One of my dear friends has just left work, and is moving out of town We wish her luck, but wish she was going to still be around, instead of 3,000 kms away.

I put together a ‘large’ farewell card for everyone at work to sign. I used a 12 x 12 piece of old olive, and decorated with rich razzleberry, as well as the matching cottage designer paper. The ‘farewell’ was done using the big shot and the timeless alphabet. Look how many signatures are on it!! The back was covered too!! She is definitely well loved. We also decorated the gift with the same colour scheme.

SU are excited to bring to you a new world of colour in Stampin’ Up!’s Colour Renovation. For over two years, it has done extensive research including investigating colour trends in the fashion, home décor, and crafting industries, and have conducted focus groups involving demonstrators, customers, and Stampin’ Up! experts. SU has found that it was time to update our colours so that you have a fresh, on-trend colour palette to work with! SU has learned from our successful In Color programme that you love getting new colours.

The new colour palette is organized into four collections:
Subtles;
Brights;
Regals; and
Neutrals.

You will see 25 of our current colours remaining, and ten past In Colors returning as core colours, and the addition of five new core colours. Check the colour charts to see what the new collections look like, and what colours will be retiring.

New In Color Programme
One part of our Colour Renovation that we’re sure you’re going to love is the new In Color programme! Each year we will introduce five new In Colors, and they will remain for two years. This means that the 2010-2011 In Colors will be introduced this year, but will not be retired until the 2012-2013 colours are introduced. This year there will be only be five In Colors, but after that, we will always have ten (the previous year’s plus the new). Look for a later announcement on this year’s In Colors.

Resources
Below are the resources we’ve provided to help you see and understand the colour transition. Because the new colours will not be introduced until the new catalogue in September, more information to help you with the transition will be posted as that comes closer. All Stampin’ Up! markets will now have all the same colours.

Colour Chart: Fond Farewell

Just a quick update. Normally when product was in a mini, it is no longer available once the mini ends, and is deemed ‘dormant’, which means it can’t be ordered, until if/when it gets into the main catalogue, which is due out in September. The above products have been in the Spring or Summer minis, and is STILL available (as ‘carry over’ product) !! I was worried there was a few people out there that missed out on that wonderful butterfly punch. If you were after the matching butterfly stamps in the Summer Mini, it is too late to order them, but the punch also coordinates with ‘Flight of the Butterfly’ in the main catalogue! How kewl! Let me know if you want/need to order any of these things!!

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you’re ready for the ESAD Blog Hop! Better go grab yourself a cuppa as you’ll be hopping for a while!

The blog before mine, belongs to Andrea Buckland. If you haven’t already visited her, please click here and go back.

Hope you enjoy my blog entries!  You’ll see I love our new bird punch, as well as the new incolour – rich razzleberry! Here are some descriptions of the projects:

1 & 1 a. Fold up photo book/album (it’s the larger version). Let me know if you would like the instructions and I’ll email them through when I finalise the tutorial. Rich Razzleberry is featured with the new designer paper cottage garden (I LOVE this paper).  I have made the letters by using an alphabet die through the big shot!! Great for scrapbooking. Bird punch, and finished with rich razzleberry ribbon.

2. Get well wishes is from the new teeny tiny sentiments stamp set, it’s soooo versatile. I think I can use it instead of nearly all of my sentment stamps. The bird is our bird punch, with the wing being punched out of designer cottage paper, and the branch out of old olive. The background has been run through the big shot with the perfect polka dots embossing folder. Rich razzleberry ribbon, and the label behind is also a die from a set called ‘lots of tags’.

 3. This is a card focused directly on our new in colour, rich razzlebe rry. It teams up beautifully with old olive and the matching designer paper. I have used the ‘happy birthday’ on the side from teeny tiny sentiments, and layered up the card, using a non-SU castle die.  I also used an alphabet diet set for the name ‘Arley’. Dazzlin’ diamonds, stampin dimensionals and the 2way glue pen have also been used.

4. This card has been made using melon mambo (another new in colour), and the new stamp set (and matching roller) called Vintage Vogue. Gorgeous set. I have played with the flowers by stamping them, then dry embossing them onto a soft piece of foam, to make the flowers 3 dimensional.  Sentiment is also from the same set.

5. Another bird punch card! Simple, but elegant. I have layered the bird’s wing to give it additional effect. Colours are night of navy, bashful blue, and whisper white. Sentiment stamped in night of navy, it’s also out of the new teeny tiny sentiments set.

6. hmmm… another bird punch card!! Colours are melon mambo, old olive, close to cocoa. Melon mambo matching ribbon finishes off the card.

7. Pony party! That’s the name of the stamp set. In the background, is the ‘top note’ die which has been created, using the big shot machine. What a cute little girl’s set. It also comes with a party hat, unicorn horn.. and loads of other stuff!

Our Summer mini catalogue finishes on 31 March, as does the opportunity to select one free sale-a-bration stamp set for every $100 you spend on products.

The stamp set on the right is from one of the gorgeous sale-a-bration sets. I’ve teamed it up with ballet blue, whisper white, and night of navy. I’ve coloured the present using ballet blue water colour crayon. Happy birthday sentiment is from the same sale-a-bration set.

The gorgeous butterfly punch and matching stamp set may not be available again until September (assuming it makes it to the new Ideas Book and Catalogue). So if there is anything in the Summer mini, or you wish to place an order so you get a free sale-a-bration set, please contact me asap. I will be putting in my final order of the month at 7pm on 30 March.

Gee, I think I’ve got a blue theme happening!

This GORGEOUS bird is a punch from the new winter/autumn mini which goes on sale 1 April. It cuts the bird, the branch, and the bird’s wing, all in one swoop.

The ‘with sympathy’ is also from a fabulous new stamp set (which has most sentiments you could ever want in ONE stamp set) called teeny tiny sentiments. Not only can you buy it on our normal woodern mounts, you can also buy it in the new range of clear mount stamps coming out 1 April.

How excitement!!

Here’s a set I recently made a friend who turned 30. She is a ‘pink’ girl, so I’m hoping she enjoyed her pressie.

Not only did I make a post it note pad holder, and covered a 2 year monthly calendar in matching colours/paper, I also used the same colour scheme to gift wrap the pressie. The card is also pink themed, but slightly different pink!

I’ve even given you a sneak peek on the card. Does anyone know what it is? A new product we’ll be seeing a bit of after 1 April!!

Let me know if you like it. 

I recently wanted to make a number of small ‘thank you’ cards for my customers. Here’s a couple of the designs I came up with. I’ve used the scallop punch to make the flowers (2-4 layers of coordinating colours, with top layer cut into the middle), and a rhinestone brad for the flower centre. Thank you stamp is from one of the current sale-a-bration sets. Paper again is from the Bella Rose designer paper.

Card and envelopes are from our ‘love notes’ set. The set consists of 10 cards and 10 envelopes, of fabulous SU quality!

One of my dear friends has recently turned 40. She loves every handmade card I’ve made her. This one is fairly plain, utilising incolours kiwi kiss, red riding hood, bella rose designer paper, and of course matching satin ribbon, and the numbers were cut using a die cut system. I’ve covered the numbers with glue pen and dazzlin’ diamonds. The sides of the card layers have been ‘distressed’ using the SU cutting tool (distressing edge).
