Have you been loving the Butterfly Thinlits?  I LOVE how pretty the delicate shapes are from the dies like on this card I made with the Red Glimmer Paper:

And I will say (even though I totally forgot to get a picture before I gave away all my swaps) that I really enjoy how EASY it is to put together a card with the Butterfly Basics stamp set.  Seriously, it looks like an ok stamp set in the catalog, but when you start playing with it, cards start coming together really quickly!  Here is one that I was sent recently (and it got a little crinkled in the mail!

Well, I know a bunch of folks missed out when it was available at the beginning of the year and Stampin’ Up knows how frustrated everyone has been with the dies and the discounted bundle being out of stock for so long due to the dock workers strike that was going on recently, especially if you were hoping to get the bundle and earn Sale-a-Bration benefits with it!  So, because Stampin’ Up is awesome – they are offering a special “thank you for your patience” deal as soon as the dies show up in their warehouse and go on sale.  Check it out:

The dies are expected in the warehouse TODAY and should be available for purchase on WEDNESDAY (April 15th)!

Everyone has been eagerly awaiting the return of these dies, so while they should be getting a lot in, I would make sure to order yours early to make sure you don’t have a bit of a wait in line as everyone makes a run on them!  

So, you can either:

• Watch for my “The Dies Are Here!” post with links to purchase in the online store – and get my 3 card samples bonus as a thank you for ordering from me!
  OR
• Email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com with your information and I’ll place the order for you as soon at they go live & mail your card samples out to you as a thank you!  I will just need your shipping information and either a credit card or paypal email address for an invoice.

And if you are still on the fence, here are a couple more ideas for you:
