Surprise!

 

Surprise, surprise!  Stampin' Up! is  offering a special release of five beautiful new Designer Series Paper options! These papers include fabulous holiday prints, gorgeous seasonal styles, and some spectacular timeless designs. 

Stampin' Up! originally created these papers to be part of our second Sale-A-Bration offering. However, since the next release of new Online Exclusive products won’t happen until November (and you won’t be able to find any of these papers in a catalog), we’ve adjusted our strategy and decided to release these paper options starting 6 September! That way, you  have the chance to get ahead on Christmas cards, seasonal crafts, and much more. These products are available while supplies last, so be sure to spread the good news—you don’t want to miss out!
