Hello Stampers!

Since last sending out an email to all of you, my copy of the new catalog came and I have been pulling from my workroom- retiring stamp sets ( I did not count them- I just know that I have 3 empty shelves awaiting new sets.)

retiring colors- card stock, ink pads, blends, and markers- although here I have pulled all the markers since the design of the marker has changed.

I have yet to pull designer paper- basically all of it since there are none that are continuing on- and I have a lot of paper, I also have not pulled any of the dies. 

I know that usually you might be seeing samples featuring retiring stamp sets etc. but I have found that to be frustrating since they might be sold out before you get a chance to order if you love it. So today I am sharing a card featuring a stamp set not new but is in the new catalog. I did use new colors though. 

The stamp set is Artistically Inked and has coordinating dies (no longer bundled). The new colors used here are Berry Burst which is a returning color and Bubble Bath a new color, I also used Granny Apple Green for the leaves.

I am planning a open house event here in the studio on Saturday May 6th 9-3, so you can come and see the new colors in person, stamp a little, have a snack and do a little shopping in my studio market place where all of my retired items will be. Items retiring at the end of this month will be marked down 25% and all previously retired items will be priced 75% off last listed price.

A quick reminder that Card Express in Salem is next Wednesday the 26th and you must sign up and pay no later than this Wednesday the 19th.

Here again are the cards we will be making -

I hope you all have a great week, be sure and Shop my online store today! Lots of great goodies still available -some discounted up to 60% off
