-- Keep checking out the Last Chance Lists that I wrote about last time! --
Hey there! Do you know that one of the best perks about being a demonstrator is? Getting a sneak peek of nearly everything! I can be pretty curious (read: nosy) and I love "being in the know." I've even started ordering new stuff from the upcoming Idea Book & Catalog that will go live in a mere 20 days! It's so exciting to see and be able to share some sneak peeks with you!Tons of exclamation points, I know, but I just can't help myself. It's all way too exciting.
It's cutting a little close to Father's Day and the start of summer is right around the bend, so I wanted to show you two quick and simple cards.
The NEW! Island Indigo tie is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals,
framed in the NEW! Pool Party,
& that's the retired Sprinkles peeking out from behind.
The stamp set is the Best Dad Ever from the current Summer Mini.
(You can find it in my Idea Book + Catalogs section.)
The same Best Dad Ever stamp set used in a different way.
These are last year's In Colors (replacing Blushing Bride pink
with the more masculine/ neutral Chocolate Chip brown).

A couple of notes about these two cards:
- They're super simple and clean cut because I've learned that those aspects make for an easy masculine card. Many guys won't fully appreciate the effort put into an overly frilly or complicated card unless you make them appreciate it. Ha ha!
- The Best Dad Ever stamp set is from the current Summer Mini! It also includes "happy birthday" and "thinking of you" sentiments.
- The top card features two of the five newer In Colors that will be around from 2011-2013. They are Pool Party and Island Indigo that I surrounded with Chocolate Chip. This new way of featuring In Colors started last year. With the new catalog, we'll have a total of ten In Colors, with five changing out every year. Stick around for me to show you the rest!
- The current stamp set that resembles my retired Sprinkles set is the Confetti stamp set. It's just another reason to grab your favorites, especially when you know they are going to retire. However, keep in mind if there is a certain art style/ theme that you enjoy and you notice that most of current items that represent it are on their way out- don't fret! They are often being replaced by fresher and updated product.
- The bottom card includes four of the five In Colors that were introduced last year: Peach Parfait orange, Concord Crush purple, Pear Pizazz green, and Poppy Parade red. Like I mentioned before, I replaced Blushing Bride pink with Chocolate Chip brown just to keep it more masculine. I don't know too many men in my life that can pull off a pastel pink tie easily!
I'll be back later this week to show you a preview of a gorgeous stamp set that will be in the new 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog!
