Pretty Cards…

Here are a few new swaps I received in the mail and thought you’d enjoy seeing them, too.  These ladies continue to amaze me with their talent!  (All supplies Stampin’ Up!  and images copyright Stampin’ Up!)

Stamped by Kimberly Allen.

I just wish you could see the details like I do in person!  The white card stock on the bottom is shimmer card stock.  The pink satin ribbon is in our 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog (available in 9 colors!)  The paper is called Sending Love and has glitter already on it – really sparkly!

Stamped by Sharon Burkert

White card stock becomes specialty card stock when you emboss it with zillions of dots!  In the Occasions mini, Stampin’ Up has a new embossing folder called Stampin’ Up! Perfect Polka Dots.  Sharon also used our foil embossed paper, rubbed with ink, for the bird punch.  (at least I think that’s what she did!)

Stamped by Mary Ammar

Great MOM set coming out in the new mini, too!  It’s called  Messages For Mom.  Really love the fonts and Mary dressed it up with our new butterfly embosslit!

Sharon used the new embosslit called Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Wings.  Cuts and embosses lots of butterflies all at once!

Stamped by Rhea Hughes

Rhea stamped with the new set, Vintage Vogue, and layered it up with Not Quite Navy and Kraft accents.  See the new scallop punch border?

Love is in the air and another peek at the new punch border-

Stamped by Denise Marshall

I love the 2 blues mixed with white.  Denise used Brocade Blue and Night Of Navy card stocks and tied it up with white organza ribbon.

Stamped by Jan Cramer

(note the other new b0rder punch accent!)  This stamp set is going to be a favorite of mine.  It’s called I {Heart} Hearts and it has 10 different hearts, 3 of them fit into our punches!  Jan used 2 hearts, one is a larger outline.   I’m guessing she used the new clear mount stamps (rubber stamps that mount on clear blocks) to get the little one perfectly inside!  And see the adorable little chocolate chip flower brad?  Yep, it’s new too!

Creative use of the new Vintage Vogue flower stamps and the snowflake, Mary! The pic came out a bit dark – it is actually Bashful Blue.

Thanks ladies for another great month of beautiful swaps! Linda

Happy New Year, stampers!

The new Stampin’ Up 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog begins January 5th along with our annual SAB (Sale-A-Bration), which gives you free product with every $50 purchase.  Typically, we don’t post the new mini catalogs until the day we can order from them BUT Stampin’ Up has a delay in their mailing of the catalogs and has posted on our websites and the customer home page for you to see in case your copy hasn’t arrived yet.  Isn’t that nice?  I love sneak peeks!

If you are already on my mailing list and haven’t received your copy from me in the mail, hang in there! If you don’t have a SU demo and would like a copy mailed to you, click HERE to get on my list and be sure to put in  your mailing address (none of your information  shows publicly) so I can mail it to you asap! I’ll post the SAB catty on the 5th unless given the ok to do it sooner.

Meanwhile, you can download it by clicking on the pic above  or click HERE!

Look at this cute little box that was made by an artist at Stampin’ Up! Using With All My Heart, one of the new stamp sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog:

I really love the new Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions embossing folder!  Really sharp, perfect dots (which is why I guess they named it Perfect Polka Dots, right?)

Stay Tuned for some new things on my blog!  Some of you have been asking how our remodel and new stamp room is coming along.  (see Matt’s posts here for updates)   Well, we are nearing the end and my stamp room will be open for biz in a few weeks!

I’m going to be starting a new series on my blog for stamp room organization while I get my room ready and will be calling on my cyber buddies for your advice and tips!

Happy Stampin’!
