An elegant birthday card and our 2014-2016 In Colors will be leaving soon...

With all the hype about Sale-a-bration and our Occasions catalog, we forget that the retiring stamp set and accessories list will be coming out in just over a month.  That also means that our 2014-2016 In Color Collections will be leaving us as well, making room for another great set of colors.  If you really love these colors, now is the time to stock up.  Once the retiring list comes out, items will only be available while supplies last.  April (or for the rest of this month) is a great time to stock up on your favorite color card stock, ink refills and accessories.  Here's a peek at our 2014-2016 In Color inks and card stock.  I'll share some of the coordinating products over the next few days.

Today's project is from Crew Stamper JoAnn Graham.  JoAnn made this elegant birthday card using the Rose Wonder stamp set.  

JoAnn used Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White card stock.  The images are stamped with Basic Black ink.  the wonderful shine comes from using a 2-Way Glue Pen inside the rose petals and adding Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  Three Rhinestone Jewels finish it off.  Love it JoAnn!
