The new 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! annual catalogs were released June 1, and you can now begin placing orders for new merchandise.  I was so excited to learn that Stampin' Up! picked and shipped most of my order yesterday and I'll have it by next week.  Way to go Stampin' Up! warehouse team!

  • Download the .pdf version of the new catalog to your desktop for free.  It is a very large file so give it some time.

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.




  • To add the new In Colors to My Digital Studio, Open the software, go to Help in the menu bar and select, Check for updates.  Accept the update and restart your computer after the software is finished loading.
  • Order the new In Colors in Card stock, Pens, Ink pads and reinkers and coordinating embellishments from my store..   Visit my Stampin' Up! store to see new In Colors and don't forget to add the new catalog to your order.

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.

    Vintage Vogue Digital Scrapbook sample

    • Vintage Vogue digital scrapbook page
    • My Digital Studio Express Software use Free for 30 days!

    I took a break for making cards and did a quick My Digital Studio software project. 

    And I really do mean quick.  For this digital scrapbook page I used the Vintage Vogue digital download for My Digital Studio (or download a version for your favorite digital design software).  The digital download includes the flowers and boarders as a digital stamp set and the page scrapbook page template, (121062 - Vintage Vogue Stamp Brush Set) so you get the 7-piece Vintage Vogue Stamp set and one 8-1/2 X 11 template page with this digital download.  To personalize the page using the same font as the template, you'll want to download the Rough Type Stamp Brush set (121066).  To make the page my own I used the Blushing Bride pleated ribbon from the huge Twitterpated kit (129332) digital kit.  This kit include all 4 of the pleated ribbons, 12 buttons, 15 DSP patterns, a 16-piece stamp set and a one-page 12 X 12 Designer template.  For me, it was a must-have just for the 4 digital pleated ribbons introduced as real-life ribbons in Pear Pizzaz (125568), Riding Hood Red (125569), Blushing Bride(125570), and Baja Breeze (125571) in this Springs Occasion Mini catalog.

    My two grand nieces, Harper and Finley are growing up all too fast.  I love to capture photos their parents post for me on Facebook and turn them into quick scrapbook pages.  Then I print them and send a copy to my mom.  She loves to show off her eight great grandchildren to her friends and family!


    Recipe
    Stamps: Digital Download - Vintage Vogue Stamp Brush Set (121062)
    Paper:   Sahara Sand, Melon Mambo
    InksUse the eye dropper feature in My Digital Studio to pick up colors in the blouses to color the  matching flower stamps
    Accessories:  Although this template is perfect on its own, I just had to use the Blushing Bride pleated ribbon from the Twitterpated kit (129332), I also added digital pearls to the centers of some of the flowers

    Today's card is a fast, simply card using Mixed Bunch.  . . . representing my whole team at work who are all sick with sore throats and colds...and they ARE a mixed bunch! 

    I think I'm running a fever, too, so I wanted to make something simple and fast.

    I'm such a fan of textured impression folders.  It adds a point of interest with soooo little work using the adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  I haven't used Tempting Turquoise in a while, and I wanted something fresh for this card.  I embossed one of the flowers from Mixed Bunch, framed it against Whisper White and added a layer of Tempting Turquoise  against a Basic Gray base card.  I added a sentiment from Loving Thoughts and anchored it on one edge with a Tempting Turquoise glitter brad.     Done; finished, in no time at all.  Now I can make some tea and curl up under a blanket for the rest of evening.
