Colour Revamp and Retirement List

Hi lovelies

So it is that time again for Stampin' Up! the retiriement stage where lots of products will be gone for good to make way for the AMAZING NEW products in the NEW catalogue which launches 1st June.

Not only do we have lots of amazing new products to look forward to BUT a Colour Revamp, So what is a colour revamp?

Well every 5 years or so Stampin' Up! retire some colours, introduce new colours AND bring back some retired colours on top of the usual new in-colours.

So what is going and what is to come?

Which colour(s) will you be sad to see go? For me personally i will miss Elegant Eggplant, Soft Sky, and Island indigo.

In order to keep bringing you the most current and on trend colours, Stampin' Up! decided it was time to give the colour collections a makeover.

Let's take a look at the NEW colour collctions

So colours are leaving, so if you are wanting ink refills for your ink pads or aany of the coordinating products, get them now! They are only available while stocks last and they are going quick!

Another update for you all to do with the ink pads is that we have a NEW ink pad case design, beginning 1st June 2018 all colours will come in the new cases which are AMAZING so much easier to open and stack-able. Ink refills are also being re-done with a new formula to stop the foaming which has been happening with some of the colours BUT don't worry this formula can still be used on the ink pads you already have.

You may have noticed all the ink pads are on the retirement list DON'T WORRY the above is why so not all of them retiring just the case design, so you will still be able to get them, the only ones retiring are listed at the beginning of this bog post.

So along with the Colour Revamp we have the Retirement lists

All retiring products can be found on my store >>> HERE <<<

Remember everything that isn't a stamp set is "While Stocks Last"

In the retirement you will notice the BUNDLES, the stamp sets and dies are carrying over BUT NOT AS A BUNDLE. So if you have your eye on a bundle GRAB IT QUICK to save 10%.

Well that is all for now but I shall keep you all updated as much as possible, don't forget I have a facebook group specifically for my Stampin' Up! where I will go live with any important info and so on. You can find my group >>> HERE <<<

December 2017 Catch Up

Hello everyone, First of all I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and I hope 2018 is a great year for you all. I have a lot of new ideas to put into action and I can not wait to share with you all.

Secondly I would like to apologise to you all for how quiet it has been here over December, it is a really hard month for my self and my family we don't do Christmas due to our own reasons and due to it is a hard time for us with the loss of my Grandad in 2003 and Brother-In-Law in August 2016 so with this on top of my health really taking a beating I had lost my crafty mojo.

So what have I been doing well even though my mojo had gone bye bye and not being very well I did want to try something new (I have a habit of trying new crafty things) I went a head and gave it a go. So I thought I would share with you all what I had a go at doing and I have to admit I loved every minute as it is something so different to my usual crafting.

Here they are 

A beautiful guardian angel (Christmas Angel) and a Wreath, I am over the moon with both of these and can not wait to try others in different colours and for different occasions so yes these may be making an appearance on my Etsy and Facebook on a regular basis but at the moment I have no idea when could but I shall keep you all posted.

I hope you like them as much as I do and yes I did put them up for sale on my Etsy before Christmas unfortunately they did not sell but this could be down to how close to Christmas I had listed them.

Apart from making these two beauties I didn't make anything else instead i spent time with my wonderful other half and family while trying to function through horrible Fibromyalgia flare ups and other health problems.

I am now feeling a better and raring to go with lots of new ideas, exciting things to share with you all and more so keep your eyes peeled for my First creation of 2018 for the NEW challenge for SheepSki Designs.
