June 2008

A June "hello" to All Stampers! June is starting strong, kids are out of school soon and...the Retired List is coming out June 15th! So either check the SU website or I'll send you a reminder on the 15th!! Remember, all retired stamps will be gone forever on August 10th!

I'll be having a Buy One Get One 20% off on all retired sets the weekend of July 11,12,13th (by e-mail or telephone order) and don't forget to stock up on your favorite Incolor cardstock and reinkers before they are gone forever too (remember, they sold out fast last year).

And come to the Retirement Party Camp in July and use your favorites for the last time unless you order them quick for your personal collection!

SNEAK PEAK - New Die-cut floral stamp set, Fresh Cuts with matching cutout notecards! Buy the set for $21.95 and get the cards for $5.00 (or hostess a $400.00 workshop and get them both FREE). Did I mention the set is Die-Cut? VERY easy to mount! Very Cool - Available in June.

GREAT IDEA - Some of my stamping ladies meet once a month and make cards (you know who you are ;-) - but here's the best part - everyone brings a sample card they have made and have already cut supplies for each attender to make 2 of their card! You go home with a whole stack of CUTE cards! Great Idea ladies!!

I love the soft and swirly look - it adds dimension and goes from a contemporary to an antique look - in notime.
