New Catalog - Christmas Carryover Stamp Sets

The new 2013 - 2014 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog has launched!

Have you had a chance to check out the new catalog yet?  What do you think?  I am loving it!  A couple of interesting things to note about the new catalog:

• When you look at the samples throughout the book, take a look at the background color.  Stampin' Up! has very creatively used the background colors to show you different color combinations that work well together!  Genius!
• As you have been looking through the catalog (online or in the actual book), you may have noticed that there aren't any Christmas stamp sets.  "Where are the Christmas sets?" you may be asking.  Well, have no fear!  

The following stamp sets will be carried over and will still be available for purchase even though they are not pictured in the annual catalog.  These sets will be available during the 2013-2014 catalog year.  Yippee!

• Evergreen Stamp Set (available in French)
• Greetings of the Season Stamp Set (available in French)
• Jewish Celebrations Stamp Set
• More Merry Messages Stamp Set (available in French)
• Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set
• Snowflake Soiree Stamp Set (available in French and Spanish)

The Holiday Catalog will be coming out later this year (more than likely in August, but I'll keep you posted on that) and it will feature the majority of the Christmas stamp sets.  More great Christmas sets are coming!

Did you know we start making Christmas cards in July?  That's right!  We kick things off in July with the annual Christmas in July event and we just keep on making Christmas cards each month through December.  Each month we'll create 12 cards with coordinating envelopes (4 each of 3 designs) - that's a total of 72 Christmas cards!  So, mark your calendars for Saturday, July 27th for our Christmas card making class!

I've also done a quick tour of the new catalog for you.


I'd love to hear your thoughts about the new 2013 - 2014 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.
