Sad Farewell

One of my favourite sets to retire is Pun Fun.  It is so versatile with its pictures and funny punny sentiments.  Here's a quick birthday card in Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler.  I hurried my water colouring so there is a little bit of bleeding.


Tomorrow is the last day to order any retired items....which means that on Thursday, the NEW catalogue begins.  Yippee!

Father's Day Treats

My son's school is having a Father's Day stall this week so I have made up some treat bags to sell.  It was very quick and easy with the Big Shot and the Top Note die.


I liked packaging the Licorice Allsorts with striped ribbon.

Introducing...the new In Colors

Come September, Stampin' Up! will introduce five new In Colors to complement the rest of the colour range.  All five a just beautiful!  Thought I would give you a sample of what they are like.

In all these samples, the card base, the top butterfly and the sentiment are done in the new colour.  The card style is inspired by Kirsty Brown.

First up... Calypso Coral which I have teamed with Peach Parfait.


These butterflies are put together using the Big Shot Beautiful Butterflies die and the Embosslits beautiful wings die.



Next up Wisteria Wonder - I have been hoping for a lavendar shade to be introduced.  This one I have teamed with Concord Crush.  Yummeeee.


Do you like the flourish?  One of our free stamp sets from Convention was Creative Elements.  I love this delicate touch.

Another In Color:  Lucky Limeade.  Remember Kiwi Kiss?  This new colour reminds me very much of that old favourite.


I have added some Stick on Basic Pearls for a touch of elegance.



Pool Party is a light subtle colour which I have teamed with Tempting Turquoise, one of our Brights.



And last but not least, Island Indigo, contrasting below with Bashful Blue.




The For You sentiment is from the Elements of Style stamp set and is punched out with a 1" circle punch.



Stay tuned for more sneak peeks. 

If you are interested in seeing more samples from the new catalogue, I am having a launch at my house at the beginning of September.  Email me for more details.  Can't come but want a new catalogue?  I can have one ready to mail to you on September 1st.  Cost is $12.95 including postage.  Contact me for more details.

Thanks for visiting!

Stampin' Up! is introducing five new In Colours in the new catalogue.  Our current In-Colours will stay around for another year so we have a total of 50 colours to work with!  This is Wisteria Wonder, a beautiful subtle tone.  Again I have used the Two Tags die, coming in September, which has (as the name suggests) two different shaped gift tags.
