Going soon.

Dear Friends and Readers,


The joke is certainly on us. It is mid April and we were hit with a winter storm that left us with several inches of snow to remove. We are all so tired of this weather. On the plus side, I had plenty time over the weekend to craft, clean up my craft area, make room for new catalog items, and enjoy time with my family.

The Retiring list has been up since the 9th, and I hope you had time to check it and also note the products that you love and that will retire. You do not want to miss this last chance to get them.



Today I am presenting a card using products soon to be retired, following DoStamper Stars 278. Oh, how I have loved the Definetely Dahlia, and I will continue to love it and use it. I am also using here the Birthday Blossoms for the foreground image and sentiments. The flowers and the leaves I stamped and then added color using aqua painter that was drained so the wetness that remained was enough to make the color move. The colors on this card - Chocolate Chip, Marina Mist, and Always Artichoke - are also retiring, but not Crushed Curry.

Thank you for your visit today. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Be well

Miriam

Stampin' Up! Retiring Colors for 2018 Occasions & 2017/18 Annual Catalog shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup 

STAMPIN’ UP! COLOR REVAMP!  Stampin’ Up! is making beautiful (I’m in love) but significant changes to their color collections effective June 1.  On May 31, 2018, thirteen colors of our core color collection and the five 2016-2018 In Colors will retire and no longer be available. I’ll be sharing more information on what’s coming soon!  The following colors will be retiring from the core collections along with the 2016-2018 In Colors (with the exception of Flirty Flamingo continuing as a core color). 
COLORS SELL OUT QUICKLY!  My advice is to scoop up the paper, ink pads, ink refills and coordinating products in your favorite retiring colors before they are gone.

RETIRING CORE COLORS are:
  • Always Artichoke
  • Chocolate Chip
  • Elegant Eggplant
  • Island Indigo
  • Marina Mist
  • Perfect Plum
  • Pink Pirouette
  • Rose Red
  • Soft Sky
  • Tangerine Tango
  • Tempting Turquoise
  • Wild Wasabi
  • Wisteria Wonder
RETIRING 2016-2018 In Colors are:
  • Dapper Denim
  • Emerald Envy
  • Flirty Flamingo*
  • Peekaboo Peach
  • Sweet Sugar Plum
*NOTE:  while Flirty Flamingo is retiring as an In Color, it will continue to be available as part of our core color collection.
Additionally - the ASSORTED cardstock packs, inkpads, ink refills, markers collections are retiring because the retiring colors listed above will no longer be included in those collections and will be reconfigured for the returning and new colors.  (more information coming soon)

Brigh Spring... Where are you?

Dear Friends & Readers,

Easter was just a delight in our home with friends who came from PA to spend the week with us. We all gathered lovely memories from this time. Hope your Easter was lovely too.

We got a bit sick, however. Not sure what was it. Congestion, sinus infection, not the flu, but just a respiratory ordeal that did not stop our fun at all. We are all anxiously waiting for Spring to arrive once and for all, but instead we woke up to white covered ground. Not the wake up call I was interested in.

Then, we can add color to our surrounding by crafting. DoStamper Stars 276 proposes a bold combination and it is just what I need. So tired of white and gray. Anyway, the images on this card are from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set. I love how we can stamp the back and cut the detail in the sale color and just turns out lovely no matter the color you choose. The sentiment is from Butterfly Basics. Of course, rhinestone must be added, so we know it is a bright and sparkly birthday.

Thank you for your visit today. I look forward to seeing you again. Be well

Miriam
