Last Chance Lists are HERE!

Hundreds of products from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog and Definitely Decorative brochures are retiring July 1. Now is the last chance for you to get them before they're gone for good!

All of the stamp sets and Definitely Decorative Elements will be available through June 30th, but the retiring accessories are available ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! The accessories usually sell out quickly, so I recommend getting the items you want by placing an online order soon. To place an online order, please CLICK HERE and then click "Shop Now" in the upper right hand corner. Search using the item numbers of the products you want to purchase.

I know many of you have been anxiously waiting to get your hands on these lists, so without further ado, here they are!!

Masculine Birthday: Celebrate You

Today's card is for the Late Night Stampers Challenge #72: Masculine Cards! Father's Day is coming up in June, so what better cards to be working on than for good ol' dad?? Sometimes, I hear many of my stampin' friends have a hard time making cards for guys, but if we keep them clean with hardware finishes and masculine colors, it's a snap!

When designing this card, I also wanted to feature another of my favorite colors that I will be saying a fond farewell to in the Color Renovation: Sage Shadow. I used it for the base of the card and the punched-star accents.

Have you ever tried out the Stampin' up! Crimper? This is an "oldie-but-goodie" tool I love to use for adding a little extra texture and "umph" to projects because it is so simple and easy to use, not to mention FAST! It just zips right through the crimper and in seconds I have beautifully textured cardstock. I used the crimper on the chocolate chip strip of cardstock.

Ready to have some Stampin' fun?? All of the supplies I used are listed below. Just CLICK HERE to go to my Stampin' Up! website to order any of the supplies you need. Once you get there, click on "Shop Now" in the upper right hand corner, and use the item numbers listed below.

Need a hard copy of the catalog to call your own?? Email me and get the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog for just $9.95.

Color Renovation

You may have heard the big news: Stampin' Up! is renovating the color families. I am so excited for this change!! Of course, that means we have to say goodbye to a few of our favorite colors (oh, pale plum, I am going to miss YOU!).

So, today I decided to create a card using one of my favorite retiring colors: Cameo Coral. (Yes, I stocked up on Cameo Coral!)

I'm sure you want to take a look at all of the retiring colors, and stock up on your favorites before they are gone, too (some of the colors are already sold out!) To see a larger version, just click the picture below.

One of the most exciting parts of this color renovation is many of our favorite In Colors from previous years are coming back!! Take a look at the new color families (click the picture below): Neutrals, Brights, Subtles, and Regals (I'm so excited Baja Breeze is coming back!): The renovated color collections include 25 carryover colors, 10 returning In Colors (which are now core colors), 5 new core colors, and 5 new In Colors, for a total of 45 colors. Stampin' Up! will continue to offer five new In Colors each year, and In Colors will have a lifespan of two years (yay!! I always wish I could have more time playing with my favorite In Colors!).

CLICK HERE to tell me what you think about the Color Renovation! I would love to know which colors you are going to miss and which colors you are excited are coming back!

Happy Stampin!
