The New 2017-18 Annual Catalog 

Mark your calendars!

April 10
The 2017-18 Annual Catalog appears online for demonstrators only.

The retiring products from the 2016-17 Annual Catalog & 2017 Occasions Catalog will be posted at 1:00 PM (Mountain Time). I will relay that information in a newsletter ASAP after it appears on the demonstrator side of the website.
You may want to stock up on your 2015-17 In Color products now instead of waiting until then. These items - especially the reinkers - sell out super quick! Other items that are most likely going to end up retiring are Designer Series Paper packs/stacks and Project Life cards/accessory packs. So get your favorites sooner than later. 

May 2 
All ordering will be down so Stampin' Up! can do catalog transition updates between midnight and 3:00 AM (MT). During this time no orders can be entered by demonstrators and by customers ( in the Online Store).

Demonstrators can begin pre-ordering products and will receive their complimentary copy of the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog with this order.

Starting this day those purchasing the Starter Kit can choose pre-order products and will get a box of new catalogs in their kits. ( Click here to learn more about the fun of being a demonstrator in my community of stampers and the many other benefits of purchasing the Starter Kit.)

Week of May 8 
Stampin' Up! begins shipping catalogs to select customers. Standard (bulk) shipping can take up to three weeks, depending on your location.
If you would like to receive the 2016-17 Annual Catalog from me, you need to contact me to let me know. Those that have ordered at least $75 worth of product from me between December 1, 2016 and April 28, 2017 will be mailed a complimentary one from me. But I also give complimentary catalogs to anyone that requests one and can either come pick it up OR can pay for me to ship it. Those that live near me may pick one up at no charge.  
If you do not live near enough to pick one up and you haven't ordered $75+ from me since December 2016, then you may place your qualifying order by April 28th to make that list OR request a catalog to be send and pay for the shipping costs using this link:

undefined

May 15  
Complimentary copies of the 2016-2017 annual catalog begin shipping to those demonstrators who didn't place a demonstrator order between May 2 and May 14.

May 31st
This is the last day to order from the current catalogs. This is the last day to order from the list of retiring products, too!

June 1 
All ordering will be down so Stampin' Up! can do catalog transition updates from midnight to noon (MT). During this time no orders can be entered by demonstrators and by customers (in the Online Store).

The 2017-2018 Annual Catalog sales period begins at noon (MT) and runs through May 31, 2018.
 
 
 
Product Shares coming for the
New 2017-18 Annual Catalog
 
Just a heads up that I'm planning new product shares (ribbons, paper, etc.) for the upcoming catalog that debuts June 1st. (Click here to see last year's options.) I'll have the 2017-18 shares all planned out with information & sign up opportunities soon. So watch for that information here on my website and in my newsletters!

Us lucky demonstrators get to see the new catalog and get it in our hands soon at our OnStage Stampin' Up! Event April 8th! In fact we already got peeks at a few items! Lots of great new products are around the corner!
