Circle Circus meets Cracked Glass technique

Today's card showcases the Circle Circus stamp set which is part of the National Scrapbooking Special this month. Who doesn't love a way to get some free brads?!? I love this card and I will say that I will miss Bermuda Bay when it retires next month.  Speaking of retiring colors, make sure you've placed your orders for your favorite colors on the Fond Farewell list.  Some of them are starting to run out so make sure you figure out what you need and get your orders in now before they run out of your favorites!   If you haven't heard, Stampin' Up! is retiring 30 colors as part of the Color Renovation.  For more details, check out my blog post here.  

The technique featured on this card is the Cracked Glass technique.  To achieve the crackled look, first stamp your image(s) on neutral cardstock.  Then rub versamark over your entire piece of paper and heat emboss it with Glassy Glaze enamel.  Repeat versamark and Glassy Glaze embossing another 3 times.  Place this piece in the freezer for a few minutes.  Remove from freezer and bend paper so it will crack.  Repeat cracking in different directions until you achieve you desired look. 

If you have any questions on this or any other project here, please leave me a comment here.  If you'd like to order any Stampin' Up! supplies just click here to order online, and then click on "Shop Now".  A supply list for this project is included below.

Stampin' Up! introducing new colors....

It's time for change.... and while change is good, we all know that sometimes it hurts just a little, too.  Many times, something new means we have to say goodbye to something that we care about.  In this case, it's some of our favorite colors.   Earlier this month, Stampin' Up! announced a Color Renovation.  Many of our favorite colors are retiring, some of our favorite previously retired in-colors are returning, and some new colors are being added.  Overall, I think this a great thing, but I will admit, I'll be sad to see some of my favorites go.  So, here's the run down....

5 NEW COLORS will be added in July:  Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler and Marina Mist.  More on these new colors and a preview comingnext week! As a demonstrator I can order these early!!  Thinking about becoming a demonstrator?  Now's a great time with the special offer. Click on the previous links and/or email me for more information.

There will be 10 RETURNING IN-COLORS:  Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, River Rock, Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze (yay!) and Wild Wasabi.

Now here's where you really need to pay attention... the list of colors we are saying a FOND FAREWELL to:  Pink Passion, Pixie Pink, Pale Plum, Orchid Opulence, Lovely Lilac, Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst, Bordering Blue, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Brilliant Blue, Taken with Teal, Glorious Green, Handsome Hunter, Sage Shadow, Mellow Moss, Green Galore, Gable Green, Barely Banana, Yoyo Yellow, Summer Sun, Apricot Appeal, Only Orange, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Blush Blossom, Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa, and Going Gray.

 
You can click on the image above to view and/or print a full size PDF.  Are any of your favorites on this list?  If they are, stock up now, because after June 1, they are only available while supplies last, and only until the end of June.  If you already have ink pads, do you have the refills?  What about paper, and coordinating ribbons, brads, etc.?  I know I'm stocking up on some of my favorites. 

So, here's the exciting part...  our NEW COLOR COLLECTIONS:

 

Click on the image above to view and/or print a full size PDF to take a closer look at our New Color Collections!

Plus, here's some other exciting news...  We will still have In-Colors every year (can't wait to see this years collection!), AND they will now stay around for TWO YEARS. So every year we will have 10 In-Colors to work with (except for this first year).  I'm excited about this!

If you need to place an order for some of your retiring favorites, you can click here to order Stampin' Up! online.  Or, gather some orders from your stamping friends and host a catalog show and earn some hostess benefits.  So, what's your favorite retiring color?  Post it here as a comment and let us all know!
