Add In Color to Your Creation Station

It’s easy to grow to love a color as you use it to make pretty projects, but with this year’s IN COLORS (coming in May), it was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!

Don’t those colors just make you CHEERFUL? Paired with stripes and dots, they create a very happy card. Also a peek at the coming “Attention Shoppers” stamp set arriving with the new annual catalog in May!

To serve my customers who want to collect them ALL (but want to spread it out over a few months), I’ve designed an IN COLOR COLLECTORS CLUB where you join to receive each color one month at a time, with a sampling of ALL the products in that color (only a few of the items are shown below)!

Here’s how it works:

Each month (starting May through September 2024), you will receive one each of the new IN COLORS:

  • Classic Ink Pad
  • Classic Ink Refill
  • Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack
  • 4 sheets of card stock
  • Four 6″x6″ pieces of Designer Series Paper 
  • 2 yards of ribbon
  • One 6″ x 6″ piece of Glimmer Paper
  • The Stampin’ Write Marker of the same color

+ PLUS a bonus embellishment sample each month!

+ PLUS an exclusive project tutorial – supplies for the project will be included FREE (you’ll use your own ink and any stamp set to complete the project)

** BONUS: At the completion of the club, you’ll receive the Basic Beige Bonus FREE (Classic Ink Pad and Ink Refill, 4 pieces of 8.5″ x 11″ card stock and 2 yards of 3/8″ ribbon) with your Pretty In Pink color collection.

Monthly Club Membership Fee: $45 (plus $6 for shipping or pick up from Loni’s house in Hurricane, UT). 

Too impatient to wait 5 months and collect them all? I have two options for your immediate gratification:

You can earn the Basic Beige Bonus FREE when you order ALL of these items in May or June 2024 from my Stampin’ Up! Store!

  • The 2024-2026 In Color Ink Pad bundle (Item #165058)

The Exclusive Project Tutorials will also be sent to you via email (over 5 months) if you choose to make a bulk purchase of all the colors, but only the complimentary project supplies will only be included in the monthly club kits.

Analogous Colors- What? And How to Use them

Another lesson in COLOR CONFIDENCE!

Analogous colors are three to five colors NEXT TO EACH OTHER on the color wheel. When used together, they create a peaceful, harmonious project that flows.

I store my ink pads by Stampin’ Up! color family, but I store my card stock in rainbow order (see below), which makes choosing analogous colors a piece of cake! To create today’s card, I started with Calypso Coral card stock (reminds me of my favorite roses beginning to bloom in my yard!) and chose the two colors right before it: Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo.

Then I made the same card design and tried a different analogous color scheme, pulling Berry Burst and the colors on either side of it: Blackberry Bliss and Moody Mauve (new)!

Here are the 2023-2024 Stampin’ Up! Colors in Rainbow order:

  • Cherry Cobbler
  • Real Red
  • Poppy Parade
  • Sweet Sorbet
  • Melon Mambo
  • Flirty Flamingo

Here’s my HIGHLY HUMAN explanation of Analagous colors and a simple fun-fold card (that I only mess up a few times…thank goodness for the ability to skip ahead on YouTube!):

There are a few days left to join the 2023-2025 In Color Club, where you’ll collect all the color collection products in the 5 new In Colors over the next 5 months. YOU CAN BE PART OF THE CLUB from anywhere in the U.S.A. ~ sign up by May 31, 2023 and learn more here:

Home Decor SU! Dollar Tree Style (+ Stamp Clubs!)

It’s hard to resist wandering the aisles of the dollar store…it’s a treasure hunt, and the find of these decor pieces stirred up my creative juice:

You can paint them -or leave them natural- and use your favorite Designer Series Paper to put inside the circle! My version is painted white and I used the Hues of Happiness paper (now sold out on the Last Chance Sale).

