Spring Catalog!

Good day Crafty people!

 There have been so many anouncements from Stampin' Up! of new promotions that I am having trouble keeping up lol! 

Here is one of the new promotions!

Best of 25 Years Stamps

As part of our 25-year anniversary celebration, we’re bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 sets, which will release—one set per month—during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image!

 

Check back here every month  for a new Best of stamp set!

 

Some things to remember:

1. •All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $17.95
2. •While we are releasing just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month), all of the Best of sets will be available until March 31, 2014.
3. •A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set.
4. •All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only 

As a special incentive to collect the Best of stamps, starting in February we’re including a collector’s card and 25-year proof of purchase sticker with every Best of set. Collect six stickers, and send it in to redeem a FREE set of your choice valued up to $17.95! Free sets must be redeemed no later than April 30, 2014.

Here is the link to see the new set!

 

So stay tuned for more information on this one folks!

 

And here's one for the men in your life! 

 

 We're excited to introduce our new, very manly stamping kit: the Dude, You're Welcome! kit.

Guys don't always have the easiest time expressing themselves, but with the Dude, You're Welcome! kit, they'll have
•Four wood-mount stamps (double-mounted) with the perfect sentiment for every occasion
•Twelve 4" x 6" postcards in four different (manly) colors
•Twelve gray envelopes
•A Basic Gray Classic Stampin' Pad
•An instructional guide (for the most novice stamper!)

Basically, the kit includes everything a dude needs to create the perfect manly card that any woman would adore, all packaged in an appropriately masculine box.

132807 Dude, You're Welcome! Kit  $30.95

 

I will let you know about the last one tomorrow.  I think that's enough reading for one post! 

 

And now on to the fun part of my blog - the picture of a new card!

 

 I have been playing with some of the wonderful new products from the just released Spring Mini.

I purchased the new flowers trim ribbon and I have to say it is fabulous.  There are so many flowers on this trim and they come in a soft vanilla and you can color them.  Yes you can!  So matching them to what every color you are working with is a dream.

I have a card done using the Flower Trim and also the Paper Doilies!  I did however use a retired greeting.  My Bad!

Here you go -

 

Don't ya just love it!  I used Whisper White for my card base and Pretty in Pink for the insert after it had gone throught the Big Shot with Elegant Lines embossing folder. 

I added a paper doily to the front and then Punched out a circle of Whisper White card stock .

 

I added my greeting and  used Early Espresso and Regal Rose markers to get the greeting  I colored the flowers with my color spritzers and re-inkers.  The one in the middle got two sprays of color which made it a little darker than the others. 

 

Wow what a soft and pretty card.  Would make a lovely valentine wouldn't it?
