Stampin’ Up! Color Refresh Means These Colors Are Retiring!

Posted on April 4, 2023 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today to give you the scoop on the Stampin' Up! Color Refresh! Every 5-6 years Stampin' Up! retires an assortment of their core colors, replacing them with returning favorite In-Colors as well as brand-new colors.

The current Color Refresh includes the retirement of 12 "Core Colors": Blushing Bride, Merry Merlot, Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Mint Macaron, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, and So Saffron. Joining the retiring colors are also four of the five 2021-2023 In Colors: Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, and Pale Papaya. Fresh Freesia, the fifth 2021/23 In Color, is not retiring, but is joining the Subtles Family of Core Colors.

Every item in both the 2022/23 Annual Catalog, as well as the January/April Mini Catalog containing these colors is retiring, as well as many other stamps, tools, and embellishments.

Note: some items from the catalogs will not carry over to the new Annual Catalog, but will not retire. These items will be moved to the "Online Exclusives" in my Online Store beginning on May 2, 2023. As soon as I get that Online Exclusives Carry-Over List I will post it here!

I explained the challenges I am facing right now with my Stampin' Up! business in yesterday's blog post. I am working diligently to "get my ducks in a row", so to speak, and will be back to a more consistent routine of stamping and sharing soon.

For now I would greatly appreciate your continued support of my small business by placing your orders for Retiring Last Chance items in my online store:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

It will also greatly help me if you use the April Host Code:

That's all for today. I hope to be back soon (maybe tomorrow!) with a card to share!

Stampin’ Up! New Catalog is Coming Soon!

Posted on April 14, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I don't have a project to share with you today. We've been Spring Cleaning at my house, starting with our attic containing over 30 years of accumulation. Whew! My advice is don't wait that long to tackle it!

BUT I do wantt to share the cover of the New Annual Catalog, which starts on May 3rd.

Just like everything else right now, Stampin' Up! has announced an small increase in the prices of some items in the New Annual Catalog. Here's a graphic showing the categories affected:

Minimum shipping is also increasing $1, from $6.95 to $7.95. Workshop order shipping will be 11%. Actually not a terribly large increase since Stampin' Up! hasn't raised their shipping prices in over 10 years.

Now for some fun news!

Here's a peek at the new In Colors for 2022-2024! Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Starry Sky, and Orchid Oasis are cute names and are even prettier in person!

Stampin’ Up! Being There for a Friend!

Posted on April 8, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there. There will be no stampy post today. We are still in Atlanta, GA. The Stampin' Up! OnStage Local concluded yesterday afternoon and then we went out for Mexican. A few hours after I went with my friend and downline, Joanne, to the ER. Turns out she is having gallbladder surgery this morning, so please be praying for her. She was in a lot of pain. Hoping and praying for a good recovery.

Her family is here now, so we will be leaving soon to travel home. With being at the ER until after midnight and little sleep, I'm going to table my regularly scheduled Sunday Swap Day post until tomorrow. I hop everyone understands.

I appreciate you guys so much and will be back tomorrow morning.

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! On Stage Live in Salt Lake City!

Posted on April 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm in Salt Lake City, UT for Stampin' Up! OnStage Live! Yesterday travel day that started in the wee morning hours so my travel buddy, Joanne Cantrell, and I could get the St. Louis airport. Actually my day started off with a bang, waking up with a start at 4:30 to discover we had no power! Scared that I had overslept, I fumbled for a cellphone check the time. I laid back down for a few minutes and thankfully the power came back on. I was beginning to wonder if I wasn't meant to make this trip, but after leaving at 6 a.m., my husband texted me a few minutes later that the power went back down right after I left! So here we are!

Yesterday we toured the Stampin' Up! Home Office and Distribution Center. I have visited here before, but Joanne had not.The building is beautiful, with a waterfall in the front atrium, which you can see the trees just a bit in the background of this picture. Stampin' Up! is known for their quality products and attention to detail, and this facility is a perfect example of just that!

We had a bit of an adventure on the bus heading to the Home Office. At a stoplight, our bus changed lanes and then had to stop and back up just a little bit when the light turned red. A little car behind us ran into the back of the bus! Neither vehicle was damaged, but we spent several minutes on the side of the road waiting for the police report. We were one of the last tours of the day, and so grateful we didn't miss out!

I will be back this evening with the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is "Forever Friends". The hop starts tonight at 9 p.m Central, remaining up all day tomorrow, so be sure to come back to check it out and take the hop!

I am VERY EXCITED because today we get to see the NEW 2016/2017 ANNUAL CATALOG! squeeee! I won't be able to share anything with you until next week after the catalog goes live for all demonstrators worldwide, but I will be seeing, learning, and using new products over the next few days, so rest assured I will be sharing with you!

This is the LAST WEEK for the Weekly Deals, (sad face), but Stampin' Up! has given us a HUGE list of deals for the final hurrah!

Also, the 2016 Retiring List of Stamps and Accessories will be released on Monday, April 18. I will be posting it here on Monday!

You can place your order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Remember while shopping:

All orders of any amount (except Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.

Check the Weekly Deals and Clearance Rack for savings ranging from 25% to 60%.

When your order is at least $35 (before tax & shipping) and you use the April Hostess Code: TNCQA3QC you will receive the April Online Class; six cards, two each of three designs, with envelopes and instructions, FREE!

When your order (before tax & shipping) reaches $150, DON’T USE THE HOSTESS CODE, because you can choose free Stampin' Rewards starting at 10% of the total. You will still receive the monthly online class cards.

That’s all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Stampin’ Up! Orlando Leadership Bound!

Posted on January 29, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I know I've been quiet for a few days, because I've been preparing my swaps for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference in Orlando Florida. We were scheduled to fly down yesterday afternoon, but I cam down with a tummy bug yesterday and we had to reschedule our flight. We return on Sunday. I'm looking forward to spending a few days in a warmer climate. Tonight we get to go to Disney for a few hours for Manager's Reception! yay!

I hope to get to post some new ideas while I'm there, but if not, you can be sure I will have LOTS to share after I get home!

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Founder’s Circle Day Two!

Posted on September 20, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Oh my! Stampin' Up! really knows how to spoil their demonstrators! Thank you Stampin' Up! and my stampin' customer friends for making it possible for me to enjoy this retreat!

Thursday, September 18th was all about relaxing and being spoiled rotten by Stampin' Up!

I spent much of my day in the Gathering Place, relaxing and visiting with friends!

Stampin' Up! decorated the Gathering Place to reflect the "Home for the Holidays" theme!

This is my friend Derek Christiansen. Derek & I go way back to the first Stampin' Up! Regional I ever attended. Derek & I have a special bond because he interviewed me on stage at the Kansas City Regional. It was his and my first appearance on stage for Stampin' Up! Derek is now runs all of the events for Stampin' Up!, but he always has time to chat with old friends!

Founder's Circle wouldn't be Founder's Circle without yummy treats:

Besides offering a vast array of yumminess for our tummies, each jar was beautifully decorated with adorable tags to inspire our creativity!

Pretty much all the decor was accented with products from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog! BTW: we get to keep the mug! yay!

The highlight of this day, of course, is the Business Share and Swap!

Stampin' Up! CEO and Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner, greeted us, then it was on to the Share and the Swap, all while wearing our jammies!

Here's all 113 of the swaps I created with the Bright & Beautiful stamp set and Star framelit dies:

Here are swaps I received in return:

You will be getting to see these up-close in the next few weeks of Sunday Swap Days!

That's all for now! I will be sharing more Founder's Circle fun over the next few days, but be sure to come back tomorrow for Sunday Swap Day!
