New 2012-2014 In-Colours Are Here!

What's New?

With the arrival of the new catalogue we also herald the departure of the 2010-2011 In Colours (Concord Grape, Pear Pizzazz, Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade).  I'm going to really miss them.  I absolutely loved Concord Grape and Poppy Parade.  Sigh........

While those wonderful colours are no longer available, Stampin' Up! has replaced them with some trendy and fresh ones that I know you're going to love.  The new 2012-2014 In Colours are: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit.

New Firm Foam Ink Pads!

They'll  change your stamping experience for the better. You're going to love
these new Stampin' Pads--just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:

• Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
• Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!  
• Will create wonderful solid images because the Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
• The new pads have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that's easier to read and won't fade or chip off!
• As a bonus, the new pads come with colour name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German).  Just choose your language, peel it off the back of the pad, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
• These pads use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• The new pads are available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colours.

Please note: Five of the Collections ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum and Tempting Turquoise.

All five colours of these reformulated inks have been fully tested and approved. While using the new ink formula in the old Stampin' Pads is fine, Stampin' Up! doesn't recommend using the old ink formula in the new firm foam pads. Any refills purchased after April 30, 2012, will contain the new formulated ink*.

Count Down to Sale-A-Bration 2011

Hi everyone, hope you're having a fantastic day!  Mine's been great so far.  I've been on the golf course all morning, had a great round and I've got the rest of the day ahead of me.  Couldn't ask for more; except for stamping time that is!   And I hope to get some in! 

From now until the start of Sale-A-Bration on January 25th, I plan to share some samples made by other Stampin' Up Demos that I'm sure you're going to enjoy as much as I did.  So without any more ado, I'm going to share a beautiful little 3x3 card set made by Diane Sisneros.  Diane who is an avid stamper and blogger has done a fantastic job of showcasing the 2011 Incolors by combining  cardstock, DSP and Ribbon along with the UBER cute stamp set "Punch Bunch", when she designed these 5 little cards.  Check out the pics of the individual cards by clicking on her name link above.  I know you'll want to drop by her site to see them. Have fun and enjoy and leave her a comment!
