New Catalog Release September 1st!!!!

Offer good from August 30, 2107 to Sept 15th, 2017

I am so excited!  The brand new, incredible catalog from Stampin' Up! releases on September 1st!!!!   I can't share links yet to these new products, but I can share the link to my store and you can head there and see all the new and favorite things as soon as they launch!  Shop my Stampin' Up! store anytime HERE!  

I have been having an absolute blast playing with several of the new designs and collections and wanted to share some of my favorites with you.

Hard to pick a favorite, but number one on my list so far is the Quilted Christmas Suite.  The 6"  x 6" papers were just a must have addition to my Christmas crafting stash.  I can even see several of the papers and the dies teaming up to make a wonderful mini album or scrapbook layout with a sweet country charm for throughout the year.    

I started off just playing with the dies and stamps and made these quick cards and embellishment pieces.  

I had to use the darling papers and embellishments to make a pair of stockings using the Trim Your Stockings Thinlits.  These will also make great big embellishments for scrapbook layouts,too.  

Quilt 6 x 6 Designer Papers

 Another set I think I will be using a lot this and future holidays is the Merry Little Labels Bundle!  I was inspired by some tags from a very talented crafter, Mary Fish.  

One of the BEST things Stampin' Up! did for all of us this year is to make sure we can team up some favorites from the annual catalog with the wonderful new items in the holiday catalog.  That's why you will see me using the Be Merry Designer papers on these tags and in so many of my upcoming cards and layouts.  

The gorgeous snowflake borders you see here are created with the Snowflake Sentiments Bundle.  Can't you just picture this in glimmering golds and silvers and frosty blues and white glitters?   

 The Seasonal Chums bundle features an adorable snowman, reindeer and pumpkin that can be stamped na then die cut  showing the best of them from front and back!  How cut is that for treat and gift tags!  I couldn't wait to make a shaker card with the darling reindeer.  Next up will have to be the snowman in a snow globe!  

Next up on my list of favorites is the gorgeous Painted Autumn Suite.  I love the papers, I love the stamps, I love the leaf punch!  I love this Suite.  My quick samples do not do this suite justice.  It is so easy and fun to play with and the color combinations are endless.  I am so excited looking forward to making some scrapbook layouts with those gorgeous papers!
 And then of course, there is the darling Halloween Spooky Night Suite.  From the papers to the fun loving this set is just so playful.  Plus!!!! there is a cat punch to add to the mix! How great is that!!!!

I just had to use the papers and stamps from the set to make a quick gift card holder.  Aren't those potion bottles just too cute?  And a mouse!!! Just tickles my funny bone!
 

Now, just because I did mostly cute and charming things on my first go round, doesn't mean there is not plenty of dazzling varieties in this newest catalog release.  From the rich metallics in the Year of Cheer bundle to the Night in Bethlehem bundle and the Hearts Come Home bundle, plus so much more, you are sure love this newest offering!  

 Just couldn't sign off without sharing some of my latest cards and crafts using two great collections.  First up is a shaker card, Keurig and chocolate treat holder and gift card holder using the Coffee Cafe bundle.  Shop the Coffee Cafe Bundle HERE!  

And I loved playing with the Oh So Eclectic Bundle to make this bright step card.  Love the die that cuts the quilt look design!  Shop for the Oh So Eclectic Bundle HERE!

So be sure to set some time on your calendar this weekend and shop the great new and best of from the Stampin' Up! catalogs and be sure to have fun crafting!

August Specials and Host Code for gifts with purchase!

So excited to share my August Specials and project ideas with you!

Welcome to August!  I can't wait for cooler weather and the kick-off  to a wonderful holiday season!  Let's get right to the good stuff, that will help you get off to a fun and creative season...

A very good friend of mine asked me to make some cards to be sent to share with military personnel...for them to send to loved ones.  I quickly made a dozen cards for her to send off and just wanted to show you a quick pic of a couple.  I used the Pumpkin kit I received as a gift from Stampin' Up!  It was intended to be shaker cards with sequins, but since you can't use any shiny for the cards for our military, I just lined the leaf openings with watercolor paper I "smooshed" with fall color inks.  I love how they turned out.  Simple, yes, but I hope they enjoy!  

Now here's some fun news to share with you this first week of August...
