There is much excitement over the new Stampin’ Up! catalog, as a demonstrator I’ve been able to sneak peek and I can honestly say it’s AWESOME!!!!! There are some changes to the catalog and mini catalog roll outs, see below for details.
How do I get the new 2012-13 Stampin… Read More
The Bordering on Romance stamp set (#125480 wood, #125482 clear mount) made it's debut in the 2012 Occasions Mini catalog. I was overjoyed to see it carry over into this year's big Catalog! Yeah for Bordering on Romance! It makes everything look pretty. This card was a swap from my recent Stampin' Up! Incentive trip to Disney.
This fantastic 3D Flower ornament is another "brain child" from the Stampin' Up 2012 Occasions mini catalog products! Combining the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set (#125535 wood, #125537 clear mount) and coordinating Blossom Punch #125603 and attaching to a Styrofoam ball. The "Happiness" stamp is from Loving Thoughts (#125843 wood, 125845 clear mount) .
This is the new Stampin' Up! Elegant Bird bigz Die # 125593 for the Big Shot machine. a great die for so many projects, very vintage. Combine the versatile bird and wing shapes for fun, unique birds.Here's a couple of fun ideas.
Let's here one for the Dads! This super cute stamp from the Occasions mini catalog called Packed for Dad#125452 is packed full of fun "man-town" trinkets: remote control, pocket knife, spatula, hammer, tie, glass pocket watch and more! Here are some great cards created using the stamp.
Here are some Valentine's card ideas from the new Take it to Heart Stamp Set (125520 wood, 125522 clear mount) offered in the Occasions Mini catalog. These were hanging on a "clothes line" display at Stampin' Up!'s Leadership event, that's why they all have clothes pins on them (they weren't part of the design lol).
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.
This is a really pretty card for an engagement. Featuring the Love & Laughter stamp set (#125475 wood, #125477 clear mount) in the 2012 Stampin’ Up! Occasions mini catalog. Using the stampin' write markers to accent the "she said Yes!" on the image of the dress.
I'm leaving, on a jet plane! As this blog post makes it's way to you, I'm on my way to San Antonio, Tx for Stampin' Up!'s annual Leadership event! I have many great ideas coming all week for you while I'm gone.
You can follow my Live Leadership postings on my Facebook Page.
Today's 2 Occasions mini cards are from theTake it to Heart Stamp Set (#125520 wood, #125522 clear mount). This set was made to coordinate with the new Hearts Framelit Die collection#125599.
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.
Do you love using paper rosettes in your craft projects? Are you even frustrated with how long it takes to cut, score and fold the rosette properly? Try Stampin' Up!'s Designer Rosette die#125594 and make rosettes for your next project in a flash. Let this die and your Big shot do the cutting for you and scoring for you. This die features 2 designer edges for different rosette styles and this quick video from Stampin' Up shows how to make different sizes.
Another beautiful card from the 2012 Stampin’ Up! Occasions mini catalog, this card uses the Take it to Heart Stamp set. It also uses the brand new Framelits dies Labels & Hearts collection to make a gorgeous window on the front of the card. The window frames the image.
In honor of Father's Day coming up in June, I'm hosting a "Mantown" / Masculine Full Card Swap. Come join the fun. This is a customer card swap, however you can participate even if you are a demonstrator (we are customers too right hehehe).
"It's a boy"...or a girl lol! Recently I've had a lot of customer requests for Baby card ideas. Congrats to all of the babies! I love it. Here's a great, simple card idea from Susan Adams. This uses theBaby Prints stamp set(#125470 wood, #125472 clear mount) from the Occasions Mini Catalog (hurry only available thru April 31!!).
The Sweet Shop Product Suite from the Occasions Mini Catalog is just too yummy to pass up, and it's going fast! Only available for 1 more week. This darling card was created by Kristine Burns. She used the Sweet Shop Specialty Designer Paper #125408, Build a Cupcake Punch. The frosting on top was created with a White Craft pad re-inker and some crystal effects...very yummy in person!!
Here's a clever use for your Ovals Big Shot die #114525...flower pot!! So fun!The flower images are from the Mixed Bunch stamp set #125535 wood, #125537 clear mount. Flowers were punched with the Blossom Punch #125603. Both of these items are from the Spring Occasions mini catalog.
I love the vintage feel and beautiful images in the Rue Des Fleurs stamp set (#125485 wood, #125487 clear mount) in the Occasions mini catalog (ending April 30, 2012). These are a few great swaps using the set, stay tuned for more.
