The Stampin’ Up! Leadership event in San Antonio, Texas last week was the bomb!!! We had sooo much fun. Along with great friends (old and new), great food, a fun area along with Riverwalk…I got to cheer for my downline Dawn Gutro, who walked across stage for her promotion. I presented at the Share Fair (will be sharing this with my group tomorrow night for those who didn’t make the trip), and got to ride a Harley Davidson on stage…seriously?!?! How cool is that?!?!? Thanks to SU IT Director, Chad Richards for sharing his love of motorcycles.

At Leadership, an exciting new product was announced: A diagonal plate insert for the Simply Scored tool!! YEAH! Demos can pre-order Feb 20, Customers can get their hands on this baby March 1 (stay tuned).

The innovative, thin, wafer-life design of these dies lets you see where you’re placing the design before you cut! Layer dies inside each other to cut frames for stamp images.

Cut single hearts or labels for accetns or layering. Framelits Dies look very different from other dies in the Stampin’ Up! product line, but the opportunities are endless when you use them in your craft projects.

• Labels Collection Framelits dies #125598
• Hearts Collections Framelits dies #125599

Here is a quick video demoing these new babies:

I really like the Apothecary Art stamp set (#125525 wood, #125527 clear mount), and especially that it is designed to fit in the new Labels Collection Framelits # 125598 for the Big Shot. The background designer paper strip is from Well Worn #122359.

This was color with the Stampin’ Write markers. The background texture is from the Polka Dots impressions folder.

One of the benefits of using Sizzlit dies is the delicate and intricate designs they cut. Now, with Stampin’ Up!’s Paper Doily die #125592 you have the opportunity to create those beautiful detailed designs in a size that hasn’t been an option before. Create an intricate doily design from single layers of Designer Series Paper or card stock using this newly-sized larger Sizzlits die. Makes a delicate background on a card or a focal point on a frame. Doily image is approximately 4-1/4″ diameter.

Here is a quick video from Stampin’ Up! demonstrating how to use the new sizzlit die.

Cherry Scented?!! Seriously?!?! Shut the front door!!! True story, today’s card and video is an “Occasions mini Explosion” showing as many of Stampin’ Up!’s new toys from the Occasions mini catalog as I could possibly fit in one fabulously scented card. From Cherry scented emboss powder, to Adorning Accents Edgelits and Impressions folders and Doily die. For your entertainment, the video is complete with a funny story about just how good the cherry scent is, and my silly beagle…say no more…watch the video lol.

The Tea Shoppe stamp set makes it a great Valentine’s Day card, or switch out the “Teeny Tiny…everything” stamp set words for a different occasion.
