30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 28

Stampin’ Up! Rugged Icon Dies

For Day 28 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog I am sharing the product that was one of the very first things I had to have from this catalog. The Rugged Icon Dies.

There are 5 dies in this set and I love them all! My favorite is the mountain scene that you see here. I do live in Colorado! πŸ™‚

Thank you to Laurie Seki for sharing this card. Laurie die-cut this mountain scene several times in different colors so she could insert the colored pieces in the negative space of the scene die-cut from black.

The other images that you can find in the die set is a guitar outline, an outline of a beard (too fun!), a drill outline and a fishing rod outline.

The fishing rod is another favorite of mine since we do have the family cabin and do a lot of fishing while we are there. I know I’ll be making a lot of cards using this die.

This die set is already in my craft room waiting for me so it doesn’t need to go on my wish list. Will it be on your wish list? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping.

Day 26 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Embossed Treat Bag

It’s another treat bag for Day 26 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! This is the Embossed Treat Bag.

Here’s how Stampin’ Up! describes these bags: “These bags feature a fun embossed pattern that will make your gift memorable. They also have a handle for easy carrying. This bag is perfect for last-minute giftsβ€”just pop in your gift and you’re ready to go!”

These bags are 4-3/4″ x 6-1/2″ x 1-1/2″. They are big enough to fit a nice gift.

Thank you to Arlene Ross for this lovely design using the Brilliant Wings Dies. Look closely at the bag and you can see the embossed stripes on it.

I think I found another item for my wish list! You?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 24

Heavenly Hollyhocks

Lovely flowers for Day 24 of our 30 Days of the new catalog. Today’s featured bundle is the Heavenly Hollyhocks Bundle found on page 118 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

Thank you to Cheri Stojkovich for these lovely cards. The large flowers and greenery on Cheri’s cards are die cut. Click on the link above and you can see that there are two dies for the flowers and leaves, one a little more intricate than the other.

You can also stamp the set of three flowers (they are one stamp) and layer the dies on top of the stamped image for even more depth. Wow!

So who’s adding this bundle to their wish list? πŸ™‚

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 23 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

Stampin’ Up!’s Hues of Happiness

Three samples for the price of one for Day 23 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! These beautiful cards were made with Stampin’ Up!’s Hues of Happiness Suite of products. Gorgeous! I don’t need to add this suite of products to my wish list because they are already in my craft room!

The designer paper is the big winner of this suite in my opinion. The flowers on these cards are made from the designer paper. The floral and leaf images were heat embossed on the designer paper and then die cut. Beautiful!

The Happiness Abounds stamp set contains seven all-occasion sentiments in the beautiful font that you see on the cards as well as floral and leaf designs.

Thank you to Tammy Wilson for these gorgeous cards. I am going to try some of these on my own when I return to my craft room! Is this suite going to make it into your craft room?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 22

Textured Chic Suite by Stampin’ Up!

What a fun card for Day 22 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Today highlights Stampin’ Up!’s Texture Chic Suite of products that can be found on pages 98-99 of their new catalog.

Thank you to Cheri Stojkovich for this fantastic card. Not only did Cheri use the items from the suite, but she also used the beautiful Rose Gold Specialty Paper (pg. 139).

There are so many fun textures on this card from the papers used to the ribbons and the die-cut shapes. Besides shells, there are leaves, snowflakes, flowers and seven different sentiments in the stamp set. There are 19 different dies in the Chic Dies set including the fun lattice-type design shown in gold on this card. You’ll definitely get a lot of bang for your buck if this suite ends up in your craft room!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 21 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

Waterfall Canyon Thank You Card

Did you say WOW when you first saw the project for Day 21 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog? I know I did! At first I thought some of the pieces and parts were die cut but this card is all stamping (except the label)!

The card was made using the Waterfall Canyon stamp set found on page 94 of Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog.

When you look at the images in the stamp set you may think there are 24 stamps, but there are only 12. Waterfall Canyon is one of Stampin’ Up!’s new “Reversibles” stamp sets. This means that there is an image on both sides of a stamp. One side is solid for background and the other is detailed. This is how you see two colors in the waterfall and canyon walls. Very cool.

Thank you to Amy Koenders for sharing this beautiful card! It perfectly illustrates what you can do with this stamp set.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 20 – 30 Days of the New Catalog

Wisteria Wishes Card Stampin’ Up!

Beautiful Wisteria for Day 20 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Stampin’ Up’s Wisteria Wishes Bundle can be found on page 92 of their annual catalog.

This lovely card was made by Ellen Woodbridge. The only stamp Ellen used was for the sentiment. The rest of the card was made using just the dies. I love how intricate the leaf dies are.

The stamp set includes 5 floral/leafy images as well as five lovely sentiments including this “hang in there”.

The brick background was made using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. It sets off the die cuts perfectly.

The label that the sentiment is stamped on is from the Stylish Shapes Dies which is a set of stitched circles, squares and labels of various sizes. A definite must for any craft room.

