Color Renovation

As you may already know, Stampin' Up! is doing a major renovation of their color families. This is the biggest color change they've made in a very long time (if ever). They are moving colors around, changing the names of the families (will now be called Collections), bringing in 5 new colors, bringing back 10 previously discontinued In Colors, and retiring 30 colors! Wow!

The new palette, which i think is gorgeous, can be seen below. Also below is the list of retiring colors. These colors are guaranteed to be available until the end of May. After that they will be available only as supplies last, until the end of June. So if there is a color you just can't craft without, be sure to contact me to order a pack or three of cardstock and a re-inker or two so you will be all set for life. :)

Technique class this week!

There are a few seats available at my technique class this week, so let me know if you'd like to join us! Here are photos of the projects we'll be making (2 cards and a bookmark). See below for details!

This is the third class being offered in a series of “beyond the basics” technique classes.

Have fun making a supply of hand-stamped cards, for much less than you would spend at your local card store! There’s no other purchase required – just come to my house and make your six cards. This is a great option for those who don’t have many supplies, or who don’t want to place any orders right now.

Feeling Springy!

The weather has been beautiful for the last few days, and i've really been enjoying getting outside more (without bundling up, that is). I really hope we have a nice long spring season this year. I don't enjoy the heat of summer, so i don't like it when we go right from winter to summer. Hopefully the springtime will stick around for at least a month or two this year!

So i finally got around to playing with my sticky cuts and glitter, which i've had for at least a few months and hadn't even opened the packages. What a fun and quick way to add glitter to a project! Here's what i came up with.


All supplies from Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.

Stamp set: Enjoy Every Moment
Cardstock: Cameo Coral, Taken with Teal, Barely Banana, Whisper White
Ink: Taken with Teal, Cameo Coral marker
Tools: Bone folder, Modern Label punch, Craft & Paper Scissors
Adhesive: Snail, Dimensionals
Other: Sticky Cuts "Sweet", Stampin' Glitter (Fine Supernova & Fine Galaxy), Whisper White grosgrain ribbon
