NEW 2012-13 In Color Club!

New, Fresh and Affordable - it's like music to my ears!


The In Color Club is a way for you to build up to ALL of the In Color Goodies in a slow, affordable way, so that you receive coordinating colors TOGETHER. Rather than ordering markers one month and paper the next — you'll receive EVERYTHING in a color each month, for 5 consecutive months!


Here's the nitty gritty and how everything will work:


Each month, for 5 months, you'll receive the following products in ONE of the In Colors.
 » NEW! Style Classic Pad
 » Classic Ink Refill
 » 1/2 pack of 8 1/2" x 11" Cardstock
 » 2, 12" x 6" sheets from the In Color Designer Paper Pack
 » 4 In Color Dahlias
 » 2 yards of 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon
 » Stampin' Write Marker

At the end of the 5 months, you will have grown your collection to include everything listed above in all 5 of the In Colors!

So for example, one month you'll receive a Gumball Green Ink Pad, Gumball Green Classic Ink Refill, 1/2 pack of Gumball Green Card Stock, Gumball Green Designer Paper, Gumball Green Dahlias, Gumball Green Ribbon and the Gumball Green Marker. 


Then the next month a different color and so on!


For being a part of In Color Club, you will also receive these special perks:

- The First Month of the Club, you will receive a hand stamped card using the New In Colors.
- The Last Month of the Club you will receive a plastic case to hold all of your Markers in and a plastic case to hold all of your little Dahlia embellishments. 
The cost is $24 per month (plus shipping and handling if not for local pick up)

Please Note:When you join, you'll be set up on a recurring payment cycle and will be charged $24 for 5 consecutive months.   

Email me at dotdesigns@hotmail.com to join the In Color Club! (Orders for the In Color Club may not be used as a minimum purchase for classes or be combined with other discounts/coupons.)

Here's a sample of a card using these delicious colors! Once you receive all of your components from the In Color Club, you'll be able to easily duplicate this card at home :)

Amy's BOGO Sale is now 'On the Go'!

Addt'l items added on 6/10/12! Most current update on 6/27/2012.

We're gonna try something new this year!  Although I don't have a huge selection of retired products left after my BOGO Sale, there are still a number of terrific stamp sets that you may like (they're just too pretty not to give someone the chance to enjoy them!) 
Just like the BOGO Sale at my home, all of my retired merchandise will sell at full price, but whatever you spend on retired merchandise you'll also get for FREE from the ALL NEW Catalog. This way, you'll get DOUBLE the product for your money – AND, you won't have to choose between the old and new… you'll get BOTH!

HOW IT ALL WORKS:
All items are ONLY AVAILABLE WHILE SUPPLIES LAST and First Come, First Served – so you'll want to act FAST. If you are the 2nd person to request an item, I'll put you on a waiting list in case payment from the 1st person falls through.

If you live local (or near me), we can arrange for a pick up to save on shipping the product to you.  If you don't live locally and you need them shipped to you, then you'll pay USPS shipping based on the weight of your items – there won't be tax or Stampin' Up! shipping since that has already been paid.

Getting to Know the NEW Stampin' Up! Firm Foam Ink Pads

WOW! I'm so pleased to report that I loved using the new Stampin' Up! Firm Foam Ink pads!  It took me only a few moments to take note of the difference between how I used to stamp and how I will stamp from now on.  A little bit of a lighter touch with the new foam pads is just the ticket!

You'll be delighted with the fantastic coverage of the new pads in your stamps, especially larger images (no more missing ink on the center of your image no matter how hard you tried to ink that baby up!)

Take a few minutes to see some of the benefits of the new pads in the video below:

I have discovered... That the new ink does take a moment or two to dry as opposed to the instant drying of before.  Once I got the hang of the 'timing' I was good to go and more than pleased with the results of the new pads.  The coverage is so much better and the images are much crisper.

Keep your old re-inkers and use them on your new firm foam ink pads. Except...

Please note: Five ink colors have undergone formula changes to improve functionality and color stability with the new firm foam pads. These colors are

• Basic Black
• Basic Gray
• Marina Mist
• Perfect Plum
• Tempting Turquoise

All five colors of the reformulated inks have been fully tested and approved. While using the new ink formula in the old Stampin’ Pads is fine, we do not recommend using the old ink formula for these five colors in the new firm foam pads.

To order the New Firm Foam Ink Pads, visit my online store today!
