Happy CANADA DAY!

 

Happy Canada Day to all of my fellow Canadians.  Here in Calgary the weather amazing, and the clean up from the flood is well under way.  There is a long way to go in some areas and the devastation amazing but what is truly amazing is the way people are volunteering and helping out.   Our Stampede will be underway this Friday and our Zoo should be opening soon!

With all that has happened it makes this Canada Day mean that much more! 

 

As you may have noticed on my banner I created a card to celebrate Canada's 146th birthday!

Bloomin' Bouquet Project Kit

A Great New Product Offer

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!

Ordering information:

Item 134542 $15.95

Available starting April 29, while supplies last.
Kit contents:

• 2 sheets of preprinted and precut flowers on 12" X 12" cardstock; makes 13 flowers using Pool Party, Gumball Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Rich Razzleberry
• 13 Vintage Faceted Buttons
• 13 green floral wire stems

Ideas for this kit ..

This kit makes a great gift, both assembled and unassembled. You may want to give it as a fun do-at-home project, or create it yourself to give away.

This kit can appeal to both stampers and non-stampers; the ease of assembly means anyone can do it!

Great Kit for a Girls Birthday Party Craft or a nice Crafty Ladies night out!

Add your own finishing touch to the bouquet: place it in a vase, wrap it up in tissue paper, decorative ribbon, or twine.

There is also a Great New Card Kit

It's important for us to stay up-to-date with colour trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities! Why now? In 2010 we did a big colour renovation and shared our plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend.

Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued colour 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 colours on historical sales information from previous colour 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. Please Note, that any of our retiring colour products are only available while supplies last. I will be placing an order Early Morning of April 6 and another in early morning April 8. Please let me know if you want to place an order or check out my Stampin' UP webpage for online ordering.
