"Head's Up" for all of you faithful readers…get ready to do the "happy dance" when you see the NEW catalog! It takes many, many looks to take it all in!

It's funny – I think we all get a bit reluctant with "change" and I am sure like myself…we are sad to see many stamps sets being discontinued and then when we get the new catalog and do that 1st go-thru…we say…it's ok but…IT TAKES TIME to let it all soak in!

I have been looking at it everyday and each day I get more and more excited to order the new goodies! HANG TIGHT – Stampin' Up! has not and will not let us down and personally – I think they did an amazing job with the new catalog!

Here is a sneak peak of one of the incredible designer series paper…it is called "Quatrefancy Specialty" and it is WOW! Just love all of the rich colors and it is so fresh and cheery! I did the card style last month and had so many great comments, I thought it would be fun to use a total different scheme! Hope you enjoy!

• The base is Pool Party 8 1/4" X 4 1/4"…scored at 2 3/4". The inside Whisper White piece is 5 1/4" X 4 " and the print paper is 5" X 3 3/4"

• The outside scored piece is Whisper White 2 1/4" X 4" and the fun print paper is 2 1/4" X 3 3/4".

• The "inside" card it Pool Party 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored in half…31/4" then layered with the NEW IN COLOR yummy color – Strawberry Slush in a 3" square with a piece of Watercolor paper at a 2 3/4" square ( make 2 of these)

• The butterfly from the Best of Butterflies Stamp Set was stamped on the watercolor paper using the Black Staz On Ink and then using the Aqua Painters I accented with a couple of the colors I pulled from the color scheme of the designer paper! I popped using Stampin  Dimensionals for the Butterfly!

• The inside sentiment came from one of the "bye-bye" stamp sets, "A Word For You"…one that I will miss, always a simple and special way with words!

• The envelope was jazzed up by cutting the designer paper to fit the outer flap and then using the best scissors in the whole wide world…the paper snips to make it look WOW!

I hope you enjoyed this post…it is truly a great card style to make in so many ways! I was totally WOWED by the amount of emails that I received yesterday in getting the files for the paper!
