SP & Company April New Release Hop!



Welcome to the SP & Company April Blog Hop! Not only do we have an brand new Design Team sharing creations, we have a fabulous Guest Designer, Leah L'Orange, showcasing her creations using SP & Company product all month long. Today we are showing off our brand new releases. We've got so many great, new supplies to add to your crafty fun.

Last month we introduced our new Die Tools, and we have even more Die Tools coming out this month! And don't forget about the new SP Storage Binder System to help with organization of dies and stamps. This month, we also have amazing new artist, joining the SP family - Gill Roberts! We will be releasing lots of new Gill Roberts Collection stamp sets today, along with a few coordinating dies. 

Scrapmaster's Paradise is now IN COLOR with the release of six new SP exclusive colors. Our exclusive color line now includes button mixtures and coordinating premium chalk ink pads.  The ink pads will begin shipping mid-month, but the buttons are available starting right now in the SP & Company Store. What's great about our new button mixtures is they come in adorable metal tins for easy storage and organization!



I used Teddy Chasing Butterfly for my DT card.   This is one of SP & Company's new April release stamp.   Isn't it just the cutest?    I used Copic Alcohol Ink Markers and Flower Soft.   I am pleased with how it turned out.

  18. Marie, this is adorable! You have to do a tutorial on how you created that swirly, wonderful, glorious background...it's gorgeous!! Also, remember the tutorial you did on homemade flower soft? What did you use for that. I remember thinking that was the COOLEST thing since sliced bread. :)
    Happy weekend my friend and HUGE hugs to you.

    1. I may be teaching backgrounds at CMC. We are still in the early planning stage! Regarding homemade floer soft..... I rub two pieces of styrofoam together and use reinkers..... let dry overnight. It makes it easy to coordinate with your ink colors. :D wink wink!
