New Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Posted on June 28, 2010 by Carol Payne

The boxes of new catalogs are here! Come to my New Catalog Open House & Ice Cream Sundae Buffet this Thursday, July 1st, from 5-8 p.m. to pick up your copy!

I just received a New Catalog Pre-order swap that I'm in every month! I LOVE to have all these great new samples to share! Here are a few from the swap:

Apple Blossoms Level 2 Hostess by Kelly Acheson also uses Bitty Buttons and the new Scallop Rectangle Clearlit!

Another Playful Pieces Level 3 Hostess with the Scallop Rectangle Clearlit, this time by Karen Kurz. I actually thought at first she had used Trendy Trees, but it's Playful Pieces!!! Cool! Definitely a set worth having a $500 party to get!

This is just the first 8 of my 20 swaps, but I'll be back tomorrow with more!

Until tomorrow, have a GREAT STAMPINROX! DAY!

New stamps to play with!

Demonstrators get to pre-order specific items from the New Catalog (just another GREAT perk of being a SU! demo!). This is the one time of the year when they give us the opportunity to purchase Level 2 and Level 3 Hostess Sets, something we only get to do before the new BIG catalog starts! This card is my first creation with a fun new Level 2 Hostess Set called "Apple Blossoms"! This set has 8 very versatile stamps, 4 of which are used here. You can earn this set for FREE with a party of just $300 in sales! I'm filling my calendar for July, August, and September right now, so contact me and we can make this card at your party if you so choose AND you could get this set for free too!

Almost everything on this card is brand-new to the new catalog (with the exception of the Whisper White rectangle I stamped the flowers on!):

Early Espresso cardstock base stamped with Early Espresso ink

Greenhouse Gala Designer Series Paper (LOVE this paper, I will be using it ALOT in the next few months!)

Early Espresso 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon

Pear Pizazz cardstock mat around the Greenhouse Gala DSP.

Cajun Craze cardstock mat around the stamped "just a little note" focal piece.

The flowers are stamped in Daffodil Delight & Cajun Craze ink.

The circles behind the flowers are stamped in the new "Crumb Cake"! (interesting tidbit abut Crumb Cake – it formerly was called Kraft and only came in cardstock, but with the Color Renovation we can get "Crumb Cake" in cardstock, inkpad, marker, ribbon, etc!)

"just a little note" is stamped in Early Espresso ink.

We will be making this card at my "Yes Ma'am's" monthly downline meeting tomorrow night! We try to get together every month to stamp, share ideas, and support each other!

There's just a few more days left to sign up with the $99 Mini Starter Kit! Contact me if you would like to join the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator family! It's a fun way to make extra money for whatever dream or goal you may have! I've been able to take my a family member with me on SIX all-expenses-paid trips courtesy of Stampin' Up!, something I would have NEVER been able to do otherwise! With the new catalog getting ready to start on July 1st, it's a great time to start with Stampin' Up!

I have a stamping-packed weekend ahead of me with three parties and a downline meeting, so I will see you all again on Monday with more NEW stuff!

Until Monday, have a GREAT Stampin' Rox! weekend!
