Sneak Peak

(See end of post for supplies *)

January 5th is a big day in two ways!!  New Product featured in the Occassions Mini Catalog will be available for purchase AND our Sale-a-Bration Promotion STARTS!  I'll tell you more about the promotion later but for today, I want to give you a sneak peak of the new style punches that we will be carrying.

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

A few features of the new punch style:

• Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
• Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
• Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
• Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
• New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
  • Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog
• Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
• larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
• Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color 

* SUPPLIES: 

Stamp Set:  Well Scripted (available 1/5/10) and Fine Flourish (Under $10 Collection coming soon)

Card Stock:  Soft Suede, Whisper White, Crushed Curry

Ink: Soft Suede Classic ink

Misc:  TWO-STEP BIRD PUNCH (Amazing!!), Soft Suede Polka Dot Ribbon, Circle punch

Check back tomorrow to see two more samples using the same card sketch but with different product for an entirely new look.

Scallop Envelope Sewing Surprise

At the Stampers Club Christmas Party, I received this Scallop Envelope Sewing Kit in the gift exchange from Vickie Liske.  On the back is a tag that says "You are SEW Special"!  Isn't that so cute??
 

Holy Triptych

 

I love the Holy Triptych stamp set.  The Dazzling Diamonds glitter gave this Christmas card just the right amount of 'dazzle".  It's hard to see in the photo but the center of the starbursts are also covered with Crystal Effects.

Stamp set:  Holy Triptych

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum

Ink:  Elegant Eggplant

Misc:  Dazzling Diamonds, Two Way Glitter and Crystal Effects

Here's another Christmas card using a different stamp from the Holy Triptych stamp set.  I love the simple elegance of this card and how easy it was to create.

Stamp Set:  Holy Triptych

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Gold Metallic, Night of Navy

Ink:  Versamark

Misc:  Gold Embossing Powder, Gold Brads, Night of Navy grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals
