Catalog Announcement

Stampin Up announced a few weeks ago that they are changing the catalogs. The current Idea Book & Catalog will expire May 31, 2012.  Here are the details:

Annual Catalog

• The annual catalog will run from June 1, 2012 (preorder in May) through May 31, 2013.
• The annual catalog will be reduced from over 240 pages in the current Idea Book & Catalog to 208 pages.
• The annual catalog will be printed on lighter-weight paper.
• The annual catalog will cost $15.00 US

Mini Catalogs

There are also changes to mini catalogs.  The Occasions, Summer, and Holiday Mini Catalogs will be replaced by two seasonal catalogs called the Holiday Catalog and the Spring Catalog.

• The first Holiday Catalog will run from August 1, 2012 (preorder in July). through the beginning of January, 2013
• The first Spring Catalog will run from the beginning of January, 2013 (preorder in December) through May 31, 2013.

The seasonal catalogs will be larger in both size (8 1/2" x 11") and page count (about 40 pages) than the current mini catalogs.

Another note worthy bit of information is that the Decor Elements and Simply Adorned lines are being discontinued. Here is SU's comment on this:
"Why are you discontinuing Décor Elements and Simply Adorned?A: We love these products as much as anyone! However, the past years have proved that these lines are simply not strong sellers overall. Discontinuing these lines enables us to 1) decrease the cost of the annual catalog for you, and 2) focus on popular products that enhance papercrafting as well as help you increase your sales."
