COLOR REFRESH, discontinued colors available while supplies last!




Q: What are the new core colors, and what are the In Colors that are returning as core colors?
A: The one new color is called Smoky Slate. The nine returning In Colors as core colors are Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Soft Sky, and Wisteria Wonder. Check out these colors displayed in their new collections!

Q: Why are colors being discontinued?
A: We retired colors based on sales history and focus group feedback. We also looked at our overall color offering and determined what colors were not working with others. We sent out surveys, looked at trends, and determined what colors are out of date, etc.

Q: Why have some of the carryover colors changed collections?
A: With the changes, we found that a few colors fit better in a different collection. We also organized our colors to be more complementary within each collection.

Cards made with granddaughter Taylor

 I made this one with first edition dsp and black embossing, then colored in with so saffron marker. Simple to make, but elegant
This is Taylor's butterfly card. We copied the layout of one I had made earlier. It still needs a small butterfly by the sentiment.
 Taylor made this. I helped her a bit, but she chose dsp and colors. Note the added starfruit neckline and bottom ruffle.
I started with the color blocks, but Taylor chose the stamp and added the pool party layer at an angle. Originally we had the elephant on a white scallop, but I got some ink on it, so we cut it out and added the tangerine layer. I like it much better that way.
 We each made a banner card using this years SAB Sycamore Street dsp. This is Taylor's, mine is below. We embossed the sentiment from Vintage Verses (SAB) to make it pop!
 
I used all the patterns from SAB Sycamore Street dsp and the postage stamp punch to make this card. The island indigo ribbon was also a selection from SAB.
 
A monochromatic card using summer starfruit cardstock and SAB Sycamore Street dsp. Taylor likes angles and put this card together.

Super Duper easy butterfly cards

I first saw this card made by Mary Fish. She used Note Cards and Envelopes from the catalog
(pg 160, twenty 3 1/2x 5" cards with envelopes for $5.95). She added a white layer and punched out the elegant butterfly then added dsp behind the butterfly and added a white punched bitty butterfly such as you see here. Aislinn Chapotelle added the idea of using embossing folders to the white layer. I added the colored layer between the white and the card and made mine full sized cards. Most I left blank so the sentiment can be added when needed. This card would work well for birthday, get well, thinking of you, thank you, even sympathy!

 Uses perfect polka dots embossing folder. If you want a sentiment, can be added as a layer, or could have been stamped first, duh! The dsp is from last years SAB paper.
 This uses elegant bouquet embossing folder and subtles dsp paper pack, bashful blue.
 This dsp is from sunshine and sprinkles in the spring catalog. I added some color to the center of the flowers with an aquapainter.
 Another elegant bouquet embossing folder and subtles dsp in pretty in pink with a touch of color
 This is the first one I made before I added the colored layer behind. I used the elegant lines embossing folder and more of last years SAB dsp.
This dsp is from a hostess pack from last year. It is a great way to use up scraps. I turned my embossed layer upside down to punch the butterfly on the opposite side of this card. Just had to play a bit.

Another swallowtail card!

This is the final swallowtail card that I have made, but beware, there will be more! I can't get enough of it and it is so easy to use. This card uses first edition dsp and one of the pages talks about the butterfly! I stamped the swallowtail with marina mist ink and did not emboss. I stamped 3 butterflies from Papillon Potpourri with basic grey ink and colored using an aquapainter. I made marina mist seam binding by dying vanilla using marina mist reinker in water and soaking the ribbon. I had to keep adding a drop or two of reinker until it got me the color I wanted. When your ribbon reaches the desired color don't rinse when you take it out. Ask me how I know that, tehe!! My favorite part of this card is the irregularly gathered ribbon attachment. I just used a tape runner such as SU Snail and hand gathered the ribbon. Then I added 2 tags from Tiny Tags stamp set and the jewelry tag punch. Perfect!

All Dressed Up

All Dressed Up is a new set from the Spring catalog that has matching framelits. I had so much fun playing with this set that my sister had to talk me into getting. :) We made this card for club on Sat. It uses the flower trim for the skirt. The flowers can be colored using a sponge dauber, markers, spritzers, or using water and reinkers and soaking the flowers. We used a wee bit of color using the sponge dauber. We used the elegant bouquet embossing folder for the bodice of the dress and the vanilla piece on the bottom of the card. I took this picture before I added pearls for a necklace, I just wanted to be sure I had enough for my stampers.
This is a card I made for two of my friends who have March birthdays. The dress is stamped with melon mambo ink on pretty in pink cardstock. The mirror frame is made with the oval designer frames folder and the mirrored area is silver glimmer paper punched with the extra large oval punch.
I used the print poetry pack of designer paper for the next two dresses. The jacket is just the top of the dress trimmed down by hand. I used a scrap to make one then used that as a pattern. There are so many fun uses for this. The smallest pearls were used as buttons. The gumball green dsp cut with apothecary accents framelit is also from the print poetry pack.

