After 22 years of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator you would think I wouldn’t get so excited for a new catalog launch! LOL! I always think they cannot possibly come up with new stamps that I HAVE to HAVE!!! But this company is awesome and they out do themselves all the time! And this time they REALLY outdid themselves! This upcoming September to December mini catalog is one of the best I can remember. I received my pre-order this week and I couldn’t wait to get creating!

I have so many ideas and below are just a few samples! If you are not currently working with a demonstrator and would like me to send you a new mini catalog please message me and I will mail one out asap!

The first suite I took out and played with was the Joy of Christmas Suite – the whole suite is lovely, the dies are fabulous and the papers are classic! There are two stamp and die bundles in the suite, 2 packs of DSP, Loose Holly Gems and Sequins embellishments pack and Black and Vanilla Gingham ribbon. I loved it all and needed to get it to show you some wonderful projects!
The first card is a simple card using the dies from the Christmas Classics Bundle and ink blending for the background in Real Red and Shaded Spruce in true Christmas colors!

This next card uses non traditional Christmas colors in the same bundle but a different die in Blended Ink in Coastal Cabana, the background of the base and layered cardstock is embossed with a new embossing folder called Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder and embellished with the Tinsel gems Four-Pack.

The other stamp bundle in this suite is called Joy of Noel and the first card I make with this card was for Wednesday’s Blog Post and I cased the card on the cover of the mini catalog! The second card I made was this one below that starts with a Poppy Parade cardstock base, stamped with the NOEL stamp in coordinating Poppy Parade ink with die cuts colored with Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers in Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce and Poppy Parade. The die cut letters of Noel are popped up on Mini Dimensionals in More Dazzle 6″ x 6″ Specialty Paper and embellished with the Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

This next card is a simply stamped Christmas card from the same Joy of Noel bundle opting to only color the berries in Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write marker and add the Noel die cut letters in Smoky Slate cardstock with Black and white Gingham ribbon and Adhesive-Backed Sparkle gems.

The next set of cards used the Sparkling Snowflakes Punch bundle. The card below is a peek-a-boo card in Coastal Cabana with a window die cut from the new Deckled Circles die set containing 14 concentric circles with a Deckled edge.

I love this color combination for snowflake cards – Coastal Cabana Gorgeous Grape and Azure Afternoon! This card below features all three of these colors in a whimsical Winter card on a Azure Afternoon cardstock base with a die cut fromthe Christmas Classics Bundle and the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack as the sparkle!

This next card also uses the Sprakling Snowflakes stamp set and all the colors as the previous card but also incorporates the gorgeous Silver and White Sheer Ribbon as it’s focal embellishment!

I fell in love with the Winter Meadow 12″ x 12″ Designer Series paper – the soft winter scenes were irresistible to me and I bought the whole suite because of the paper!
This first card from this suite features the stamp set, the dies and the paper. I added Tinsel Gems and Misty Moonlight Inner Braid ribbon for the embellishments.

This next card from this suite uses the soft Pebbled Path hued winter scene with a deer in the foreground, I added Pebbled Path ribbon, In Color Decorative Dots and a Stylish Shapes circle die with the Winter Wishes sentiment from the Winter Meadow stamp set. A super easy and elegant card!

The last card from this suite features the Misty Moonlight infused watercolored images of trees in a 4″ square with the Misty Moonlight Inner Braid Ribbon and the Neutral Adhesive-backed sequins around my favorite sentiment from this set!

I continue to create from this pre-order haul and will continue to share in upcoming Facebook and blog posts.

Let me know if you have not received a mini catalog yet and I will resent one in the mail, and if you are new to stamping or to me and would like me to become your demonstrator, please feel free to message me!

Go and make a list of your favorites from this catalog and I cannot wait to see what your list entails and what you must have first! Now go create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
