Colour changes

Today Stampin’Up! have announced some changes to our colour groups and I wanted to let you know as soon as possible incase some of the your favourite colours are going.

Three years ago Stampin'Up announced a major colour change and they did say that there would be some updates and this has now happened.


What do these changes mean, 10 existing colours are retiring and being replaced by another 10, some of which are old/current In Colours.

I dont have a sample of the new colours as yet and they are not availble to to 1st July 2013 when we get our new catalogues.

What you do need to know however is that from today, once the current stock of the discontinued colours is gone, there is no more...so I just wanted you to bear that in mind if one of your fav's has gone. This includes cardstock, ink, ribbons etc etc.

Here are the colours that are going:

Regal Rose
Pretty in Pink
Bashful Blue
Certainly Celery
Baja Breeze
Riding Hood Red
Bravo Burgundy
Not Quite Navy
More Mustard
River Rock
Lucky Limeade

If you want to order anything let me know.

More Summer Silhouettes

I really need to put this stamp set away and use something else but just wanted to show you a card I made with this fab stamp set and the fancy fan embossing folder.

 

I used one of the framelits dies to cut into the Summer Starfruit cardstock, then embosssed it . I cut another one is Island Indigo and a smaller one is White . The embossed layer is attached on foam pads. Three of the smaller flowers were stamped and cut out and some leaves and a flowers from the rest of the set where stamped to make a background.

 

 

 

Products Used:

 

Stamps: Summer Silhouette, For my Family { sentiment}

Dies: Window frames collection 

Embossing folder: Fancy Fan

Cardstock/inks: Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party and Whisper White

Punches: Word Window

 

Have a great weekend, although it looks like its going to be a wet and cold one...bang goes my idea of getting some gardening done!!

 

 

Just Believe

 

 

I love this stamp set and yes I know I say that alot..lol! I think its because its so clean and simple and thats what style I tend to be drawn to. This card was simply embossed with one of the very popular Fancy Fold embossing folders on Whisper White card. The image was then simply stamped and matted and I die cut some butterflies in two different colours to add some dimension. The sentiment uses the Itty Bitty Banners stamp and die set, the stamps are on the current SAB promo. Finished off with some Bakers Twine instead of ribbon for a change.

 

Products used:

 

Stamps: Just Believe and Itty Bitty

Cardstock: Whisper White, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Lucky Limeade

Inks: Black and Lucky Limeade

Dies: Itty Bitty die set and Beautiful Wings

Embossing Folder: Fancy Fold

Embellishments: Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine

 

 

Happy Birthday Friend

I finally have some cards to show over the next few days, first one uses a framelit die to emboss not cut.

 

Then I used my pricking template that coordinates with the framelits set to go around the inside edge of the embossed line. The sentiment is from the annual catalogue, new to me, but I love it and its nice to use a different style of sentiment stamp to the ones I usually use. The lattice stamp is gorgeous and matches the embossing folder beautifully. The flowers are one of the Sizzix dies from Stampin Up and the leaves are a little Sizzlet die. The ribbon is from the current Sale-a-bration promo and the "friends" sentiment can easily be changed for any family member....maybe Mum as its Mothers day in the uk soon. I finished off with a tiny circle punch for the centres and some pearls. The colour combo I used was Pool Party, Island Indigo and Summer Starfruits....never did I think I would like that last colour but I love it and its turning into one of my fav's !!
