June Projects--Exploring the New In-Colors Part 1

I admit I’m not sure what to do with the new In-Colours! Most demos had samples made up back at the beginning of May, but not me—I just didn’t know where to start. The past few years of In-Colours have been somewhat muted, so I suppose this year SU had to crank up the volume.

So far, however, I have two samples featuring Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party. Combining the Sweet Sorbet DSPs—with a touch of Evening Evergreen on the middle stripe—contrasted nicely with the solid Parakeet Party cardstock.

And a nice big piece of Parakeet Party DSP added some cheer to a Very Vanilla base and die-cut layer.

Stay tuned--I’m sure by next post I’ll have tackled the three blue hues!

 

Tuesday Tip--Recycle That Wrap!

I started posting Tuesday Tips last year on Facebook, but in case you don't , you can still enjoy them every third Tuesday of the month.

Today's tip reads: Check your municipality's recycling guide for info on recycling bubble wrap that comes with SU orders or reuse it. In Calgary, bubble wrap can be bundled in a transparent stretchy plastic bag and tie handles closed. Bubble wrap must be bundled because loose sheets can fly off the conveyor line.

Until next time...

🚨🚨🚨 Woo Woo Deal Alert! 🚨🚨🚨

Deep breath--best pitchgal voice--"Hi! Christine here for Stampin' Up!!, your crafting specialist!"

I indulged in making a video channelling my inner Billy Mays because pictures just wouldn't work! If you're like me and you love saving money, check out the Craft and Carry Stamparatus bag in the Canadian Stampin' Up! Clearance Rack is on sale for 60% off! the original price of $39.

The catalogue picture doesn't do it justice because I use it for more than protecting my Stamparatus--it's perfect for on-the-go crafting or anytime you need the right-sized bag.

But wait--there's more! The catalogue doesn't show off all the fantastic pockets this little bag has. Check it out!


Until next time...

Tuesday Tip--Thrifty Crafting with Sponges

I started posting Tuesday Tips last year on Facebook, but quickly got behind once I started school. I got smart and made a year's worth in advance. But, in case you don't , you can still enjoy them every third Tuesday of the month.

Today's tip reads: Stampin' Sponges (not in the current annual catalogue) can be cut up into pieces for thrifty crafting. Remember to label them!

Bonus tip: You can rinse out the sponges as well if water-based ink has been used on them.

Until next time...

Tuesday Tip--Keep an Eye on DSP

Today's tip reads: Did you know that the patterns on 6x6" colour family DSP changes annually? Look closely in each new annual catalogue to spot the differences.

Until next time...
