TUESDAY 2ND JUNE IS OVERLAP DAY - BUT WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

• You'll be able to order from the spring summer catalogue and the retiring list as well as from the new catalogue.

• Selected items from the 2014-15 catalogue and the spring summer catalogue will carry over to the new 2015-16 catalogue. On 2nd June you will be able to buy these at the 2014-15 prices.

• You'll be able to select hostess items from the spring summer catalogue and the retiring list as well as from the new catalogue.

• You'll benefit from the existing, extra-generous hostess credit programme on 2nd June. The new hostess credit programme will start from 3rd June.

Here's a card I made with A Whole Lot of Lovely, one of the new hostess sets in the new catalogue. I think it describes my customers rather well!

I'll be busy with my family over the next few days as they seem keen to celebrate me getting older ;) See you on Thursday when I'll be back with the rest of the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team to inspire you with some of the fabulous new punches from the new catalogue! Don't miss that!

A look at the upcoming new in colours! - Stampin' Up artisan blog hop

It's Thursday, it's artisan blog hop day and oooh, there are lots of exciting new goodies to see on the hop this week! Are you ready?

ADD A LITTLE MORE COLOUR TO YOUR LIFE!
It isn't long before the new Stampin' Up annual catalogue is launched (2nd June, mark it in your diary!) and as always, everyone is excited to see the new stamp sets and tools and accessories AND of course the new colours! Well come and see!

Oh my goodness, aren't they exciting?!!! In the photo above you can see (clockwise from top) Watermelon Wonder, Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush, Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe! They sound like exotic cocktails to me! Oh, and check out those fabulous little resin flowers in all the new colours too!

So let's take a closer look at those new in colours:

MINT MACARON
A gorgeous blue-green colour - I predict this one will be an instant sell out! The left panel of the circle is Pool Party, the centre is Mint Macaron and the right is Lost Lagoon.

DELIGHTFUL DIJON
A deep, rich old gold, seen here on the central panel of the circle with So Saffron on its left and Hello Honey on its right. As usual, Stampin' Up is bang on trend with this fabulous 70s feel colour!

CUCUMBER CRUSH
Here's another colour with a trendy retro vibe - a lovely, zingy green! Seen here on the central panel of the circle, I love how it teams with Wild Wasabi (on the left) and Garden Green (on the right.)

TIP TOP TAUPE
I'm SO excited about this achingly sophisticated neutral - seen here in the central panel of the circle with Crumb Cake on the left and Soft Suede on the right.

WATERMELON WONDER
If you're looking for something to give a vibrant zing to your projects this flamboyant colour is definitely for you! Seen here on the central panel of the circle, it's pinker than Calypso Coral on its left and lighter and brighter than Real Red on its right.

BUT WHAT"S THIS?
You may be wondering about that faux washi tape feature on the right of the card? That and the 'kiss' is actually from a new alphabet set called Layered Letters Alphabet (watch this space because I have so many ideas for this versatile set!) and I used the new in colour inks to stamp them. The background was stamped off once and the kiss is the full colour.

I hope you've enjoyed my little look at the upcoming new in colours. If you're in the mood for more sneaky peeks, check out the projects from the other members of the artisan design team! Just click the button below to continue with the hop with Allison Okamitsu!

You'll be glad to hear my training with my 8 month old pup Eva is going well... er, WAS going well! Eva can walk past a food bowl loaded with choice viands if I give her the 'Leave' command (although she does look reproachfully at me while doing so) but then she discovered gardening!

"Leave," I say sternly as she demolishes the shrubbery and then I realise I've just asked her to leave leaves and I end up giggling which completely undermines my authority!

I'll be having another floral moment tomorrow. Do come and join me!
