Layering Love with Dapper Denim

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

When I got done complaining that they were changing out the square framelit set with another one I was pleasantly surprised.  Coordinating scalloped squares, how very thoughtful!  This also helped me not be so sassy about the wonderful scallop circle punches being retired.  There are always adjustments when it comes to new catalogs, products and plenty of favorites retiring.

The card front was stamped with the Brushstrokes background stamp using the new dapper denim in-color.  I then spritzed it with water until the ink started to move around, let it sit for a bit, dabbed it with a paper towel and then dried it with my heat tool.  All done!

A quick stamp, but a lovely one, cut out with a new framelit, echoed with some more dapper denim in a scalloped framelit and layered up on dimensionals.  Of course I had to use more of that new wonderful ruched ribbon.  Dangerous stuff there.  I can usually control my ribbon purchasing for me and my club ladies, but I don’t know about this time.

The inside was stamped with a bunch of tiny little anchors to fill opposing corners.  It is also part of the same stamp set, which has several fabulous sentiments to be enjoyed.  I think today is a wonderful stamping day.

Perfectly Wrapped in Sweet Sugarplum

I am getting pretty darn excited for the new catalog to go live.  Just a couple of more days now!  This is a tiny peek into what awaits.  I usually wait to get into new product until everyone can order the new product, but I decided not this time.  I am so very excited about this particular new color.  I always enjoy the new in-colors Stampin’Up! brings out, but this one has me hook, line and sinker!

The card itself is really super simple and in my favorite style.  Creating my own background from pretty stamps is the best.  I used several stamps from the same set, Perfectly Wrapped.  It is actually part of a kit that you can make a ton of different types of gift boxes and bags.  I think it would be so fun to play with at a workshop. One thing at a time.  This set is really going to get a lot of use.

And can I say how wonderful this new ribbon is?  In the catalog I was totally unimpressed. It looked kind of dumpy and I didn’t plan on getting it.  However, when I placed my demonstrator pre-order I gave in and am I glad I did!  It ties bows like a dream and looks so pretty.  Again, you just can’t tell from a catalog what things are like.  Too bad I don’t just have one of everything.  How can you, really now.

Sale-a-bration is Almost Here!

~ moanaj ~ Leave a comment

To add on yesterday’s blog, this is the icing on that oh so delicious cake.  I love Sale-a-bration!  I already get to order what I love to work with.  But when you get to choose great free product too?  Almost too much.

Sale-a-bration is Almost Here!

And like my other box, this one is also tucked away waiting for me to get back home.  It will be tonight.  In the morning you should get to see a bit more excitement going on.

Sale-a-bration is Almost Here!

These are some of my soon to be favorites.  There are some that are limited time offers even within the short time of Sale-a-bration, so there is no time to waste.  I made sure I got those right away.

Another perk of being a demonstrator?   I already got to pre-order, how cool is that?  But, I also got to earn Sale-a-bration free items with that pre-order.  Of course I took full advantage of that opportunity.  Christmas all over again for this little crafter!

Sale-a-bration is Almost Here!

Have a creative day!

Sneak Peek from the Coming Stampin’Up Catalog

I know the new catalog won’t be live for a bit, January 5th actually, but I thought you would like a little peek into what is coming out.

Sneak Peek from the Coming Stampin'Up Catalog

Being a demonstrator, I get to pre-order before the catalogs go live.  That way I can get used to product as I get ready to share it with my customers and friends.  It was a seriously super exciting box, let me just shout that out.

Sneak Peek from the Coming Stampin'Up Catalog

Here are a few of the products close up that I am getting the most excited to use.  Yes, I haven’t used any of it yet!  I opened it up, looked at it all, took some quick photos and packed it back up.  I am still on holiday in Arizona with family and won’t get to play until I get back home.

When I do get home, it will be a serious frenzy for sure.  I will still have a week and a half of school break to work with.  Should be so much fun!

Can you believe all of this great product?  Me either.  I just love all of the product in this catalog.  Sometimes I don’t worry as much because not all of it appeals to me.  This one has my number.
