Colour Refresh 2013-14 Annual Catalogue

COLOUR REFRESH

In 2010 Stampin Up! did a big colour renovation and they shared their plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep their colours on trend. Well it has been three years and they are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning colours© from previous years)!

Below you will find the changes to the 4 Colour Collections that will be featured in the new catalogue. If you favourite colours are some of the ones that are being discontinued, then you have until 31 May 2013 to stock up on your cardstock, designer series papers, ink pads, ink refils, marker pens, brads, buttons etc.

WHAT THE REFRESH LOOKS LIKE

Q: What are the new core colours, and
what are the In Colors that are returning as core colours?

A: The four new colours are called
Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate, and Soft Sky.
 
The six returning In Colors as core colours are
Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party,
and Wisteria Wonder.
 
THE REASON FOR THESE CHANGES.
Why are colours being discontinued?



Stampin Up!retired colours based on sales history and focus group feedback.
They also looked at the overall colour offering and determined
what colours were not working with others.
 
They also sent out surveys, looked at trends,
and determined what colours are out of date, etc.



Why have some of the carryover colours changed collections?



With the changes, Stampin Up! found that a few colours fit better
in a different collection.
They have also organised the colours to be more
complementary within each collection.



Check out the colours displayed in their new collections!

Scrapbooking

Introduction to Scrapbooking Workshop 29 March 2013

 
The first in a course of scrapbooking workshops for newcomers to the pastime.
A great fun evening was had with lots of group participation in the various skills demonstrated
Lots of Easter Cake and biscuits too!
 
 
The conservatory set up ready to rock and roll
 
 
and of course I had to have some of my cards on show, to help demonstrate how different colour combinations can work well together. I also made some goodie bags for the guests containing mini creme eggs since it was Good Friday - except the crafters left without taking them. I'll pass them on with their orders
 
 
We spent time talking about what scrapbook is, and how personal it is, by capturing moments in time using a combination of photos or other memorobilia, journalling (either hand written or with the use of rubber stamps), and beautiful papers and embellishments. The other important discussion was about what tools and kit is essential if you want to do scrapbooking as a hobby.
 
 
I had a couple of Stamping Ups scrapbook folders for people to look at. the ring binder 8" comes in 2 neutral colours. The 12" post folder comes in red and navy with limited stocks.
 
 
The demonstration included choosing colour combinations to fit with your theme and photograph colours, demystifying rubber stamping and using the Big Shot Die Cutting machine to make frames and embellishments (we made rossettes and paper roses), which adhesives are used for different uses, and of course the use of Stampin Up!'s amazing punches.
 
 
Then we just HAD to stop for apple pies, biscuits and coffee - and out of nowhere came a Flake Chocolate Cake .... yum!
 
 
Then it was the guests turn to be creative with support from myself (I'm the one in the striped jumper on the right) - do not say a word!
 
 
It is harder than you think, to take your precious memories and then wanting to do them proud. But everyone became brave and even had some cutting up of photographs to make the page say what they wanted. One gem was finding a grocery list written on the back of a photo in their Mums handwriting ... how special
 
 
And another page was made to celebrate the birth and childhood of her first baby daughter! A Goth from the start!!
 
Everyone went away with their page, including a page protector, but not before the orders were taken
 
 
A productive evening with everyone eager to return in 2 weeks to continue. Next time - embossing!
