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
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!) Continue reading

Sneak Peak of Powder Pink
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

This is such a pretty set that I have used on a number of projects, with its little flower and leaf elements, you can build up a design and 3 lovely greetings in a lovely cursive font. I have one more card to share which features heat embossing with the copper embossing powder. Continue reading
