Now Offering 2024 Color Coach Kits

Posted on by

The 2024 Annual Catalog is about to launch on May 1st so I thought I’d tell you about this new kit I’ve put together to get you started creating with the new In Colors and color combinations.

I love being able to reach for my Color Coach again to help me get inspiration. What’s a Color Coach? It’s a tool I use to help me choose the color combinations for a project. And am thrilled that Stampin’ Up! has offered us a digital format for creating them. Here is the one I’ve put together with some additions to what they’ve already given us.

This years Color Coach has all the colors found in the 2024 Annual Catalog and the combinations are different from last years kit, so it’s a must have for designing.

I thought maybe you would you like one too? So I’ve put together a kit and I’ve done all the work for you!

This kit can also be used to create a book if you wanted to instead. You can simply place your order with me for the Memories & More 6×8 Albums (163883) and some refill pages (144205) to add to the kit.

Greatest Journey Adventure Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Life is a great adventure – and the Greatest Journey stamp set (highlights some of the things that make it such a great one. While the set includes some wonderful sentiments the die set gives us some wonderful images to go along with them and since it is part of a Suite there is a lot of coordination that makes creating easy too.

Today’s project is a quick and easy one with a simple stamping off technique.

I love way this simple technique creates the look of depth using the pine tree image for the background on this sentiment panel.

Here is a video tutorial for you along with a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list.

NOTE:  The first share/swatch books if placed on July 1st can be expected in about 2 weeks after I place the order. Here is how my paper shares/swatch books work… first I save your spot and collect your payment, then I place the order, receive the order, cut and package the paper, package up your swatch book/share for mailing and then take them to the Post Office to ship.

How to Reserve yours?

You’ll need to email me ([email protected]) or call me (706 754-7124) to hold your spot ASAP, since there isn’t a lot of time before I need to place the order on July 1st so you get yours as soon as possible after the catalog goes live.

EMAIL me directly at [email protected] with your information listed below to save your spot in the share: (Note: For multiple shares and/or swatch books – contact me for a shipping quote… Flat Rate packaging can hold quite a bit).

When share/swatch books are invoiced together I’m happy to combine shipping for the best option

Please include the following information in your email:

1.  Full Name

2.  Mailing Address will be PayPal address (US only)

3.  Indicate how many Design Tool & DSP Swatch Book sets you would like to reserve

4.  Email for PayPal invoicing

When your shares/swatch book order fills, I will email a PayPal invoice for payment process (within 24 hours of receiving your order).  I will then place my order with Stampin’ Up! once payment is received for the Swatch Book.

PayPal is easy — and a PayPal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit/debit card.  When you receive your PayPal invoice by email, you can choose to pay using your PayPal funds or by a credit/debit card.  Simply follow their instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you. It should be simple!

And of course, if you live locally – just let me know if you prefer to pick up your items rather than pay for the shipping and I’ll invoice you accordingly.

Reminder: I will do my best to do everything I can to expedite your order. COVID19 has affected shipping. If it causes back orders, please be aware that Swatch Books will not ship until all paper has been received.
