Sale-A-Bration: More Items Available

Since Stampin' Up! announced that Blendabilities are no longer available as a Sale-A-Bration redemption item (or for purchase due to quality issues), Stampin' Up! have anticipated that the demand on other Sale-A-Bration items will be higher than forecasted.

For this reason, all Sale-A-Bration items (with the exception of stamps) will be available "while supplies last".  

To help alleviate any inconvenience this may cause, Stampin' Up! have made more items available to redeem for free during these last few weeks of Sale-A-Bration.
