Stampin' Up!'s NEW - COLOR RENOVATION coming in 2010-2011 Catalogue!

STAMPIN' UP! has announced changes to its colour line-up, with the previous Color Families being replaced with: BRIGHTS, SUBTLES, REGALS and NEUTRAL COLLECTIONS. 

 25 colours which will remain - 5 BRAND NEW colours are being added, and the IN COLORS will remain for a 2 year stay from this current lineup onwards, but will have a new line-up of In Colors every year as before. Therefore by 2012 there will be 10 In Colours present at any one time from that point forward.

So with the 40 CORE COLOR COLLECTION + 10 IN COLORs = 50 COLORS by 2011-2012.

The Core Collection has absorbed some of this year's In Colors to its line-up: Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry. And  returning previous In Color favourites: Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Red Riding Hood and Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi.

That I personally am in love with - I use my River Rock, Wild Wasabi and Baja Breeze all the time! My Pink Pirouette and Pacific Point were lovingly being coddled in my collection - I was afraid to use the last of them up, lol! Now I can order more and whup it up!

YES - this means there will be adjustments made to all product containing colours such as Stampin Pastels, our Crayons, etc. I will post on those a bit later.

Confused?  I hope not - it will all make sense by the time the catalogues have made their way to you, and you see the new line-up of In Colors and we get craftin' like crazy with all the new stuff!  It's always a lovefest when the new cattys arrive, this year it will just be a bit more crazy!

I will post some more info as I go along. Stay tuned!

SAY GOODBYE!

However, many colours are not coming back....and you will need to look at your collection to see if those going make up a major part of your current craft projects - because YOU MAY WANT TO ORDER THEM BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!


Please contact me if you wish to order before the new changes arrive in summer.

Gothic Birthday Card

 Have a friend who appreciates the gothic sensibilities? Then dig into your creative spirit and look at the norm through a wonderful, rich and dark prism!  I chose a designer paper with a fab colour set. Next why do butterflies when a moth will be better?  Here Tim Holtz’s Funky Insects die set does the trick. To make it a tad interesting I placed a pocket inside and crafted a ATC which doubled as a coffee gift card holder. A second large tag holds my message. Well crafters, explore your options and enjoy!

Funky Insects Tim Holtz - first projects

  Funky Insects Thinlits Dies (not including bee die shown upper left ) Tim Holtz's Funky Insects are a hoot to play with. I am just playing to discover the million-gazillion ways to colour each bug and not concerned with how to design projects featuring them yet. Here's a tall slimline card, an A2 card and an ATC that l've created so far. To get inspired, you only have to look at the amazing designers that contribute to Tim's Chapter releases such as this year's Chapter 2 release.  To be honest, l was not bothered cutting so many parts for the different insects as l thought l might be....time flew by as l cut batches of the body 'base' and then spent most of my time inking, embossing, painting, etc the wings and body sections. There lies the fun!

Easter "Scallop Circle" Chick Card

Isn't this the cutest!  The second I laid eyes on the card which inspired me - I was OMG !  So I had to do one! IT'S A  EASY - QUICK 5 MIN. PROJECT!  GREAT KIDS PROJECT!  We made ours  after having breakfast  and  in no time flat! Technique: You can see from the pictures that you must fold your cardstock at the 5-1/2 mark, and CUT the Scallop Circle LEAVING A SMALL PART OF THE FOLD OVERHANGING THE CIRCLE OUTLINE - that is how you make a card - and not 2 Scallop Circles. A small scallop punch is cut into wedges - those make up the wings. Punch your other parts, fold the square on the diagonal for its beak, then glue everything on. We highlighted the eyes and beak - voila! Basic Supplies:  CARDSTOCK: 11x8 in. yellow, 1 in square orange scrap, black scrap; BIG SHOT XL BIGZ DIE: Scallop Circle; HAND PUNCHES:  flower, scallop circle (any size), small circle punch; Other:  1" square orange cardstock, white gel pen, glue.
