New Colors, Retiring Colors and Returning Colors

Yes it's true there are some amazing color changes coming.

Of course it's going to take us all a while to get our heads around such a significant change, but I just know you are going to love them.

Will there be colors that are retiring that you wish were staying? Of course there will be, which is why it's so fabulous that we have this news way ahead of the actual change.

Will there be in colors returning that we loved and miss? Absolutely and I'm sooo excited because I've missed them and can't wait to welcome them back.

Will there be fresh new colors in our core color line? Yes, yes, yes and I can't wait for my samples to arrive.

Will there still be in colors? Oh yes and this is the strangest coincidence of all. Just last week my ladies were saying how they wished our In Colors didn't retire so quickly -well your wish is our command. From now on......

Five new in colors will be introduced each year - Starting in July 2010 (these will stay current for two years)

Five additional in colors will be introduced - July 2011

In July 2012 the original five 2010 in colors will retire and Five new colors will be added to the July 2011 collection and so the rotation will continue with five brand new colors every year and the five current in colors lasting two full years.

Isn't it wonderful that we'll get some fresh core colors and we'll also have a regular supply of trendy updated colors during the in color rotations?

My goodness Stampin' Up! have worked so hard to keep our crafting current and vibrant!

Feel free to email me reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and I'll be happy to email you sample color charts:

Farewell - Colors that will retire
New Colors
Color Families have been rearranged into Color Collections and I have a chart for those too
New In Colors - Ah, you'll have to wait until July as always for those

Before I go, I want to let you into a little secret..... Just after I became a demonstrator six years ago, Stampin' Up! retired some of my favorite colors - I still have a secret stash that I use from time to time, so please know that just because some colors will no longer be available, you'll still enjoy using them. Just remember to order any of your favorite color card stock and make sure you have a couple of reinkers for your favorite retiring ink pads and you'll be all set for years to come. I have a feeling that there will be an announcement very soon that some colors will only be available "while supplies last" - I don't know this for sure, it's just how things have gone in the past, so check your supplies and pop on over to www.elizabethreeve.stampinup.net and SHOP NOW.

Let's Get Organized

Hi there,

If you currently belong to my "customer" online extras group, you will already have received all the "Let's Get Organized" files by email - If you would like to join my "customer" online extras group, please email me and I'll add you to the group..........

With Sale-A-Bration almost at an end, I wanted to check my supplies and make sure that I'd ordered all the basics that I need for the coming months, so that I could take full advantage of earning some of the fabulous FREE offerings during Sale-A-Bration........

I discovered I was low on envelopes white and clear, adhesive, including sticky strip, dimensionals and glue dots. I also found that I was low on some of my favorite color card stock. I'll need all of these things in the coming months, so why not order them now and earn FREE Sale-A-Bration goodies too. Have you checked your basics?

One of the things that I hear most often at my events is that folks can't remember which colors they have and if they already have the marker or the ink and so I've created some "get organized" documents to share with you and they are attached. Take a few moments to take stock of what you have and then make sure you tuck your charts in your Stampin' Up! idea book for reference, updating it as you order new items.

I've often thought that our standard wish lists are too narrow and so I've created a new wider version for you which you can personalize and stamp on too.

Don't you love this year's in colors? I've attached a few things to help you keep track and enjoy these too. I hear we may be seeing some past in colors in the future - hmmmmm, I'm curious aren't you?

One of the Stampin' Up! offerings that I've used for years and absolutely love is the Forget-Me-Not-Keeper (105525). I have all my cards organized by theme and when I need a card and don't have time to stop and make one, I know exactly where to find one.

Finally I want to share with you my absolute favorite new Stampin' Up! posession - Scissors. I know they are nothing to do with organization, but they are just too fabulous not to share.....

You've all heard me rave about my Paper Snips (103579) and they are still perfect for soooo many jobs and I wouldn't trade them ever! My new best friends however, are called Craft & Paper Scissors, but if I see anyone cutting paper with mine, they are in big trouble - Why? Because they are the most amazing scissors for cutting ribbon - I'm not kidding. You know how you tie ribbon on a card and when you cut it, it just comes out wrong and you wish you could trim just a teeeeeeny little bit off? Well these scissors will do just that. The Craft and Paper Scissors cut through ribbon like a hot knife through butter - Oh what a delicious treat they are and it's an even sweeter treat because I saved for so long to add them to my collection.

I hope you enjoy using some of my "Let's Get Organized" charts and don't forget we only have a few days of Sale-A-Bration 2010 left.

I'm working on April's Online Extra projects right now and I'm looking forward to sharing them with you now. Don't forget to check my blog often to see any of my Stampin' News, it's updated most days. Have a great week!

Clear Block Stamps

I was absolutely stunned by the positive reaction my ladies had to our new style of stamps. Remember the wood mount block aren't going anywhere, but I wanted to show you our newest friend a little more closely......

Full instructions can also be found on the inside cover of the stamp case.

Because images in our catalogs are actual size unless otherwise specified, you can just take out a ruler and measure the image to see which size block you need for the stamp set you are purchasing.

Blocks can be purchased as single items so that you can collect them a few at a time, or you can by the complete set at a discount.

Once you've made the investment for the blocks, you'll be delighted because in many cases the stamp sets to go with the clear blocks are significantly less expensive.

Each block has beautifully rounded corners and edges and each one has a letter on the block to correspond with the size.

When your stamp set arrives, push out the image of your choice - as in the above picture...

Match your stamp to the corresponding image on the sheet that's enclosed. The cover paper over the image has a slit down the middle so that you can remove the protective cover from the transfer.....

Turn the stamp over and remove the protective coating to reveal the sticky cushion....

Place the sticky cushion side on top of the transfer and press down firmly to adhere the transfer...

Attach the stamp to your chosen block size with the transfer side on the block.....

Turn the block over and you'll see what you are ready to stamp.....

When it was time to clean my stamps, I attached all my stamps to one block and cleaned them all in one go on my Stampin' Scrub - AWESOME!

This new style of stamp is currently available in our Occasions Mini only.
