Hello Stamping Friends!

I'm back!  At least I'm back blogging.  Or at least I'm back working on my blogs.  Ok. Let's just say I'm not gone and leave it at that for now. ;)

The BIG news is:

** The 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalog goes LIVE at 2:00PM Eastern time today! **

New colors, exciting exclusive accessories and tools, great stamp sets, and tons more!

If you're in the Gorham area, I'm hosting an Open House to kick off the new catalog. If you place an order, you'll get to select retiring products from my stash to take home with you for free, plus there will be prizes, demonstrations, snacks and some new products to try.  It's definitely worth stopping in! Everyone is welcome!

OPEN HOUSE - tonight & tomorrow

Friday, May 31, 4pm-8pm

Saturday, June 1, 9am-1pm

at Carolyn's House

Email me if you need directions: ccsusi@maine.rr.com

Go to my website www.carolynsusi.stampinup.net and select Products then Catalogs to view the new catalog any time after 2pm...and of course, you can just click on shop now to place your order for both new and retiring products.  YES, retiring products are being held over for the weekend (through June 3) so we can order those at the same time, while supplies last. Woo hoo!

Meanwhile, I'm switching my Blog over to this new name, MyStampinOasis.  It matches my Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/MyStampinOasis). Check it out if you haven't already. That's the best place to get the latest news first, by the way.

I'll be working on getting the new blog up and running, with all the links and bells and whistles, once this new catalog release calms down.  I've got high school graduation and 2 sports playoffs over the next couple of weeks too, so it could be awhile...

Thanks for hanging on for me.  Please come back and check out www.Mystampinoasis.com !

In the meantime:

GO to my Stampin' Up Website to check out the New Products, 25% off greetings special and other fun stuff!

I've got to get back to preparing for tonight's Open House  now.  Hope to see you soon!

By now, you probably have heard that we're in the midst of a Free Shipping Frenzy on all Stampin' Up! orders.  But it ends Monday so get moving! 

In addition, Stampin' Up! announced that we are Refreshing our Colors! Some old favorites are coming back, a new shade of gray ( not that kind, silly!) is joining our neutrals collection, and 10 colors are being discontinued.

Although the collections won't be officially here until the new catalog (June 1), the retiring colors are only available while supplies last.  Get your ink refills, ink pads, cardstock and accessories now  before they sell out, and take advantage of the free shipping for big savings!

Place your order at my online store now!  Include the hostess code "3N9G4PT4" when you're checking out and you'll be entered to win a share of the hostess rewards too! 

But if you're ordering over $150 of product on your own, leave out my  hostess code because you'll earn hostess rewards of you're own!

Let me know if you have questions!  Happy Shopping! (Free shipping ALWAYS makes shopping happy!!)

You get $57 of free product when you you purchase the new demonstrator Starter Kit...but not for long, because this deal is part of Saleabration and it ends at midnight Friday.  For just $99, choose up to $156 worth of any catalog and mini catalog product that you would like! And shipping is free!

Yes, it's the Stampin' Up! new demonstrator Starter kit and now's the perfect opportunity to join a great group of ladies who all have that passion for Stampin' Up! products and great crafting.  Instant friends!  Instant discount! Instant career (if you want one).  All for just $99 + tax.

Ready to give it a shot?  Go to my Stampin' Up! website (www.carolynsusi.stampinup.net) and click on "join now" to start your shopping spree.  Still have questions or would rather sign up in person, shoot me an email (ccsusi@Maine.rr.com) or give me a call (207-839-7092) and I'd be happy to help you learn more.

But we only have until midnight Friday (3/22) to get that extra 25% in your starter kit so if you're ready, we need to get it done. 

Not ready yet? Don't feel pressured...it's always a good time to join Stampin' Up! and the kit is always  a good value.  Whenever it's right for you is the right time to join my team.  I'm not going anywhere!  (Except hopefully that next incentive trip! LOL!)  Contact me any time to learn more.

In the meantime, you should scoop up those final exclusive Saleabration free products with your regular product purchase before it's too late!  Shop now at my online store.

Have a great weekend!

I love secrets, especially when it's ok to share them!  We can't wait to show you some of the new products from the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog (available in JUNE!)  Here's a sneak peek at the "A Round Array" Stamp set - and you can get it now!

Spring Surprise Promotion

From March 15 through May 30, we’ve bundled it with the coordinating 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch that was introduced in the 2013 spring catalog.

Bundle of Stamp set & Punch  #133899  $23.95

Already have the punch? Then just get the stamp set:

Bundle of Love Stamp Set: #129090  $14.95

Although this set will be available in both wood and clear-mount in the annual catalog later, this stamp set is only available in clear mount right now.  You'll need an acrylic block to go with it if you don't already have one. 

Acrylic block size C (2" x 2 1/4") is my "go-to" block size #118486 $6.95 and a great size to order if you're only getting one block, in my opinion.

Place your order now, or anytime, at my online store, www.carolynsusi.stampinup.net . 

Saleabration ends next week, but it's not too late to get your free Saleabration product with each $50 product order.  Grab some cardstock and adhesive and whatever else you've been needing while your shopping online to boost your order and get your FREE saleabration products before they are gone for good!

Have a great weekend and Happy Stamping!
