Come Sail Away OnStage Make & Take Sneak Peek Week Day 6

Hello and welcome to my blog;  If you haven't been watching I've been sharing all week the make & takes and sneak peeks from the new 2019 Stampin Up! Annual catalog that I made at OnStage over the past weekend from Onstage Charlotte.  Today, I am going to share the make and take for the Come Sail Away Suite in the new catalog, but before I do let me just say that these items will not be available till June. 
This fun little note card maybe small in size but delivers big impact.  The background is a mix of both designer series paper, watercolor panel, and stamped images. 

The multiple layers on this little note card are what gives a huge impact!  You have watercoloring, designer series paper, fuzzy cutting, embellishments, stamped images all on this little card that can be mailed.  Here's a look at the suite.

There are pretty much everything in this suite of products, I mean you have wonderful designer series paper, pretty embellishments, baker's twine, Stamp set, and matching dies as well as a new embossing folder.  This was one of the suites that was a must have for me because of the stamp set and the designer series paper.  You can take it masculine to feminine just by what you decide to use. 

Just remember that these products are not available until June 2, to customers, but demonstrators can get things earlier like a month before it goes live.  So if you want to have these products before hand you can totally get them by joining my stamping family.  Being able to order new products before anyone else is a great perk to being a demonstrator plus you get a 20% discount on future orders and the possibility of taking that to 25%.  So if you are interested you can read more about being a demonstrator by clicking here.   The big thing to know about being a demonstrator is to think of it like a Costco or Sam's Club membership with one except.  The exception is instead of only getting a god awful little photo ID worse than your driver licence photo can be; but you get products at a discount which is way better than just the photo id. 

Thanks for dropping by today, for another OnStage Sneak Peak, I have one more for you tomorrow, but I will have a simple stamping post for you later today. 

Happy Stampin'

Perennial Essence Suite OnStage Sneak Peek Week Day 5

Hello and welcome to my blog for day five of my OnStage Sneak Peek week.  This week I have been sharing with you little sneak peeks of products and samples that we got to see and make last weekend while I was attending the Local OnStage in Charlotte North Carolina.  So today I am going to share with you probably one of my favorite suites in the new catalog.  I am going to share with you the card we made using the products from the Perennial Essence Suite.  Here's a look at the card we did as a Make & Take. 

There are some great products in this suite!  You have new colored vellum, beautiful designer series paper inspired by the Impressionist painters of the 19th century, cute little embellishments, and a wonderful stamp set.   The Floral Essence Stamp Set features lovely sentiments and wonderful floral images great for anyone's style of crafting.

The Floral Essence stamp set also has a matching punch as you can see on the card we made.  When the new catalog comes out in June You will be able to get both the stamp set and punch in a cost saving bundle. 

Buy the way if you want to receive a free 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog I send them Free to my customers that have ordered from me in the last six months.  If you would like a free copy all you have to do is place a order in my online store and you will be on the list.   Or I can send you an invoice for $6 and I will be glad to pop one in the mail to you.  Catalogs will not start shipping until mid May.  We can not even order them until the first of May. 

If you think you are seeing fuzzy centers on the vellum flowers you would be correct.  This is one of the embellishments that will be coming out soon!  And, they are perfect for the flower centers, I will let you know if they fit the Daisy Stamp Sets.  Can you see that fabulous designer series paper on this card.  OMG! It's so pretty in person. I think I feel in love with this pack of paper due to my love of Monet's waterlily paintings.  This pack of wonderful yumminess features impressionistic details and the images used to create it was hand painted by one of the designers at Stampin' Up!. 

In the image above you can see a little sneak peek of not only this floral infused pack of designer series paper but a little look at the new 12 x 12 colored vellum as well. 

In closing let me remind you that you want be able to get these products until the catalog goes live in June.  I think it's June 2nd but I will have to double check my dates to be sure.  If you are looking at these products and thinking I need them before that; well you can do it by joining my team.  If you join now you will be able to preorder new products in May a full month before it goes live to everyone.  That's just one of the  perks to being a demonstrator not to mention you will get to save 20% on that and all future orders.  So for $99 you can pick $125 worth of product in your starter kit and then in May preorder select items in the new 2019 Annual catalog.  IF you would like to learn more you can click on the tabs under the join button at the top of my blog.  There you will find a lot of information that will help answer all your questions, if you still have questions or need help contact me and we can talk about it.  By the way I forgot to mention that your starter kit ships free.  If you already know you would like to take advantage of this great deal click the image below to start the process of signing up and picking out the items in your starter kit.  You can also add items on the last chance list to your kit and save more.

Let's Talk In Colors! Introducing the 2019-2021 Stampin' Up! In Colors

Hello and welcome to my Blog and YouTube Channel; today I am going to talk to you about the new 2019-2021 In Colors.  This years colors are very vintage looking some look very muted while others are very pastel.  I have seen almost all of them in resent fashion spreads, among other things.

If you don't know the In Colors are colors that are on Trend and we get five new colors every other year.  These colors are replacing Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, and Powder Pink.  If you want any thing that has to do with the retiring colors you need to get them now they are all on the Last Chance List and the in colors always sale fast.  You can click here to shop the retiring list.  So are you ready to see the five new colors that are replacing these favorites?

The new in colors are Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posey.   So I made five cards using the same stamp set to showcase and introduce these new colors during my weekly Facebook Live Last night.  You can see that video below and I  have a closer look at each color for you also.

Video Tutorial: 

If you are viewing this post by email you may have to click here to see the video.  Some servers do not show the video in the body of the email.  

Closer Look: 

Okay so lets have a closer look at each of these fun new colors shall we.  

Here's a look at Rococo Rose, with it's muted mauve pink color.  I really think that this color will be very interesting when paired with different colors.   And, depending on what you pair it with it will change the tone it appears.  

Terracotta Tile is the perfect cross between red and orange.  It has a earthy undertone that reminds me of Spanish tiles.  It has a rich but muted tone to it that will be interesting to see how it pairs with some of the core colors.   

Pretty Peacock is exactly that it looks like the color in a peacock.  Its a very deep teal blue color that's going to be perfect rich regal color that will pair well with purples as well as greens, and most blues.  If you think it looks like tranquil tide you would be surprised when placed side by side that Tranquil Tide is more a greenish teal color.  

Seaside Spray is a very muted pastel blue that reminds me of a winter sky.  This is going to be a color that's fun to play with.  

Purple Posey just by observation and I haven't tested this yet.  Looks like it could be layered with Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape as the lightest color of the three.  I did notice that when I stamped it off; it was a super light shade.  

Well that's a quick little walk through of the five new colors.  If you are wondering what stamp set I used it's To A Wild Rose which is new in the upcoming 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  All the new products that I am sharing with you today can not be purchased until June.  If you would like to get your hands on these items early it's super easy to do.  All you have to do is join my team and you will be able to preorder with other demonstrators in May.   So would you like to see a few of the color coordinating products that match these colors.  I am sure that you are dying to see a few more things right.  

Coordinating Products Sneak Peek!: 

Here's a look at all the upcoming coordinating products that match the new In Colors as well as a little sneak peek at the 2018-2020 In color embellishment.  We have new paper stacks in the In Colors, and new ribbon that match this years colors along with embellishments and a few new blends.  

Thanks for dropping by remember if you want to get these colors early you have to join my team to do so for the preorder in May otherwise you have to wait until June to get them.  Don't forget that the retiring 2017-2019 In Colors are on the Last Chance List and will only be while supplies last.
