Hello Stampin friends! It's that time again! Time for another Roll of the Die. What is "roll of the die" you may ask?  Well, I purchased these stamping dies from Tada Moments on Etsy.  There are five (5) dies in the set and each die has different stamping elements on them such as color family, technique, theme, etc. Tamra is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so the dies have some Stampin' Up! specific references. So here goes... At the end of last month's video when I rolled the die, the elements were: Congratulations Texture Clean & Simple Coloring Neutrals What are the neutral colors? Until the end of this month (April), the Stampin' Up! neutral palette includes  Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Gray Granite, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate, Soft Suede. For my sample card: Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Basic White Ink: Smoky Slate, VersaFine Clair Nocturne Stamp set: Desert Details, Thanks a Bunch Dies: Desert Details ...

Hello, stamping friends! Such a simple card yet so much fun...except for the research part of course...lol. I knew I wanted the colors to be in rainbow 🌈 order, but I didn't quite know exactly what that was so I called on my trusted friend.  I searched Google and then chose my Stampin' Up! colors. For the most part, I stayed in the regal tones. For the next one maybe I'll go more toward the subtle. 1/4" measurements to keep things very simple.  Base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" Night of Navy - 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White " 3 3/4" x 5" After stamping the colors in rainbow 🌈  order, I triple heat embossed the sentiment, and added a couple of rhinestones, and Voila...card is born. I'd love to see what you create with this simple design.

  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...
