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.

Remember you can earn free products when using the month's Hostess Code: G4D4XRXG (also shown above) when placing your May online order.  This month's gift will be a package of the Basic White Jewels.  These are perfect for every card, especially when you color them with your Stampin' Up!© Markers!  Please remember that Customer Service can help you with placing on line orders and with using Hostess Codes.

Remember to ask me about joining my TEAM!  It's a great way to not only receive great products as part of your Starter Kit, but also to receive 20% off all your future orders.  There's no requirements for selling, parties, or even purchasing more after your Starter Kit.  You can email me at: CreatingTreasures123@gmail.com for more information.

Thank You Card Blog With the Bertucci's -- March 2023

 SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

Doesn't it seem we were just celebrating a new year arrival and now it's SPRING!

Of course there's some of you that are still feeling the effects of winter, but here on the Florida's Gulf Coast, it's definitely Spring...temps in the 80's most days.  Although I've lived here over 35 years, I still am never ready to see the cool weather leave and the hot weather return.  So I'm enjoying SPRING!

I do love seeing all the flowers blooming gorgeous colors and the green leaves on our trees.  And I am excited to create cards showing off the lovely Spring colors and flowers.  I'm sure there are many examples throughout this blog hop.  

This Blog Hop is created through the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Training Program provided by Bruno and Kylie Bertucci.  We, Demonstrators, participate in the training program provided by the Bertucci's to help us build a successful Stampin' Up! business and to reach some goals we have set for ourselves.  We really appreciate your support. The blog hop presents beautiful stamping ideas and creative inspiration from over 30 Stampin' Up! International Demonstrators.

In this blog hop, you will see cards made using not only the products in our 2022 - 2023 Annual Catalog and January - April 2023 Mini Catalog, but also cards showcasing new products just released at the beginning of March such as the new Bundle: Irresistible Florals and products from our new ONLINE Exclusive Collection.

Below you will see my card using the Irresistible Florals Bundle.  If you would like instructions for the Book Card, please sign up for my newsletter. Everyone signed up by March 30 will receive an email with the instructions.

The card above includes the circle formed with the die from the Irresistible Florals Bundle.  I just love the tiny circles that are placed on the thin circle lines.  This special cut adds interest to any paper that is placed underneath.  In this case, I used some floral paper that coordinates with the card stock.  The "book card fold" style focuses on the beautiful colors of the flowers.  The beautiful simplicity of the die provides unlimited uses including birthday, thank you, holiday, or wedding, etc.

The card below was made using the same bundle!  The stamp set includes beautiful flowers which can be stamped and then cut out with the dies.  And there's coordinating Designer Paper which includes the green leaves one shown below.  And if that's not enough, there's flower paper which can be fussy cut (as I did in creating the card below) or cut you can use the dies! So many options!

Thank you for visiting my blog. Make sure you check the new stamps and dies that were released at the beginning of March.   

For more beautiful cards using various products from Stampin' Up!©, be sure to visit the blogs listed below.  And please leave comments, we Demonstrators appreciate them.

Thank You Blog with the Bertucci's -- February 2023

 

Welcome to the February 2023 Demonstrator Training Blog Hop.

This Blog Hop is provided by Bruno and Kylie Bertucci as part of their Demonstrator Training Program.  Over 30 Demonstrators from throughout the world participate each month in this blog hop.  It is filled with information on their beautiful Thank You cards using the Stampin' Up!© products.  

The stamp set I am showcasing is part of the Sale-a-Bration products available until then end of February (unless sold out).  Sale-a-Bration is a special event whereby customers can earn FREE products when they purchase $50 or more on their order.  The products include stamp sets and dies, designer paper, punches and other select products .

The stamp set I used on the cards for my Thank You cards below is Beautifully Happy.  This is one of the stamp sets you can receive FREE from Stampin' Up! during the Sale-a-Bration event.  The event ends on February 28th, don't pass this set...just look at the options of single stamping, 2 stamping flowers and leaves, a tiny bumble bee, great sentiments and so much more!

The card was made using the softer side of the Rings of Love Designer Paper, along with Petal Pink card stock and Petal Pink Metallic Edge Ribbon.  The background created using Petal Pink ink and a blending brush. gave the Mint Macaroon stamped image a softness.  

This stamp set can be used with this same design over and over again using different Designer Paper and colors found in that paper for the ink and ribbon. The stamp set can be used over and over again creating fresh and new cards.

I would appreciate your comments on my cards below.  Thanks again for stopping by my blog. To see other Demonstrators beautiful cards, select one of the names below and hop along.
