New Ink Pads from Stampin' Up!

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm sure by now you have heard about the new ink pads from Stampin' Up! You may have some questions about it and this video and the information following it will certainly be able to answer many of those questions. However, if you have any other questions, I'm always available to help you out. Just ask!

Features of the new ink pads:

Fast drying, dye-based ink
Acid free
Flip top for upside-down storage: pads stay inked during storage
Firm foam pad lasts longer than felt pads and provides exceptional ink coverage, especially with solid-image stamps
Can be re-inked with matching Classic Stampin’ Ink Refills
Coordinates with Stampin’ Up! cardstock, markers, and embellishments
Less confusing to open. Opening the new ink pad case is now more simple and intuitive—just insert your thumb in the lip at the front of the case and lift it to open – much like opening a makeup compact.
Have a tighter fit between the lid and the base. TIP: Add a little wax paper on the “rails” if it’s a stiff during early use.
Stackable.
Improved labels and stickers.

How is the ink different?

The improved ink formula with de-foaming properties will:

Reduce ink bubbles.
Help you get a smooth coating of ink on the stamp.
Help lay down the ink better.

How do I know if my Classic Ink Refill has the new and improved ink?

Beginning with the 2018–2019 Annual Catalog, all ink refills will have the improved ink formula. Also, if you recently received an ink refill and it has the new branding label, it contains the improved ink formula.

Can I use an old ink refill on a new ink pad or a new ink refill on an old ink pad?

Yes! You can with the exception of the Basic Gray Archival and Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ inks. Archival and Classic inks should not be mixed. All other Classic Stampin’ inks will work fine.

Remember, if you have any other questions, just ask! I'd be happy to help.

Quick & Easy Color Combo

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today is a quick card that focuses on a color combination. Yep, over at Sisters in Stamping that's what we decided to do for today. I hope you like what I have created. It was super quick and easy to do since I was leaving on Wednesday for a few days of stamping and glamping with a great group of demo friends that I would normally room with at convention each July. Since convention is no longer in July, we all decided we still needed our "fix" of each other so we headed up to Maine to "camp." If you know me at all, that was no easy feat. I'm not the nature loving girl you would expect to find camping, but for friends I sucked it up. I'll share more with you later on the trip.

This week's challenge was to use the colors watermelon wonder, flirty flamingo and night of navy. I picked the awesome two step stamping set, Watercolor Wings to make this card.

I decided to use a paint chip background look for the base of my card using the colors from this week's challenge. A couple of layers of butterfly pieces and a greeting and I was finished. So, see, stamping can be quick, easy and not use a ton of supplies. (Especially, when you remember that you need a card a few minutes before walking out the door. I know that's happened to you, too.)

Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to check out the Sisters in Stamping blog for more ideas using this color combination.

In Colors Make Their Debut

Hello Stamping Friends,

Today is a great day at the Yurkanin house. My oldest son, Noah, is graduating high school. Although, I'm sad my baby is growing up, I'm so excited for him and the bright future ahead of him. I'll share some pictures tomorrow.

Today with the Sisters in Stamping we are sharing the new in colors. I made a notecard using two of the new in colors, cucumber crush and delightful dijon. I love the note book paper background stamp. I will be using it a lot, I promise.

These notecards would be great to make for some teachers for back to school gifts. You can even get started making them now and not rush when school begins. All you would need to wait for is to see which teacher you will be making them for so you can stamp the letter. The rest can be done.

Here's a bookmark that uses all of the in colors.

H - cucumber crush

E - Delightful Dijon

L - Watermelon Wonder

L - Tip Top Taupe

O - Mint Macaron

Don't forget to stop on over at Sisters in Stamping to see some other projects with the in colors.

Retiring In-Colors

Hello Stamping Friends,

Did you know the Stampin’ Up Retiring List just around the corner (Monday, April 21st!)? I started thinking about the 2012-2014 In Colors that will be retiring. The In -Colors are trendy and only meant to be around for 2 years.

It doesn’t necessarily mean they can’t come back if the demand is strong enough!
Remember, Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz? They were In Colors once and now they are part of our regular collection.

Once the retiring accessories list comes out on the 21st, guess what the first things that will be ready to sell out?
Ink Refills. Yes, the ink refills for those In-Colors will be the first to go.
So that means that if you have bought any of the 2012-2014 In Colors such as:

Midnight Muse

Summer Starfruit

Primrose Petals

Rasperry Ripple

Gumball Green

You need to call me, email me, text me or order these online BEFORE the 21st.
You may want to get some card stock or other coordinating accessories if you have the ink pads.

You don’t need to find the item numbers if you are emailing me with your order. Email me at dryurkanin@comcast.net

Below are pictures of the items that we all know for sure will be on the retiring accessories list since they are the 2012-2014 in-colors. Remember the rest of the retiring accessories as well as stamp sets will be released on Monday, April 21. Also, for the first time, stamp sets that are retiring will be available on a while supplies last condition.
