Everybody Do the Twist!
Lemon Lime Twist is the one In Color I am having a little trouble with. It’s sassy, bold, and wants to stand in the spotlight. SO NOT ME (well, maybe I am a bit on the sassy side).
Lovely Inside & Out was not on my must-have list, but it was on the preorder list. Demonstrators tend to get those preorder items no matter what because we know other demonstrators will create beautiful items and we don’t want to miss out.
For Tuesday’s In Color Introduction stamp class, I took both challenges and went to Pinterest to get inspiration. Pinterest did not fail me thank goodness. However, like any self-respecting demonstrator, I put my own little twist on the design so I felt it was more “mine”.
Wink of Stella is my new stamping obsession. When I look at a card these days, I look for a way to use WOS on it somehow. It just perks up that friend overlay perfectly.
Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst are paired perfectly with the birthday phrase from Happy Birthday Gorgeous in black.
Come on, everybody – let’s do the TWIST!


New Catalog, New Colors, New ME!
Last night I hosted an In Colors Introduction Stamp Class. Any customer that joined my In Colors Club got admission for FREE; otherwise it was only $5.00 to attend. In my opinion, our new In Colors can be challenging to work with, but they are a shot in the arm so to speak to breathe life into our color palette.
Here is one of the cards we made last night.
The Happy Birthday thinlet was EASY PEASY to release which made my customers super happy. When you have a full class of stampers and need some accessories, this is a great card too because there isn’t one “right” color for the bow addition. Love the mini circle dimensional on the back of the bows for easy adhering!
Every catalog changeover I reflect on what I want to work on for the year. I am truly blessed by a wonderful group of stampers who attend my events. I am EXTREMELY lucky to not want for customers (but I will gladly welcome you if you are interested!).
This year, I need to focus on branding myself and my blog and being CONSISTENT with posting. I create all the time – I just don’t take the pretty pictures and talk about my creations. I’ve been blogging for over 13 years – I know how to do it. Just am juggling too many things and wearing too many hats in my corner of the world.
In this technological age, we want information fast, clean, and easy. I am seriously considering a redesign of my blog which is scary and exciting at the same time. I have loved this design and still do, but stampers are drawn to clean or at least not so busy backgrounds. I may be chomping off too much, but blog overhaul is a goal I have for the summer. Bear with me as I work through this process.
