Mixing the Old with the New - Stampin' Up! Retiring and Upcoming Products

On November 8, I attended OnStage in Red Deer. OnStage is a bi-yearly gathering for demonstrators only, where we get to see new catalogues, play with and purchase some of the new products, as well as receive training, inspiring presentations, and get the latest news on our business. Imagine being in a room with hundreds of people who LOVE the same thing you do! The energy is quite vibrant!
 
Le 8 novembre dernier, j'ai assisté à OnStage à Red Deer. Il s'agit d'une conférence bi-annuel pour démonstratrices seulement, où on peut voir les nouveaux catalogues, découvrir et bricoler avec des nouveaux produits et aussi commander avant tout le monde. Nous recevons aussi des formations et présentations très inspirantes, et les dernières nouvelles de notre compagnie. Imaginez être dans une pièce avec des centaines de personnes qui trippent sur la même chose que vous! C'est électrisant!

New: Animal Outing Stamp Set
Retiring: Emerald Envy, Pick a Pattern DSP, Organza Ribbon


One of the big perks of attending these events is also all the prizes and gifts we receive, including brand new products that are not even available for sale yet. Because this time of the year means a transition between two annual catalogues, it's also the time when we learn about which stamp sets and other products will be retiring and not coming back in the next catalogue. This year was particularly special because of a colour revamp and redesign of our ink pads and inks. (More info about this in my next post). The new stuff is pretty exciting, but I wanted to properly say goodbye to some of the products we currently have, so I decided to mix them in with my new toys! 
 
Un des nombreux avantages d'y assister, c'est tous les prix et les cadeaux qu'on reçoit, y compris des nouveaux produits qui ne sont même pas encore en vente. Parce qu'à ce temps-ci de l'année on fait la transition entre deux catalogues annuels, ça veut aussi dire qu'on apprend quels produits seront sans suite et ne reviendront pas dans le prochain catalogue. Cette année est particulièrement importante car nous faisons une refonte des couleurs ainsi qu'un nouveau design pour nos encres et boitiers. (Plus d'info sur ce dans mon prochain post) Les nouveaux produits et couleurs sont plutôt excitants, mais j'avais envie de dire aurevoir aux produits sans suite, en les intégrant aux projets faits avec mes nouveaux jouets!


New: Animal Outing Stamp Set
Retiring: Always Artichoke, Pick a Pattern DSP, 1-3/8" Circle Punch

Nature's Poem Card Stack using Stampin' Up! products

 I am in love with the Nature's Poem suite! Look at those gorgeous colours, those soft natural images, and those amazing patterns! It is exactly my style and I was SO excited when I saw it. I just had to order the whole suite. (See it on p.142-144 of the Annual Catalogue) The suite includes: a double stamp set (10 images + 6 sentiments), coordinating Framelit Dies, 4 colour Twine pack, Silver and Copper metallic leaf trinkets, Cardstock Pack, and the Designer Series Paper. Shop the products  here.    I decided to make a whole stack of cards with the suite, using two basic designs. It is so easy to mix and match products and colours from the suite, that I was able to create several cards very easily. I chose to work with 4 different coulours (Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede) but there are so many other beautiful colours in this suite! For the card design above, I cut the DSP into a mat size (4 x 5-1/4) and for the card design ...

Nature's Poem Card using Stampin' Up! Products - with PDF Tutorial

 Every month, I give my team: the Chinook Stampers, a different challenge. I try to find ways to engage them and help their business at the same time. In July, I decided to give them a creative challenge. I prepare small kits with a number of pieces and asked them all to create a card using these pieces. It was so much fun to see everyone's styles and creation. I really enjoyed seeing how unique each card was, even though we used some of the same items. The elements I included in the kits were: White Baker's Twine, The Stitched Square Die Cut, The strip of Wood Texture DSP, the Soft Suede punched label, and the Corrugated Element Oval Tag. This here is my card made with these elements. I chose to pair it with the Nature's Poem suite. (See the list of materials and instructions in the tutorial posted at the bottom) It was certainly fun to find a creative way to incorporate all these pieces onto one card. it's a little different than how I usually work, so it ...

These colors are revealed with the annual catalogue, in July.  This year's colours are: Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, and Blueberry Bushel. They are very bright and lively colours, and they go together very well, which isn't always the purpose of these additions. I usually change my mind on which one is my favourite over time, but for now, I really love the shade of Grapefruit Grove. I wanted to make a sample of cards to showcase these new colours, and chose to make small...
