did you know that?  It's great being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  

(3) Want a sneak peek of something NEW?  Check out this!  (Yep, I got to see this in Baltimore!)  Want ANOTHER sneak peek?  This one you can OWN now.  A Round Array is an awesome set that coordinates with our circle and scallop punches!  And I love coordination!  I used this set for my Baltimore Regional Swaps.  

(4) Sent with Love bundle will not be available after April 30th!  Don't delay placing your order!   

(5) C-U-T-E single stamps will be around a few more months! 

(6) Introducing This and That!  It can be a journal, a scrappy book, a brag book.  The sky is the limit with this trendy kit. I just received mine and I can't wait to put it to use!  Thru April 30th you can save 15% when you purchase the bundle. PS, the heavy bound book is my favorite, closely followed by the washi tape.  :)

(9) Photopolymer stamps!

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 

• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 

• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.

• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time. 

• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.

Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.  

All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.

They are clearly a great choice.
