Stampin’ Up! has just announced that for a limited time, we will be able to buy the new colors in Stampin’ Write markers individually OR in the New Color Kit. Some of us already own most of the colors in the kit, so this will enable us to buy just the markers we need rather than have duplicates.  Check your Stampin’ Write Marker collection and see what your needs are. Please note that the New Color Kit does include a new insert for the Many Marvelous Marker case, if you happen to own that.  However, once Stampin’ Up! fixes a glitch, you will be able to print that insert with the new color families yourself if you would like.

“In the 2013-2014 annual catalog, we offer the Stampin’ Write Marker New Color Kit (item 130034, page 163) to help you update your Many Marvelous Marker pack. Now, we’ve sweetened the deal. For a limited time, from June 26 until October 31, you can buy any of the new colors in the pack or on their own! Go ahead, fill in the missing pieces in your collection or buy the whole lot.”

Remember, Smoky Slate is the one totally brand new color that no one owns for sure!  Also, the New Color Kit does not include the new In Colors.

Add your markers on to your regular Stampin’ Up! order!  You can order online at the Stampin’ Up! Online Store HERE if you like or contact me if you would like me to put it in for you. Keep in mind Clearance Rack items can only be ordered on an Online Order since availability can change at any moment.

Stampin' Up! is introducing their new storage cases for the wood-mount stamp sets that will be available in the new catalog!  Not only will the wood-mount stamp sets be packaged in these, but empty ones will be available for purchase for your other crafting storage needs!  They will fit with the stamp cases used for the clear-mount stamps. The stamp images and stamp set name will be on the spine, just like the clear-mount cases. If you like everything to match, you can purchase the new empty cases and transfer your current wood-mount stamps into those.  But Stampin' Up! has made a video with all kinds of uses for these new stamp cases!  Enjoy!

*Translated stamp sets are only available in clear-mount.

Stampin' Up! is discontinuing Watercolor Pencils and Watercolor Crayons (oh no!) due to supplier problems. Watercolor Crayon Brights are no longer available, but you can order the Subtles (item 119802), Neutrals (item 119805), and Regals (item 119803) Collections are only available while supplies last. Get 'em before they're gone!

Be sure to get an Aqua Painter with them!

You might remember seeing this Petite Curly Label Punch in the Sale-A-Bration brochure, but you could only get it free with a  Sale-A-Bration purchase.  Now you can put it on your order to purchase through May 31, 2013….after that date, it will be in the new Stampin' Up! catalog so you can still order it!  It's a very cute punch and I think you will enjoy using it! The punched image is only 3/4" x 3/4". It coordinates with the stamp set Ciao, Baby! in the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog.  You need this fun Petite Curly Label Punch in your Stampin' Up! punch collection!   #129405  $12.95

Here’s an easy tip I accidentally discovered the other day when I was too lazy to get up and find a scrap piece of Daffodil Delight card stock! I had a piece of Whisper White card stock handy, so I grabbed a Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Marker and scribbled a solid blob of color on the Whisper White. Then I punched the shape out of it with my Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack #118309. I was using it for the flower on the hat of my punch art leprechaun in THIS post.

Just think about it….if you didn’t have a certain color of card stock but you had the marker, you can color on a piece of Whisper White or Very Vanilla card stock and use that to punch or maybe even to stamp on.  Then you can punch or cut and you have the color you want! It might not work in all cases, but if you just don’t want to get up from the table, this might be a handy tip!  Especially if you have Shimmery White card stock or the Watercolor paper where you can play with color a little bit, you might color with a couple different colors in an area, maybe even spritz them…just experiment, and see what you come up with! Now I think I want to go play more with this idea!

Stamping is for fun!

Don’t forget, Sale-A-Bration ends Friday, March 22……that is THIS coming Friday! Be sure to get your order in! Contact me, or put it in online yourself at my Online Store!
