Saying Goodbye to the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper

Confession: I am a proud paper hoarder!  I love my paper.... and always scour the pages of every new catalogue to see which ones I will neeeeeed to buy!  Sometimes its obvious from the catalogue to see which ones I want, but sometimes there are some "hidden gems" in the catalogues. And I find that Speciality papers are often in this category.  They aren't called "speciality" papers for nothing.... that label means that there is something special about them... and I find that that special thing might not be all that obvious in a printed catalogue. But when you get them, you go "wow".

The Pop of Pink Speciality pack was one such pack.  In this case, the "special" thing was the 2 sheets of gold foil design. (e.g. the gold dots you see on this card and box), and they were simply lovely.  Here's something you might not know.... I almost always buy the Speciality papers in the catalogue because you simply cant tell how lovely they are until you see them in real life!  For me as a demonstrator, I need to be able to show them to customers in order for them to see how beautiful they truly are.  Sadly, the Pop of Pink DSP is on the retirement list and has now sold out completely, so you cant get it anymore! (DSP packs rarely make it from one catalogue to another!)

The Affectionately Yours Speciality pack has also sold out, but the "This Christmas" pack is still available. What's special about the "This Christmas" pack?  It has DOUBLE the number of pieces of paper in it - they are a thinner weight of paper, but perfect for your Christmas cards.  So that means that instead of 12 sheets of 12"x12" paper in the pack.. you get 24!  That's a lot of Christmas paper!

But here's my tip..... make sure you check out the new Speciality papers coming in the new catalogue... they are sensational!  I will of course have them all pretty soon, so you are welcome to ask to see them when you come for classes and such.  Or just trust me that they are beautiful and buy them for yourself!

On today's card and box I also used a little of the Eastern Palace suite - the sentiments are from the Eastern Beauty set, and the gold foil shape is from the Eastern Medallions framelit pack.

You can still buy the Eastern Palace starter and premier bundles until the 31st May.  After that they will be available as individual items (or if you just want the Eastern Beauty and Eastern Medallions as a bundle on their own, you'll be able to buy those after June 1st).  But the big bundle configuration as shown below will no longer be available.  You can use the ONLINE STORE if you would like to purchase them!
