Mixed Bunch Class in July

 Are we ready for the summer yet? I am not sure it's really summer yet with all the rain this year. Kids are out of school and we do wish we have more nice weather so we are able to do more outdoor stuff. Since summers are always busy, but fun I decided to do monthly classes instead of clubs. You can pick from whatever classes I am offering and just enjoy the stamping fun. The Mixed Bunch Class in July will be hosted on July 20th Friday night at 7:00pm - 9:30pm in my studio. The class fee will be
$15 ( Class only)
$40 ( Class + Mixed Bunch Stamp Set)
$ 60 ( Class + Mixed Bunch Stamp Set + Blossom Punch)

Hope you have the chance to come and join the fun. I only have 8 spots so book yours ASAP before its too late.

The long weekend is coming up and hope you do have some fun plan for your family. Enjoy the time together while you can .Wish you all have an amazing weekend!

Love and Blessings,
Angela

Colour Q Challenge #143

It's been a long time since I've faced any challenges. I thinks it's time to pick it up and have fun again. I do love this color combination. Very bright and "summer-y", our weather has been very un-stable, raining all the time it's just been too depressing... When I see this colour challenge, it really gives me motivation to bring out my stamps and play around. I have been falling in love with the "Mixed Bunch" stamp set, with the matching punch. So here we go, this is the card I've come up with!

It turned out to be quite nice, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Happy Stamping!

Introducing Stampin'Up!'s New Ink Pad Design !

I am very excited to introduce the new ink pad design from Stamp'Up! I love it and so will you! The improvements added to this new design certainly made the even better than before!

Improvements include:

The surface of the pad is a firm foam instead of the current felt pad. They change your stamping experience for the better.Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
Light-tap stamping produces flawless images! In addition, our new Stampin' Pads

Create wonderfully solid images. The Firm Foam releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.
Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
Come with colour name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification! No more trying to guess the colour when they are stacked in the Colour Caddy - you can see the name now.
Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
Are available in all colours, including our exclusive In Colors!

Please note:
Five ink colours have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and colour stability with the new firm foam pads. These colours are

Basic Black
Basic Gray
Marina Mist
Perfect Plum
Tempting Turquoise

Hope you get the chance to check it out. I am going to have my New Catalogue open house on June 29th Friday night and hope you will come and join me to find out lots of new and fun stuff!

Remember to come back to visit and find out more information about the open house!!

It's time to say goodby!

It's that wonderful time of the year again (really!) when Stampin' Up! announces those stamp sets that won't be appearing in the new catalogue (did you know it's coming out June 1st this year?). It's sad to see them go but it makes room for all the new wonderful stamp sets coming. If you've been waiting to purchase these sets make sure you do so before May 31st when they will be gone forever...well except on those online auction sites where you'll pay double (or more) face value!


Some of my favourites that are retiring are:

Winter Post - like Dorothy said to the scarecrow "I'm going to miss you most of all!" - I LOVE this set. I'm really partial to the heritage style stamps and these skates make me smile every Christmas when I take it out of storage for the season. I use the "Post Card" image all year round and the french version of the set has the wording "Carte Postale" which is perfect with french themed sets (like Artistic Etchings)

Welcome Christmas - say it isn't so! This set is fabulous and really gives the feel of Christmas' Past. Sniff....

Wonderfully Worn - this is a really versatile background stamp - add some dimension to a plain background without distracting from the main image.

Medallion - YIKES - another keeper and one you have to have in your collection.

Flores Suaves - this is a Spanish set that isn't in our Canadian catalogue BUT we can purchase it and I own this beauty. Please click on the link to see the images. The BEE is to die for and the other images are very botanical looking - snap this one up!!

Charming, You're A Gem & Clearly for You - these little images are perfect for collage stamping.

Baroque Motifs - an oldie but a goodie - it's been around for a while but the flourish and the "medallion" style stamps lend themselves to many techniques including faux metal.

The accessories retirement list will be announced on April 25th and these items will only be available while supplies last - so don't delay if you see something you want grab it fast!

A heads up on the In Color collections - the five colours from 2010 - 2011 are retiring (they'll be five new ones coming) so if you love these colours make sure you stock up NOW before they sell out. Since paper, markers and ink are considered accessories these will be on the retirement list on April 25th and when they are gone...you know the rest of the story!

Poppy Parade (fresh, snazzy tomato red) and Peach Parfait (lovely soft peach (orange)) - boy I'll miss these colours!In Color retirees include - Blushing Bride (such a pretty, soft subtle blush colour), Pear Pizzazz (fabulous green), Concord Crush (vibrant purple that goes beautifully with Wisteria Wonder),

You can go on to Stampin'Up! or my business website to find out more information.

I am having a retirment party on the 2th of May Wednesday 6:30 to 9:30pm at my studio. Hope you can come and join me to see lots of fun projects that made by those retired sets and we are not going to miss it before its too late!
Come bakc to visit again for more information about the retirment party!

Love and Blessings;
