Stampin' Up! retiring products!

Well, it's that time of year again ....... the new annual Stampin' Up!catalogue has been launched to demonstrators and the retiring list has now gone live!
While it's so exciting to see all the amazing new products arriving, it's sad to see some of our favourites leaving.
So if any of your favourites are on the retiring list, grab them before they're gone - these will be available only while stocks last!

Click here to see what's retiring.

We're also having a colour revamp this year - we're saying goodbye to 18 colours and welcoming several gorgeous new colours. Of course, there'll be a new set of in-colours for 2018-20, so remember that the 2016-18 in-colours are included in the colours we're losing. Or maybe we're just losing four of them ...... 😉

The in-colours we're losing are:
Dapper Denim
Emerald Envy
Peekaboo Peach
Sweet Sugarplum

The other colours we're saying goodbye to are:
Always Artichoke
Basic Black
Chocolate Chip
Elegant Eggplant
Island Indigo
Marina Mist
Perfect Plum
Pink Pirouette
Rose Red
Soft Sky
Tangerine Tango
Tempting Turquoise
Wild Wasabi
Wisteria Wonder

We have a few returning colours too!

As well as a colour refresh, we're also having a redesign of our ink pad cases - so although we're only losing 18 ink colours, we're losing the current casing for ALL colours! So don't worry when you see all colours on the retiring list - that's just a retiral of the current cases.
Confused yet?
In short, only 18 colours are changing, but all cases are changing. So if you're going to keep your current inks, do stock up on reinkers before those retire or change - the new inks have had a defoamer added to them, so it's case of 'old' inks, 'old' reinkers and 'new' inks, 'new' reinkers!

I really hope all of that makes sense! If not, give me a shout and I'll be more than happy to explain.


The new 2018/19 catalogue launched live at the weekend and I was one of the demonstrators who was at our On-Stage event to get my hands on it. The online version has been launched to every demonstrator as of this evening. The catalogue goes live for shopping on 1st June.
I can't wait until you see it too - I'll be sending customer copies out towards the end of May.
SO if you would like a copy, let me know and I'll be delighted to send you one free of charge.

However .......... if you really can't wait to get your hands on these gorgeous products - and believe me they really ARE gorgeous - then now is a brilliant time to think about joining my team. As demonstrators we get to pre-order products from the new catalogues in preparation for launches and to be able to showcase to customers; so you could be getting your hands on products from 1st May - a WHOLE MONTH before the catalogue goes live!
For £99 you choose your own kit with £130-worth of products with an immediate discount of 20% net (which works out at just slightly less than 20%).
You have a VERY achievable quarterly target to meet, but if you sign up during the current quarter, you have until the end of the next quarter to hit that; so you'd have until the end of June to complete your first quarter, whilst ordering at a discount into the bargain!
There really is no small print or hidden agenda - you don't even have to 'sell' at parties or get so many 'party' dates in the diary, like many other direct selling companies. There's no requirement to have customers or a blog or a website. You can purely join as a hobby demonstrator and order just for yourself and still enjoy the same discounts and promotions as he rest of us.
There's also no penalty if you don't meet your target - after an extra 'pending' month, you become inactive and essentially drop from the system with nothing to pay or return. You can then sign back up again straight away, unless you want to change to a different team leader in which case you need to wait for 90 days.
Please f
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or if you'd like to discuss joining. Or click on the 'Join my team' tab at the top of the page (or here) and sign up straight away!

So get over to that retiring list and see which of your favourites are retiring and get them before they're gone!

Ronald McDonald House Charities

Did you know that Stampin' Up! supports Ronald McDonald House Charities?
Each year, there's a stamp set in the annual catalogue from which Stampin' Up! donate a percentage of the sales to RMHC.

In this year's catalogue it's the 'Sharing Sweet Thoughts' stamp set.
Here's the link to the clear-mount set and here's the link to the wood-mount set.
For every stamp set sold, Stampin' Up! will donate £2 to RMHC.

We also hold events where we make cards to donate to local Ronald McDonald Houses so that those away from home can use the cards to keep in touch with loved ones.
Recently I joined my team mate, Janice, in her RMHC card-making afternoon, resulting in 126 cards being made and topped up to 156 by another lady in our wider team, Helzie, with some help from her mum!
Janice donated those to our local Ronald McDonald House in Glasgow.

New Spring / Summer catalogue and Sale-A-Bration are now LIVE! Plus AMAZING joining offer!

Our new seasonal Spring / Summer catalogue and our Sale-A-Bration event are now LIVE!

Click here to see the new catalogue which runs alongside our current annual catalogue until 31st May and click here to see the Sale-A-Bration brochure. The Sale-A-Bration event runs until 31st March.

There's never been a better time to stock up on your favourite crafty items because you can earn FREE products while you shop!
For every £45 spend*, you can choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration item and with multiples of £45 you can either choose multiple items or 'upgrade' to a higher value item for each £90 spend*

* each £45 or multiple (eg £90, £135 etc) must be on one order - amounts cannot be spread across multiple orders.






OR why not hold your own crafty party or workshop and earn Stampin' Rewards (host rewards) to get more FREE items from any of our current catalogues?
Earn from 10% host rewards with party sales of £150 or more BUT during Sale-A-Bration you'll also earn an ADDITIONAL £20 to spend FREE with party sales of £200 or more!




OR have you been wondering about signing up as a demonstrator yourself?
Normally the starter kit would be £99 for a kit worth £130 - but you get to CHOOSE which items you want in your starter kit! There's no set kit, so you can customise it to suit your needs entirely.

You can also sign up purely as a hobby demonstrator to enjoy the discount, or you can sign up to start growing your own business - the choice is entirely yours!

PLUS, during Sale-A-Bration, you can also choose an ADDITIONAL TWO FREE STAMP SETS on top of your kit! These can be chosen from any of our current catalogues (excluding the Sale-A-Bration brochure), so you could potentially add another £50-60 worth to your kit.

Stampin'Up!'s minimum quarterly targets are low and achievable and  there are no penalties for 'dropping'.

Want to know more? Get in touch and I'll be delighted to go over it all in detail with you. Send me an email to corriepapercrafts@gmail.com or use the 'Contact' form on this page or message via my Facebook page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I'm looking to grow my team and I'd LOVE you to be a part of it too! There's never been a better time to join - you've really nothing to lose!
And remember ......... THERE'S NO CATCH!





First video!

Well, yesterday I decided to make my first craft video!
A few people have asked me how I made the little treat pouches I gifted to various people at Christmas, so I decided the easiest way to do that was to make a video that I could then share with those who have asked, even though Christmas is now past.
I've shared it on my Facebook page here and also on my new YouTube channel here.
I thought I'd also share it with you here.

Although the festive season is over, the Designer Series Paper I use in this video is still current in our 2017-18 Annual Catalogue; so the products aren't yet unavailable 😊
