Product Spotlight: All Together Collection
Stampin’ Up! has just released a really special collection of products called the All Together collection, and it’s all about celebrating and honouring the diversity of people around the world. It gives me such joy that Stampin’ Up! is making this important move towards inclusion, giving us a way to make projects that truly reflect the world around us.
You may have seen me using some of these items in last weekend’s Stampin’ Sunday video to create this simple, heartfelt card for the people of Ukraine.
Let me walk you through all the products included in this one-of-a-kind collection. First, there’s the All Together stamp set and the co-ordinating Here For You dies. In addition to dies that cut out the two main images from the stamp set – the ‘pinky promise’ and ‘heart-shaped’ hands – there are also dies to cut out two important phrases – “here for you” and “you matter”. What powerful sentiments!
(These dies are also compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine, which is on sale this month for 20% off. Be sure to check out my promotions page for more info!)
Next is the wonderful new set of Natural Tones Blends. Unlike the rest of our Blends, these do not correspond to other Stampin’ Up! colours – rather, they were designed to allow us to create projects with a full range of skin tones. To assist us in using these markers, Stampin’ Up! has provided a chart for us to fill in with all the colours, to create a visual reminder of the many options. You can download your own printable chart right here.
These Blends are an absolute dream to colour with, and allow you to create beautifully customized images like the ones below.
The Designer Series Paper is really special, too. It’s a 6×6″ paper stack with black and white designs on both sides. Some of the designs feature images that relate to the stamp set and the theme of the bundle, such as the clasping hands, while other designs are more abstract. You can use the papers as they are, or use your Blends or other colouring tools to add customization to your project.
I’ve had a wonderful time playing and creating with this collection, and I’m so glad that Stampin’ Up! has honoured diversity in this way! I think I’ll be using these products often, to create really special projects like the one below.
The whole collection is available now, and the Natural Tones Blends will carry over to the upcoming annual catalogue. However, the stamp set and the paper are only available until May 2, and the dies are only available while supplies last.
