Monochrome Madness

I love the monochrome look. I decided to do another Mojo Monday sketch for this week.

Card Components:

Card Stock: Baja Breeze, Not Quite Navy,  DSP Floral District

Stamp Set: Love & Sympathy, Fabulous Phrases

Accessories: Ribbon board Punch, Dazzling Diamonds, Baja Breeze seam binds, large pearls.

I’ve been trying all week to come up with what we will be making at the Open House. I’ve decided on this one. I’ll have plenty of verses to choose from so you don’t have to make it a Get Well card.

I figured out where SU’s Leadership Conference in Jan will be!

Whoohooo!!!!  Can’t wait!!!

I thought I would do a Mojo Monday sketch.  Been trying to use some of the new In Colors. This card is made with Midnight Muse, Rasberry Ripple, Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla. Open Sea is the stamp set.  I used the new banner die  that’s coming out in the new caddy. I made the matted border by just glueing it on to another piece of card stock and cutting around the banner. You kind a need a steady hand for that technique!

Just a reminder about my Open House! 
DATE: Saturday, June 2nd
TIME: 1:00 – 4:00
WHERE: My Stampin’ Studio (contact me for directions if you need them)
There will be raffles, door prizes, food & a make-in-take.
Come see the new catalog and new In Colors and have fun looking at the catalog with other SU fanatics like me!

RETIRING IN COLORS

Here is a message directly from Stampin’ Up!

RETIRING IN COLORS

May 17, 2012As you know, the 2010-2012 In Colors will retire at the end of the month. It’s hard to believe that it’s already time to say goodbye to Blushing Bride, Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, and Poppy Parade!

We announced in 2010 during the last color renovation that we plan to refresh the Stampin’ Up! color collections every three to five years. With that in mind, you may want to hold onto your 2010-2012 In Colors supplies in case we add them to a color collection in the future.

Below is the link to the finished Nugget Cake Tutorial.  It’s 25 pages long so I don’t recommend  printing it unless you have a lot of ink!

Club members and customers who make a purchase in May or June get the password for free, just email me for it. All others can have the password for this detailed tutorial for $2.50 via Paypal. My Paypal button isn’t working, so if you just want to go to Paypal and send $2.50 to michelle@surette.biz and mark it “Nugget Cake”, I’ll send you the password.

Get your Birthday Nugget Cake!
