Stampin' Up! shared some important dates with us this past week, so I wanted to pass them along to you. Mark your calendars!
April 17
The 2016-17 Annual Catalog appears online for demonstrators only.
April 18
The retiring products from the 2015-2016 annual and occasions catalogs will be posted at 1:00 PM (MT). I will relay that information here on my blog ASAP after it appears on the demonstrator side of the website. (You may want to stock up on your 2014-16 In Color products now instead of waiting until then. These items – especially the reinkers – sell out super quick! Click here for more information on many of these 2014-16 In Color products.)
Demonstrators may share photos of new products (and projects made with new products), photos of the new catalog cover, Product Purchase Premiere items, details regarding products that are not carrying over, and any product- or announcement-related information as early as 1:00 PM (MT) this day! (No links to the online catalog are allowed until June 1st, though.)
May 3
All ordering will be down so Stampin' Up! can do catalog transition updates between midnight and 2:00 AM (MT). During this time no orders can be entered by demonstrators and by customers (in the Online Store).
Demonstrators can begin Pre-ordering products from the new catalog and will receive their complimentary copy of the new 2016-2017 annual catalog with this order.
Starting this day new demonstrators can choose Pre-order products and will get a box of new catalogs in their Starter Kits.

Week of May 6
Stampin' Up! begins shipping catalogs to select customers. Standard (bulk) shipping can take up to three weeks, depending on your location. If you would like to receive the 2016-17 Annual Catalog from me, you need to contact me to let me know.
Those that have ordered at least $75 worth of product from me between December 1, 2015 and April 28, 2016 will be mailed a complimentary one from me.
But I also give complimentary catalogs to anyone that requests one and can either come pick it up OR can pay for me to ship it. Those that live near me may pick one up at no charge. If you do not live near enough to pick one up and you haven't ordered $75+ from me since December 2015, then you may place your qualifying order by April 28th to make that list OR request a catalog to be sent by clicking below on the Paypal button and paying $6.45 for shipping.
May 16
Complimentary copies of the 2016-2017 annual catalog begin shipping to those demonstrators who didn't place a demonstrator order between May 3 and May 15.
May 31st
This is the last day to order from the current catalogs – the 2015-16 Annual Catalog and the 2016 Occasions Catalog. This is the last day to order from the list of retiring products, too!
June 1
All ordering will be down so Stampin' Up! can do catalog transition updates from midnight to 3:00 AM (MT). During this time no orders can be entered by demonstrators and by customers (in the Online Store).
The 2016-2017 annual catalog sales period begins at 3:00 AM (MT) and runs through May 31, 2017.
I also had to sneak in this fabulously easy yet pretty card today. I got the idea from Mary Wessling.
Measurements:
- Whisper White Thick cardstock – 11" x 4-1/4" folded in half & 5-1/4" x 4"
Directions:
- Stamp the brushstroke image 3 times in 3 different colors on the top portion of the 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White cardstock piece. Stamp the sentiment.
- Die-cut the butterfly from this piece. Attach the 5-1/4" x 4" piece to the front of the card. Then reattach the butterfly by only using a couple Glue Dots behind the center of the butterfly body. Bend the wings forward a bit.
- Attach the pearls.
I hope the information in today's post was helpful to you. Remember to mark your calendars.
