Finally getting it together....

Well, we are back from holidays (if you could call it that).  Our cruise was cancelled due to the Novovirus so we basically went out to sea and then turned around and came back.  We are travelled out...On the way out we had to stop at three airports to get to Ft. Lauderdale and then 2 airports to get home plus my DH came down with the novovirus.  My left knee gave out on me - I have major joint pain and poor hubby had to wheel me around the airports in a wheelchair.  Then when we got home I got a really bad cold (from the fellow sitting next to me on the plane).  But finally today I am feeling a bit better so I spent some time in the craft room making some cards. Hubby is back to his normal self again and we will try again for another cruise next year.

A friend challenged me to make three cards using corrugated cardboard so here is what I came up with.  The little owls were made with the SU owl punch, and the DSP is retired from this last Christmas. The first card on the left with the three little squares - the stamp set I used is SU Apothecary Art and Fresh Vintage.  The ink I used is SU Early Espresso Classic Ink

 

SU Concord Crush - retired

I've always loved the richness of SU Concord Crush and was disappointed when they retired it.  Here's  a card I made for my friend Kellys 50th birthday..

Made the little flowers, painted them a bit with Twinkling H2o's and glued little gold beads in the centers with SU Crystal Effects

         Stamps : SU Curly Cute

Paper: SU Concord Crush, SU Twitterpated DSP, SU Always Artichoke CS

Ink: SU Concord Crush

Coming Soon: Stampin'Up! New Firm Foam Classid Stampin' Pads

Stampin'Up announced that they would be updating their Classic Stampin' Pads with a new Firm Foam design. The only thing changing is the pad itself.  The inkpad case looks the same and will have the same functionality as it currently does.  You will notice a few changes which are outlined below:

- The new pads will have better ink coverage for your stamps

- Light-tap stamping products flawless images

- Pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity

Comes with color name labels that you can add to the side of the pad for easy identification.

**Please note:Five ink colors have undergone a formula change to improve functionality and color stability with the new foam pads.  You will not be able to use the existing ink refills on these five new pads only as the ink has been reformulated.  The colors are:  Basic Black, Basic Gray, Marina Mist, Tempting Turquoise and Perfect Plum.  

These will be available June 1st when the new catalog begins.

Happy Stamping!
