I naturally could not share with you what I did for my downline for the Stampin' Up! NEW Catalog Premiere….and with having to write this post BEFORE the event…I am just soooooo excited!
At the end of the post I am going to sneak in something about the
new catalog to "inspire you"…
if I can be awake enough when I get home!
I felt so blessed to have 3 of my "downline peeps" go with me to the Alexandria, VA show….and I also had the great opportunity to be with (2) more of Mary Fish's PALS that met up with us…..sooo much fun!
I hope that you can see that I was able to "keep it simple"…yet make it a super fun card! As always, I will break it down for you! It was fun and making it made me get so excited to see the new catalog!
- The base is the notecard size…(WOWZERS – that's a shocker for me!!!!) and then the red is 4 5/8" X 3 1/8"….using the white gel pen…..I did my "dash – dot" thing I like to do!!! (Remember – keep those pens on their side….you will not have a problem with them clogging up)
- The sentiment was a cinch as I did it with MDS (but you could do it with Word) as I just used a font and the cut it out to mat behind the On Film Framelit….CUTE – isn't it???….so easy yet fun! Just think of how you could put many different "spot lights" in the film frame….
- Now to the fun and simple "decorations" to POP the card! The "popcorn" is from the Create A Cupcake Stamp set and then popped out with the Cupcake Builder Punch… the Itty Bitty Shapes Pack was the fun popcorn and I sponged in with daffodil delight!
- The ticket is from the That's the Ticket Stamp Set….and THIS was the TICKET…as I wouldn't have missed going tp the preview movie!
- I used Stampin' Dimensionals to "lift" this whole focal part UP from the red base! What would we do without out Stampin' Vitamins!
- The liner with the help of the envelope liners framlits was from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack….just love to boldness of the Red Red!!!
- A quick Stamp to the front of the envelope was the finishing touch! I love to jazz up the fronts of the envelopes when I can!
PRODUCT ALERT: – You know that the Create a Cupcake Stamp Set is on the discontinued list…but did you notice that the punch is still here…well…I would say we are getting a new stamp set….which is a WOOT-WOOT!!!
Well…what did you think!?!? I thought that this card created a WOW….but it was still so simple, clean and has classic lines….just like I like it!!!
I loved your comments about yesterday's post and I am thrilled that you understood where I was coming from. Sometimes it is hard to put into words….but from the emailsI received, I think that many of you are going to give sketches a try….I am very happy and proud of you!
You can email me for help….I am just so excited to see the "lightbulb" go on and see that you are excited and developing a confidence in your own style…sooooo exciting to hear!
QUICK SCOOP ON THE NEW CATALOG!!!
Naturally I cannot share with you pictures of the new catalog yet but the one thing that I walked away with is…
If you like my style of stamping…
I know you are going to LOVE the new catalog and it's offerings!
We did not get the catalog until we left the movie theatre and the whole way home, I was getting a PAGE by PAGE…look at this….OMG……look at that!!! From what I could digest (as I was driving)…it is very clean and fun…FUN is a great word to describe it…
Stampin' Up! has truly done a fabulous job with this catalog and I know that you are going to love it and I also know that I am going to LOVE to inspire YOU with some great projects!
Thanks for popping in….long day but great day…..my heart is filled with Stampin' Up! happiness and it was a fun journey to be on….I had to text the kids to say….I just experienced a 1st in probably 15 years….I went to a movie and did not fall asleep!!!! YIPPEE!!!!
Until tomorrow!
I came over to your blog early since I need to head out of the house soon. I LOVE the popcorn tub! (I’m glad to know there will be a new set to go with that punch!) Your card is so much fun! Makes me wish my computer were printer compatible!
Glad you had a good time at the premiere! I can’t wait to see the whole catalog! Just the cover I’ve seen makes me quite intrigued. In-Color sequin confetti, framelit letter dies, solid-color baker’s twine like that that was in Sale-a-Bration. I really need a job! I want it all, and I haven’t even seen it all!
Have a good day!
Cyberhugs!
Hi Sue, what a special card to receive on a special night! I was following along and it looked fantastic. So glad you had such a good time. I really can;t wait to hear and read all about it. I wonder if they are planning a video version? I can’t remember if I read that or dreamed it. Take care. Have a great day. 🙂
Love the “popcorn” tub! Such a cute idea!
What a great card! Love your subtle hints about the catalog…can’t wait to see it! Thanks, Susan!
Your card is perfect for the New Catalog Premiere. Love the popcorn bucket and the dash-dot border. Looking forward to seeing what is new. Thanks for sharing.
Love your card! And love the popcorn bucket–so clever!
Your card is the best! I love it! Is that fun or what? I never purchased the cupcake punch or the set. So, maybe there is hope for future birthday cards. I bet you all had a great time. If they do this again, you will not to drive so you can look through the catalog too! So, the question is, did you go to work today or stay home and check out the catalog and catch up on some sleep?
Your blog has really piqued my interest on this topic. Feel free to drop by my website YV6 about Airport Transfer.
