Some of you have already picked up on the signature colored products I have sprinkled in my projects the last few days. Dark Chocolate is our main color for this month's release. We have waited a bit to release it because it is one of my FAVORITE colors and we wanted to make sure it was just right. It's no secret that I have an addiction to the Burnt Umber Palette ink pad, so we followed suit by creating ribbon & cardstock to match it. To avoid confusion when grouping like colors together on our website, we will no longer be referring to *Burnt Umber* as it's original name, but instead Dark Chocolate, just like the coordinating paper and ribbon. This information will be added as special note on our website as well. The *Dark Chocolate* ink pad that we will now be carrying is the same exact product as the original Burnt Umber ink, just in our packaging and renamed. As a side note, we will not be able to offer either the stitched ribbon or grosgrain ribbon at this time. The colors need to be slightly tweaked before we feel comfortable making them available for sale. We will keep you updated on our progress.

We always receive many requests for a color comparison to frequently used SU! colors. As you can see in this photo, our Dark Chocolate is much deeper and more orange toned than SU! Chocolate Chip. (don't forget that you can click for a bigger view)

This month we are also bringing you another basic in addition to the Dark Chocolate products. We are proud to introduce vellums to our line up. We will now be offering two different varieties for your stamping pleasure! The first is a wonderfully thick Stamper's Select Vellum Cardstock. It is super thick and sturdy enough to be used as a card base. It is created specifically to not crack when folds are added to it, making it a versatile product.

The second vellum is called Linen Vellum Cardstock. This beautiful transparent vellum has an elegant linen weave incorporated into it (click on the photo for a better look at this specialty texture). Smoothness on one side allows for crisp stamping, while a slight linen texture can be found on the reverse side if you are looking for something a bit more tactile. As soon as I saw this, I knew it would be amazing to work with, and the little I have used so far, let's just say I'm in love!!!

Both of the vellums will be sold in two different size packages. 12 (8.5 x11 sheets) for $4 or 24 (8.5 x 11 sheets) for $7. Combined with free shipping, these are a steal! We have just received notice that the vellums will not be arriving until a few days after the release, so they should definitely go live on our website shortly after the actual release. We will keep you updated via our newsletter.
I hope you are as excied about these new products as I am! Read on below to see the new Linen Vellum in action!
