Going Away Stamp-a-Stack

Let’s celebrate our old “friends.” Just like Birthday Card Bonanza, you can make as many as you like of each card for $1 each, including the envelope. Supplies are limited, as I am using the stock I already have to make room for the new! RSVP ASAP, and no later than April 22nd.

Shown are the first four samples. I hope to make three more, so you'll have seven card options!

Class on Sunday, April 25th at 2PM. As always, dates will change if necessary to meet the needs of the group! If you’re interested in a class, just let me know and we’ll all find a date that works.

Stampin' Up! Color Renovation

Remember back in the 70s when we all had appliances that were Avocado Green or Harvest Gold? Would you want those in your home now? Would you go out and buy those colors today? Of course not. Your kitchen would be outdated. That is why Stampin’ Up! has decided to update their own color palette - to keep us fresh and current!

SU! has done extensive research over the last two years, watching fashion trends and crafting trends; they’ve done surveys of customers, demos, and artists; they’ve had study groups; they’ve closely watched what has sold well and what is getting dusty in their inventory. As a result, in July we will have a gorgeous new group of Core Colors.

In a nutshell, thirty colors will be leaving us at the end of June. We will have five brand-new core colors, and several of our favorite past (and a couple present!) In Colors will become Core Colors. We’ll have four new Color Collections (instead of Families). They are: Bold, Regal, Subtle, and Neutral. There will be ten colors in each Collection.

Our In Color program is changing a bit, too. We will still have five new colors every year, but now, they will stay with us for TWO years! For the new 2010-11 catalog year starting in July, we’ll have 45 colors with the In Colors. When the next catalog comes out in 2011, we’ll still have those 45 colors, and five more In Colors! From then on, we’ll have 50 colors to play with and use each year. Every three to five years, we will see some minor color changes to keep us current and on-trend.

I am SO excited about this!

April Birthday Card Bonanza

I have two cards for this month: one feminine, one masculine.

We'll be using up some of my soon-to-be-retired colors! This month it's Orchid Opulence with Barely Banana, and Mellow Moss with Close to Cocoa (and a bit of Not Quite Navy, which is not retiring).

Same deal as always: $1 per card, including envelope. Let me know how many of each you'd like to make.

Easter Card Class on March 18th at 7:30PM

PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE!

This will be just like Birthday Card Bonanza, but I'll have a couple different Easter cards available. One will use the bunny from Holiday Blitz, and the other one is this giant sheep! STINKIN' CUTE! $1 per card, including envelope. RSVP by March 15th.

Ronald McDonald House Charities Class: April 16th

RMHC Class on Friday, April 16th at 7PM

On the back inside cover of our catalog, you can see this year's RMHC set, Very Thankful. For each set purchased, SU! donates $2 to RMHC. For this class, you will get your own set, mounted and ready to use. We will make two each of five different thank you cards. The duplicates will be sent to a local Ronald McDonald House for the residents to use. Cost for this class is $27.50. If you already have the set, the cost is just $10.

Please RSVP by April 5th.

A Springy Birthday Card Bonanza!

Here is this month's card! There is some bling in the flowers, but you can't see it in the picture.

Same as always: $1 per card with envelope.

Let me know how many you'd like to make.

Birthday Card Bonanza - TONIGHT 2/12

Here is this month's birthday card (left) and Valentine card (right).

Imagine the pink background on the Valentine card to be in the shape of the Top Note die. That's what we'll use!

As always, $1 per card, including envelope. Let me know how many you'd like to make.

We're having a quick Sale-a-Bration and Occasions Mini workshop at 7PM. We'll make these cards afterward.
