Seaside Bay stamp and die bundle #160445
By the Bay DSP #160434
I love everything about the Seaside Bay stamp set and die bundle. It coordinates with the By the Bay designer series paper (DSP). I love the coordination between the DSP, stamp images and dies!
I wanted to show off the beautful DSP and this reverse pleated gate fold fun fold card does the job!

One of the things I especially love about this bundle are the beautiful images and sentiments in the stamp set and the embossing the dies add. Check out the oyster die cut and the pearl it's hiding. So lovely!

Color Refresh Coming! Stampin' Up announced to demonstrators this week that a Color Refresh is coming with the new Annual Catalog. The Color Refresh colors will be revealed on March 29th. As we welcome new colors and say goodbye to others some products in retiring colors may sell out. Due to inventory restrictions, Stampin' Up will not restock these products but will instead focus on the production of new color products. Retiring colors will be available while supplies last and on a first come first served basis. My advice -- if you have favorite colors, now is the time to buy reinkers, cardstock, etc before the Refresh Colors are announced and your favorites are gone for good. SNEAK PEEK - the Online Exclusive products include 2 previously retired In Colors, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. There's speculation they'll be part of the Color Refresh.
