OnStage 2017 Swaps: Cool Treats

I have to say when I saw that Cool Treats was carrying over from the 2017 Occasions Catalog to the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog, I was very excited!  I really think this is a great all occasions set.  It’s perfect for a little pick

2017 – 2018 Product Spotlight: Delightful Daisy Suite

2017 – 2018 Product Spotlight: Delightful Daisy Suite

IMG_20170419_163822

One of the things we do while we are at any Stampin’ Up! event is to have hands on time with new product.  This allows us the opportunity to learn about the features and benefits of the product.

One of the new product suites being introduced in the 2017 – 2018 annual catalog is the Daisy Delight Suite.  I just love the Faceted Gems and 1/4′ Double-Stitched Ribbon.  I wish you could see more of it in the card.  But, I love how it just adds a great little accent to the card.

After I stamped the daisy image on Whisper White Cardstock I punched two of them out with the Daisy Punch.  I offset them and adheared them with Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed a Clear Faceted Gem in the center.  Lastly, I curled the top layer of the daisy just to give it a bit of dimension.

It’s just a bit longer before you can order this suite – we have to wait until June 1st.

OnStage 2017 Swap: Beautiful You

OnStage 2017 Swap: Beautiful You

One of the best parts of any Stampin’ Up! event is to swap cards with other talented Demonstrators.  I have hundreds of swaps to go through and share.  My goal is to share each and every one of them – which now that I say that – it sounds like a very big undertaking.

Today I’d like to highlight a few cards made from the Beautiful You stamp set.  Good news that set will continued to be featured in the 2017-2018 annual catalog which you can shop from beginning June 1, 2017.
