It’s that time of year again, the New Catalog is here!
The new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog will be live today at 12noon MT, which means at 2:00pm here on the east coast you can start placing your orders. I know you cannot wait to see everything the new catalog has in store. It’s Stampin’ Up!’s 30th anniversary and it shows in all the beautiful new products. One of the most anticipated products is the Stamparatus. If you were not able to get it during the pre-order a few months ago, you can order it now. Here is a brief video from Stampin’ Up! with more information about the Stamparatus:
You Can Now Get the Stamparatus
In addition, I want to share with you a sample card below that was created using the Stamparatus. This great tool is a much needed addition to my craft room, and I’m sure you will think so too. What a pleasant experience to stamp with such precision. As a result, you will be able to take you stamping to the next level. Since you control where you place the stamps, you can also control the pressure used to stamp the image. There is a rubber mat to use with Photopolymer stamps as well.
Notice the greeting in the bottom corner stamped on each side. What I like most of all is the ability to line up all my stamps on the cardstock. Whether it’s inside the card or outside the card, having everything line up gives the card a crisp look. The design of the Stamparatus allows you to use any size cardstock. This makes it possible to use it with scrapbooking as well as card making.
Grab your favorite coffee or tea and sink into your favorite chair while you explore all the wonderful new products. Let me know if I can be of any assistance as you create that wish list.
I have some great Swap Samples from our group meeting in May. We had a team swap for the Luv2 Stampin GA group meeting. I hope you enjoy some of the swaps as we really had a great time and love to exchange our swap samples. We used a variety of products on the samples and had a lot of fun with them.
There are a lot of flowers and I think they make for some beautiful Spring cards. You will also find a handful of special occasion cards listed. I am always happy to have a good selection on cards in a swap.
I hope you enjoyed the array of beautiful cards. The ideas and inspiration in my group is truly remarkable. Our projects really come to live with the vibrant colors and products. The samples were very motivational and uplifting.
Are you familiar with My Paper Pumpkin? It’s Stampin’ Up!’s monthly stamping subscription. In addition to sending the kits, each month Stampin’ Up! releases a video showcasing the latest My Paper Pumpkin kit. In the month of May, subscribers received their new kit focusing on Father’s Day and all the men in our lives. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes find it difficult to create a masculine card because it’s always so easy to “pretty” things up. Stampin’ Up! makes it easier to create what we want with these monthly kits. Each kit is customized to the time of year or occasion of the month. Most of all, when you receive the kit, you have all you need to create a handful of beautiful projects to share with you family and friends. So while you think about it, take a look at what subscribers received in May:
New to the hobby? Not sure if you can create the projects? That is not a problem. Stampin’ Up! provides step by step instructions and all the products to create the project. It’s a great way to get started on the road to paper crafting. More seasoned stampers don’t have to worry either, you can continue to grow your craft supplies and maybe take a step out of the box and create some alternate projects with the same products.
