I’m back with another look at the new annual catalog from Stampin’ Up. If you missed my first post click here to check it out and my second post is here. Inside the catalog you’ll find lots and lots of clear and rubber mounted stamp sets, many with coordinating dies, pattern paper collections, all inclusive card making kits, embellishments, ribbons, new “In” colors in cardstock, ink pads, ribbon and loads more.
There are themes for birthdays, wedding, babies, outdoors, crafting, holidays, pets, florals, sentiments and more. If you love the ease of coordinating items the product “Suites” have things like stamps, papers, embossing folders, dies, embellishments, trinkets, and ribbons that all work wonderfully together (or on their own). The card kits are All Inclusive and include everything you need to make 15-20 beautiful matching card sets. Another product line is the new Storage line, with sturdy white plastic stackable trays with silicone feet to hold ink pads, 2 styles of markers, along with open cubes and lids so you can arrange them to fit your own crafting space.
For my first card (shown above) I used the Free as a Bird stamp set. This lovely set has birds, flowers and wonderful sentiments to create pretty Thank You and Friendship cards. I used the Stampin’ Up Watercolor Pencils to color my images, the Stitched Oval Dies to cut my ovals and paper from the 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Papers for the background.
For my next card I combined the new Check You Out stamps with the Nine Lives stamps and Cat Punch to make a card to welcome someone to a new home. Nothing says home to me more than books and cats!
Lastly I made this card using the Dino Days stamps and Dies. It’s fun for creating a Jurassic scene card and is perfect for kids (or adults) who love Dinosaurs. I used different colors of green and brown Classic Stampin’ Ink Pads for each Dino, die cutting them with the co-ordinating dies.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this look at some of the new products available in the Stampin’ Up annual catalog. You can order now from your Stampin’ Up demonstrator (click here to find one near you) or directly from them online.
