Last Chance Lists!
The Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog and the January – April 2024 Mini Catalog (Spring Mini) will soon be retiring. Some products will carry over to the new Annual Catalog, which I always like so I get to use some stamp sets some more.
Starting TODAY, April 9th you will be able to get discounts on select products. There are only a few in the Spring Mini and lots more in the Annual Catalog List. Keep in mind that ALL Bundles will be retired, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the components of that Bundle won’t still be carried. They just break up the old Bundles and make Bundles of new products. So a Bundle might be retiring, but maybe you can still buy the stamp set or dies or punch or whatever in the new catalog separately. You will just miss out on the 10% discount on a Bundle if you don’t buy one you want before the new catalog goes into effect.

I’ll leave you with that today!

It’s That Time Again!
It’s impossible to believe we are at this point in the year! Time flies when we are having fun stamping and savoring our Stampin’ Up! catalogs! But it is time for a new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog (almost!) and the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog (Spring Mini) is getting close to going out. The Stampin’ Up! Annual 2023-2024 Catalog will retire April 30, 2024 and the Spring Mini as well!
That means that Stampin’ Up! will release the Last Chance Lists for both catalogs today at 1:00 PM MT (Stampin’ Up! time!). Demonstrators will be able to view the upcoming Annual Catalog online today also, so the Stampin’ Up! website will be buzzing with excitement!
3:00 PM Eastern Time
2:00 PM Central Time
1:00 PM Mountain Time
Noon Pacific Time
When I get the Last Chance Lists I will post them here. Hang on! Products will be available while supplies last once these lists hit the streets! You can order in the morning if you want to beat the rush and get whatever you’ve got to have before the crowd rushes in!
In most years, today, February 28 would be the last day of Sale-A-Bration at Stampin’ Up! But luckily this is a Leap Year so we get an extra day to get FREE products with every $50 we order from Stampin’ Up!
If you would like a refresher, here are the videos Stampin’ Up! gave us to tell us about Sale-A-Bration.
Watch this video to see the products and what coordinates with them from the Spring Mini Catalog!
Watch this video and get a good look at all the designer series papers that you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration! As good as they may look on video, remember that in person the Stampin’ Up! designer series papers look even more beautiful and fantastic!
And if you are interested in being a Demonstrator…..

And Stampin’ Up! added more products to get with a $50 or $100 purchase!
Shop from any of the Stampin’ Up! catalogs (Annual & Spring Mini) plus the Online Exclusives, Clearance Rack, Kits, and even Prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions! If you can purchase it at Stampin’ Up! and you spend $50 or more in one order, you may choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. Have fun!!
Can you believe Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end only two weeks from today?! It always seems like a long time when it begins and then before we know it, it comes to an end. Fortunately, we still have some time left to make Stampin’ Up! purchases and earn FREE products!
In case you are new, Sale-A-Bration is an annual promotion that Stampin’ Up! has held for many, many years and is a favorite because it involves earning free products! With every $50 purchase, you may earn a free Sale-A-Bration product. There are no limits to how much you can earn. Spending $100, for example, gives you the choice to choose two free products at the $50 Level, but there are additional special choices at the $100 Level if you prefer. Having an order of $150 or more also earns Stampin’ Rewards of 10% more in current Stampin’ Up! products plus Sale-A-Bration.
Here is the main Sale-A-Bration brochure for choosing FREE rewards:
Recently Stampin’ Up! added some additional choices!
If you like Paper Pumpkin, you might like to consider adding a Paper Pumpkin Prepaid Subscription to your order and earning Sale-A-Bration rewards with that subscription. Even if you are already getting the monthly subscription, you can purchase a prepaid subscription that will override the monthly subscription until it runs out, and then your account will automatically revert to your monthly subscription. You still can skip a month if you need to with a prepaid subscription.
You can add the 1-month Prepaid Subscription to your order to reach $50 or whatever amount you want to reach. If you purchase the 3-month Prepaid Subscription for $69.50 you will earn a free Sale-A-Bration product at the $50 Level. (You will pay the minimum shipping on that amount for the Sale-A-Bration product if that is all you order.) Not only can you earn Sale-A-Bration rewards but you will get a Paper Pumpkin Kit in your mailbox each month!
Another benefit during Sale-A-Bration is the opportunity to JOIN Stampin’ Up! as a Demonstrator and receive an extra bonus!
Check over all these options going on during Sale-A-Bration in the next two weeks and decide if you want to take advantage of any of them! Sale-A-Bration ends February 29, 2024! We get an extra day this year to Sale-A-Brate!
Some of us have been around for a LOT of Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Brations (Does anyone remember when it was called “Sell-a-Bration”?) but some of you are new and may not be familiar with this favorite promotion of Stampin’ Up! We used to only receive a very small brochure with maybe four to six products to choose from with a $50 purchase. But now, we have quite a few choices for every $50 purchase and even some extra-special choices with a $100 purchase!
Watch this video to see the products and what coordinates with them from the Spring Mini Catalog!

This Flight & Airy You’re Marvelous Card is made with brand new designer paper, and you can earn it for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. This Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper is wonderful! It has watercolored birds, foliage, flowers, and washes. These papers will make beautiful cards and projects for spring!
This card has a Basic White card base but instead of leaving a white margin around the layers, I covered the entire card front with designer paper. I started by choosing the sheet of paper with a vertical line of branches and birds. Although you might waste a bit of paper, it was like cutting out the Christmas design with the bears so that you could make a little scene on your card. I chose a section of birds that I liked and cut the strip of paper to include that area. From that full length of paper, I cut the section that I wanted to be on the front of the card. After I worked on the card, I trimmed that piece of designer paper to be just a little bit narrower. It ended up being 3″ x 5 1/2″.
The “other side” of that same paper was a Pecan Pie brown with crisscrossed lines. I liked it and wanted to use it with the birds section. As I played with making the front of the card, I wanted to add another color to brighten up the card a little bit, to bring out the colors of the birds. I chose Daffodil Delight to be just a narrow strip along the side of the designer paper.
I didn’t want to waste a lot of the designer paper, so I cut the brown pattern into two pieces at 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. I adhered those two strips to each side of the card, exactly on the edges, top and bottom. The Daffodil Delight strips, which are 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ were adhered to the sides of the bird paper with just 1/4″ showing. It helps to use Grid Paper to get everything even and straight. Then I adhered that whole section to the front of the card, making sure I had it even top and bottom and with equal amounts of the brown pattern showing on each side.
The greeting is stamped in Pecan Pie ink on Basic White. I diecut it with a Tailor Made Tag Die, but I found it too large for this card. I didn’t want to cover up any of the pretty birds. I ended up trimming that sentiment as narrow as I could, then flagging one end. Then I layered it on a piece of Pecan Pie cardstock and trimmed that as narrow as I could for a layer. Luckily, it fit exactly right on the card without hiding any birds!
You know if I have a new package of embellishments, I must use them! The colors aren’t all perfect matches, but close enough for matching shades of watercolors. I used the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots. These are in the new Spring Mini Catalog on page 33.
Overall this is a pretty basic, easy card for you to make and fantastic when you can get free designer series paper! Plan your orders in January and February in $50 increments so you can take advantage of Sale-A-Bration!
