Ink Color Revision at Stampin' UP!



Hello, crafty friends! I had so much fun at Onstage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin this past weekend, and today I wanted to share a few important details regarding the ink color revisions you will find in the new 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Stampin' UP! had to make the decision to keep the existing design of the ink pads or revamp them due to the mold needing to be retired.  As a result, Stampin' UP! chose to redesign their ink pads.

The new ink pads will now be:
1) stackable;
2) flip open without first unlatching the top;
3) contain additional stickers so that you can see what color it is when the ink is opened; and
4) the ink formula was changed by adding a defoaming agent to increase the stamping performance of the ink.

With this revision, they decided to also revise the ink colors - to keep them on trend with current color demands/use.
As a result, the following 13 ink colors are retiring:
Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, Marina Mist, Rose Red, Always Artichoke, Island Indigo, Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant.

There will also be 6 In Colors returning and becoming a part of the main color collection:
Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Blackberry Bliss, Mint Macaron, and Mossy Meadow.

And lastly, there will be 10 completely new colors added:
Merry Merlot, Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy Blue, Highland Heather and Shaded Spruce.

So if you see the ink pads retiring on the retirement list, you now know why. It's time to stock up on cardstock and embellishments of your favorite colors before they're gone!

Quilt card

This is a quilt card I made back in January at my up line's (Chris Smith) home.  I added the embossed flower using  the Daydream Medallions stamp set along with the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue .  These two stamp sets work well together.  The flower petals were made with  the Floral Frames Framelits die.  I will probably store these two sets together. : )  Recipe: Daydream Medallions, Madison Avenue (SAB) and Vintage Verses (SAB) stamp sets; Sycamore Street DSP (SAB), Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango card stock; Island Indigo, Versa Mark pad inks; White Emb. powder, Floral Frames Framelits, Postage Stamp punch, Square Lattice Emb. Folder, Pool Party SAB button and Whisper White Bakers Twine. Enjoy your day!  I have limited time to create my youngest child's birthday card...which is tomorrow!  Happy Stamping, and hope you get to stamp a latte!

Silly Old Bear Suite

 Happy Friday! Today, I have 2 very cute creations to share with you using the Silly Old Bear Suite . One Pooh Bear is a die cut right from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP , while the other Pooh Bear is stamped in Early Espresso ink and colored with the new Golden Glow Stampin' Blends. Every image on 2 sheets of the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP can be die cut out using the Sweet Old Friends Dies !  How cool is that?! The first card I made (on the right side) uses the new In Color Crisp Cantaloupe.  I stamped the frame from the Sweet Old Words   Stamp Set using Crisp Cantaloupe and die cut it out using the coordinating Sweet Old Words Dies followed by another Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock layer.   I also die cut 2 honey pot images from the Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" DSP and a tree stump from the Sweet Old Friends Dies.    I created a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" money holder card using a 7 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock scored ...
