Avaliability of the Retiring Stampin’ Up! Colors

May 5, 2010

Hi Stampers and Color Lovers! 🙂

With Stampin' Up!'s recent about the Color Renovation they expected an increase in orders for the retiring color products. The responce has been amazing! Everyone wants to be sure to stock up on their favorite old colors. As a result of the overwhelming responce a few colors have already sold out or been placed on backorder.

In reguards to the Reinkers and card stock orders here's what you need to know…

Reinkers will be available through May 31st. Reinkers may be placed and backordered. Backordered reinkers will be shipped when the supply has been replenished. After June 1st, the reinkers will again be avaliable only as supplies last.

The card stock is a much more difficult process to manufacture. There are not sufficient supplies to fill backorders. As a substitute, Stampin up will fill backorders with textured card stock. Effective today, card stock supplies are as supplies last.

If you want to stock up on retiring color products (reinkers, card stock, ribbon, buttons, and more.), please place your order asap.

You can order online anytime directly from my Stampin' Up! Website.

You can also order through e-mail at InkyFingrz@aol.com or by calling (314) 560-0627

If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me!

A note for those of you worrying about the Blush Blossom Marker – As I understand it while Blush Blossom is retiring and will not be a core color SU will continue to offer this color as a Marker only for all of us who LOVE coloring our skin tones with it!

Happy Stampin'

Big Color Changes coming to SU!

April 7, 2010

I am SO excited about the announcement Stampin' Up! made to us Demonstrators yesterday. They are giving our color families a makeover and when the renovations are done we'll have a Fun, Fresh, New Color Collections to play with!! The changes will start with the New Idea Book and Catalog that's coming out July 1, 2010.

Click Here to View the Full Size .pdf file featuring the new Color Collections.

We'll be saying good bye to some of our old colors. But we'll also be welcoming back 10 of the previous In Colors – some of the favorite in colors from the past and current year!

Baja Breeze, Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette,
Rich Razzleberry, Riding Hood Red, River Rock, Soft Suede, Tangerine Tango and
Wild Wasabi

AND they'll be introducing 5 brand new colors into the line up to help round out our color collections.

Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, Cherry
Cobbler, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso

and Kraft card stock will be getting a new new name – Crumb Cake. And since it's joining our Color Collection line up you'll enjoy Ink, Markers, and many more fabulous products in one of my all time favorites!!

Of course we'll still have our In Color Collection that bring exciting trendy colors to us to play with every year but Here's the GREAT part. The In Colors will be staying around for 2 years now! This year we'll get 5 New In Colors to play with. (You'll have to wait to see those colors – SU will announce them when we're a little closer to July.)

You may want to stock up on your favorite colors that are retiring this June. If you use on of these colors a lot I would suggest a fresh Classic Re-Inker to keep that ink pad going for years to come and a pack or two of card stock in your favorite size. I'm sure Stampin' Up! will be offering these colors only while supplies last soon, so be sure to get those orders in early.

Paper Carrots for Easter Baskets

March 24, 2010

Every year the residents at my Grandma's Retirement Community put together Easter Baskets to donate to a food pantry that they work with throughout the year. Each month they make sandwiches for the kids lunches – but around Easter time they try to pull together some extra donations and make up several Easter Baskets for the kids who might not get any Easter treats. This year Grandma wanted to put something homemade in the baskets. So I started thinking up ideas for her. Last month at stamp camp I had done Paper Carrots as one of our projects and I decided that would be perfect to add to the kids baskets.

The carrots were created by Die Cutting a Scallop Circle. Click Here to download an instruction .pdf.

In the instructions I used Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive to create the carrots (that's what we did at Stamp Camp) but I wanted a softer look for the kids to go with the pastel jelly beans we found so I used Only Orange and Certainly Celery for these carrots.

We created about 70 of these carrots for the Easter Baskets

We had fun with Grandma making the carrots. Today they got together to assemble all the baskets and she said they were a HIT! Everyone was excited to add a little something handmade into each kids basket.

PS – Sorry for the yucky lighting in these pictures – it was a gloomy day and I just couldn't get the colors to come out right – Hopefully this was still good eye candy for you though! 🙂

My Fabric Flower was Featured!

Remember the purple fabric flower I posted last week? It was featured over on lollychops.com today! Lolly is doing a whole week of flower posts – If you like the fabric flowers I’ve made on here you HAVE to go check out her posts this week! Lolly took a picture of her flower in process so you can get a better idea of how it goes together!

Today’s Featured tutorials:
Julie – Inkcredible Stamping – Felt Flower
Make It. Do It. – Wire Ribbon Flowers
LollyChops – Flower Buttons

Let’s get started with the felt flowers from Julie…
This is what we call a curve ball. Julie left me a comment yesterday around 4:30 letting me know that she had posted some of her flower creations to the Wall Flowers Week Flickr group. You can see her creations HERE. So of course I went to go look and low and behold… I knew I had to make one of them eeeeeemeediately!

Without moving my computer even… I busted out my teal felt, my Sizzix Circles #2 die (the very one I used yesterday) and within 15 minutes I had a totally fabulous flower! I don’t even have it framed… I just made it cause it was totally awesome and totally EASY!

As my finishing center, I cut a 1 inch circle, beaded around the outside of it and glued two buttons (one on top of the other)… and KABOOM!
