Tuesday Tidbits

BLENDABILITIES UPDATE:  Recently Stampin’ Up! has noticed quality issues with the Blendabilities product line. Due to the nature of the defect, Stampin’ Up! has concluded that difficulties, dissatisfaction, and product returns will only become more widespread. The manufacturer is unable to correct the problem in a manner that Stampin’ Up! is certain would meet their high quality standards and provide us with a stable, long-term solution. Therefore, after a great deal of deliberation and in order to prevent further disappointment, the Blendabilities product line has been discontinued.  We know how disappointing this is, but I’m proud of a company who will pull a product that is not meeting their expectations.

SALE-A-BRATION CONTINUES:  There are just 3 weeks left of this fantastic sale, so get in on it now!  Due to the Blendabilities not being able to be taken as a free Sale-A-Bration gift, Stampin’ Up! is estimating that we may run out of non-stamp set items more quickly than projected.  For this reason, all non-stamp set items are available only while supplies last.  If you’re planning to take advantage of the Sale-A-Bration sale this month, don’t delay in getting your order in!

My most favorite new product in a while happens to be one of the new Sale-A-Bration gifts announced this month.  It’s the Sheer Perfection Designer Vellum Stack.  Here are a couple of cards made with this pretty paper.

NEW PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET:  Just released – Just Kidding stamp set!  Here are the stamps contained in this set:
