Important Information About the New Stampin' Up! Catalog

20150601_AnnualCatalog_en-US

Today I am sharing quick video with important information regarding the 2015-2016 Stampin' Up! catalog.  It is a First Cut video...short, to the point, and hopefully, helpful to you as a paper crafter, card maker, or memory keeper!

Take a look at the video below or HERE on You Tube and let me know if you have questions!

One more bit of information...

The new Whisper White card stock mentioned in the video was initially incorrectly labeled on the packaging.  The card stock is 100 lb weight not 80 lb.  Stampin' Up! will correct this error for the next supply of this card stock.

When shopping through my Online Store, please use the current Host Code: BFEC4CSY. ***Important:  If your order totals $150 or more before shipping and tax, please do not use the Host Code.  You will earn Stampin' Rewards on your order!
