Quick summary of announcements made at Convention…

Every year at Convention Demos try to guess what will be the "Big" Announcements made by Shelli (Co-Founder of Stampin' Up!). In my wildest dreams I would not have guessed their partnership with Sizzix. But I am super excited about it.
Here are the major announcements Shelli made this year…

• The premiere of Stampin'Up!'s newest product line – the Sizzix Big Shot with exclusive Stampin'Up! dies. Yes, we will be carrying the Sizzix Big Shot starting in September. I will be sharing more information soon.
• 24/7 online ordering. Starting this Fall customers can order Stampin'Up! product directly online.
• Celebrando Creatividad,
  a catalog supplement featuring spanish language stamp sets, will
  premiere along with the new SU! catalog August 11th. There will also be
  spanish versions of Stampin'Up's website and demonstrator website.
• Shelli's Signature Collection will
  launch this fall. This collection spans the entire Stampin'Up! product
  line and includes Stampin'Up! co-founder Shelli Gardner's favorite
  products and some that she personally played a part in developing.
• Decor Elements Phase 2 – We
  got to see a sneak peek at some of the new Decor Elements that will be
  available this fall. In addition to new images, phase 2 will also offer
  new colors. Many of the new images are holiday related and will be
  available to customers beginning October 1st.
• Country Living partnership
  – For the second year Stampin'Up! will partner with Country Living
  magazine to offer an exclusive holiday kit. The kit will include
  stamps, designer paper, and accessories; and will be featured in a 20
  page spread in the magazine's December issue.
• SoShelli.com – Stampin'Up! cofounder Shelli Garnder has started her own personal blog. Here is the link. You can visit her blog to find gift and project ideas, and a personal look at Shelli's family activites.

How is that for starters. There is so much planned for the coming year. I hope you will check back often so you won't miss anything.

I will be posting pictures starting tomorrow ~