Another print poetry dsp dress with a jacket. I used the small scallop flower from the itty bitty shapes punch pack to make the flower on the jacket. Snip into the flower at the scallops to make it stand up better. I did add pearls for a necklace.
This last dress is a wedding dress embossed using elegant lines embossing folder. I added length by cutting 3 more sets of scallops from the bottom of the embosslit. I used the apothecary accents framelit to cut the bashful blue dsp layer. The belt and sash are marina mist 1/8" taffeta ribbon. She needs some pearls as well for a necklace.

More Swallowtail

I'm really enjoying this butterfly, it is so easy to stamp and emboss several at once, then use to make finished cards. You will probably see more later!!
 This card is really beautiful in real life, as with all pictures on my blog, if you click on it, it will enlarge to show more detail.  I stamped the butterfly in versamark and embossed with white embossing powder. Then I used sponge daubers and added color. I started with pool party in the middle and added wisteria wonder on the outside, it needed a third color, so I added so saffron in the middle. I used both the elegant butterfly and the bitty butterfly punch and wonderful wings embosslit.
This card started out similarly, I decided to start with so saffron in the middle, but it did not give enough definition, so I added some calypso coral, then went to pool party for the middle and wisteria wonder for the outside edge. I didn't like the coloring on the rest of the layer, so cut out the butterfly. Not sure I like this look as well, but I forged ahead. I had a spare piece of pool party already embossed with the framed tulip emdossing folder. I tried adding a rectangular layer, but liked the circle better.

Swallowtail

I finally put some ink to my new swallowtail stamp. Actually I used versamark and embossing powder on them all. I am posting 2 today and have 2 more for tomorrow. This stamp is in the Spring catalog and 17.95 for the wood mount or 13.95 for the clear. The only thing with clear is you need a large block for this stamp. It is 16.95, so I purchased this stamp in wood mount. I did not buy the bundle of clear blocks from SU, and this is the only block that I do not own.
 This card is a CASE from amyk3868 on Splitcoaststampers. I did make some changes, but liked how she used Chocolate Chip CS with pool party and wild wasabi embossing powder.
I like the simple elegance of gold and white. The layer is brushed gold cardstock.

3x3 cards

I had a few products that I wanted to play with so made some 3x3 cards.
This uses the pinwheel die that is only $4.95 and cuts out these cute little pinwheels with the holes already made. I used a toothpick for the stick. The designer paper is from Sycamore Street, FREE Sale-A-Bration choice with a $50 order.
This uses the Petite Curly Label Punch, also available from SAB and the Sycamore Street designer paper. I stamped and punched 2 pieces from the Pretty Petites stamp set, also available from SAB. I used the itty bitty shapes punch pack for the flower on the top upper left of the card.
This uses Sunshine and Sprinkles designer paper and Oh, Whale! stamp set, also the Happy Whale clearlit die.

 This card uses 6 different Sale-A-Bration products (any of which can be yours FREE with a $50 order). The designer paper is Sycamore Street, the ribbon and buttons, pretty petites stamp set, and coordinating petite curly label punch, happy birhtday is from itty bitty banners, and there is an inside sentiment from vintage verses. The base color is Island indigo and the punched colors are island indigo, summer starfruit, tangerine tango, pool party, and rich razzleberry. The ribbon and button are tangerine tango. We used versamark and white embossing powder on the for you stamp then punched.
This is a viewmaster card with 6 different images that can be viewed in the window. It is quite a few steps in the making, but very rewarding when complete. The base card is 5x10" folded in half. The daffodil layer is 4 3/4" square. The white scallop circle is a bigshot die. All from the Spring catalog are the designer paper Sunshine and Sprinkles, the melon mambo ribbon, and images for the viewmaster are from the set Spring Sampler. We used the chevrom embossing folder on the daffodil layer. Colors used are Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, and Daffodil Delight.

More cards

I belong to a stamping club "Heartland Stamper" that meets monthly at Urbandale Library. We take turns teaching the class and Anne had us make these 3 cards.
 The focal point for this one uses stamping, coloring in the flowers, wheeled music notes, then embossed with an embossing folder and the bigshot. We then sponged with champagne mist
glimmer paint.
 A valentine card. The designer paper is from the print poetry pack in the Spring catalog.
This is a triple time stamping card. I need to finish this one up with some ribbon and a sentiment.
