with a good deal, a giveaway, and a reveal

first the reveal. at midnight EST, the 28th of april (for me on denver time, it's 10 p.m on the 27th–today), studio calico's may kit, granny's cupboard and add ons go on sale. unless you're as subscriber, then they went on sale at noon EST today. i got the trinkets add on because the K&Co. die cuts were calling my name. don't let this kit's pastel feel scare you. really. i was nervous, but i loved everything i created with it. and it's not nearly as girlie as one might think. remember, it happens tomorrow.

this is what i used with the kits this month:

• worn lipstick distress ink
• peeled paint distress ink
• mustard seed distress ink
• modern red paint
• bubblegum mist
• bumpy road punch
• red jute (i ordered more for next month too)
• bittersweet jute
• pink jute
• round binding edge punch
• arched scallop border punch

i'm planning on ordering a few bunches of the twisted burlap this month after seeing joy's sneaks and i'm ordering the zig zag chain punch because of sasha's sneeks!

don't forget all the new punches that will be available in the shop, lorie said they should be all stocked up again by monday, so if you miss it this week, please keep checking back.

studio calico is always providing the latest and greatest, like oh maybe basic grey's basic line and coredinations cardstock, cosmo cricket line. i was lucky enough to get the basic grey ahead of release for a project i was working on, so i can highly recommend the following items:

• manilla
• kraft
• white
  

check out the coredinations in classic/neutral and vintage/classic colors as well. we got a sheet of the green from the latter collection in the may kit, but i haven't tried it out just yet...

the pinked slipped tree and the frame stamps are still available, but once they are gone, they are GONE.

and in case you missed it, anthology is now available in the shop as well. you'll need that too :)

and since it's buy one get a free refill, i'm going to have to try this adhesive out as well (psst–this is the good deal part). i hear rave reviews about it from the other DT girls that have tried it. i'm always up for a good adhesive. click on the image to go directly to the shop.
