Good Morning Fellow Stampers !
It's Tuesday! Whew! Can you believe the "flurry" this past weekend? I hope you took advantage of Online Extravaganza, and most importantly our Free Shipping Event yesterday - something that does not come along very often with Stampin' Up! We will settle into the end of the year and the holiday season now. With the Holiday Occasions catalog winding down, we are now focusing on the soon coming 2018 Spring Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration! Wooo Hooo - so hard to believe really! I hope I can inspire you with some last Christmas ideas and projects. And soon, if you are on my mailing list, you will have a new catalog to curl up with and enjoy and dream and plan! So stay tuned! We have lots of fun on the way. Let's round up all the going's on at Stampin' Up! and talk a little bit about what's coming soon!
PAPER PUMPKIN . . . SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT!!
We haven't talked about Paper Pumpkin in awhile! There was so much excitement around the coordinated October/November Pining for Plaid/Back In Plaid kits. In fact, those turned out to be our most popular kits in the history of Paper Pumpkin!! With good reason! Check out the video below to see what you missed out on this month:
I'm so excited about this month's kit!! A D O R A B L E!! I hope you were part of the "surge" that ordered these past two months and are enjoying the full benefits of Paper Pumpkin!!
Were you, like me, part of the 4% that ended up "backordered" on your November Paper Pumpkin kit? That's the side-effect of being soooo popular!! LOL So, here are some important updates for all Paper Pumpkin subscribers as to status of October and November kits, kit refills, etc., . . .
October Past Kit Back Orders
We have good news! We have received the additional inventory required to fulfill backorders associated with the October past kit. We will be shipping out these orders between November 28-30.
November Backorders
November backorders remain on schedule to ship out between December 5 and December 11, as previously stated. We are not expecting anything to delay the fulfillment of backorders beyond this timeframe. If anything changes, we will let you know.
Paper Pumpkin November 2nd Billing November 30, 2017
We have received questions regarding the second billing for November. Normally, we run a second billing on the 20th of each month for those whose payment failed on the 1st billing. However, due to the lack of inventory, we delayed the second billing, pending the arrival of additional inventory. Due to system restraints, we are unable delay the second billing past November 30. Therefore, the second billing will run on November 30.
Because the second billing will run before we receive additional inventory, those accounts successfully billed during the second billing will be placed on back order status until we receive additional inventory. We can confirm that backorders associated with the second billing will ship by December 11. If anything changes, we will let you know.
Paper Pumpkin November Past Kits and Refills
Due to the November Paper Pumpkin back orders, we will not be offering refills of the November kit. Our first priority is to fill backorders. Once backorders are filled, we will determine if there is sufficient inventory to offer a November past kit. We will provide another update on 12/12 regarding any November past kit offer.

BUILD UP THE BEAUTY . . .
The Season Like Christmas stamp set is perfect for stampers who want the flexibility to create something simple and cute, while also having elements that lend well to a more intricate or advanced design. I've been itching to ink up this stamp set, and we'll be playing with it a little bit more later this week!
This is a layered set that can be used to create dimensions within your card. By stamping the trees in darker and lighter shades, you can create a forest wonderland, as in the sample above.
Whether you use all the items and make a detailed and extravagant card (my style -- LOL), or simply choose your favorite to make a simple gift tag, you are sure to end up with a beautiful and festive creation. Be sure to check it out in my Online Store; and order today before it's too late!!
THE YEAR-END SALES EVENT IS COMING SOON!!
We're wishing 2017 a fond farewell by throwing a Year-End Sales Event in its honor! In just a few short days, you'll be smiling over special deals on select retiring and surplus items while supplies last.
The Year-End Sales Event will run from December 1, 2017, to January 2, 2018, and supplies are limited. So stay tuned!! -- And get read to shop shop shop!
Until Next Time . . .
