Mellie! I'm a Winnipeger too! So should get the watercolor crayons now??? Is the old packaging better? That's quite the price difference! What to do, what to do!?!:confused:
Thanks

Dream Come True is actually in the catty from the Winter mini, it's awsome ladies, you're gonna love it. I'm much more excited about this year's catty than I was last year!
Sicne I had already gone through my stamp sets and pulled those to be retired and those from the mini cattys to put on my retired shelf....I spent time tonight going through the list provided and un retiring a bunch of my sets...YEEHAH!!! It is so nice we are going to be able to use some of the favorites for another full year! Keep the new tidbits coming..;it is so exciting...!
there is chipboard pieces of letters and shapes (hearts and stars and stuff), don't know if that was mentioned. The Level 1 sets are much nicer this year too, one is a tag set which is really cute, a spider, bunny, sewing one. Oh and the new tag punch box is awsome! They have new punches too, two that cute the ovals for the hodgepodge hardware pieces
Any questions let me know, I'll be up for a little bit...too much to check out
Alot of US demo's on the Stampin' Discuss are complaining because Canada is getting the catalogues first. You know what??? Personally I don't care who gets the catties first, US or Canada. All I know is that if I don't get my catty by the July long weekend, I WILL have a nervous breakdown! And I completely agree that it shouldn't matter if non-demo's find out what's in the catties before demos, they are just as excited as Demos are, and they WILL order alot of product.
I just say thank goodness someone got them to feed the beast! I love/hate this time of the year. I wanna know so bad what's in there, get a little tease from SCS & then start stalking my demo! Of course, she is my dd so no charges can be filed on me :rolleyes:
Any US SU demos got their catty, yet? I'm a stay at home mom and can't afford a huge jump in crayon price. The $60 set is a huge indulgence for me. Anyone know how much the 4 families will cost here July 1? Thanks so much!
Canadian Demo friends!
Did you get your boxes of reorders or did you get your 1 sample copy?
I'm asking for selfish reasons (lol). my preorder boxes come via UPS and UPS won't deliver on saturday. My sample copy will come in the mail and maybe there is a CHANCE (crossing fingers) that I will get it today?????
Thanks for the sneek peak.... I was wondering if someone could confirm the cost of the watercolor crayons ie: how much $$ per family...and is SU giving a deal if you but all 4 color families together??? Canadian prices please.
I would just like to say that I am a customer and loved reading this post that some people got the catty's and what they shared with the rest of us. I personally am very excited for the new catalogue and can't wait to get it from my demo next week.
It is still exciting to get the hard copy though but I loved reading about the little sneak peak of what is in it.
Hey Alesha
I have a few customers that are also concerned about the watercolor crayons
How much? How are they packaged?
I appreciate the updates! I live in NC and am anxiously waiting for my copy
I just say thank goodness someone got them to feed the beast!
Amen!
And TFS...I think the spoilers are a blast!

Why did she make things? Well, she enjoyed it, of course; it also somehow helped her remember who she was and where she came from.
The watercolor crayons are $28.95 per package for the color families and $13.95 for the neutrals, the prices of everything went down a little bit pretty well, jumbo wheels for example went from $11.50 to $10.95, the small ones from $8.50 to $8.25 and all of the stamp sets went down a dollar or two, depending on how expensive it was before
There's some nice new envelopes too, don't know if anyone mentioned that, some long ones, and the little envelopes that went with the note cards in the Winter mini, no note cards that I've seen though, but we can make those ourselves anyway
I would send it to you but I don't think we're allowed to scan anything from the book, I love it, I think it's really nice. I ripped the box open at the mailbox because I wanted to know what I was going to have to look at all year. Five of us demos got together last night to look through the catty and I think 4 of us liked it a lot and one just thought it was okay.
The back cover and left side are covered with one of the new patterned papers (very nice paper by the way), it's like an antique looking moss/burgandy/vanilla (a little dirty looking if you know what I mean) and the samples on the front are really nice, I think so anyway, uses the new chipboard pieces on one of them, there's a 6x6 page, a card and a box with the chipboard piece that holds cards
Sorry for my explaination, I ramble, reason why I shouldn't be a teacher
There's only white Mulberry paper this time, there's new brass templates though:
Seeing Spots - like the On the Spot background, and there's a flower in it like the punch but with a few more petals
Finest Flurishes - don't know how to explain it, looks like it would be something made from a pieve of iron or something, along the same lines as Timeworn Trim type stuff, there's a stamp set that matches it. Maybe I could explain it better if it actually appealed to me
Bodacious Bouquet - similar I find to the Island Blossoms, has some big flowers with leaves and hose things that stick out of the flowers (now you know I shouldn't be a gardener either
Love It - matches the hostess set Love It
Then there's Simply Circles, Wonderful Words, Snowflakes and Shapes
Can anyone tell me if the tag punch in the new catty is the one that will fit Too Terrific Tags and if it is sold on its own? I got that set at sell-a-bration in the hopes that they would put the punch in the new catty, but never got the big kit bc I didn't love the tag stamps that came with it. Love the Too Terrific Tags, though!
TIA!!!

This question is for those lucky demo's who have already received their new Stampin Up Bible - did you actually have a UPS tracking number displayed in your Shipment History or did it still show "Submitted to Supplier" ??

Did I miss any of the previous questions?
I did want to point out in case someone didn't notice. These are Canadian prices. Most of their prices went down. As far as I know, no one in the US has received their catties yet so we don't know about our prices yet. I didn't want anyone to get too excited about the prices going down and then find out they didn't..........or *gasp* they went up.

I thought I read that the tag punch will be in the catty alone...not sold in a kit. The new buckle shaped punch is in a kit with matching stamps and spots!
This has been so fun to read this morning! I got a speeding ticket yesterday (dumb thing for a woman of my age) and have been feeling really bummed and kind of stupid so this has been such a joy. Last year's catty didn't overly thrill me, but I'm excited about this one!!
I was wondering if paper prices were going up when a US demo finds the answer I'd love to know. I use SU cs for everything from cards to scrapbooking so would like to stock up a little if I need to.
Thanks to all the ladies who have shared!!!

the old punch is alone, the new one is in a box like the old one. My shipment didn't come UPS this time and there was no tracking number on it through the website.

I have a feeling the paper is going up. That was one thing in the Canadian catty that did go up when almost everything else went down. This is just my speculation though.
THANK YOU sooo much for sharing the tidbits about NEW CATTIE!! I'm excited about it arriving some time this coming week. I always take the cattie to bed with me!! LOL.
How was your order shipped? Postal or another carrier? My catalogs were shipped Wed. and I can't wait? Has anyone received their free one yet or are they all the preordered cases?
A huge *Thank You* to all you Canadian Demos who have so generously described products from the new catty. I love these little hints ~ just makes me more and more excited to get the catty in my hands!
