The Occasions Mini Catalog just expired April 30. Here are the list of items in that catalog that are still available for sale:
Oops, I snipped in the wrong place and Island Indigo Baker's Twine is listed twice.

Get them before they are gone! The retired accessories and Definitely Decorative (including Décor Elements) lists are now available and won't stay around for long--these items are only available while supplies last - some accessories are being DISCOUNTED!
When you review the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. Here's why: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) Stampin' Up! isintroducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.
The Firm Foam pads offer better ink coverage and, in turn, better stamped images.
In addition, please note the following about the new catalog:

I'm co-hosting a bridal shower/tea this weekend. One of my tasks is place cards and table cards with the names of the tea items we'll be serving. The shower will be in my friend's home and she's rented all the tables, chairs, tablecloths, dishes, etc... I asked her what one color she'd choose as an accent as there's really no color theme and she said "garden green" (to go with the topiary centerpieces), literally. She's no stamper so she wouldn't know that Stampin' Up! has a color named "Garden Green". What are the chances?! Of course, I said "hmmm... let me see if I have that color", LOL!
So, my very simple place cards have a tiny pop of Garden Green. I printed all the guests names using Stampin' Up! card stock and my home printer. I then punched out the names using our Decorative Label punch (#120907) then punched again in Garden Green. Snip the green one in half, trim off the center pointy pieces and simply adhere the white to the green. I embellished with a Basic Rhinestone (#119246) then popped it off the base card with 2 Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430). I was finished in minutes.
What do you think? These are the place cards for the 3 hostesses and the mother of the groom. We're all college roommates who met in 1979! The bride and groom met at our university. How's that for coming full circle?
And here's mine all by itself.

A friend forwarded this request to me, and I wanted to ask you to participate since there may just be someone reading my blog that knows something about cards...
The students at Chardon High School, where the shootings took place last week, have requested that cards be sent to show support. They would like enough cards to wallpaper their school hallways. What a small request for kids who have endured so much! Handmade, or store bought, please send a card today!
The school address is:
Chardon High School
151 Chardon Ave.
Chardon, OH 44024
In our Stampin' Up! family tree, we are connected 5 levels above us and 5 levels down. I'm in the 5th level of Jill Olsen's downline. Jill is one of the most senior demonstrators with our company having joined almost on Day 1. This week, I received a lovely note of congrats from Jill using the "Designer Cuts" Cards & Envelopes Set (125414 $9.95 for 4 sets of 2 designs & only available thru 4/30/12).
I am a huge fan of "clean and simple" stamping and this card fits that criteria perfectly!
Jill has thousands of demonstrators on her team so to be recognized in any given month in her top-30 is a huge honor!
Who knew that paper crafts and chocolate went so well together? Today some of my co-workers will get a Hershey's bar wrapped in Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. Yes, it's retiredpaper so this was a fabulous opportunity to make good use of it.
This project could not have come together faster which is what you want when you're wrapping about 30 candy bars. I call it speed crafting! Here's the quick summary of steps:
Happy Valentine's Day!
My niece Julia, a college sophomore, was just initiated into Kappa Alpha Theta or "Theta" sorority. I wanted to surprise her with a gift and a handmade card {and, to me, a handmade card is also a gift!}. I bought this Greek alphabet die online and, frankly, it's sort of a piece of junk - most likely because it's not Stampin' Up! ;-) Did not cut well at all. Theta colors are gold and black so that's the color scheme I used for Julia's card. Clean and simple stamping. Everything except the die is Stampin' Up!
Congratulations Julia and your fellow pledge class! {I'm a Tri Sigma just like Carrie Underwood!}
With the Paper Doily Sizzlits Die (item 125592 & approximately 4-1/4" diameter.) you can now create the intricate designs you've grown to love with our Sizzlits Dies, in a new, larger size.
A few tips and tricks:
Other resources:
The most important thing to remember is that with the intricate delicacy and detail comes some added work. The larger Sizzlits dies require a bit more time to use than other dies and that there is a certain amount of hands-on effort involved in creating with these detailed designs. However, you will find with the gorgeous finished piece, the little bit of extra effort is totally worth it!
Here's a sample of what you can create with this die:
