Day 30 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

Vintage Tools stamp set & Split Card Texture Dies

We made it! 30 Days of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog. Have you enjoyed our 30 Days of the New Catalog? I know I have. I’ve loved looking for all of the samples and getting inspired by fellow crafters.

For our final day I am going to share two products with you that were shared on the same card. Thank you Cindy Brumbaugh for this fun masculine card!

The stamp set used on this card is the Vintage Tools stamp set found on page 87 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. The this stamp set includes 5 sentiments and 7 tools. This is another item that is already on the shelf in my craft room. My husband is quite handy and he loves to build things so this set is perfect!

The other product used is the Split Card Textures Dies found on page 174 of the catalog. I will admit that these dies didn’t do anything for me when I first saw them. Of course, now that I’ve seen so many fabulous cards made with them I’m going to have to add them to my wish list.

There are two dies in this set. The first one is the grid-like pattern you can see on this card. The second one is more of a floral pattern. If you look at Cindy’s card in the photo above, the entire Smoky Slate piece of cardstock was die cut with the Split Texture die. These dies will add a lot of interest to any project!

That’s it for our 30 Days of the New Catalog! Leave me a comment below if you’ve enjoyed the projects. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping.

Stampin’ Up! Deckled Rectangle Dies

Stampin’ Up!’s Deckled Rectangled Dies are featured here for Day 29 of 30 Days of the New Catalog. This set of dies can be found on page 170 of the annual catalog.

This is a beautiful card made with the Bottled Happiness stamp set. Check out the layers though. This is where you can see the Deckled Rectangle Dies. There 8 dies in the set. Two sets of layering dies. One set is long and thinner rectangles and the other set contains the ones shown on this card that are designed for a card front.

Thank you Allison Davini for sharing this lovely card.

Once again I have an addition for my wish list. Do you? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 28

by
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! 🙂

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.

Stampin’ Up!’s Delicate Details Box

We’re getting close to the end of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! For Day 27 I am sharing another treat package for you. This is the Delicate Details Treat Box that can be found on page 140 of Stampin’ Up!’s new catalog.

This lacy-looking box measures 3-3/4″ x 5-1/4″ x 2″ and is food safe. So pretty!

Thank you Peggy Noe for sharing this box. Peggy used a Blending Brush to apply a color to the front of the box. I love Blending Brushes to apply ink to my projects. They make it easy to get a nice soft coverage of color on your project.

Are you adding this pretty treat package to your wish list? Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

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 gifts—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!

Day 25 of 30 Days of the New Catalog

Stampin’ Up!’s Peekaboo Treat Bags

I have something a little different for Day 25 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Up to now, I’ve been sharing stamp sets, bundles and suites of products with you but now we’re moving to the back of Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog. This is where you will find all of the hidden gems that you didn’t even know were in the catalog!

One of the first things that I check out in a new catalog are the ribbons and the designer paper but then I move back to the front of the catalog and start in on the stamp sets and such. This is how I miss so many hidden gems like this Peekaboo Treat Bag which can found on page 140 of the annual catalog.

This cute little bag is 3″ x 4″ x 1-1/4″ and is food safe. Thank you to Rosalyn Smith for this fun sample! The stamped lemons are from the Cup of Tea stamp set. The coated almonds that Rosalyn put in her treat bags are Lemoncello Almonds. I think I might have to look into getting some of those! 🙂

I will be putting these little treat bags on my wish list. How about you?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 24

by
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? 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 23 of 30 Days of the New Catalog!

by
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

by
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!

by
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

by
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

by
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

by
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! 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

30 Days of the New Catalog – Day 17

by
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!
