Some Sneak Peeks at Canada Inks Up! Team Blog Hop

Do you like looking at the new In Colors before the new catalogue is in your hands? I know I do - it's one of the first things I look for when we get the PDF version online ahead of time!!  Today we are sharing ideas from the new catalogue in our Sneak Peeks Blog Hop so relax, grab your favourite cup or mug and enjoy the tour!

My inspiration for my card today came from some scraps I had left on my desk from another project, and the fact that I wanted to share some new products that are all about the new In Colors - for my card base I used the new Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes, choosing the bright Starry Night one for this card. 

I added a Basic White layer embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder in the Sun Prints Suite . . . .  and then I made some scrap strips from the Tea Boutique 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper - it's  a perfect match for the card bases as it includes all the new In Colors!! 

I used my new Limited Edition Stamp Set for the sentiments on the card front, and die cut them with the Beautiful Shapes Dies in the current Spring Mini (and carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue!). I added a couple of Silver Foil die cuts and some new In Color Matte Decorative Dots to finish off my card. 

My strips of DSP were cut from a piece 3 1/2" x 3 1/4" as follows: 1/2"; 3/4"; 1"; 3/4"; 1/2" all by 3 1/4". then I laid them out in a random pattern and used Stampin' Seal to glue them onto the Basic White embossed piece (3 1/4" x 4 1/2").

Sunday Share - My Final In Color Sneak Peek!

 Are you getting ready for the new Annual catalogue??? It launches May 3rd so we are counting down the days! Here's the cover - it's filled with so many great products that I can't wait to share with you!

Do you have your new catalogue yet? If it's in the mail from me, watch for it and if you are local then ask me to drop one off for you (or you can pick up if you are out!). 

Here is your clue for the fifth In Color - 

I bloom in perfect symmetry. Elegant, fragrant, vibrant—I’m a flower fit for royalty. Together we can celebrate friendships, new beginnings, and affection. Think of me as your wellspring of tranquility and personal connection.

What’s my name?

While you ponder that clue, here's a card I made at last week's Craft and Chat evening - it's a Faux Step Card. I love having friends from all over join in on Zoom so we can share our ideas and the cards we make! If you want to join me, then let me know to add you to my invite list - I'd love to see you on Zoom! Here's another one I shared as a bonus card - I do like to show ways we can use up some of our retired product to make some really pretty cards (and yes, this card was mostly retired DSP and stamps) 

Only 9 more days to shop the Last Chance clearance for retiring products - if there is something from the expiring catalogue still on your wish list then don't delay! Check out this link to my online store to see if your favourite items are still available then place your order right away - you don't want to be the sad face who missed out!! 

Ready for the final colour? Introducing - 

Orchid Oasis 

And here they all are together so you can see how much fun they will be to create with over the next two years! Definitely on trend colours from Stampin' Up! don't you think??  And wait until you see the coordinating products to work with the colours!! 

Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - In Color Sneak Peeks #2!

 Today's the day for another reveal of the next two In Colors coming in the new Annual Catalogue which launches May 3rd!! Are you excited yet to see this pretty cover and what's inside?? 

I've arranged for mailed out catalogues for all my special customers who shopped with me this past year and are not local to me.   The catalogues are shipped directly to you from Utah and I’m hoping they will be in your mailbox within the next 2 weeks. I always send a test one to myself so I can let you know when I've got my copy and you can be watching for yours too.  If you are local to me, I will have a supply on hand and can get one delivered or arrange for you to pick up.  Now let’s see some more In Colors clues!!

Colour #3 - I rise and fall with the sun and the moon. I’m a fun splash mid-afternoon. If you’re looking for a slice of paradise and that tropical aura, then I recommend a sweet escape to Bora Bora!

Can you guess my name?

Colour #4 - Like billions of fireflies shining so bright we work together to light up the night. Connect us together and we make up dazzling constellations. Shared with someone you love we’re quite the romantic destination.

Who am I?

I tuned into a Stampin' Up! event last night for demonstrators across Canada to learn about some new products and share ideas with the others on the Zoom meeting - there were over 200 demos on the meeting so it was a fun time! We all received a stamp set from the upcoming Annual catalogue for signing up and I made this card from my set called Limited Edition.

I used the retiring Ombre Specialty Paper (so glittery!!) with the Picture This Die and added some Gingham Ribbon and Brushed Brass Butterflies for accents. I think it's going to be a fun one to use in my craft room over the next while . . .  are you ready to see the next two colours?? Here they are . . . . 

