The new catalog is here! And you can view many of the product online right now! The thumbnail on the left is a clickable download of the entire catalog PDF, but it is a long download.
I have already done a lot of damage ordering new stuff I just can’t wait to have… especially the designer series papers and new Sizzix dies!
Come to my New Catalog Open House on the 23rd and see and play with it all… or my Stamp a Stack the week before.
DEAL OF THE WEEK: From July 1-31, Stampin’ Up! is offering a Deal of the Week each Monday at noon (EST). This week it is the Scalloped edge punch!
This is a very popular punch and creates a beautiful scallop edge that creates a beautiful accent to your projects!

Bigz XL Die Box #2 purse
Posted: Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 | CommentsNOTE: The new 2009-2010 Catalog will be online today by 5:00 pm EST along with a ‘Deal of the Week‘ (which is a new special offer every week for the month of July) as well as an incredible $85 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Starter Kit is coming later this month (you can read about that offer here).
I got the Bigz XL die ‘Box #2′ (order #114518) several months ago and wasn’t sure what to do with it. The end result box wasn’t very large (approx. 4 in. wide, 2 inches high and 1 inch deep).
In fact, this Kiwi Kiss rectangular box sat on my desk for a few months until I realized that the Scalloped Circle 2 die made a nice fold over wrap and gee, it could be a pocketbook!
Another accessory that I haven’t used at all until now was the large grommet (I used a silver one). The grommet is just pressed into the paper (you need a sponge pad–not your fingers behind it, LOL!). Then just bang down the little (razer sharp) points to hold it in place. A 1/2 inch punch of coordinating paper will finish the look of a button or fastener for the pocketbook.
The coordinating designer series paper that I used here is Raspberry Tart (which is retiring today), but there are simply GORGEOUS new papers coming in the new catalog!!!
And on that note, I have 5 cases of catalogs looking for loving homes… come to my New Catalog Open House for fun and free stuff on Thursday, July 23rd at 7:00 pm. CLICK HERE to RSVP (this event will fill, so don’t delay).
Seaside Birthday Card
Posted: Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 | Comments
I just absolutely love this set of seashells… and unfortunately it doesn’t appear to be being replaced in the new catalog…
Seaside #113512 features 5 shells and is $25.95. You can view the set online in my post last week.
The card is whisper white and the pink toile print is from Bella Birds designer series paper (also retiring June 30th).
The body of the card is Bordering Blue and sponged with White Crafter’s ink. The shells on pink paper were embossed in white and sponged in Pink Pirouette.
The conch shell was embossed in white on Whisper White paper and sponged with daubers in Pink Pirouette and Bordering Blue inks.
The greeting and other shells were stamped in White crafter’s ink.
I earned Stampin’ Up!’s cruise as of last Friday and believe me, it has been *years* since I’ve earned it on them amount of sales. So, the good new is that even in this tough economic times, my sales are higher than they’ve been in years.
Isn’t that one more reason to consider direct sales as a business? You’ll LOVE your boss and you can’t be fired.
Nature’s Silhouettes Father’s Day Card
Posted: Thursday, June 18th, 2009 | Comments
Okay, who still hasn’t made their Father’s Day card yet? Well, this goes out to all you slackers… this is a quick one!
The tree and deer silhouettes are separate stamps and were stamped in black and the sky was sponged (using a sponge dauber) with a *tiny* bit of the following colors (from the top down): Bashful Blue, Barely Banana, Blush Blossom & Mellow Moss. How easy is that?!
The designer series paper is ‘Prestwick’ (from the Fall/Winter 2008 catalog) is the exact same patterns (different colors) as the current (and retiring next week) Manchester DSP. Love those plaids!
I have included my ‘quick card’ template for making a super-fast card with Designer Series Papers.
The dimentions are as follows: standard sized card turned ‘landscape’ , the bottom layer is 4×4, the next layer is 4 x 3 1/2, the top (focal stamped image) is 3 x 3 1/4.
Okay, so what are you waiting for? You know this won’t be Tony’s card (he’d say ‘another roadkill card’ remember?)
