Look what I can do…look what I can do! Better known as, I made my first ever Scrapbook page using a Stampin Up’ Simply Scrappin’ Scrapbooking Kit. While scrapbooking kits are supposed to take most of the guess work out of creating a page, I was still a bit leary. Boy was I wrong!

My First Scrapbook Page Using a Stampin' Up! Scrapbook Kit

Grabbing some pictures of a trip to Australia with my brother back in 2001 and the “Tailor-Made” Stampin Up’ Simply Scrappin’ Kit, I was on my way. What made the kit so great was the fact that everything I needed to complete the page pictured above, was included, except one item - Dotto. “Dotto” is adhesive dots that come in a hand dispenser for applying your photographs to your scrapbook page. Dotto also allows repositioning of items if you want to change something later.

If you are looking to try your hand at scrapbooking or new at it like me, the Stampin Up’ Simply Scrappin’ Scrapbooking Kits are the way to go. I found it to be fun and easy, yet I was still able to use my own creativity to put a personal touch on the scrapbook page.

The Tailor-Made Scrapbooking Kit By Stampin' Up!                        (Images © Stampin' Up!)

The Tailor-Made Scrapbooking Kit (Stampin Up catalog item #114326) was $19.95 and Dotto adhesive with dispenser (catalog item #103305) was $12.95. The scrapbook kit comes with enough supplies and embellishments to make many scrapbook pages not just one. I did get hungry while making the page and believe the only other item Stampin Up may want to include with the kits is a snack or dare I dream big, a boxed lunch. Sorry but we men do get hungry.

Other Scrapbook page kits in the Simply Scrappin’ line are:

Petal Party 113059
Best Ever 112054, Spanish version: Lo Mejor de Todo 112970
Love Sparkles 113918
Hoppy Memories 113936
Sweet Nothings 113925
Sunshine Garden 113911
Love Stories 112179
Rock-a-Bye Boy 112172
Rock-a-Bye Girl 112165
2 Sweet 113943

Say Goodbye to the Stampin’ Up Retired List and Hello to the Last Chance List

By Daniel Bernzweig

For as many years as I can remember, Stampin Up would release their retired list. The list consists of rubber stamp sets that will be gone forever when the new catalog arrives. This year Stampin Up is re-naming the retired list as the “last chance list”. This year’s list will debut on June 1, 2009.

Don’t cry over spilled ink

With so many “favorite” stamp sets leaving, there are many emotions to be had such as sadness, happiness, anger and more. I like to think the ink pad is half full. When items leave the catalog, it opens up space in the catalog for new and exciting rubber stamp sets. The creative crew at Stampin Up is always coming up with new designs and cutting edge products for your crafting pleasure.

If you find there are stamp sets on the list that you must have, grab them while you can. The last day to purchase will be June 30, 2009. I will post here as soon as the last chance list is released. Add this site to your favorites, tell your friends, even emboss husbandofastamper.com on your forehead but do check back here on June 1st.

If one list is not enough

Another list to be released on June 1 will be the retired Stampin Up accessories. Some accessories will also be leaving the catalog and unlike the rubber stamp sets, accessories are limited in quantity. Many will sell out before the catalog end date of June 30, 2009.

Celebrate with a party

My wife Rebecca Bernzweig just told me she is planning something special when the last chance list is announced. Last year 10 of her customers got to pick a free Stampin Up product* and everyone who ordered $25. or more, got a free grab bag gift*. I will post more details on this site as I get them. UPDATE: Click here to see this years special.
*These items ship from Rebecca Bernzweig and ship separately from your Stampin Up order.

        

1) Are you looking for retired Stampin Up stamp sets, hostess sets, wheels or other accessories? Rebecca just updated her Stampin Up retired products page. She has listed, recently retired items and some that go back as far back to 2002. All are at discounted prices.

Hint: If you see any retired stamp sets or accessories that are on your must have list, grab them. Most are quantity of one and are first come, first served.

2) Rebecca updated her specials page to include information on the Stampin Up Sale-A-Bration promotion. I believe that Sale-A-Bration is the biggest event that Stampin Up has each year. Who wouldn’t want free rubber stamping or scrapbooking supplies? Get a free item for every $50. you grab from the Stampin Up catalog. Read more on her specials page.