Here's Tahitian Tide . . .

and welcome to Starry Night!

What's your favourite so far?? I think I like the Parakeet Party as we have no other colour close to it although Starry Night might become my new favourite blue!

Reminder to check out the Last Chance products at my online store - that way you aren't waiting for group orders going in and know your order will come directly to you. Use my current Host Code A3XK34A6 (also at the top of the side bar) to get in the draws for Host Rewards each month! 

Want to join me on my next Craft and Chat?? It's on Tuesday, April 19th at 7:00 pm on Zoom so you can join from anywhere!! Message me if you don't have the link from my invites - I'll get one out to you right away!! 

Until next time - Happy stamping!

Sunday Share - Sneak Peeks At New In Colors!

 **Sorry this is late - couldn't post while we were on our first camping trip of the season as their was no internet! Lesson learned - plan ahead 😉💕

Our new Annual Catalogue launches on May 3rd  and I hope you are as excited as I am to see what's new and what new tools are in the book to help you with your crafting projects!

Starting today, and for the next two Sundays I'm going to reveal the new In Colors to you so you can think about which ones might be your favourites and which ones are going on your "must get" lists right away! Here's the clues for today's two - 

"I’m a delicious treat on the tip of your tongue. Creamy yet dairy-free is the life for me. Strawberries, watermelon, raspberries, oh my! Just blend a little fruit juice, water, and sugar for a frozen surprise. 

What do you think this one might be? 

Here's the second one. . . . 

"Don’t let my feathers fool you—I’m a social butterfly! Bright, bold, and beautiful is my motto. This is one bird who doesn’t have time for siestas, but that’s because me gusta la fiesta!"

Who am I?

While you are pondering the clues, I'll share a couple of pictures I took from our first camping trip of the season - it was too cool to eat out (down to +1 overnight) and way too windy to have any campfires, so we enjoyed the down time and shared some meals with friends. No internet at the campsites so it really was downtime!! Sammy loved to perch on the back of the couch and watch the neighbours dogs!

Here's the reveal of the first two colours - I'm already in love with them and think they will be perfect colours to work with our current palette ❤🙂

Meet Sweet Sorbet

and Parakeet Party!

Aren't they happy colours?? I know we are going to have lots of fun making projects with these two colours as well as the other new ones. And wait till you see some of the coordinating products!

The Last Chance Sale is still going on so grab any items on your wish list before they are gone or shop for your regular products by clicking here and going to my online store . . . and use my Current Host Code A3XK34A6 so you can go in my draws to share rewards each month!  Next draw date is April 20th - after my Craft and Chat event on Tuesday April 19th at 7:00 pm. If you don't see an invite, then send me a quick message or email and I'll make sure you get the invite then Zoom link. 

 Happy stamping  . . . . until next time

Sunday Share - Catching Up On My Recent Cards!

 

We know it's spring on the West Coast when the blossoms appear and this past week they have been sharing their colour with us so I snapped a couple of pictures in our neighbourhood to let you enjoy the colour too!

If you like making blossoms on your cards, then the Cherry Blossom Dies are retiring but still available through my online store - sadly the coordinating Forever Blossoms Stamps Set is sold out!! 

I'm still making cards each month with my crafting ladies at The Wesbrooke Seniors Residence and they made these cards to help fill their birthday box last month . . .  some of the papers are now retired, but I thought you'd like to see what can be done with your Designer Series Papers that you are probably saving for some special cards!! Now is the time to use them because there are always more pretty papers coming out and you want to get them too!!

This month is a preorder month for us Stampin' Up! Demos to get a few products in hand to share with you when the new Annual Catalogue goes live on May 3rd. Between now and then, you need to be on the lookout for this catalogue cover coming to you in the mail if you are my regular customer and if you live out of town - or check with me mid-April to get your copy if you are closer to me  . . .I ordered boxes of catalogues to share with my local peeps yesterday as that was the first opportunity to order! 

There's so much that I like in this catalogue, even though I'm sad they couldn't include everything from the old one - but change is good, right??  I'll be showcasing some new products once we can all get them both on my blog posts and at my Zoom events each month. Stay tuned this month as I share more each week until we the finally reveal what's inside!!

If you want to shop anytime, please click on the link here and use my current Host Code A3XK34A6 , or message me to add to group orders going in.  I'm happy to help and always send group orders in right after each event. Meanwhile shop the Retiring Products list on my website or the current Spring Mini - both have some great products you'll want to add to your creative spaces 😀

Happy stamping!
