Happy New Catalog Day!!

Happy New Catalog Day! Don't you love all of the new stamp sets, Designer Series Paper, and embellishments?! It is all so gorgeous and exciting!

The Daisy Punch (Item #143713) has been especially popular! So much so that the stock has been depleted! Unfortunately, because it is so popular, the Daisy Punch is on backorder and has been placed in not orderable status. This means that the Daisy Punch (Item #143713) and the Delightful Daisy Bundle (Item #145361) are not able to be ordered at this time.

Stampin' Up! is working hard to get more punches in stock quickly. The expected return availability date is later this month on June 26th, 2017.

I will continue to watch the inventory status list for news and provide updates. You can also receive email notifications from Stampin' Up! once the punch is in stock. Click here to go to the Daisy Punch product page. Then enter your email address in the notification box at the bottom right corner of the page.

In the meantime, the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog is chock full of delectable new embellishments, including my new favorite 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon in Berry Burst (Item #144133), to be tempted by!

Speaking of tempting, I put in my order today! I have been making lists for weeks deciding what to get first. Let me tell you, it was not easy. I want to try everything! I put in one medium order today for my absolute must haves. I will then put in another order in July for Christmas classes. Watch my calendar for a new upcoming Christmas  series starting in July.

You know I love those cute little piggies! His happiness is so contagious. I ordered This Little Piggy stamp set (Item #143919 Wood-Mount / Item #143922 Clear-Mount) immediately. In fact, I many have ordered another for a giveaway. Mum's the word.

I also ordered the Coffee Break product suite. Coffee is my favorite caffeinated beverage. Naturally, I had to get everything.

I really like that little to go cup framelit in the Coffee Cup Framelits (Item #143745) matches the little to go cup image in the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper (Item #144155). You can die cut the the little to go cup right from the Designer Series Paper. There is no more fussy cutting for the darling cup!

The Coffee Cups Framelits and the Coffee Cafe stamp sets also come in a bundle with a 10% saving (Item #145331).

I ordered the rest of the Foil Frenzy Product Suite. The mini bows (Item #144127) are fantastic for gift wrapping and even in a large hurricane candle holder as a decorative storage accent. The Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (Item #144125) is also well-suited for making gift boxes and bags because of the Kraft paper backing. I am looking forward to pairing this with the Window Box Thinlits (Item #142762).

The Embossing Paste (Item #141979) is incredible! I can't wait to start creating my own embossed designs!

I will be demonstrating this at the Catalog Launch Party as well as Glossy White cardstock (Item #144240). Glossy White cardstock is another fabulous medium for painting and coloring that intensifies color.
 

I purchased a few more stamps, treats, and embellishments that I will save for when my package arrives! I can't wait to get started stamping!

What's on your Must Have List? I would love to hear what products on your Wish List!

Don't forget. My Catalog Launch Party is on Saturday, June 17th from 1pm to 4pm. I will have project samples using the new stamp sets, embellishments, and papers, prizes, games, demonstrations, and delicious food to munch on. I look forward to my Catalog Launch Parties as a time to spend with friends stamping, talking, laughing, and have a great time trying all of the new stamping products. Let's celebrate the new Annual Catalog together!

I appreciate you stopping by!

Sprinkles of Love with Paper Pumpkin

May's Paper Pumpkin is adorable! The kit is called Sprinkles of Love and contains supplies to create 9 circular cards - 6 doughnuts and 3 floral cards.

This month's kit reminds me of our local doughnut shop. They create more than 20 different and creative flavors every day. My husband and I sometimes go on the weekend to samples some of the more interesting flavors such as brownie blast and banana's foster. They are delectable!

The stamp set has heart-warming and dear sentiments! The play on words is fun too!

I especially love the "envelopes" this month. The cards are packaged in Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla striped paper bags with gold and Very Vanilla twine, giving a fresh from the bakery feel!

Written instructions are included with the kit, or you can follow along with the video.

Of course, you don't have to follow the kit instructions. Go where your creativity leads you! Check out this alternative project!

I will show you how to make this criss-cross fun fold card tomorrow.

Kit refills are now available while supplies last (Item #145293). Click here to order your refill.

Our monthly Paper Pumpkin Party is tomorrow from 1pm to 4pm. Bring your kits, a bone folder, and any additional products you would like to assemble your kit and/or to create alternative projects. See you tomorrow!

One Happy Little Piggy

I cannot wait for the This Little Piggy stamp set to debut! Talk about a darling stamp set! Out of all of the new stamps in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, this little piggy is my favorite! He/She is just so happy and cheerful that I can't help smiling too!

We made this sweet card, created by Lenore Whitehead, at my upline's monthly demonstrator meeting. We stamped the pig sitting down onto watercolor paper and used the aquapainters to color him in using Soft Sky, Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, and Powder Pink ink.

The Hardwood background stamp really enhances the farm theme too!

The leaf patterned paper comes from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper stack. This is my favorite Designer Series Paper stack from the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog! Every double-sized sheet is just gorgeous! I ordered three packs during my demonstrator pre-order, and I know I will be ordering more come June!
