In Color Club 2016 – join now!

May is such an exciting month – it’s time to introduce the 2016-18 In Color Club!  The products I look most forward to in the new Annual Catalog are the release of the new In Colors.  Everything looks fresh with the addition of one of these ultra-current shades.  And to help you get all of the new In Color products, I’m offering them in a club format.  The club runs from June – October 2016 and there’s also an EXPRESS option again this year to get everything all in one shipment.

All In Color Club members will receive two free welcome gifts – an In Color Bookmark and a set of die cut and punched pieces to use on your craft projects.

Here’s a look at your free gifts.  Use your In Color bookmark to keep your place in your new catalog or keep it handy as a color reference in your creative space!  Your 25-piece die cut and punched cardstock pieces will introduce you to the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and give you lots of great accents for your own projects.

Every month, you will receive the following (multiply the list by 5 for what you’ll have by the end of 5 months!)

• A hand-stamped card and coordinating envelope featuring your In Color of the Month
• 12 Sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
• 1 stamp pad
• 1 ink refill
• 2 yards 3/8 Ruched Ribbon
• 40 Enamel Shapes (10 hearts, 15 stars, 10 mini circles and 5 small circles)
• 1 Stampin’ Write Marker
• (2) 6?x12? sheets of In Color Paper Slab DSP
• (2) 6?x12? sheets of In Color Envelope Paper

Because of the items that demonstrators can pre-order, the Enamel Shapes, the In Color DSP and In Color Envelope Paper are not pictured but will be a part of your monthly club packet.

This club makes it possible for you to have the coordination on a budget. Plus, it’s a fun surprise to see which color you’ll get each month!

All kits are packaged with care. $5.70 shipping will be added on to your total each month and your goodies will be sent via a Priority Flat Rate Mailer. If you want “in” just follow these steps!

1. E-mail me at krisshuels@gmail.com to let me know that you want to join.
2. You’ll provide me with your credit card information and your card will be charged between the 1st and 10th of the month for $26 plus $5.70 shipping for a total of $31.70 for 5 months (June – October).
3. Every month, between the 25th and 30th of the month, you’ll receive your In Color package in the mail with an assortment of products featuring one of the In Colors and a hand-stamped card to match your month’s color (one of the ones featured above). You’ll receive a different color each month until you have all 5 colors.
4. You’ll be sent your Welcome Gifts with your first month’s shipment.

Feeling a bit impatient and want all of your colors right away?  Just choose the In Color Club EXPRESS and get EVERYTHING mailed to you in one shipment with one payment. You’ll spend more at one time, but you’ll save on shipping. And you’ll get all of your products right away! And you’ll still receive your FREE Welcome Gifts and 5 months of In Color card set pdf tutorial downloads.

Watercolor Wings and Bold Butterfly Framelits

I’m sure by now you’ve seen lots and lots of samples using the coordinating products Watercolor Wings stamp set and the Bold Butterfly Framelits by Stampin’ Up!  But really, the possibilities are endless!  And you save by purchasing both in a bundle!

• I’m totally hooked on the new 2015-17 In Colors.  I just can’t get enough of them!  And in my opinion using Basic Black with them just makes them pop.  I tried using the Tip Top Taupe as the card base and butterfly, and it just wasn’t as pretty.  Check out another card using 2015-17 In Colors and Basic Black HERE.
• I began by running a strip of Delightful Dijon cardstock through the Big Shot with the brand new Elegant Dots Embossing Folder.  Another great one to use would be Fluttering with the embossed butterflies.
• Rounding the corners on the Mint Macaron cardstock softens the look and coordinates better with the Watermelon Wonder cardstock circle which was cut with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch.  The leaf that’s stamped tone on tone comes from World of Dreams stamp set.
• Now for the fun part – creating our butterfly!  I ran Basic Black cardstock through the Big Shot with the Bold Butterfly Framelit.  Then I used the framelit to trace a butterfly on the Watermelon Wonder Designer Paper.  I cut it out by hand with my Paper Snips and glued on the Basic Black piece over the top with a 2-Way Glue Pen.  After gluing, you can go back and trim more paper off if necessary.  I stamped the antennae on the circle then adhered the butterfly to the circle with one Dimensional in the center.

