Urgent News!

This will be a 2nd post from me today, but I didn't want to wait until midnight to post it to give you plenty of time to order if you need to.

The news, directly from Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Trimmer Discontinuation

We have decided to retire the Stampin’ Trimmer as of June 3, 2019, including all accessories—replacement cutting blades, scoring blades, and cutting mats. We’ve experienced challenges with our supplier and are taking the opportunity to research and explore a replacement option for this product, which will not be the same as the current Stampin’ Trimmer.

There will be a gap in time between when the current Stampin’ Trimmer retires and when a new product becomes available, but we do not currently have an estimated timeframe. Once we feel confident in the new offering, we will communicate more details with you about the new product.

While the replacement cutting blades will also retire with the trimmer and will not be featured in the annual catalog, we have ordered what would normally be six months of inventory based on recent historical patterns to help demonstrators and customers during this transition away from our current trimmer. But please know that this news could cause faster inventory depletion.

When the retiring list goes live on April 15, the order limit for the blades will increase from three to six (and the limit will remain at six until they’re no longer available). And from now until September, we will receive intermittent shipments from the supplier. Throughout these months, we anticipate times when the blades will not be orderable (and not offered as a backorder).

During those downtimes, you and your customers will have the option to enter an email address to receive notification when the blades are available again.

I believe these blades will sell out quickly, so if you have and use this trimmer, you should absolutely plan on ordering replacement blades as soon as possible before they do sell out.

Price Increases
Stampin' Up! has also announced there will be a slight increase in some items in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  One of the areas that will increase is Cardstock and Paper. 

As you are probably aware times are taking a change with most correspondence going electronic.  Because of this, many paper mills have closed their doors and in turn paper prices have gone up. 

Stampin' Up! is committed to quality and at times have to re-evaluate their prices to remain lucrative as a business.  I'm pleased that  Stampin' Up! has given us a heads up to this increase, which allows us to stock up on our favorites now before the price increase.  Most companies would not give an advance notice on price increases.  Order that cardstock early!  I know I plan to!
