The new catalogs are packed with beautiful samples, ideas for color combinations, and simple tutorials.  Large product photos and less text makes the new catalog easier to use.  The free merchandise benefits and hostess gifts have moved to the back of the catalog so you can get right into seeing new stamp sets and products.

Coordinated Product Suites for smart purchasing

I love how Stampin' Up! has made it easier and faster than ever to coordinate products.  Stamp sets, Designer Series papers and embellishments are grouped into suites...products that all work together.  This time-saving coordination of products means smarter purchases for you.  My favorite product suite in this catalog is Floral District.  Take a look at pp. 70-71 of the new catalog to see samples of stamp sets, background stamps, stampin' around wheels, designer fabric, Bigz XL dies that all work together beautifully in this Suite.  Which is your favorite product suite from the new catalog?




Product Suites also available on disc for My Digital Studio

And, if easy purchasing of coordinating products weren't enough, this suite is also available on disc for My Digital Studio.   You'll find coordinating My Digital Studio discs for your favorite suite (s) on pp. 198 -199 of the new big catalog.



 
The Floral District Collection DVD is Item 127217, $23.95.  This is a 10% savings over downloading each of the items in the collection separately.

Free In Color download for My Digital Studio

Speaking of My Digital Studio, you can download the five new In Colors for your copy of My Digital Studio for FREE.  These five new In Colors will be active for two years, and are a wonderful addition to coordinate with with your digital designs or your traditional card making and scrap booking projects.

In Color resin Dahlias

I was so excited to see the new In Color Dahlias that match the 5 new In colors (Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Summer Starfruit)!




I have been making my own resin flowers and shapes from molds, clear resin and Stampin' Up! Craft reinkers.  None of my molds are a wonderful (or as convenient) as this little  3/8" Dahlias from Stampin' Up!  I know I'll be using a ton of these the next two years, so I went ahead and ordered 15 packages with my first new-catalog order.  Better hurry if you want some of these (hee hee)...or they'll be on back order!  Order Item number 127556, pp. 175, $7.95 for 20 flowers, 4 each in 5 colors.

New Paper-Piercing Pack

I have to tell you about one more new product before I sign off today.  Its the new Paper-Piercing Pack.  This pack allows you to accent many of the new Big Shot Edgelete and Framelit designs, punched shapes and tags.  It is item number 126187 p 181, and at only $7.95 I think it is one of the best values in the whole catalog!  If you need a new Paper-piercing tool and a Stampin' Pierce Mat, those items are also available on p 181.

Paper-piercing Pack - Item 126187, p181 - $7.95

One thing I like about downloading the FREE pdf of the catalog is that I can view the samples in the catalog at a very large size.  Take a close-up look at the sample on p 181 to see the beautiful accents you can add to your cards with this Paper-piercing pack!  View the new Big Shot Edgelets and Framelets on pp 190-191.  Download the .pdf version.
