More Sneak Peaks From The New Catalog!

This stamp set, has coordinating paper, washi tape and Thinlits Dies!! I simply ADORE blue and white, I even collect blue and white porcelain. When I saw this product suite, I swooned!!!  Isn't it gorgeous? I can not wait to get my hands on this!!! These cards were made by Carrie, from the home office.

This stamp set and coordinating paper has so many possibilities, and I just love the fun colors.

 

This collection of papers has a photo realism style, and Carrie stamped over top of one of them for the first card. The stamp set is one of those 3 step stamping combos. I never would have thought of this. It sure would be fun to stamp with her for a day.

The Christmas selections in the catalog are lovely this year and the designer series paper is  yum!

Color Combo Aid

Don't you just love it when you see pretty color combos to use on your projects? So do I! In fact, I've been busily compiling combos for a few weeks, and inputting the RGB numbers for the perfect color replication of Stampin' Up! colors. I've devised an easy to use chart with nearly 200 combinations on it.  You can get your own copy FREE with any order of $25.00 or more. Below is a snapshot of just part of the handy tool. It's been updated with the brand new 2016-2018 In Colors.

The New Catalog is Coming!

The NEW annual catalog will be available for orders on June 1st!  I am SO EXCITED, because this is my favorite catalog so far! I just know you will love so many things in it to love, and just wait till you see the new In Colors! Oh my, they are just gorgeous! My favorite In Color set so far. Did I mention that I was excited?

Here is one of the new stamp sets that will be available for you to purchase. It's called Sitting Here and has 14 stamps in the set. There are also some greetings, a bird, a cat image, but as much as I love animals, I am not fond of cats. They bring back memories of being bitten in the face, clawed in the arm... tetnus and rabies shot. I still would pet and cuddle one if I was sure it was very gentle, except for the fact that I am allergic to them:( The only type of animal allergy I have. Go figure!

Se the video below with another idea for this charming set and a technique to use when stamping the puppy.

 

Calendar Easel

 Aren't these little calendars fun? They make such a thoughtful little gift for someone. Using Stampin' Up! double-sided paper is just too cute on this project! On the first one I used "Pretty Petals" and on the rest, "Birthday Bouquet" designer series paper. Notice how different the last three look, all the same paper, just different sides. The patterns in a pack all coordinate, which makes it so elegant and fun to use. I'm making a handful to take to some of the shut-ins at our church.

This easel is constructed differently than what I've made in the past. Here is a FREE tutorial
