May Newsletter

Hi,

Welcome to the May Newsletter. I hope this Newsletter finds you well.

Sadly we are all still living through challenging times but I think it's fair to say that the majority of us have risen to the challenges imposed by this Pandemic. As evidenced by many News reports & Social Media Posts the situation has brought out the best in many communities. As we look ahead, who knows what the New Normal will look like but I suspect that one thing we will take from this experience is that we will never take for granted those simple things in life ever again like getting together with Family or meeting friends for a Coffee.

As I write this we here in the UK remain in Lockdown which makes communication with each other vitally important. Thankfully we have technology, who knew that Zoom could be so useful!! Cards & Letters still though have a tremendous part to play because they are something tangible, something to look at over & over again to enable you to feel close to the Sender & to read again & again the words of encouragement, love & comfort.

May is a busy month in the World of Stampin' Up!®, a month of transition as we get ready for the launch of the new Annual Catalogue on 3rd June & prepare to say farewell to Products from the current Annual Catalogue & Mini Catalogue.

Which that in mind, let me remind you about this:-

Retiring Products will only be available on a while supplies last basis & cannot be ordered after the 2nd June. So, if there is something you have been meaning to buy, NOW is the time to do it.

You can find the full list of Retiring Items in my Blog Post from 22nd April, here is the LINK:-

On the lists you will see that some great discounts have been applied to some of the Retiring Products so it's the perfect opportunity to grab yourself a bargain.

So, as I mentioned earlier we are looking forward to the launch of the new Annual Catalogue on 3rd June & whilst I'm sorry to be saying goodbye to some of my favourite Products I'm equally excited by the new Catalogue. I love the new In Colors & whilst many of our favourites remain there are some fabulous new Stamp Sets, Punches, Dies, Embellishments  & of course a whole new selection of Fabulous Designer Series Paper. Whilst I will begin to share some of the new products in the coming month on my Facebook page & Instagram. To build anticipation let me start today by sharing with you this-

So, we started this newsletter by thinking about the current Pandemic that is affecting us & I want to end by returning to the same subject, but hopefully in a positive way. Within Stampin' Up!'s Statment of the Heart you will find the phrase that they as a Company want "to make a difference" They have therefore launched this:-

This is a DIGITAL Stamp Set & all proceeds from the sale of it will be donated to two organisations helping COVID-19 Frontline Responders & Communities vulnerable to the Pandemic. For Full details CLICK ON the LINK below to read the Blog Post:-

So. that just leaves me to say stay safe & stay well during May & lets do something that will not only brighten our day but also someone else's - lets keep crafting & making Cards.

Take care

Best wishes