Hmmm…should I put this bundle on my wish list too? That darn list keeps getting longer and longer!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 19

Sun Prints Suite

For Day 19 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog I’m sharing another gorgeous suite of products with you.

The Sun Prints Suite is a must to check out. It can be found on pages 90-91 of the catalog.

In my opinion, the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper is the highlight of this suite. It is absolutely gorgeous in shades of blue and gray. Unfortunately, the card I picked for today doesn’t have any of the designer paper on it. Be sure to click on the link to see all of the beautiful patterns.

Thank you to Peggy Noe for sharing this card. Peggy used the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder on her caNrd. Isn’t the font used on the sentiment nice? The stamp set includes four floral and leafy images and four sentiments in this beautiful font. The Natural Prints Dies cut out some of the images, a wreath, and a tag that the sentiments can fit on.

I’m afraid I’ve added another suite of products to my wish list! The Sun Prints Suite will work for almost any occasion. Be sure to check it out!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 18 of 30 Days of the New Catalog

Stampin’ Up!’s Heron Habitat Bundle

What a beautiful card for Day 18 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! This card was made using the lovely Heron Habitat Bundle.

I’m not a big bird person but all the cards I’ve seen made with this bundle are gorgeous! This card made by Connie Babbert with Pool Party, Sahara Sand and Black is so striking! Thank you Connie for sharing it.

There are three different birds in the stamp set, five sentiments and a few other stamps. Don’t you love this tag? There’s another on like it in a different size. I’m almost tempted to buy this bundle just for the sentiments and the tags! πŸ™‚

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 17

Wild & Sweet Stamp Set

Check out this sweet little koala bear for Day 17 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! Adorable. There are 3 adorable critters in the Wild & Sweet stamp set that can be found on page 87 of the new catalog. There is a koala bear, a racoon and a panda bear. These images are life-like and perfect for coloring.

Which of the animals in this stamp set is your favorite? They’re all so cute I’m not sure I an decide.

Thank you to Karen Ksenzahovic for sharing such a sweet card. I probably won’t add this stamp set to my wish list only because coloring is not my strongest talent. Do you like coloring? If so, leave a comment and let me know what Stampin’ Up! product(s) is/are your favorite to use.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 16!

It’s the Tea Boutique Suite for Day 16 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! I do love this bundle! It was the first item on my new catalog preorder back in April. Last week in my newsletter I shared the bridal shower invitations I made with it.

Thank you to Windy Ellard for sharing this sweet card. She used the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes. These are one of my favorite parts of the suite. They’re not just for tea time! I’m looking forward to using them with other stamp sets.

The Cup of Tea stamp set has two different cup stamps, some flowers and greenery, tea tags, a lemon slice and 10 little sentiments! So fun!

I can’t wait to get back to my craft room and play with this suite some more! Is it on your wish list? πŸ™‚

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 15!

Sending Smiles Card

Can you believe we’re half way though our 30 Days of the New Catalog? Day 15 brings us a bright and cheerful card made with the Sending Smiles Bundle that you can find on page 14 of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog.

The highlight of this bundle is the two-step “Sending” dies. There is a die for the cursive word and then a background die to highlight it. Included in the stamp set there are 8 different phrases that go with the word “Sending” along with floral and greenery stamps.

The frame on the card was die cut using the Fabulous Frames Dies. Such a fun card! Thank you to Karen Henderson for sharing it!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 14!

Brushed Shapes Dies

Happy Flag Day on Day 14 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! Don’t you love this card? So creative!

This card was made using the new Brushed Shapes Dies on page 170. This is one of those cards you look at and say “how did she come up with that idea?”. I don’t think I ever would have thought of it.

This set of dies has 9 different shapes including a couple of hearts and some circles. The longer red stripes on the card are actually two “squiggles” put together.

Thank you to Cindy Coutts for this creative idea. It’s perfect for Flag Day and would make a great card for the 4th of July too or any type of patriotic occasion.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 13 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

Speedy Recovery card

A cute and simple get well card for Day 13 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. At some point, we all know someone who could use a little cheering up when they’re under-the-weather.

This card by Laura Milligan is fun and simple and can be made in any color. Laura used Orchid Oasis and the Speedy Recovery stamp set found on page 76 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

This stamp set has fun images and sweet sentiments to choose from. Yep, another item for my wish list! How about you?

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 12!

True Beauty Card

Day 12 of 30 Days of the New Catalog brings another beautiful floral card. This card was made using the gorgeous Awash In Beauty in Suite of products found on pages 66-67 in Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog.

I think my favorite part of this suite is the lattice die from the Organic Beauty Dies that you can see on the background of this card. So pretty!

The True Beauty stamp set has lovely soft flowers and four different sentiments in a beautiful font.

Thank you Julie Gilson (again) for the gorgeous card. I shared one of Julie’s cards yesterday. (Apparently I really like her style!) πŸ™‚

I do have the Awash in Beauty Designer Paper (which is gorgeous!), but I think I’m going to have to add this bundle to my wish list. Hmmm…this wish list of mine is getting rather long…..

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
