Enjoy Life & Color Charts

Posted on by

I’m catching up from my Team Weekend Retreat this past weekend (but I’ll share more about that later this week), and so I thought I’d share some swap cards with you along with the final organizational item too.

These color charts allow you to see the colors by family in one handy place. You could also use this to see what you have since you can add each color as your collection builds.

Simply print these PDFs onto Whisper White Card Stock and start adding your cards stock, then stamp or add a swish with your marker – it’s quick and easy. I slide mine into a clear page protector. The charts also have the Item numbers.

COLOR REVAMP CHARTS Brights PDF

COLOR Revamp CHARTS Regals PDF

COLOR Revamp CHARTS Subtles PDF

COLOR REVAMP CHARTS Neutrals PDF

IN COLOR 2018 CHARTS PDF

IN COLOR 2017 CHARTS PDF

You can find more of my organizations items such as Labels, Designer Series Paper chart that contains card stock colors, Framelits Case Inserts, and Color Revamp tri-fold chart HERE and HERE  or simply click on the Organization category on the side for even more items and past years.

And now onto some cards – The Enjoy Life stamp set is one of our NEW sets that was inspired by one of our Million Sales Achievers – that’s a big deal, and Connie created a wonderfully inspiring set with some wonderfully uplifting sentiments.

Check out these beautiful cards made with this set. I think this first card is my favorite with it’s tie died coffee filter background.

And these two use our Watercolor Paper (122959) and Aqua Painters (103954) to create a wash of color – the first with ink pads for a bold feel and the second with our Watercolor Pencils (141709) for a bit softer look.

And finally a softer look done in our NEW In Color, Blueberry Bushel and So Saffron.

Notice the ribbon? No, we don’t have this ribbon in So Saffron, but it is easy to create the ribbon color of your choosing with a Stampin’ Write Marker and our 1/8″ Sheer Whisper White Ribbon (144172).

So different but yet all so beautiful.

2018 Annual Catalog Kick Off & More

Posted on by

Saturday I held my 2018 Annual Catalog Kick Off and so I thought I’d share some information and photos from the event along with one of the projects too. After all who doesn’t love a tutorial?

These first photos are of some of the classroom displays, my son recently built this new cabinet for me. It’s still a work in process, but I’m loving it!

And everyone had a special treat at their place too. These were quick and easy to make with our 2″x 8″ Cellophane Bags (141703)

This sweet little nugget treat was made using our NEW 2018-2020 In Color Designer Series Paper (146963) and the Love What You Do stamp set (148042). It’s tied up with a quick little bow made from our Call Me Clove 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon (146951).

Here is what everyone’s spot at the table looked like

Everyone received a sweet treat, 2018-2020 In Color Book Mark, a Color Revamp Inventory Sheet in addition to a Shopping List, Catalog Corrections sheet, Catalog, and of course their Project supplies.

I thought you might want a couple of these things too. You’ll want to be sure to check out the Catalog Correction Sheet so you can mark your catalogs since there are some wrong prices listed in the 2018 Catalog.

Here you go – So you can print them off for yourself

2018 Annual Catalog Corrections PDF

2018 Color Revamp Color Collection Inventory Chart PDF

This chart includes Ink pads, refills, markers, blends, spots and card stock of both sizes! Simply print this off on a piece of Whisper White Card stock (double sided) and then score at the 3 5/8″ and 7 3/8″ marks along the long edge. It will fold easily into what you see above that way, and you can carry it along with you or tuck into your craft bag.

And of course – everyone got to stamp with the new colors and stamps!

It was a fun afternoon. Everyone seemed to enjoy the projects so much I thought I’d share them with you.

This NEW In Color just makes me smile-

Done in the bright and cheerful Pineapple Punch! How can you not love this cheerful In Color? This card is quick and easy to do. Why not check out my tutorial below and make some yourself?
