Craftyduckydoodah! September Updates

Hello and welcome to September - I can't believe how fast this year is disappearing can you?  The new Mini Catalogue launched yesterday and it is choc full of fabulous new goodies to inspire you and its full of some lovely Christmas items too!  I don't usually rave about DSP but there are some absolutely stunning papers available this year!  

Of course I was able to pre order some goodies and have been working on some samples for upcoming workshops which I will start sharing too - its far too hot in the UK at the moment to think about Christmas!

So much happening in the world of Stampin' Up! so, here are all the details you need in one place.

New Catalogue is here!

There are 83 pages choc full of lovely new crafting goodies.  I am trying very hard not to buy pretty much everything in there I can tell you!  The selection of DSP available this year has some absolutely stunning papers like these Oxidised Copper Speciality Designer Series Paper featuring my all time favourite colour Lost Lagoon.

We have already started to use new items for Coffee & Cards sessions.  What is top of your Wish List?  If you have not got your copy of the new Mini Catalogue yet, just let me know and I will get one to you asap.

Special Release Products 

Not only do we have the new mini catalogue we also have five Special Release packs of Designer Series Paper to choose from too.  There are two Christmassy packs, one floral and one that would be great for masculine cards.  My absolute favourite is the gold and silver adhesive backed glimmer sheets - I may have added a couple of packs to my order yesterday!

You can find the new DSP and many other items in my online store in the Online Exclusive section HERE.

Making A Difference
People are at the heart of what we do! Each year, with our product giveback programme, we look to support organisations in our communities that strive to make a positive difference for those in need. This year, we’re supporting the Salvation Army in Ireland and the United Kingdom.

As ever, the clever people at SU have ensured that these papers coordinate with lots of the new products and there is a punch and a die set that can be used with this DSP too!

Our featured product is the A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (item 162377), which you can find in the September–December 2023 Mini Catalogue. For every paper pack sold, we will donate 3,00 € | £2.50 to the Salvation Army.

New - Branded Merchandise

Most of you who know me know that my trusty Stampin' Up! tumbler is never far away - I use mine every single day without fail - its usually full of iced water.  It goes everywhere with me; to meetings, on walks, days out and even holidays!

Now, the question is, is it too early for a Christmas mug?  I don't think so!!  These fun and festive designs will help you get into the Christmas Spirit.  At just £22 for both mugs, they would make great gifts filled with goodies wouldn't they?

You can order wither through me directly or via my online store HERE in the New Arrivals section.
