Holiday Carryover List

 

 

 

Some of you may be wondering why there aren't any Holiday stamp sets in the new catalog.  Rest assured that Stampin' Up! has that covered! They are so awesome!  On August 1st, the Holiday Catalog will be available with NEW stamp sets!  In the meantime, Stampin' Up! released a Holiday Carryover List of stamp sets that were featured in last year's Holiday Catalog and the Spring Catalog.  These sets will be available for the entire 2013-14 Catalog Season but will not be featured in the catalog.  Click the link to the left to see what those sets are. 

It's here! Stampin' Up! 2013-14 Annual Catalog!

Candy Dots, Simply Pressed Clay and Molds, Big Shot Magnetic Platform...those are just a few things featured in Stampin' Up!'s 2013-2014 Catalog. 

Today is the day you can start ordering!  YIPPEEEE!!!!  I have to say, this catalog is the most beautiful Stampin' Up! catalog I have ever seen.  The layout, colors, and ideas are fantastic!  If you haven't received your new catalog yet, please shoot me an email.  I can send one to you, Priority Mail, for $5.00. 

In the meantime, click the catalog picture to the left and see everything this catalog has to offer!  After looking, comment below and tell me what you think.

Everyone have a great day and don't forget to do something kind for another person today!

Swallowtail Framed Picture using Stampin' Up!'s MDS2

I am going to be painting and decorating a small bathroom soon and since I LOVE BUTTERFLIES...I want to use those to decorate.  I am a true Pinterest addict and I saw a similar idea but don't know who it was (if it was you, let me know!).

 

I found the frame at a local thrift store and repainted it white. For the picture I used Stampin' Up!'s MDS2 software program and printed the picture in black and white. I used a blender pen and a brand new in-color, Coastal Cabana, to add a touch of color to the butterfly.  

Stampin' Up! recently lowered the price of the MDS2 software. If you love photo books and scrapbooking, this is THE SOFTWARE to have. Stampin' Up! offers professional printing of cards, photo books, calendars, and single pages or you can print from your own computer. Check it out at

Flowers are forever....with Stampin' Up!

 

 

Stampin' Up! has a nice selection of punches for paper crafting. I saw this idea in the BRAND NEW 2013-14 catalog (which starts Friday, yeah!). I didn't have the same punch that was used but I used SU!'s Blossom Punch instead. After my cardstock was punched out, I ran the blossoms through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice Embossing Folders, to give them some texture. Using a bone folder, I slightly curled each petal then sponged around the edges with the same color of ink.  I used a hot glue gun to assemble the flowers (each flower required 3 blossom pieces). For the Centers I used the flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and the coordinating Bitty Buttons for the centers. For the stems, those were purchased at a local craft store.

 

I love the look with the texture. 

 

For those of you who don't have the flower punches, Stampin' Up!, for a limited time, is offering The Blooming Bouquet Project Kit (134542).  It comes with everything you need to make 13 flowers.  Watch the video linked below to learn more about this product. 

Hurry! This kit is only available while supplies last!
