In Color Club - Strawberry Slush Window Card

Hello Dear Friends

The first instalment of the In Color Club has finally made its way out of my door and into the hands of its club members.  And I must say....it is a GREAT way to accumulate the new In Colors.  

The club members each received their first In Color collection (full-sized ink pad, refill, marker, ribbon, buttons, 8.5x11 cardstock, 12x12 cardstock, DSP and Core-Dinations cardstock), plus a gorgeous monochromatic card and matching envelope to show them just how beautiful their new colours are to play with!

Today's card is the Strawberry Slush sample.  A WOW card for sure!

I have a new In Color club starting up and if you would like to be a member to collect all of the co-ordinating products in all of the new In Colors in the most economical fashion possible (plus receive some gorgeous hand-stamped cards from me), then let me know.  New members are always welcome.  And the best part is -- it is a virtual club so you don't have to come to meetings or be here in person.  If you live anywhere in Canada - you too can be a member of this virtual club.  Contact me and we can get you started on your In Color Adventure.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!  It is a long weekend for many of us here in Ontario!!  I hope, wherever you are, that your Sunday and your weekend is wonderful!

God Bless,     ~Cynthia     <><

Gifts of Christmas....Almost Gone

Anyone who knows me, knows I am a Christmas junkie!!  And being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator gave me lots of opportunity last year to really share the Christmas creative spirit with my friends!  And as luck would have it - or would not have it - many of my very favourite Christmas Stamp sets are retiring at the end of May.  So allow me to take the next few days to walk you down memory lane of some of the gorgeous cards I created with SU! Christmas stamps.....

Today's installment of Christmas cheer -- Gifts of Christmas.

Supply List
Stamps - Gifts of Christmas (retiring)
Paper - Whisper White, Concord Crush
Ink - Concord Crush
Big Shot - Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder
Tools and Accessories - 5/8" organza ribbon, Basic Rhinestones

I didn't realize that the card I photographed is one of the few that has no glitter on it.  Most of the versions I made of this card have Dazzling Diamonds on either the dove, or some poinsettias, or the lovely swoosh of the stems.  Yet I managed to photograph arguably the only card I made that is glitter-less.  Go figure!  If you think this card is pretty (and I certainly do) then imagine how elegant and festive it looks with a sparkling dove or flowers!  I will have to leave it up to your imaginations and trust you to picture it.

Our lovely sunshine today has me thinking forward to summer, not winter.  Nevertheless, I will take the opportunity to showcase a few more retiring Christmas stamps for you over the next few days.  I would hate for you to miss seeing how beautiful some of these images are.  And time is running out for you to be able to order them.  Remember, if you see anything you like, just e-mail me and let me know and we can get an order submitted for you before these wonderful stamps are going, going.....gone.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and God Bless,     ~Cynthia     <><
