A HEADS UP FROM PAPER PUMPKIN

A note from Paper Pumpkin:

Hi everyone!

I already visited many of you with my very first kit last month. If you haven’t signed up, it’s really easy-just visit www.mypaperpumpkin.com.

If you’ve already joined, just wanted to give you a heads up. I promised to let you know when you’d be able to skip a month of receiving me or even cancel your Paper Pumpkin kits completely (so sad, I’ll stop coming.) Those two options are now available-just visit www.mypaperpumpkin.com, log in to your account, and click “Manage My Pumpkin” in the blue box under the “You Have Joined” red banner.

Make sure to skip or cancel me by the 10th of the month to skip that month’s kit or cancel your kits completely.

And, coming soon, we’ll also have the feature to notify you via e-mail when any of your customers cancel or skip a month. We’ll let you know when this feature is available.

It’s been nice chatting with you. Can’t wait for our next creativity escape.

ps. if you are new to paper pumpkin, be sure to pick Beth Kinney as a demonstrator. Plus, if you sign up this month, you get NEW ANNUAL catalog free!

I have yet to get myself a set of these photopolymer stamps, but if you have a set, I would LOVE to hear your opinion. Here is what Stampin’ Up! is saying…

Top-quality photopolymer that gives a perfectly stamped image every time.

• They’re entirely transparent for perfect placement!

Watercolor Pencils (item 101879) and Watercolor Wonder Crayons Brights Collection (item 119804), which have been on the Backorder Report for about a week, will no longer be available, effective immediately. If your order has not been shipped due to its status in backorder, we will not be able to fill it. We will soon begin processing refunds for these items.

It’s New Catalog Time!

Hey everyone,

It’s that exciting time of year before Stampin’ Up! puts out its new Annual Catalog. Anyone who orders from either me or my website this month, I will sign you to get a FREE catalog when they mail on May 1. No minimum order needed to get the free catalog. As many of you know, the Stampin’ Up! Catalog is full of amazing creations, colors and ideas to help encourage your creativity.

DO YOU DREAM IN COLOR? WE DO!

Announcing our Color Refresh! We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It’s important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!

Why now? In 2010, Stampin’ Up! did a big color renovation and shared their plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep the colors on trend. Well it has been three years and they are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. We did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone–including you in your own business and personal purchases. We encourage you to let your customers know that any of our retiring color products are only available while supplies last so they can get their favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog. And also announced today, free shipping is going on April 6-8, 2013, which would be a great time for you and your customers to get your favorites before they are gone! (Free shipping is for North America only.)

Want to get some of the new color products for FREE? Watch for more information on April 12 for an exciting opportunity to get the new amazing colors for free.
