We are one week away from the release of Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog.  That means it’s time for me to introduce you to my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books.  Yay!

Does your heart go pitter-patter when you flip through a new catalog for the first time?  Does the excitement of ordering new products make you smile?  Do you get teary-eyed when you unpack your boxes of brand new Stampin’ Up! goodies?  Well, today might be your day!  It’s time for me to roll out my Product Shares and Designer Series Paper Swatch Books for Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Holiday Catalog.  What fun!  This catalog is packed with amazing, new products – and I’m thrilled to share them with you.

Product Shares

With the launch of each catalog, I host product shares that give you the opportunity to take the amazing papers, ribbons and accessories for a test drive before you decide which ones you can’t live without – and there are A LOT of new items you can’t live without.  What is a product share?  Here’s a little cartoon I created a while back to help explain how a product share works:

Read down the first column and then down the second.

What is a Product Share?, Stampin' Up!, Brian KingDoes that help?  I thought it would.  🙂

Now that you are fully versed on what shares are, here’s how the process works:

  • Sign up for a spot in one (or more) of the product shares (registration form at the base of this post).
  • I will bill you through PayPal when all seats in your share are filled.
  • On September 1, I’ll place an order for the closed out (& paid) shares.
  • Once I receive the product, I’ll quickly divide it up and ship it straight to you.
  •  I will smile, and you will smile.  We’ll be very happy.

I can’t wait for you to take part in these shares – trust me when I say you’ll WANT IT ALL, and it’s worth every penny.  Here are my 2017 HOLIDAY Catalog Product Share offerings in a tidy, printable .pdf:

The “I Want it All Share” includes all of the items from the Select New Designer Series Papers share, the Select New Ribbons & Embellishments share and the Designer Series Swatch Books – at a $5 savings – all with free shipping.  In addition, every I Want it All Share will receive a free gift from me (along with my undying affection)!

Here are peeks at the products you’ll receive in each share:

  1. Love your swatch books. After ordering them for the 1st time for the 2017/18 catalog, I said I was hooked and would order them everytime going forward. They are an useful tool to plan ahead but to also do smart shopping.

  2. Your swatch books are the best, Brian! I already have people asking when they will be here! Thanks for your attention to detail. You’re awesome!

  3. I love the swatch book idea, have not seen them before!. Do you have a swatch book of all the current papers?

    • Hi Mary! Thank you for your interest! They are handy little reference guides. I love mine! I sold them for the Annual Catalog in June and am considering opening them back up with these shares. The Annual Catalog books are $35. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks!

  4. Thanks, Brian!
    I love these books to take to classes. You are right.. they order more if they can touch them. When I ordered it says you want to place your order by June 1st. Please order before then! 🙂

    • Thanks so much for the comment, Debbie! I, too, love that they are so portable. I’m glad that they help you sell more DSP – score! I’ve updated the verbiage on the followup (thanks for the heads-up). <3

  5. Great shares, as usual, can’t wait to share with my customers. A bigger/actual look at DSP’s always is a plus for demonstrators. Thanks so much for doing this.

    • Thanks so much, Roxanne! There’s nothing like a first-hand look at these papers. The catalog showcases as best it can, but these books put the papers in people’s hands. I’m so glad you like them!

  6. YAHOO! Signed up and paid for! Although I already have most of this paper, I always get Brian’s swatch books because the catalog photos do not do the papers justice. It’s so great to see them in person. My paper sales increase when everyone sees them in person. And since YOU do it Brian…I don’t have to! Totally worth it to me. Hugs, my friend. XO

    • Thanks so much for this valuable feedback, Bobbi! I’m more than happy to make these and am glad they help with your sales. Thanks for ordering the books and for leaving this great comment.

  7. so how big are the sheets in the swatches?

    • Hi Beverley, The Designer Series Paper Swatch Books are 3″ wide and 6-1/2″ long. The shortest page on those is 5-1/4″. The Quilted Christmas stack and Year of Cheer Specialty are 3″ wide and 6″ long. I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have questions.

  8. Is the music paper still available?
