In Color, In Fashion
Juicy fruits. Fairy tales. California. What do they have in common? No, not Disneyland® . . .our 2009 In Colors!
“No more Cool Caribbean?” Sally Stamper exclaimed in horror as she looked through her Fall-Winter Collection 2007. “But I love Cool Caribbean! I need more! What do I do?” Was this a familiar feeling last summer? Don’t forget In Colors are available for one year only . . . and that your time is running out to stock up on their favorite 2008 colors (like Purely Pomegranate).
If you’ve been into a home décor or clothing retail store recently, you’ve no doubt seen these gorgeous colors before.
They’ve been slipped into everything from pillows to shoes. And beginning August 11 you can feature these luscious and fashionable hues on your paper craft projects! Let’s meet our 2009 In Colors, shall we?
Juicy Fruits
Kiwi Kiss: This succulent, vivid green pairs well with so many other colors. Anyone up for adding a little strawberry-kiwi flavor to their projects? Kiwi Kiss is great with Pink Pirouette!
Tangerine Tango: Fiery like a Spanish sunset, this hot hue is the mouth-watering orange you have been craving.
Fairy Tales
Pink Pirouette: Named after a ballerina en pointe, this just might be the perfect pink. All we know is that it’s perfectly girly!
Riding Hood Red: Fairy tales tell us that creativity and daring will get you far in life, but a hint of girlish charm never hurts; hence the name Riding Hood Red.
California
Pacific Point: This stunning sapphire blue makes us think of sunny days spent lounging by the ocean. Isn’t it a great color for a fun beach tote? You will love this jewel-like hue!
Baja Breeze: This soothing color instantly brings to mind weathered surf-shops and antique long boards . . . with a Mexican twist. Nowhere but Baja, California, could inspire such a shade!

Wedding Shower Invitations
Sorry it has taken me so long to update my blog. I have been super busy even though school is over now and I have the next two and a half months off. One of the things that has kept me pretty busy is making these wedding shower invitations for my husband's cousin. I cased these from a fellow demo in Bloomington, but changed the colors to match her wedding colors. The words Brides to Be are embossed with silver and then colored in with the always ameythst marker. I used the almost ameythst designer series paper, and mellow moss, brushed silver, and black cardstocks.

Two for the Price of One
Did you know that with several of the sets from Stampin' Up! you are actually getting two sets for the price of one?
When you purchase Fun & Fast Notes, Greeting Galore, Pun Fun, and several other sets that have words under the image, you have the ability to create twice as many stamps. You do this by cutting words apart from the image. Mount your image on one side and the words on the end of your wood block. Viola twice as many stamps. In addition, by mounting your stamps this way, you are really expanding how your stamps can be used. For example, consider the star image from Fun & Fast Notes. If you mount the stamp as the catalog shows, then unless you want to mask out the "Congratulations" you are limited in how you can use the stamp. On the other hand, if "Congratulations" is mounted on the side, then you can use the star for Christmas, maybe the Fourth of July, a Birthday, or as an embellishment on a scrapbook page celebrating the star of this summer's little game!
So, when you get one of these sets, consider mounting the words separately from the image. You'll be buying one, and getting one free!
At Regionals they suggested ordering A Little Bit of Happiness as your hostess stamp set for having a $150 workshop and instead of mounting the four stamps on the wood blocks, cut each image apart and mount them on a set of dominoes. They still fit in the plastic box, however instead of getting four stamps you will get 26 stamps.
