Let's Mix and Mingle

I love how the new In Colors look together as a family, but they actually look really great with their extended other family—the 2018/2020 In Colors! Who knew? And showcasing them w them alphabet framelits is just awesome!

Meet the New In Colors!

As you know, every year Stampin’ Up! introduces 5 new colours for us to be creative with. Each collection lasts 2 seasons in the Idea Book and Catalogue. The new 2019/2021 In Colours are Roccoco Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posy. I would describe them as having a grey muted undertone. They look amazing on their own or paired with some of our permanent colours. So far I would say my favourite is Seaside Spray as I am really enjoying the blue tones in our colour assortment.

In Color Cookies

I have a friend who is an amazing cookie designer. Over the years she has graciously put up with all of my weird cookie requests. She has made me everything from 50 Shades of Grey, tropical, Star Wars, to Christmas light bulb cookies (if you were on the Alaskan Incentive Trip you may remember those as I shared them during my Share Fair demo) and all sorts of stampin’ related shapes. She did not disappoint on creating me some ink pad cookies in the new In Colors. I think she did an amazing job as she didn’t even have a catalogue to look at!

Hi, its Brenda and I am new here!

This is me in my happy place!

Hey! Welcome to my new blog :) I hope you enjoy this space I am creating. It is a work in progress for me and a huge personal achievement to take the plunge into blogging. I will definitely be exercises my technological muscle in the weeks and months to come as I learn to master this new skill set! You may be wondering why I wanted to begin this journey. Let me tell you a little about me!

I have been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for coming on 13 years. I came into the company the same way many people do, I loved the product and wanted to have everything! I also like to craft with other people and this seemed like a natural fit for me as I was also a new mom. I have enjoyed the flexibility that Stampin’ Up! has offered me and when my youngest babe went off to grade one I decided to begin second career with lululemon. I have always enjoyed an active lifestyle and the brand. Fast forward to now and here I am combining my passions into Stamps and Stretchy Pants. The lifestyle portion of my blog will feature favourite recipes I share at my stamping events, my trials and tribulations being a mom to 3, plus a sprinkling of humor and sass, and whatever else is happening in my life.

There are so many people that have helped me get where I am with my Stampin’ business, my role as a mom and wife, supporting me and cheering me on. This blog is for you, a place to share my crafting inspiration and to just be real.

Please be kind and generous with your feedback!
