I attended a Spring Stamposium this past Saturday, and used the card below as my swap card. The day was filled with stamping and stamping business tips and time with stamping friends. It doesn't get much better than that! Anyway, here are the card details. The stamp sets used are the new Awash with Flowers set that will be in the new catalog when it comes out in July (but it's available as a sneak peek during the month of April), and Heard From the Heart. I purchased the Awash with Flowers set in clear-mount, and it definitely helps to line-up these 2-Step stamp sets using the clear-mounts over using wood-mount and a Stamp-a-ma-jig. The colors used are Pretty In Pink, Old Olive, Confetti White, and Basic Black. The message image was stamped onto a strip of Vellum card stock and attached on both sides using Pretty In Pink brads. The Pretty In Pink card base was given some texture using the Perfect Details texture plate and the Sizzix Big-Shot.

Stampin' Up! announced today a change in the color families starting with the new catalog that will be released in July. While change isn't always easy, I'm excited for a little "shake-up" in the color groups. There are 10 colors from current or past In-Color groups that will be making their way into the new core color groups. Returning In-Colors into the new Core Color Families: Pink Pirouette Melon Mambo Rich Razzleberry Pacific Point Baja Breeze Wild Wasabi River Rock Tangerine Tango Riding Hood Red Soft Suede And, there are 30 current colors from the core color families that will be leaving. If some of your favorites are among these, order soon as they are available while supplies last!. Current Core Colors that will be retiring at the end of this catalog yea (or while supplies last)r: Soft Subtles: Almost Amethyst Apricot Appeal Lavender Lace Barely Banana Blush Blossom Mellow Moss Sage Shadow Pale Plum Rich Regals: Ballet Blue Bordering Blue Brilliant Blue...