Then I used the Alphabet a la Mode Dies to spell out a favorite quote (or ” ________’s Stampin’ Studio” if you are decorating your craft space). If you adhere Adhesive Sheets to the back of a piece of black craft foam, you’ll be able to cut out the letters on your Cut & Emboss machine and attach them to your sign easier. Foam doesn’t keep as rigid a shape as paper, but a TIP is to lay a ruler or straight edge down on your paper to line the letters up on BEFORE you adhere the paper inside the frame!

It’s nice to have dimensional letters that are black on all edges with the craft foam.

This was a project we made at our last Stamp Club in April– We start a NEW CLUB in June (meeting every other month) and if you are in Southern Utah, you can sign up to be part of the club or learn more here:

NOT IN SOUTHERN UTAH? I’ve got you!

You can host your own virtual party, join my team and start your own club OR be a part of my IN COLOR CLUB from ANYWHERE!

Each month from May 2023 through September 2023, you will receive one of the new IN COLOR:

  • Classic Ink Pad
  • Classic Ink Refill
  • Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack
  • 5 sheets of Card Stock
  • Two 6″x6″ pieces of Designer Series Paper
  • 2 yards of ribbon

PLUS a bonus embellishment each month!

PLUS an exclusive project tutorial (supplies for the project will be included FREE, you’ll use your own ink and any stamp set to complete the project)

PLUS each month a member of the club will receive a set of the five 2023-2025 In Color Stampin’ Write Markers FREE until everyone has a set!

This will be the order in which the colors will arrive: May- Boho Blue, June- Copper Clay, July- Wild Wheat, August- Moody Mauve and September- Pebbled Path

Monthly Cost: $35 each month (plus $6 for shipping to you if you can’t pick up from Loni’s house in Hurricane, UT).

Summer Sampler & Stamp Club

The forecast shows SUNSHINE and STAMPING are in your future!

My friend Sue & I are hosting the next class for our year of seasonal home decor and the Summer Sampler one is sure to be a fun one! The class is just $12 and doesn’t include the frame.

Summer Sampler Class

Thursday, June 2nd –  10 am OR 7 pm

350 S. 400 W. Hurricane, UT

Since I’ve moved (back) to southern Utah, I’m starting a new stamp club that meets every other month, with each member taking turns to earn free products! The clubs will be held in my home (so you won’t have to clean your house!) and club members will make 2 projects for free. Wouldn’t it be nice to join with a friend so you had something creative to look forward to together? You could go to dinner before the club and make it a whole evening out!

The first club will be June 16th in Hurricane and is limited to 6 people, so learn more and join the club by clicking on the button below!

NEW Catalog Kickoff & Giveaway!

catalog kickoff

Today is the first day of the NEW Stampin’ Up! Catalog year and it’s something to CELEBRATE! You can view the catalog ONLINE or you can get your own copy to take with you to the ball games, swimming pool and in the car during family vacation by attending my Open House this Saturday from 2-5 pm.

Another way to get a catalog is to host a party (in your home or on Facebook) or join my Creative Juice Stamp Club: You can join from anywhere in the U.S. and there are plenty of perks!

To celebrate the first day of the catalog, I’m giving away a stack of Color Theory Designer Series Paper and Glitter Enamel Dots to someone who comments with their FAVORITE NEW PRODUCT by Monday, June 5th!

 

Need an Excuse to Run Away? Join a Club!

Stamp club members look forward to a night with adult conversation over crafts and often linger longer while family gets to bed or significant other is watching sports 🙂 Some clubs meet in the daytime while the kids are at school, so their family is none-the-wiser!

There is ALWAYS food, laughter, friendship and STAMPING.

If you need an excuse to exercise those flabby creative muscles, a stamp club will help you tone them up! Download a club form to answer questions you may have and get it to me ASAP to join as most clubs begin in JULY.

If you are in Utah, but not in Utah County, I can find a demonstrator close to you OR help you start a Stampin’ Up! business of your own!

Just want to host a party one time? Of COURSE!

Let’s plan a crafting class that your friends will want to attend! We can even do one online. 
Just give me a call at 801-376-8685.
