Soon enough real butterflies will be fluttering around in our gardens. For now, I need to rely on my stamped and punched butterflies. This card was made with only one ink - Blackberry Bliss. I kept stamping the repeat image without re-inking my stamp and it gives a wonderful ombre effect. I used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set which has become one of my favorites. See what you
can do using the ombre-one ink technique and share it with me.
I usually send out my newsletters on the first Tuesday of the month, but am sending this one out a few days early because of a huge Stampin' Up! announcement. FREE SHIPPING will be given to everyone between April 6 - 10. Hooray!!!

Product of the Month - Stampin' Pierce
Mat |
It might not look like much, but this Stampin' Pierce Mat is truly a great tool to have around. It became popular when someone discovered using this mat with Photopolymer stamps. Use it under your card stock while stamping with Photopolymer Stamps and it makes a huge difference in the stamped image. It became so popular that it created a backorder. I am happy to say that this mat is now
available, and for only $4.95. I just ordered 3 more of them to use during my classes. You can still use the mat for it's intended creation too, with a piecing tool. Item # 126199

Perpetual Birthday Calendar |
I love my perpetual birthday calendar. Why? Well, first I made it myself, second it looks beautiful hanging on my wall and third is I will never forget a birthday again.
You can make this Perpetual Birthday Calendar too. Why not gather some girlfriends and make your kits together? For $24 I can come to your
house (or you all can come to mine) and you will each make your own calendars and a birthday card.
You don't live nearby? You can still make it by yourself or with some girlfriends. All you need to do is order your kit and the coordinating stamp set and have some ink pads. The coordinating colors are: Real Red, Melon Mambo, Hello Honey (you could use Daffodil Delight or Crushed Curry), Blushing Bride (you could use Crisp Cantaloupe or Pink
Pirouette), Lost Lagoon and Baked Brown Sugar (I did't realize this color was recommended and I used Tangerine Tango and it looks great).
(you can use this stamp set for so much more than just stamping a calendar)
The kit and stamp set are available until June 2.

Stampin' Up! will release their retirement list on April 21. Many stamp sets, papers and accessories (that we love) will be going away. But, that will leave more room for all the new products that will be unveiled in the new Annual Catalog beginning June 3.
Stay tuned and I will post the list on April 21. Remember, once the list is published, items will be while supplies last and some of them will disappear
quickly.
The 2013-15 In Colors will be going away too - Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding and Baked Brown Sugar. If you love these colors (and many of us do), I suggest placing your order for re-inkers, papers and accessories soon. These items will definitely disappear quickly. Take advantage of the free shipping April 6-10