• This beautiful sentiment is contained in the Watercolor Wings stamp set.  I love what it says and I love the font!  I stamped in Black Memento Ink – my black ink of choice for most projects.
• Now for some accessorizing!  The sweet resin flower is from the new In Color Blossom Accents – 4 each of all 5 colors in a package!
• The four black shiny circle accents are White Perfect Accents colored with a Sharpie.  You can color them any color you choose, and they’re self adhesive.

Do you love the 2015-17 In Colors as much as I do?  Why not join my In Color Club – details can be found HERE.  But hurry – there are only two weeks left to join!

Happy June Birthdays with Layered Letters Alphabet

Happy June!  I’m in the process of making a big stack of these birthday cards to send out to my customers and team members whose birthdays are happening this month.  I’m sharing it here for three reasons:

1. Learn how to receive your birthday card – with enclosed 20% off coupon – on your birthday month with my Birthday Club.  Click HERE to read all about it and to sign up.
2. After seeing this pretty card, I just know you’ll want to sign up for my new 2015-17 In Color Club – an easy, affordable way to get all of the new In Color products.  Click HERE to read about the In Color Club and to join now.
3. The black and white designer paper is part of a brand new 12″ x 12″ paper pack called Everyday Chic.  Grab yourself a Designer Series Paper Share that I’m offering and receive it, as well as a total of  111 6″x6″ sheets of all of the new designer papers for this year!  Click HERE for all the details about my Catalog Shares.

And now on to the card details.

This card features almost all brand new product from the 2015 Annual Catalog that is being released tomorrow – June 2nd!

• I began the idea for making this card by realizing that “happy” has 5 letters and there are 5 new In Colors. – Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder.  What could be more perfect!
• And the best new alphabet set is Layered Letters Alphabet.  The stamp that creates the 5 colors behind the word is also included in this set.  I’ve owned alphabet stamps in the past, and this one has already gotten more use than any of the ones before.  And it comes in photopolymer so it’s really easy to line up everything.  Be sure to use Black Memento Ink with your photopolymer stamps.  It’s easy to remove without a lot of staining.
• The “birthday wishes” sentiment comes from another new stamp set called Build a Birthday.  You’ll definitely be seeing this stamp set more than just the sentiment used.  It’s a great cake-building stamp set, also in photopolymer so that you can line up all the different layers of the cake.
• Everyday Chic has all black and white patterns to it and is totally usable for all your projects.  I was fortunate enough to receive this package of paper on the Incentive Trip to Hawaii; it isn’t available to demonstrators for pre-order, so there is no code generated for it at the bottom.  Just know that on June 2nd, you can order Item No. 138445 for $11.

Don’t Forget!

June 1st begins a new month for earning Card Shoppe Card Kits!  Use host code W9JHQR96 when ordering to receive your June Card Shoppe cards completely free!  Place your order in my online store HERE.  You can also just pay for your card kits if you don’t want to order.  You’ll find more info on my free card kit program HERE.

In Color Comparison

I'm sharing some cards today created by my team member Pat Miller to showcase the new In Colors and to give you a comparison of the new color to some of the existing core colors.

First up is Baked Brown Sugar.  You'll see it's between Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.  It has a lot of gold tones in it – a really good addition!

Next is Coastal Cabana sandwiched between a brand new core color, Bermuda Bay, and Pool Party.  It's a very green blue and now probably my favorite blue we have.

Introducing Crisp Cantaloupe!  This is paired with Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral.  In my mind, this is a much-needed color – we really don't have anything like this at all.

Now for Pistachio Pudding.  I find this color incredibly hard to photograph for some reason.  The picture below just doesn't do it justice.  It doesn't have as much gray in it as shown in the photo – a very nice light green.  You'll find it between Pear Pizzazz, another new core color, and Wild Wasabi.

Last up is Strawberry Slush!  I thought it was almost the same color as Melon Mambo (to the right) but you'll notice it has more yellow in it than Mambo.  It's a nice, bright pink but not too bright!  Rose Red is to its left.

The new 2013-15 In Colors are sure to be some of your favorite colors to work with!  They're fresh, fun and very different from other colors we carry.

SIGN UP TODAY!  And to get all of your In Color products, why not sign up for my In Color Club!  Receive all of the Stampin' Up! products in all 5 colors, either slowly over 5 months or all at once!  Click HERE to get the details and join my club!
