Colorful Seasons and Tranquil Tide

Posted on June 25, 2017 | Leave a comment

The 5th and final of the new 2017 – 2019 In-colors is Tranquil Tide, the name itself sounds calming and relaxing.  It is a very deep ‘blue’ based green which I think will make a very interesting Christmas green – one I shall try out a little nearer the time!. Once again, I have paired it with Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla but as I write this I am thinking Sahara Sand would also make a great combination. Continue reading →

Decorated Sticky Notes ~ video

Posted on June 23, 2017 | Leave a comment

Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper was launched in the 2017 – 2018 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog, it has all of the new In-colors,8 sheets of each of the 5 colors – that is 40 sheets of 12 x 12 paper to play with!

At the beginning of June I held my new catalog launch where I invite all my customers to come ooohhh and aaahhh over the new products, do some make and takes (using new products) and get their own copy of the new catalog.  As a thank you to them for shopping with me throughout the year and for coming to the launch I gave each of them a decorated pad of sticky notes (plus a pen) so they could mark all their favorites ready to add to their wish lists!

Colorful Seasons with Fresh Fig

Posted on June 21, 2017 | Leave a comment

The 4th of the new 2017 – 2019 In-colors is Fresh Fig, a rich and  mellow jewel tone color.  While it works very well with neutrals I was surprised to find that it was the perfect foil for brighter colors such as Crushed Curry… who would have thought it! Continue reading →

Colorful Seasons with Berry Burst

Posted on June 17, 2017 | 2 comments

This is the third of the 5 new In-Colors launched on June 1st ~ Berry Burst is a really vibrant magenta color that I paired with Smoky Slate, which allow the Berry Burst to ‘burst’ out as a focal color.

All the cards I am sharing that introduce the new 2017 – 2018 In-colors,  have been made using the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set which literally has Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter images with a selection of greetings in a lovely font.  Better yet – it has a coordinating Thinlets Die set (if you buy the bundle – you get 10% discount!)

Sneak Peak of Powder Pink

Posted on May 29, 2017 | Leave a comment

Thursday June 1st the new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live and with it our new In-colors.  Stampin’ Up has a palette of 40 colors and neutrals but every year we get 5 new colors which are with us for 2 years and then they are gone.  I am sad when one set retires but excited that we will have something new to play with.  As a demonstrator I get my hands on the new colors before they are launched and because I was able to go to the Demonstator event known as ‘On-Stage’ at the beginning of April I have had some of the new goodies in my hands for nearly 2 months ~ which has given me a chance to have a really good play with them and I shall be sharing more over the coming weeks.

But today a card giving a sneak peak of one of the new in-colors ~ Powder Pink Continue reading →
