Stampin' Up! announced a "Color Refresh" the other day, and I made this display above in My Digital Studio of all the retiring colors! As you can see, the discontinued Stampin' Up! colors are:

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

Stampin' Up! is also having FREE SHIPPING starting NOW and going until Monday night at 11:50 MT.  I'm guessing that a lot of people will be wanting to stock up on these retiring colors….but not just the card stock and ink…..think about refills for each one, ribbon, buttons, markers, designer paper…whatever has these colors in it!

Of course the FREE SHIPPING is on EVERYTHING Stampin' Up! sells….so take advantage of it! It's rare that Stampin' Up! offers free shipping!  Check the annual catalog, the Spring catalog, all the specials….the clear stamps, the Dude You're Welcome Kit, the new preview stamp set A Round Array, the new Petite Curly Label Punch,…especially the new This and That line in the bundle at a 15% discount!

Also, remember Watercolor Crayons are being discontinued, due to problems with the supplier, so the Neutrals, Subtles, and Regals are available while supplies last! Watercolor Pencils are no longer available either.

Once you are ready to order, go to my Online Store here!  Sign in or Create an Account. You can see all the New Arrivals, Specials, Clearance Rack…all on the left sidebar.

Make an Easy Black and White Card to Make

Leave a reply

Easy Black and White Card to Make

With all the talk about our wonderful Stampin' Up! colors yesterday, I thought I would post an easy card I made with just black ink and white glossy card stock!  There's never anything wrong with just black and white! I remember doing a swap a long, long time ago using just black and white and it was one of my favorites! I like to use Glossy White card stock to add a little something to the card. (although it is difficult to photograph without glare!)  The base of the card is just Whisper White card stock with Basic Black layered on top of that.

Can you guess what stamp set I used on this card??  It might be tricky! Obviously I used lots of circle punches and popped some up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The greeting is from Perfectly Penned.

Try your hand at just using black and white on a card or scrapbook page! I used the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad, which is good for that real black…and for stamping on Glossy card stock.

So did you figure out what stamp set I used??  It's from the Holiday Catalog, although still available to order……It's Ornament Keepsakes!  Did you guess I used ornament stamps on this card….and it's not even Christmas?!  Once you alter the shape of the stamped image, it no longer is Christmas-y!  I just used circle punches to punch out the centers of the ornaments!  Get more use out of your "Christmas" stamps!

If you want to order some Christmas ornament stamps this weekend (Ornament Keepsakes!)…remember it is FREE SHIPPING from Stampin' Up! April 6-8…. just go to my Online Store and place your order! Get some Glossy White card stock, too, if you have never tried it!

Color Refresh Logo

What a surprise to find out this morning that Stampin' Up! has released information on their Color Refresh! Since 2010, the year of the big color renovation, Stampin' Up! has planned on smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep the colors on trend. Now it has been three years, so here we go! The upcoming 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)!

The nine returning In Colors as core colors are:

  • Blushing Bride 
  • Calypso Coral 
  • Crushed Curry 
  • Island Indigo 
  • Pear Pizzazz 
  • Pool Party 
  • Soft Sky 
  • Wisteria Wonder

The one new color is called Smoky Slate.

If you have been using Stampin' Up! for awhile, you may already own some or all of these colors!!  And if you are new to Stampin' Up!, these colors will be new and exciting for you!

You'll notice a few colors have been moved around into different color families.That's because with the changes, some fit better in other groups.  Everything will still coordinate throughout all the Stampin' Up! products!

No colors will retire in My Digital Studio because nothing retires in My Digital Studio!! We'll be able to add the new colors, of course!

SU Petite Curly Label Punch
