I just recently returned from one of the most exciting Stampin’ Up! Conventions EVER! The new catalog is fabulous and can be ordered from and will be online on August 11.
Here are a few highlights of Convention (and some things I haven’t listed yet).
∙ Online ordering. Customers will be able to order online this fall. Yea!
∙ Shelli Gardner, Co-founder and CEO of Stampin’ Up! has started her own blog. You can visit it at www.soshelli.com
∙ Phase II of Decor Element will be revealed this fall with many more colors and styles
∙ Starting with the Spring/Summer Catalog 2009 ALL stamp sets will be Die-Cut. All the new ones in the Fall/Winter catalog are die cut too
∙ The Big Shot - Stampin’ Up! Partnered with Sizzex and we now have our own die-cutting machine and exclusive Stampin’ Up! Dies. It can cut over 50 materials. WAAAAAY COOL!!!!!
Here are some interesting facts from convention. I love numbers!!!
∙ There are 48,813 demonstrators!!!!
∙ Net sales in 2007 are over $228 million
∙ To date, Stampin’ Up! has donated over $700,000 to the Ronald McDonals House.
The best part of convention is all the incredible ideas I came home with. I cannot wait to do them in upcoming classes!!! They are so cool. I also have a zillion swaps (ok maybe a few hundred) that are incredible too!
