International Blog Hop

Our International Visual Blog Hop gallery will inspire you with current products as well as a sneak peek at a few of our new products which will be available to cutomers January 4, 2017 with the release of the new Stampin' Up!® Occasions catalog. We have all created this gallery of projects for you to be inspired by! Visit every one of our blogs and see a close up of our projects. Our theme this month is LOVE because as paper crafters we love spreading the love. You can see the gallery below and this will be on every blog that you click on so you will never be lost.

This cute banner is easy and fun to make using designer series paper and the ginger bread cookie from the Cookie Cutter Christmas set. The sentiment is from the Sealed with Love set, new from the Occasions catalog which will be available right after the first of the year.

Stamps: Cookie Cutter Christmas, Candy Cane Christmas, Sealed with Love
Ink: Real Red, Crumb Cake
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, Kraft Rope Trim, Pearl Basic Jewels, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Oval Framelits, Banner Framelits, Standard Cutting Pads, , Big Shot Magnetic Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine

In this close-up, you can see the extra interest the new Stitched Shapes framelits add. These dies are part of the new products that Stampin' Up! will add to the new catalog next June. However, they are available for purchase now. I think they add just the extra touch needed to make this a great project. Now that I'm looking at the final project, I think I'll go back and add some of the Whisper White mini pompom trim between each banner.

Occasions sneak peek at OnStage

So much has happened over the past few weeks! Over November 5 weekend, I drove from Houston to Kansas City for Stampin' Up! Nov 2016 OnStage. We saw the new Occasions catalog coming out to customer Jan 4 along with the Sale-A-Bration catalog. We made samples using new stamp sets and dies, swapped cards, and saw demos and more samples of the new sets from the Stampin; Up! Occasions catalog for 2017!

We made these cute Valentine samples.

Sealed with Love stamp set from new Occasions catalog - available Jan 4

Then we made these awesome birthday cards with a new die set and stamp set that I've fallen in love with: The Balloon Adventures set and the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlit Dies.

This is the front using new Party Animal Designer Series Paper

These new items will be available January 4, 2017, but if you want to order them Dec 1, sign up as a demo today and you’ll be eligible to pre-order new products from the Occasions Catalog starting December 1. This would make a great Christmas gift for yourself, and you’ll get a 20% discount on future demonstrator orders as well as qualify for Sale-A-Bration gifts (one for every $50 you spend – with your Dec. 1 order, too)! Customer sales period begins Jan. 4.

The display boards at the Stampin' Up! Nov 2016 OnStage events showcased the entire new Party Animal Suite, which will be available Jan 4, 2017. I'm already making more samples with the early order demos who attended OnStage were able to place as one of the benefits of attending OnStage. OnStage locations have already been announced for April 8, 2017. I'm trying to decide weather to attend San Diego, CA; Shreveport, LA; or Savannah Georga. There are also OnStage local events planned for Minneaplis, MN and Richmond, VA as well as Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand...(hmm I've got a lot of American Express points accumulated and I've always wanted to visit New Zealand... I'm glad I've got time to decide!) Where do you plan to attend?

I'll preview more samples from the new catalog over the next 45 days, so sign up to receive my blog (in the right hand column of my website) to see these sneak peek previews from Occasions catalog 2017.

OnStage was a great time to see past friends and meet new friends! Occassion catalogs, previewed by demos at OnStage, will be mailed to cutomers who have placed orders with me in the past 6 months in mid to late December.

To see swaps from the Kansas City OnStage event, check out the photo section of my Meetup Site. If you're looking for Thanksgiving and Christmas ideas, I received some great swaps using items from the current Holiday Catalog and the main catalog that will inspire you to get creative. Handmade holiday cards are one of the most meaningful treats you can send your friends and family during the holidays.

Stampin' Up! Haloween Scenes

Halloween Treats
Spooky Fun
Two more weeks for buy three get one Free Designer Series Papers

Halloween Scenes Edgelits Die

I can't believe its almost Halloween already. FOr some reason I skipped fall and started making Christmas Cards when the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog came out. I was determined to get an early start this year. Now I'm playing catch up on Halloween!

Internet blogs and Pinterest have been filled with cute ideas for Halloween treats and card. Today's Halloween ideas are cased with a bit of my own flair added to make them mine.

This cute little box is perfect for holding a few Dark Hershey Kisses. The original idea came from the www.chicnscratch.com blog.

I changed up the bow, used a different sentiment and banner from Sweet Home stamp set and matching die and added a bat from the Sweet Home set. The box is covered on four sides with Designer Series Paper from the Halloween Nights Specialty pack. The bat and the banner are popped up with dimensionals.

Stamps: Sweet Home Stamp Set (Sentiment) and bat
Ink: Black Staz-On
Paper: Basic Gray, Tangerine Tango, Halloween Night Speciality Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Halloween Night Baker's Twine, 1/8" Handheld cirlce punch, Standard Cutting Pads, Thin Die Adapter, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine,

The card is cased from www.bettygillespie.stampinup.net It uses the stamp and die set bundle, Soopky Fun Stamp Set, and Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies. It has a most unusual die cut as the card opens at the die cut fence. This photo (below) gives you an indea of how small the little treat box is as it sits next to a 5-1/2 X 4X1/4 standard card

Stamps: Spooky Fun Stamp Set
Ink: Basic Gray
Paper: Smoky Slate, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Basic Gray
Accessories: Halloween Night Baker's Twine, Halloween Scenes Edgelits Dies, Standard Cutting Pads, Thin Die Adapter, Big Shot Platform, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine,
