Annual Catalog Items Which Have Gone On Backorder or Not Orderable Status

Stampin' Up!™ tries to forecast how well products will sell, but that really is just guesswork! Sometimes products sell much better than expected. When that happens some products may go on backorder or even go into Not Orderable status while Stampin' Up!™ waits for additional inventory to arrive. Unfortunately because of the pandemic, there are also manufacturing and shipping challenges around the world which is making re-stocking even more difficult.

Stampin' Up!™ let Demonstrators know that the following individual items in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog are currently selling at higher rates than forecasted and are in backorder or Not Orderable status.

Corrections to July-December 2021 Mini Catalog

As you start to receive your copy of the Mini Catalog, please be aware of a couple of corrections that need to be made.  Anytime a publication as large as the catalog is created, a few mistakes creep in. Here are the corrections necessary for the July-December Mini Catalog:

• Overall - Items in the catalog can only be ordered starting August 3.  Stampin' Up! had intended for the catalog to go live in July, but problems arose with getting many items because of the pandemic and shipping issues.  Stampin' Up! didn't want to have to label items as unavailable because of supply issues, so they pushed back the starting date for ordering from this catalog until August 3.
• Page 14 - The measurement of the largest punched image printed in the catalog for the Starlit Punch (item 156380) is wrong. It shows 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" (3.8 x 3.8 cm), but the correct measurement is 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" (4.4 x 3.8 cm).

Corrections to 2021-2022 Annual Catalog

Anytime a publication as large as the annual catalog is created, a few mistakes creep in.  Here are some corrections to make to your copy of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog:

• Page 101 - The Etched In Nature Stamp Set (item 155463) will never be available to order because of issues with the artwork that could not be reconciled.
• Page 107 - Two of the birdhouses in the Garden Birdhouses Photopolymer Stamp Set (item 155090) are shown facing the wrong direction: the tall skinny birdhouse shown on the upper left is actually facing to the right, the tall bird house with the fancy roof shown on the bottom left is actually facing to the left.
• Page 127 - The description for the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (item 155501) says it includes 20 printed envelope liners.  There are no liners.
• Page 132 - The description for the In Good Taste 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper (item 152494) says it uses the Rococo Rose color, this should just be listed as pink.
• Page 135 - The description for the Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (item 154574) is missing measurements and lists an incorrect color.  The correct description for this product is:  Beautiful color on one side; silver on the other side. 4 sheets: 1 each of 2 designs in 2 colors. 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm).
  Highland Heather, pink
• Page 137 - The Mini Jam Jars (item 155685) are food safe, however, they were not tested with hot items.  Food items should be allowed to cool completely before adding them to the Mini Jam Jars.
• Page 140 - The description fro the Simply Elegant Trim (item 155766) fails to mention that it includes 10 yards of EACH color of trim.
• Page 143 - The description for the Pastel Pearls (item 154571) says it uses the Rococo Rose color, this should just be listed as pink.
• Page 145 - The catalog states that the price of the Standard Stamp Cases (item 119105) is $10. This is incorrect. The correct price is $8.
• Page 159 - The catalog states that the item number of the Hydrangea Dies is 158210. This is incorrect. The correct item number is 154326.
