Retiring Colors, In Color Parade, & More!

March 29, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

Stampin’ Up! has announced 11 colors that are leaving the color line to make room for some returning favorites as well as a few new colors coming in May! We will be saying goodbye to….

Blushing Bride	Mint Macaron	Pear Pizzazz
So Saffron	Rich Razzleberry	Merry Merlot
Sahara Sand	Soft Suede	Bermuda Bay
Mango Melody	Pacific Point

If any of these colors are your favorite – I suggest that you order FAST as all retiring items are only available while supplies last. Order ink pads, ink refills, markers, cardstock, designer paper, ribbon and embellishments in these colors!

Also remember that the 2021-2023 In Colors Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, Polished Pink, and Pale Papaya are retiring (Fresh Freesia will be staying as part of the regular color line!!). Here’s a parade of projects with the 2021-2023 In Colors.

*The pretty pillow box die will be retiring also. 🙁

Yesterday I shared another card made with the Ginkgo Branch Bundle. If you missed that post, you can view it HERE.

See how simple it is to create using elements from the challenge board?! I would really love for you to play along this week. Just pick 3 and create! You can go across, down, or diagonal. Make sure you visit the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see what the other designers created this week! You’ll find the Link Tool at the bottom of the post and you can use it to share your own creation with us. Have fun!

Here’s the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Rules:

Create a new project. You can create any project and use any elements/supplies as long as it fits within the three elements (in a row, column or diagonal) of your choosing from the tic tac toe challenge board that is set for the current challenge.
You may enter up to a maximum of 3 times as long as the creations are new.
If you have a blog, you should include the challenge graphic in your post and link back to our challenge.

Thank You Gifts with Sentimental Swirls & Pretty Pillow Box Dies

March 11, 2022March 11, 2022 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 15 Comments

I love to make little gifts for my customers. I’m finally catching up with thank you cards and gifts and mailed them out this week. I love how they turned out!
Stampin' Up! Sentimental Swirls and Pillow Box Dies customer gifts - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
You can create adorable gift and treat packaging with the Pretty Pillow Box Dies. I was thrilled this die set carried over from the Holiday Mini Catalog. You won’t find them in the current catalogs; however, they are available in my online store. The die set includes dies to cut a pillow box that you can assemble and fill with small treats or gifts. You can use the embellishment pieces to dress up your pillow box, create 3D flowers by layering and offsetting the petal images, and cut out tags and labels for your box.
Stampin' Up! Pretty Pillow Box Dies - visit juststampin.com for ideas and ordering information - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love the assortment of dies in this set and can’t wait to play with all of them! For today’s project I went “outside the box” and used the large pillow box die to create a pocket to hold a letter opener (from Amazon) that I thought my customers would use and appreciate.

Here’s the details:

Cut the pillow box die from 5 1/2 x 6 piece of cardstock.
Stamp swirly flourish image (from Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set )with Versamark ink (for a tone on tone look). See below.
Fold and burnish along the bottom only to create the pocket.
Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the sides. Fold to adhere and create the pocket.
Stamp flower image from Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set using Black Memento Ink on Basic White cardstock and color with Stampin’ Blends. Punch flowers using Flowers & Leaves Punch.
Adhere flower to pocket holder with Mini Glue Dots. Color Rhinetone Basic Jewels with Stampin’ Blends and adhere to center of flower.
Place gift in pocket. *Could also hold a Ghirardelli chocolate.

I love to make my cards and gifts coordinate. Here’s a look at the coordinating cards.
Stampin' Up! Sentimental Swirls In Color all occasion card ideas - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This card idea from Sam Donald (Pootles.co.uk) uses her million dollar sales achievement stamp set, Sentimental Swirls. I love a versatile stamp set and this one really hits the mark! The stamp set includes a variety of all-occasion greetings and a large swirly flourish that can be decorated with the included flowers, birds, butterflies, and leaves images. It coordinates with Flowers & Leaves Punch (that I used today) and the Strawberry Builder Punch (which can be used to punch the smaller flower). Here’s a look at the stamp set.
Stampin' Up! Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set
I used Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers, punched them out using the Flowers & Leaves Punch and adhered to the card with Mini Glue Dots. I colored the Rhinestone Basic Jewels with Stampin’ Blends to match.

Here’s a look at each set. Do you have a favorite?
