“Announcing our Color Refresh! We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It’s important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
Why now? In 2010 we did a big color renovation and shared our plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep our colors on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!”
What this means to you, my customers? Get our your catalogs, take inventory! If you own those 10 retiring colors and you like them, you need to buy the ink refills for your ink pads, any paper or ribbon or accessories NOW. I predict they will sell out fast.
“Beginning on April 4, 2013, all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. We did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions.”
Get your favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog!
Retiring Colors are (and my 2 cents:)
Regal Rose(brights) Needed to go
Pretty In Pink(subtles) ok to go, kinda a strong pink and at least there is Blushing Bride added back in as well as Pink Pirouette
Bashful Blue (subtles) I’m going to really miss this one
Certainly Celery(subtles) I love celery but Pear Pizzazz is way better so I’m happy
Baja Breeze(subtles) My best selling blue, not sure how I will make it without Baja… 🙁 Pool Party and Soft Sky are pretty though
Riding Hood Red(regals) we had too many reds, so I can see why they are getting rid of these
Bravo Burgundy(regals) bye bye
Not Quite Navy(regals) It didn’t sell b/c of Midnight Muse but I love it…sniff
More Mustard (regals) THE go-to color for leaves. I’m sad. Crushed Curry will have to do now.
River Rock(Neutrals) Once crumbcake came on the scene, river rock fell off the planet. I’m thrilled they are adding Smoky Slate instead. Gray is way more current!
Hi All! I have a few samples to share with you today!
This one is a simple one I did using the new vine folder. That Vine Folder is one of the Sale-a-Bration freebies and is a must have, IMO 🙂 Love the Certainly Celery, Raspberry Ripple combo. The coordinating vine stamp is from the freebie SAB set, Madison Ave. The flower is from Mixed Bunch (annual catty) The greeting is in Espresso and called Perfectly Penned from the annual catalog.
Diane Winter made this swap for me using Wisteria Wonder and the SAB freebie set called Bloomin’ Marvelous. She layered it with Old Olive and white, really snappy!
And this last swap I’m sharing is from Kimberly Allen – love the Pacific Blue and Lime and Baja Breeze combo! She used the stamp set from the Spring catalog called Secret Garden.
AND for the Chuckle – I posted this on our Stamping School Facebook page but I know many of you aren’t on Facebook so this is for you!
Why Paper will never be dead in an electronic age….
We ALL like extra ideas and inspiration and even I can’t get enough. I buy stamping magazines, tutorials and online classes often. Stampin’ Up decided to create an online class called THE BASICS. I didn’t feel like I needed to learn the basics of stamping but I bought it anyway and it’s good! Simple projects but lots of good tips and even a few videos.
Section #1 is Stamping Basics. There are 7 basic projects and tips with instructions.
Section #2 if called Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and has 4 projects and 1 video for how to use this great tool for precise stamping.
Section #3 is called Masking, which is essential for any stamper to learn. 4 projects, 1 video
Section #4 is called Embossing. Heat embossing and other kinds of embossing for 7 projects and 2 videos
Section #5 is all about Markers & Watercolor. 6 projects, 1 video
Section # 6 is Big Shot Basics and some punches, too. 6 projects, 2 videos.
I counted 34 projects, with recipes, and 7 videos so pretty nice for only $14.95 and a great resource to keep handy.
I think most stampers will learn a few tricks and it’s a must for beginner stampers!
This is a downloadable ‘class’ created by Stampin’ Up. This class shares innovative ideas to get the most out of your supplies (from stamps to the Big Shot) with clever tips and techniques. Divided into six sections focused on a variety of topics, this class includes videos, step outs, and supply lists for 30+ projects.

I’m sitting far from home in an Ohio library now with not-so-great wifi SO this isn’t a pretty post. Stampin’ Up just updated us with this announcement so figured I had better email you all!
Here are the newest Single Stamps and you can view them all on my shopping website HERE
Here are a few things you need to know before purchasing:
These stamps are available on any order type-customer, demonstrator, workshop, or online.
You can find the stamp item numbers on the flyers.
These single stamps can be ordered in the online store.
These won’t be sent to you in our typical cases or packaging; they’ll be packaged in cello bags. If you’d like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four (item 119105).
This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
The stamps won’t come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you’ll need to buy a block separately if you don’t already have one. The recommended block sizes can be found on the flyers.
There’s no limit on how many pieces you can buy.
This offer is not available in Quebec.
Remember that this is a pilot program, so take advantage of it while you can!
Keep in mind that there is a minimum 6.95 shipping for orders under $69, then it’s only 10%. (that would defeat the $5 stamp lol) If you want a stamp and you see me locally, I can throw it on an order and you can get it from me at the next class to save on shipping.
