I checked with Stampin' Up! and it's okay for me to share these images from the demonstrator side of the Stampin' Up! website (truly, if you think the customer side is great, the demonstrator side is even better).
So – here's the visual guide – the Retiring Colours, here until the end of June 2010
Here's the new arrangement of Colours as of July 1st – what a way to celebrate Canada Day, eh?!

This month's set-based class and Class to Go features the Eastern Blooms set, and Stampin' Up!'s Thoroughly Modern Gusseted Envelopes. Nothing like fancy office supplies to make this girl's heart beat a little faster. (Yes, sad, but true).
This class will be held in Burlington at my Stamping Studio (aka my dining room table….) on Wednesday, April 21st at 7 pm. Cost is $25 and will include all necessary supplies (including the lovely gusseted envelope to hold your beautiful creations). Class to Go option also available, cost is also $25 for pick up in Burlington or with postage costs to your home. Please note that for the Class to Go option, adhesives, stamps & inks are not included. If you require any of the supplies (see the Class to Go page for more details) please contact me for special class supply pricing. You will receive step by step instructions (with pictures) and pre-cut materials (cardstock, designer paper and embellishments).
We had a family group attend the April set based class and they had a great time creating their bunny baskets and Easter cards – consider getting a group together to attend on the 21st….or if you can't make it that evening, contact me to make arrangements to bring the class to you and your group of friends!!
Apr 1, 2010 | Announcements, specials
While it's sad to say goodbye to Sale-a-Bration, April brings a new Stampin' Up! promotion to us – TWO-STEP INTO SPRING!
Two-step stamping is why I fell in love with Stampin' Up products. Components of an image are on separate stamps. I love that I can stamp the outline of a flower in one colour, and then stamp the leaves and blossoms in another colour. Or the stem of a flower in green, and the solid bloom image in another. Or the trunk of the tree in brown, and the leaves in green….you get the idea…(if not, contact me to attend one of my classes LOL!!)
Two-Step into Spring – celebrate in a number of ways…
1) Host a workshop with $460 in sales and receive the brand new Awash with Flowers set for FREE!
2) Customers may purchase the Awash with Flowers set in either wood mount (item 117062, $52.95) or clear mount (item 120549, $36.95; clear mount blocks not included).
3) Purchase a spring-themed two step stamp set for 20% off!
