  • These new Glitter Enamel Dots are destined to FLY off the shelves at Stampin’ Up! They are such a great accent!! There are four shades featured in the packaged set: Dapper Denim; Crushed Curry; Berry Burst and Old Olive. Honestly though, each shade has so many gradations that they will work wonderfully with any other hue in their color family! There are five gradations within each shade, which I have featured above. The darkest is at the bottom right hand side, and then they work their way up from there. There are also four different sizes! The largest is at the bottom, then the next smaller size, and then the next two are the same size and the smallest dot is a the uppermost corner. So…four different colors, five different shades within each color, four different sizes, and GLITTER!! You will want to get your hands on these babies!!!
  • I chose not to color the wishing well. Instead I stamped it in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, ran my embossing buddy over the image, inked it up again in Versamark Ink and then heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder. This results in a crisp, dark image without those pesky stray embossing powder flecks all over!

  • Ahhh, the ribbon. I zoomed in close so you could see the texture of the ribbon. It’s a “firm” ribbon. Or maybe it’s a “substantial” ribbon. I’m not sure what the best adjective is, but it is not as pliable as the seam binding ribbons were, it’s woven more thickly and it’s not “soft”. It has a texture to it. I liked working with it and as you can see, it ties easily. And it comes in each of the five new In-Colors: Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. Yum!!
  • The envelope Liner. This year Stampin’ Up! has changed things up a bit. In the past we have always had Designer Series Paper Stacks in each of the four color collections as well as the In-Color collections. In this new catalog, we only have a Designer Series Paper Stack for the 2017-2019 In-Colors! There are four new patterns, all pulled from the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper in the current catalog. This will be wonderful for making multiples!!

  • The inside of the card features one of the coordinating sentiments from the Bright Wishes stamp set. I love how it plays off of the wishing well image! This card is destined for a co-worker who is moving on to a new department. Perfect sentiment for that!!
