We have now come to a very busy time in our Stampin' Up! Year 😀 I am back from our OnStage 3-Day Event in Auckland and have the new 2019/2020 Annual Catalogue in my hot little hands. Oh my!! so many lovely and exciting things to come. Sorry can't share the inside pages yet 😏 Join my happy Team of "Sunburst Stampers" here now and you can see all the inside fun right now.
Meanwhile there will be quite a few things happening leading up to the new Catalogue that I think you all should know about 😉 I will be updating you all over the next few days so that you are not all overwhelmed at the same time 😃😃😃
Firstly the Retirement List items are now available by clicking on my link to the right of this page. Go check them all out and I suggest that you order fairly quickly as in past experience the most popular things, like In Color ink pads and re-inkers, will sell out fast.
Please remember, if you are in Australia, to add my April Hostess Code 9PEDXAXN to your Online Order to receive your free pack of 6" x 6" "All My Love" Designer Series Paper as a Thank You from me.
Also the first thing I will talk about is the Retirement of the Stampin' Trimmer and replacement blades..
Stampin' Up! have decided to retire the Stampin’ Trimmer as of 3 June 2019, including all accessories—replacement cutting blades, scoring blades and cutting mats. They have experienced challenges with their supplier and are taking the opportunity to research and explore a replacement option for this product, which will not be the same as the current Stampin’ Trimmer.
There will be a gap in time between when the current Stampin’ Trimmer retires and when a new product becomes available. Once they feel confident in the new offering, they will communicate more details.
While the replacement cutting blades will also retire with the trimmer and will not be featured in the annual catalogue, they have ordered what would normally be six months of inventory based on recent historical patterns to help demonstrators and customers during this transition away from our current trimmer. But please know that this news could cause faster inventory depletion. When the retiring list goes live on 15 April, the order limit for the blades will be set to six (and the limit will remain at six until they’re no longer available). And from now until September, we will receive intermittent shipments from the supplier. Throughout these months, we anticipate times when the blades will not be orderable (and not offered as a backorder). During those downtimes, you may receive notification when the blades are available again.
To quote Brian King, a Demonstrator in the US who says it all brilliantly:-
When Change happens the door for Innovation is opened. How is anyone supposed to improve if they just want to do everything the same way as before?
While I love my Stampin' Trimmer and use it absolutely every day I am excited about the opportunity of a new and improved product. I have ordered a few spare blades to keep me going and if you need to back up your supplies then order yours quickly too so as to avoid disappointment. Click on the replacement blades icon below to go straight to my Online shop.
Tomorrow I will cover more on Die-Cutting and Embossing Product Line Changes. See you back here tomorrow
Happy Stamping
Janette
