This video comes by popular demand from a post a couple of weeks ago featuring this "poppin' butterfly" in Daffodil Delight (click for original post). It really is a wow! All it takes is some simple layering, a couple stampin' dimensionals and a little sponging to make this butterfly POP right off the card. It's 3D without the funky glasses!

Check out these colors displayed in their new collections!
Announcing our Color Refresh! We love color and we know that you do too. Color is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with color trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colors, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!
Why now? In 2010 we did a big color renovation and shared our plans for smaller color refreshes every three to five years to keep our colors on trend. Well it has been three years and we are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalog will include 10 new colors (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! We are welcoming back some of your favorites, moving some colors around, and introducing one brand-new color, so take a look!
WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
Beginning today (April 4, 2013), all retiring/discontinued color products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period. Stampin' Up! did anticipate increased demand and based our forecasts for these retiring colors on historical sales information from previous color transitions. However, even with the most careful planning, the response to a transition of this nature can surprise everyone.
IMPORTANT: any of our retiring color products are only available while supplies last so they can get their favorites and look forward to the exciting colors coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalog.

CARD: Simple Beauty – So Grateful
April 4, 2013 by
This beautiful, elegant and classic card focuses on humble. Sometimes I can't help myself from adding embellishments, and I love over the top projects that WOW you...but often, I overlook how powerful simple can be. This card was designed originally by Penny Thomas, and it's not the first time Penny has wowed me with a clean and uncomplicated style. Very Vanilla on Vanilla with a light texture from the Square Lattice folder and Little Leaves sizzlit speak volumes on this wonderful card.