3) The last update is on the Free Stampin Up catalog offer I mentioned in my last post. Please remember that the number of catalogs is limited and the offer could end before the promotion end date. You will receive a free catalog with any size online order. See my last post for full details.

Keep On Crafting,

Daniel

        

My wife Rebecca mentioned to me that Stampin' Up! is giving away free, the new Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog with any sized online order. It just dawned on me that she really meant it! It does not matter if you grab just one ink pad for $5.95 or a whole set of 12 ink pads or even the Color Caddy to store them in. It could be for that one rubber stamp set you have been dreaming about or dare I say, you splurged on the Stampin Up Big Shot die cutting machine. Big or small, any sized online order will get you a free catalog.

Now for the free Stampin Up catalog details and fine print:

• You must place your Stampin Up order online.
• Offer good February 1-April 30, 2009.
• Stampin Up has alloted a set number of free catalogs. This promotion ends when that supply is gone or until April 30, 2009, whichever comes first.

The fine print: There is no fine print, just enjoy your free catalog!

Daniel

P.S. If you have not seen what the Stampin Up Big Shot can do for your rubber stamping and scrapbooking, you must take a look at it. The dies cut through 50 different materials to make embellishments for your crafting projects. And speaking as a man – it even cuts through metal! To see the big shot, go to Rebecca's online store, click “shop now”, click on “Die Cutting” and then on “Big Shot Machine and tools”.

Oh, Oh, Oh! I just remembered that there is a new Video that shows the Stampin Up Big Shot in action. Watch it now by going to Rebecca's Demonstrator website and at the bottom left you will see it as this months “Featured Project”. Enjoy!

        

Don't be sad, be happy! Celebrate the ending of the 2008 Stampin Up Catalog with my wife Rebecca Bernzweig as she throws her RebeccaStamps Stampin Up Retirement Party Promotion. Here's how the Retirement Party works:

The 10 highest order totals ($25+) by January 18, 2009 get their choice of a retirement gift. All orders will get a Stampin Up grab bag item. Please see her specials page for all the details.

What is the Stampin Up retired list? To make room in the new Stampin Up catalog, some rubber stamp sets and accessories must be moved out. This may seem like a sad event, but left in their dust are brand new Stampin Up rubber stamps and products. So if there are retiring items that you want, I urge you to grab them while you still can - NOW! Rebecca always gets a few calls and emails after the catalog ends, wanting to know if they can still get some of the retired products, but by then it's too late - when they're gone, they're gone.

Also ending at midnight January 18th is the Stampin Up inventory blowout sale. Save up to 50% on select Stampin Up products. These include retired, retiring and even current SU products. One of the half off items is the "Country Living Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit". Embellish your crafting projects with either silver or vanilla HodgePodge hardware. Both are 25% off. There are over 25 different items to save on.

The new 2009 Stampin Up catalog is here. I have to admit - I have not looked at the new catalog yet. Does that make me a BAD supporting demonstrator?!? Rebecca got home from SU Leadership in Orlando last weekend. While away she emailed me to say that the new catalog was the best one in her 12 years as a Stampin Up demonstrator. The catalogs came this week and she and I spent all our free time mailing them out to the customers who requested them. I unpacked the catalogs from the boxes, stuffed Rebecca's flyers into them and inserted them into their mailing envelopes. So now I sit typing and realize that I never even opened one up and actually read it to see the new goodies. Guess what I am about to do!! Gotta run.......

Happy Stamping,

Daniel

P.S. This weekend I will be stamping something with one of the new rubber stamp sets from Stampin Up. I will post it later this week.

        

My wife has been in Orlando this week at the Stampin up leadership conference. She has been making posts on her rubber stamping blog to keep her customers up to date on all the neat things she has been finding out. Here are the links to the Leadership up dates:

Part 1: Stampin Up Leadership Orlando 2009

Part 2: Stampin Up Leadership Orlando 2009

Part 3: Stampin Up Leadership Orlando 2009

You can also go to her main blog page to read the newer updates as they appear.

Wait until you read Rebecca's thoughts on the new 2009 Stampin Up catalog. I think you will like what she has to say.

Enjoy,

Daniel
