Yes, May already! I can not believe it. I will explain my absence at the end of my post today. So sorry for being AWOL.
Let’s get started with a very important factor that comes in May and is already LIVE! What is it? Of course it is the NEW ANNUAL CATALOG! Woo Hoo! This 2024-25 catalog is set up a bit different. Some of us oldies were so used to the way the past catalogs were set up, it took a little time getting used to. I just kept thumbing through it and really agree that it is a much easier way to look at things. It is not only geared toward the new stamper, but gives great examples for new and current demonstrators to be able to CASE (copy and share everything) and present to their customers. If you need a catalog or a demonstrator please contact me (mbshedoudy@gmail.com) and you will have the catalog in your hand soon and I will be happy to give you the perks of becoming a demonstrator.
Want to become a demonstrator?
It is the perfect month to join my team. From May 1 through May31, new demonstrators will receive the following products in their Starter Kit at no additional cost:
2024–2026 In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad Bundle
2024–2026 In Color 8-1/2″ x 11″ (21.6 x 27.9 cm) Cardstock
2024–2026 In Color 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper
2024–2026 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers
In addition to the In Color products, new demonstrators will pick $125 USD worth of products of their choice. They will also receive free business supplies with their order and free shipping. Not to mention all the fun that comes with being a part of our wonderful crafting community.
When you join as a new demonstrator, all In Color products will be automatically added to your Starter Kit.
Now I bet you are wondering what are In Colors? Well every year Stampin’ Up! comes out with “New In Colors”. 5 different colors are produced and they offer them in Ink Pads, Markers, Designer Series Paper (DSP), and Cardstock. Sometimes they offer our Stampin’ Blends also. Here are the 24-25 In Colors…1st on flyer is SUMMER SPLASH, then PEACH PIE, PETUNIA POP, SHY SHAMROCK and PRETTY IN PINK. Bright, vibrant colors to have fun with.
NEW KITS
We have new kits available now! See them all here! Lots of fun to see.
PAPER PUMPKIN
Also there is the infamous Paper Pumpkin! What is it? A monthly “kit” that is complete with stamp, usually the stamping block, mini ink pad and everything you need to make cards or specialty products. Read all about it here! It is a delightful way to share with others at a party.
ONLINE EXCLUSIVES
What are “ONLINE EXCLUSIVES”? These are card kits, fun kits, stamps, dies, papers are offered only on these pages and are not in the catalog! They are “exclusive”. When you look over them, check for the “bundles” (a stamp and die or punch). These are priced 10% less then if you order the stamp and die or punch separately. Great deal! Hereare the offerings.
Well, now to sort of explain my absence. Starting in January, I wasn’t feeling well – shortness of breath, tired, weak. So, I saw my primary doctor and had blood tests, etc. From those results, he referred me for more extensive tests (which I am still going through). I am feeling fine now, but I also dealt with the passing of two people in February and March whom I was close to. This made such an impact on my life, their passing hit me hard. I am just now starting to be able to deal with that and my health issues. Getting back on track now though and anxious to spread the word about Stampin’ Up!, their products and ideas and other projects I am getting into. So I hope you will accept my sincerest apology and let’s start crafting!

So if you have discovered the way to order is a bit different now. Stampin’ Up! has made it more user friendly for you the customer to look and order. If you are having trouble figuring out how to get in to the ordering site, I can help you along. My best advice is to go to Stampinup.com. You sign in as usual, but you will see a different page front. In the upper left hand corner, the is the “hamburger” symbol – the 3 lines. Click on that and it will give you a complete menu to look at with the different categories via pictures that are also listed below. My suggestion is to click on “View All”. There you will find everything…including some great “branded merchandise”. Beware, there are 35 pages of goodness, so if you are looking for a stamp, a kit, or paper pumpkin, click on those individual items. It can be overwhelming, but like I said, if you are confused, just reach out to me to help.
I have a monthly gathering that I call my Sunday Craftin’ Gals Gathering. Here are just a few of the pictures of some of my gals that attend. We usually do at least two card projects and sometimes more. We have a potluck every time and we laugh, craft, eat and just have a great time together. If you are local in San Diego, CA and would like to come, please email me at mbshedoudy@gmail.com and let me know you would like to join us.
Here are the two cards we made…I would like to thank Mary Deatherage and Mary Fish for samples that I CASE’d. Thank You both!
Until next time…
Be kind to one another and make time for Creating With Paper.
