Hey, What's Goin' On? ... What's goin' on?

 What's been goin' on?  

A new catalog and tons of new colors! That's what's been going on!

It's true, the new Annual Catalog for 2023 -2024 was released on May 2nd.  The five new InColors were released along with several new colors.  To make room for all these new colors, some of the older colors were retired.  

The new InColors are: Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, and Pebbled Path.

The new Brights colors are: Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst (both returning) and Azure Afternoon (new).

The new Neutrals colors are: Misty Moonlight (returning) and Pecan Pie (new).

The new Regals colors are: Pretty Peacock and Blueberry Bushel (both returning).

The new Subtles colors are: Lost Lagoon and Fresh Freesia (both returning) and Lemon Lime and Bubble Bath (both are new).

The New catalog contains several stamp sets and bundles that were carried over from the previous Annual and Mini catalogs.  One of my favorites is the Playing in the Rain stamp set (Page 60 Annual Catalog 2023-2034).  Below I've used this stamp set along with some of the new InColors to create the card below:

To create the "Happy" words I used a stamp from the Biggest Wish stamp set (Page  53 Annual Catalog 2023-2034) with the colors: Moody Mauve, Boho Blue, Lemon Lime, and Copper Clay.  The word "birthday" is from the same stamp set using Early Espresso ink. The Happy Rabbit is from the Playing in the Rain stamp set.  The card is a great combination of the old Annual Catalog and the New one!

Some of the other cards I made using this same stamp set and the Designer Series Paper (now discontinued) are below:

I have a few packages of the Playing in the Rain Designer Paper so for those who purchase the Playing in the Rain stamp set from me during the month of May, I will send you a FREE set of 6" X 6" sheets from the DSP pack, as a Thank You! (They will be given until supply is no longer unavailable. Place your order ASAP!)

Another card I completed uses the returning Lemon Lime ink and card stock along with the "Sweet Citrus" stamp set and dies (also carried over from the previous mini catalog).

The new Annual Catalog brings introduces several new crafting supplies for us to use...but we can still use the ones on our shelves.  Share with me your ideas of blending the old and new in creating something new!  Post them on my Facebook page, Creating Treasures with Janice, and you'll receive a special gift from me as a Thank you.
