Color Refresh: Retiring Colors As part of our upcoming color refresh in the new 2023-24 Annual Catalog, we have to say farewell to some of the colors in our core collections in order to make space for new colors and some returning favorites. Products or product collections that include these colors are listed as retiring in our Last Chance List, and are only available while supplies last. If any of your favorites are leaving our collections, this is your signal to stock up! Many of these items will probably sell out quickly so don't delay placing your order if you can't be without one (or more!) of these colors for your crafting. Don't forget we are also saying goodbye to our 2021-23 In Color™ Collection, although Fresh Freesia will be added to our core color collection as part of our color refresh. Order quickly to get any inks, cardstock, ribbons, and embellishments in these retiring colors before they are gone. Although some products may be discounted once the...

  The 2023-2024 Annual Catalog starts May 2, 2023 We have a brand new Stampin' Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog launching on May, and I would love to mail one to you if you need one. If you already receive one from another demonstrator, please don't opt in for mine.  If you are a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, you receive a complimentary copy from Stampin' Up! It's one of the MANY perks of being part of Stampin' Up!:):)  I typically send a free catalog automatically to everyone who has placed an order with me in the past three (3) months. Haven't placed an order yet, there's still time.  Place an order of $50 or more to get on the VIP list. As you know shipping costs are steadily on the rise, therefore, in an order to cut down costs, I am asking you to request a catalog.   You must request before  MARCH 29, 2023 RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY

So here goes... At the end of last month's video when I rolled the die, the elements were: Monochromatic Subtles Sponging Ribbon/Twine "Thank You" Measurements used in today's card can be found in the free tutorial : Click the video below to see how I created today's cards and the links to the other hoppers.
