The 2018-2019 new catalog is here!

Well it’s finally here! I LOVE the new catalog! I feel like I say this more often than not, but this year I really do love it! I already said in a previous post how much I love the Color Revamp! Stampin’ Up! has hit it out of the park! I can’t get over how much I love them. I have not felt the same in prior color revamps.

But also, there are some awesome stamp sets, and specifically so many great BUNDLES! I love cutting out the images and now there are even more dies to match the stamp sets. These are such a great value to me, as I can use them over and over!

Be sure to check out the new catalog – I think you’ll like it, too.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Returning, and leaving

My card measures 3 1/2″ x 5″. I did use a card I’d seen a couple of years ago as my inspiration, but cannot get to the website any longer, as it looks like the blog has been discontinued. 😦

The returning item on this card is the card stock color, Mint Macaron! That’s great news! The Mint Macaron lace trim will not be returning, however, the inks and markers will.  There will be a couple of accessories in that color as well.

The “leaving” items are the Butterfly Basics stamp set, the Butterflies Thinlits, Petal Passion DSP (from the Occasions Catalog), and Delicate White Doilies. See below for more info on retiring items, and check out this prior post of mine for returning and new colors! If you want to shop for any of the retiring items, check the links below – but hurry, as they are only available until 5/31/18 or while supplies last!

From the Heart, multi-use card

I feel like this sentiment, From the Heart, can be used for several occasions. In this case, I added a “get well” sentiment on the inside.

I CASEd this card because well – it’s amazing! My card is 3 1/2″ x 5″. I colored the flowers & bird with the Stampin’ Blends. They work well because the Petal Palette stamp set also has a watercolor look it. It’s another favorite stamp set of mine – made even better with coordinating thinlit dies! You can still get the bundle and save 10%! Although the stamp set and dies will also be in the new catalog (coming in June!), the bundle price will retire on May 31st. So if they are on your list, you can save some money by getting them now!

SU! Color Revamp! (and it’s GOOD!)

As you may know, Stampin’ Up! revamps their colors every few years to stay “on trend”. Well, this is the year. Usually I am not a big fan of these color changes, BUT this year, Oh my – I really, really approve! Sure, there are a couple of colors I’ll really miss, but overall for me this is hands down the best change they’ve ever done in my 10+ years of being a demonstrator. I’m super excited!

THE DETAILS

There are still four color collections, each with ten colors. There is also a new color group called Basics.

In order to keep our color collections to exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors, we moved Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Whisper White out of the Neutrals collection. We’ve also moved a few colors into the Neutrals collection, making it more exciting and colorful!

Some additional colors have changed collections as well—you’ll notice this as you look through the new collections below. You can refer to the old and new color charts in the 2018-2019 catalog. These changes were based on needing to maintain color balance in our updated collections. For example, Poppy Parade is now the brightest red so it is part of the Brights collection.

IN COLORS

There are no changes to the In Color program. Every two years we will continue to introduce five new In Colors that will be available for the ensuing two years.

We also have previous In Colors that are returning and joining our core colors:

• Mossy Meadow
• Poppy Parade
• Flirty Flamingo
• Coastal Cabana
• Mint Macaron
• Blackberry Bliss

IN COLORS

THE NEW COLORS

NEW COLOR COLLECTIONS

RETIRING COLORS

On May 31, 2018, thirteen colors are retiring.

• Always Artichoke
• Chocolate Chip
• Elegant Eggplant
• Island Indigo
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Pink Pirouette
• Rose Red
• Soft Sky
• Tangerine Tango
• Tempting Turquoise
• Wild Wasabi
• Wisteria Wonder

The retiring 2016-2018 In Colors are:

• Dapper Denim
• Emerald Envy
• Flirty Flamingo*
• Peekaboo Peach
• Sweet Sugar Plum

*Please note that while Flirty Flamingo is retiring as an In Color, it will continue to be available as part of our core color collection.

RETIRING COLORS PRODUCT RESOURCE

Whenever colors are retired, there is always some confusion about the status of various products in those colors. We wanted to be sure that you have a chance to buy retiring ink pads and refills before they are gone. We have worked with our vendors to ensure that we have a period of guaranteed stock before the retirement date. This means that even if an ink pad/refill goes on backorder during that guaranteed time, those orders will be fulfilled.

However, after that guarantee date has passed, those products in retiring colors are available while supplies last. Please see the chart below that details this. It also shows how other products with retiring colors will be handled.

PRODUCT	RETIRING COLOR(S)
Classic Stampin’ Pads	Guaranteed stock of old ink pad design through May 7, 2018; then, available while supplies last May 7–31, 2018
Classic Stampin’ Pad Collections	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018
Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills	Guaranteed stock through May 7, 2018; then, available while supplies last May 7–31, 2018
Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill Collections	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018
Single Color Cardstock (All sizes and colors)	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018
Cardstock Packs, Collections, etc. (all sizes and colors)	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018
Stampin’ Write Markers (2-pack, Collections, and Many Marvelous Markers)	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018
Color Caddy	While supplies last—through May 31, 2018

My new favorite stamp set, using some retired colors

Hi everyone! I made a card with the Waterfront stamp set, which is in the Occasions Catalog. I love the look of watercolor, but am not very good at achieving it by…well…watercoloring! So this stamp set is SO easy to get that look by literally only stamping. Click photo to view it larger.

I used 3 retiring colors on this card – so if you need any of them, check out my website to see if they are still in stock and if so, grab them quickly! The colors I used are as folllows:

• Soft Sky (retiring) – lightest blue water
• Marina Mist (retiring) – darker blue water + spots
• Lemon Lime Twist – green water
• Crumb Cake – Mountains
• Daffodil Delight – sun
• Tranquil Tide – trees
• Dapper Denim (retiring) sentiment
• Tranquil Tide – card base

This was one of my top 5 easiest cards to make! It’s so easy to make multiples of this one, also. Please let know if you have any questions.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh so grateful

This card is for all my sweet customers, whether you’ve ordered one time, or bunches of times! I appreciate each and every order so very much. This is the last card I made for one of you!

I had my Silhouette machine out for project for my sister, and decided to make a quick card with it today. This particular design cuts and scores the card. All I did was put some long retired SU! paper behind the front of the card to simulate a wooden bench. I then heat embossed the sentiment in gold embossing powder. The second photo shows the pretty embossing better. All items used are retired. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Don’t forget you have just over a month to pick up some pretty sweet, free items when you place a qualifying order – starting at just $50 in product! Click here to see the Sale-a-Bration brochure, and here to see the supplemental one. Then click my SHOP NOW button here, or on the right sidebar to get shopping! I can hardly wait to get my new Springtime Foils Specialty DSP found in this one to arrive!
