A Color Renovation!!

2010-04-12T09:32:00.000-05:00

Lat week, Stampin' Up! revealed some exciting changes to demonstrators. I wanted to share the news with you all right away. I can't wait to play with the new colors and am so excited about the returning colors which have many of my favorites I have missed. I am looking forward to showing you what I know will be beautiful, exciting new combos! Read on...

At Stampin’ Up!®, color is part of our identity. It’s fundamental to our ability to create and be creative. That also means that it’s important for us to be able to stay up-to-date with the trends in color to keep your artwork fresh and exciting.

That’s why we’ve worked to present you with the Color Renovation—a refreshing, updated color palette! The new color collections combine current colors with 10 RETURNING IN COLORS (Baja Breeze, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette, Rich Razzleberry, Riding Hood Red, River Rock, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango and Wild Wasabi) and 5 NEW COLORS (Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso). Also, our current Kraft color will be renamed Crumb Cake and will have ink, markers and accessories to match.

These luscious collections give you new and vibrant choices, keeping your papercrafting passion original and exciting. Mix and match for your favorite combinations, and make the Color Renovation work for you! Our gorgeous new color collections will be available to everyone with the new Stampin' Up! catalog beginning July 1 .... if you are a DEMONSTRATOR you get to order them early! Not a demonstrator yet? FIND OUT MORE info about joining my team HERE! Click photo for larger image.

Now that you’ve seen the new color collections, you probably have a favorite color—or several—that you’re sad to see go. But look at the bright side, you have plenty of time to get all the ink and paper you think you’ll need before your favorite colors are gone. And I will be showing you lots of beautiful new samples with new color combos that I know you will love!

The chart below shows which colors we will bid a fond farewell to at the end of June 2010. Click photo for larger image.

Vintage Vogue Card & Basket for a friend

2010-02-07T09:00:00.001-06:00

This is a card and basket that I made for a good friend to let her know I was thinking of her on a day that had some bad memories for her. I cased these from Lynn Put, check out hers here. Thanks for the inspiration Lynn!! I did forget the "lace" on the basket edge and I changed the sentiment on the card. Also the centers of my flowers are just brads, as I don't yet own the pretties kit. I hope to change that soon though!! These use the Vintage Vogue and Tiny Tags stamp sets, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron and Old Olive are the colors used. Please let me know if you have any questions!!

Stampin’ Up! Build-A-Bear Contest

Stampin’ Up!© has partnered with Build-A-Bear to bring you a whole new line of stamps and dies!

Adorable!!!

In honor of the BAB partnership, Stampin' Up! had special BAB’s available at convention. Isn’t it cute? It comes with an exclusive “Life Without Stamps… UNBEARABLE” stamp and black Stampin’ Up! demonstrator apron. You could only get this teddy bear if you were at convention, but thanks to some pretty mad negotiating skills Stampin Addicts was able to acquire a couple of these bears to give away. So to celebrate the Sept 1. release of the Holiday Mini catalog and the Build-A-Bear Workshop collection they’re putting one of these bears up for adoption. So run on over to Stampin Addicts (the link is on the top left of the sidebar), join the forums and upload some cards for your chance to win the cutest Build-A-Bear teddy bear.

2009-06-29T08:00:00.001-05:00

I made 2 of these cards for Father's Day. One for my Dad and one for my father-in-law. My daughter made a card for my husband at daycare and I ran out of time, so he didn't get one made by me!! I really don't think he cares about that though!!

These are the teacher gifts that I made for my daughter to take to her teachers. She was in kindergarten and had a large class so she had 2 teachers and 1 helper. I've had these pix on my old camera for a while, her last day of school was May 23rd. I was finally able to get the pictures uploaded. The single pic of the middle box was very blurry so I couldn't use it. In these we put some Dove chocolate caramels (my new favorites!!), a gift card and a card with a teacher poem on it.

These are 2 cards I made for my husband's birhtday. It was May 26th. Unfortunately due to camera issues I did not get a picture of the cards until today.

Wedding Card

2009-05-23T08:00:00.001-05:00

This card was for my cousin's wedding last weekend. I'm in love with this paper so I had to use it on the wedding card.

Grandma's Birthday Card

2009-05-22T08:00:00.001-05:00

This card was for my Grandma's birthday last week, it's the same day as my Mom's. It also uses the same technique that I used on my Mom's card. Only this one uses Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy reinkers, and Not Quite Navy and Shimmery White cardstock.

Mom's Birthday Card

2009-05-21T08:00:00.000-05:00

This card was for my Mom's birthday last week. It uses the Brayered Rose technique by Patty Bennett, click here for how-to. This one uses the Baja Breeze reinker and cardstock, along with shimmery white cardstock.

This card is for my daughter for her 6th birthday. I still can't believe she is 6!! Time flies so fast!!

Mother's Day Cards

2009-05-19T10:20:00.004-05:00

Hello!! I'm back among the blogging world again. Sorry for the hiatus. I got a bit overwhelmed!! My goal of making cards ahead of time hasn't been accomplished yet. So, I had Mother's Day (3 cards), my daughter's birthday (card, presents, party w/ 17 kindergartners), Mom's Birthday (1 card), Grandma's Birthday (1 card) and my cousin's wedding (1 card); all within 1 week of each other. I had to buy (gasp!!) 2 graduation cards because I ran out of time and energy to make them because I needed those this last weekend also (that's when the wedding was and it was out of town)!! So for me 7 cards made in 1 week is great!! If I could only win the lottery, then I wouldn't have to work and I could be a year ahead on my cards (and cleaning)!! I'd have a better chance of winning if I bought a ticket though!!

Ok, sorry for the long story, here is 2 of the 3 Mother's Day cards (the third is the same as the red one only without ribbon-I mailed that one to my Grandma and forgot to take a picture of it!!):

I'm still around......

2009-05-05T11:34:00.002-05:00

Hi!!

Sorry for the long delay since posting last. I'm just having trouble squeezing everything into 24 hours each day!! I wish the days were a bit longer, or I required less sleep. I hope to post a creation soon. I've been working on unmounting my stamps, but it's been a long slow process and I'm not done yet. It doesn't help any that I keep ordering stamps!! But in the next few days I need to make Mother's Day cards and birthday cards (daughter, Mom and Grandma are all next week). So, if I remember to take pix of those I will get them posted next week, I promise!!

Happy Spring!!
