Well the title says it all.  I’m giving away a free Exclusive Hostess Stamp from the upcoming Annual Catalog.  The new catalog starts in just a few short weeks, June 1st to be exact.  How would you like to have one of the Hostess stamp sets.  Actually you could get 3 of them but only 1 is FREE.

Here is how you can do that.  Take advantage of the all new “Your Way” starter kit.

Of course there are some rules.  I know I hate rules but sometimes they are needed.

1. You need to purchase the starter kit thru me.  You can do that here.
2. Your transaction must be completed by May 30, 2012 Midnight MT
3. You need to be the first person to purchase the kit.  Yes there is a limit to the give away.  But, guess what?  For everyone that takes advantage of this great opportunity your name will be entered into a random drawing for a second chance give away.

Now here is the special treat for you.  Once you purchase the “Your Way” Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit this month you will have the option to purchase 2 of the upcoming Hostess Sets.  This only happens one time a year and May is it!

Final but most important rule

4.  You will have fun!

Happy Stampin’

I have used this set so many times I have lost count.  It is one that I had received from Stampin’ Up! while I was in Utah on a tour of the manufacturing plant last fall a few months before the Occasions Mini was released.   It is now one of the stamps that can be ordered for just a few more hours.

It’s Here!!!  Stampin’ Up! has released the Retiring Accessory List with lots of discounts already included so more amazing savings for you!!!

• View the STAMPIN’ UP! RETIRING ACCESSORIES LIST BY CATALOG PAGE NUMBER. Retiring items are only while supplies last. Order your favorite items before they are gone.

The list is very long and does include all of the ink pads Stampin’ Up! has to offer but that does not mean all of the colors are retiring.  Craft Stampin’ Pads will now only be available in white and black.  Classic Stampin’ Pads will have a new Firm Foam pad when they are released in the 2012-2013 annual catalog.  The Firm Foam pad offers better in coverage and, in turn, better stamped images.

Markers will now only be available in limited colors or color collections.

12×12 Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered. 12×12 Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select colors or color collections.

SUMMER SMOOCHES FABRIC DESIGNER BRADS are only available while supplies last.  Item #125589.  These brads will NOT be continued in the Stampin’ Up! 2012-2013 Annual Catalog.  Learn more about the Stampin’ Up! Summer Smooches Promotion.

I am enjoying the colors from the sneak peek Summer Smooch Suite along with the Labels Collection Framelits from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The mini is ending next week so if you haven’t grabbed up your items be sure to do so before the 30th.

Are they not just as bright as you would think something with summer in the name should be.

And don’t you just love the Summer Smooch Fabric Brads.  These are a limited edition item so get them before they are gone. 

And can you see the WOW factor here?

I have a video on how to create the flip window that will be online tomorrow so be sure to come back by.

See how it “hinges”    in the center?

I know the photo is hard to tell but the video will make it look super simple but all of your friends will certainly think you are the super duper paper engineer!

Shop online today for those Summer Smooch Fabric Brads before they are gone. 

Happy Stampin’

As promised I have finished the video to make the super cool Flip Window WOW card.

I would love to know what you can make with this technique.

Email me with your version of a flip card and I will post 2 winners as guest bloggers.  I can’t wait to see what you came up with.

Happy Stampin’
