ink:  real read

cardstock:  real red, whisper white, pacific point

accessories:  polka dot embossing folder, 1 3/4 circle punch, designer label, pacific point, certainly celery, real red markers. 

Stamp Club- March

If you missed stamp club this month.....here is what you missed:

Retiring Decor and Accessories

Here we are again.....another retiring list is out!  This time it's our Decor Elements and Accessories.

I will tell you, from past experience, these items do sell out quickly.  They are only available while supplies last.

You are welcome to shop online at my store at www.jodybrechbill.stampinup.net and remember you can order digital downloads AND clearance rack items on these orders.

Or, I will place an order on Friday, April 27th.....and hope to save you on shipping.  I can't guarantee that what you want is still around, but email me your order.  You MAY order clearance rack items as well, but you may NOT use a credit card.

And.....you'll want to act fast because our Retiring Accessories are DISCOUNTED!!!  That's right...25%, 40% and even 75% off of select items!!!!

A few things to know:

• When you look at the retired accessories list, you'll note that all of our Stampin' Pads are listed. This is for two reasons: (1) Craft Stampin' Pads will now only be available in black and white; and (2) we are introducing a new Firm Foam pad in our Classic Stampin' Pads with the 2012-2013 annual catalog.

• Only select Stampin' Write Markers will be available individually (Stampin' Write Markers in color collections will continue to be offered)

• 12" x 12" Textured Card Stock will no longer be offered

• 12" x 12" Smooth Card Stock will only be available in select individual colors and color collections

So....here we go.  You will have to click the link because these lists are very long.

Changes...they are a comin'

With the introduction of the 2012-2013 annual catalog, we have made a very big change to our Stampin' Pads.
Introducing. firm foam pads! They change your stamping experience for the better.
We know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads-just look at all the exciting benefits listed below:

• Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
• Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!
• Pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity!

In addition, our new Stampin' Pads

• Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!
• Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!
• Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!
• Are available in all colors, including our exclusive In Colors!

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 in the new firm foam pads. Any refills purchased after April 30, 2012, will contain the new formulated ink.*

* The new ink formula for Basic Gray, Perfect Plum, and Tempting Turquoise (for both Stampin' Ink Refills and firm foam Classic Stampin' Pads) will not be available until June 1. In addition, the Neutrals, Subtles, and Brights ink color collections will not contain the newly formulated ink for Basic Gray, Perfect Plum, and Tempting Turquoise until June 1.


** NOTE FROM THE QUEEN** This is just for your information only...this does NOT mean that your current pads won't work, continue on using them!  There is no need to replace any of your pads, UNLESS you are having trouble with it.  Just remember that if you have "old" ink refills in the 5 mentioned colors, you don't want to use them in a "new" ink pad. 

Mother Hubbard's Cupboard

I pulled out all my retiring stamp sets to see what I had to work with this month and what will be leaving me.

Ouch..... this is what I have left.

Mystery Monday- April

I am so far behind....and I apologize.  Here is what we did in April.  Mystery Monday's theme was :  April Showers......so all the projects were flower themed.

stamp set:  just believe

stamp set:  petal prints

stamp set:  bright blossoms

Going, Going.....Gone (retiring list)

<sniff, sniff>  I am always a little sad when this list comes out.  I look over it and see so many of my favorite sets....leaving me...for good.  BUT....the new catalog is around the corner and I know as soon as I have it in my hot little hands....all those sad feelings fly out the window!  I love new stuff!!!

So.....our retiring list is up.  I am going to link it up here and you'll have to click to view it.  It's a bit bigger than we are used to, due to the changes coming with the new catalog.

As always...this list is valid now- May 31st and I am running my own personal special.  When you purchase 3 retiring sets, you get a 4th set at 50% off!  (50% off is on lowest priced set).  This is ONLY on retiring sets.  

There will be a retiring list for Decor Elements, Simply Adorned and Accessories available on April 25th.  Be sure to check back.  I may be running a special on those as well!  (wink, wink).   This items are sold first come, first serve, so I will place an order pretty soon after it's announced.  Once they are sold out....that's it.
Of course....you are welcome to shop online 24-7 from the comfort of your own home.  Just go onto my website at www.jodybrechbill.stampinup.net and shop away.  REMEMBER.....the special is my personal one, so not valid when you shop online.

Because I love ya

I found this on Pinterest the other day.  So many of you ask how I make the "mats" or "layers" for my cards....well.....here ya go!

The standard size card we make is 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock....cut in 1/2 and fold in 1/2 to make the front of the card 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.

Here are the layers in descending order:

Have fun!!!

Smooches for You!

Our Summer Smooches special is running right now......and here are some samples using the cute little set Bright Blossoms:

Just a couple quickie samples.  If you come to class in April, I promise we'll be using this set. 

One other quick mention.....I can pre-order the new catalog on April 16th!  The cost as always, is my cost of $5.00.  If you would like to have your very own hard copy, let me know and I'll reserve one for you.  I MUST have your pre-payment before I order on the 16th, so make arrangements to get it to me.  IF YOU ARE A STAMP CLUB MEMBER, YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY GET A COPY IN MAY.

Another great thing is that I can have a copy sent to you via Stampin Up for only 5.00, so you non locals, let me know if you'd like one set your way.
