New Catalog Is Almost Here

Here are a few more sneak peeks of new stamp sets in the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. My wonderful upline Janet Wakeland stamped and mailed these cards to me. Thank you, Janet!! All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

4th of July Cards

Finally, I'm crafting before the day before a holiday!! Ginny & I sat down tonight and created a few 4th of July cards using Stampin' Up! punches and the retired Starstruck stamp set. These were pretty fun & very quick! All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

Christmas Punch

I tend not to pre-buy hostess stamps sets because I can usually get them for free later on, but when I saw this stamp set, I couldn't resist. You can use a punch to cut out every stamped image! It doesn't get much easier than that! And when I saw the sample in the Idea Book & Catalog of creating a set of Christmas gift tags, I was sold on this stamp set!! I had fun stamping these, and Ginny even helped me on a few. Enjoy! All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

Wings of Friendship

Here's the other make and take that Teri did for us at our meeting last week. It's made from the new Wings of Friendship Level 2 hostess stamp set in the upcoming 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog. It's an 8x8 scrapbook page. All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

New Catalog Samples

Fellow SU! demonstrators Teri and Lecia came by my house last night to look at the new catalog, new In Colors, and new stamp sets. Teri was gracious enough to bring two make and takes using new stamp sets. I'll share the first one tonight. It's made with the new Circle Circus stamp set and a few of the new In Colors: Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry. Thanks, Teri!! All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

Last Set of Samples from Janet

Here are the last two samples that I recently received from my upline Janet.

The thanks card uses the new color flower brads, and the birthday greeting card uses the new hardware in the mini catalog. All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

Teacher Gift

Here's a semi-quick project that Ginny & I made as a gift to give to her teacher tomorrow. The box holds 6 3x3 notecards and envelopes. All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!

Birthday Card

I finally finished the Twilight books (all 4!) so I'm free to craft and post to my blog again!! I wanted to share this special card made especially for me from my friend Colleen. I really loved the colors and how the felt flowers were combined with an embossed stem using the Big Shot. Thank so much, Colleen!!! All images are copyrighted by Stampin' Up!
