New Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog

Out With the Old, In With the New

Stampin' Up! recently released a brand new Annual catalog and there is so much to share with you.  First of all, there is a color revamp.  Many of our colors have retired.  But don't worry, they have been replaced with a wide variety of fabulous new colors.  My all time favorite, Coastal Cabana, has returned, along with Mossy Meadow, Poppy Parade, Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron.  And there are also 11 brand new colors that were added to the color groups for this catalog.  It's truly an exciting time in the stamping world.

Today I would like to share with you a card that features a new stamp set, new paper and a brand new ink color.  What do you think?  Do you like the dainty look of the laser cut paper?  Or the fresh look of the new lavender, Highland Heather?   The new purples are perfect!!! 

The new Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper is beautiful, and I know we are going to be able to make so many great cards with it.  This specialty paper is white on one side and vanilla on the back side. Each 12x12 piece is filled with flowers that you can cut out individually or use on the front of a card, stencils that can be used for card fronts or as stencils to create designs on cardstock, and lastly, banners.  I know you're going to love it as much as I do.

Here's what I used to create this card:

• Detailed With Love Stamp Set (item #146606)
• Highland Heather Cardstock (item #146986)
• Highland Heather Ink (item #147103)
• Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut  Specialty Paper (item #146907)
• Basic Pearl Jewels (item #144219)
• Layering Oval framelits (item #141706)
• fine tip glue pen (item #138309)
• Assorted markers or stampin' blends markers for coloring flowers

Here's how I created the card:

• Cut highland heather cardstock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Score at 4 1/4" and fold in half.
• Cut out the stencil of your choice using a paper trimmer
• Attach the stencil piece to the front of the card using the fine tip glue pen
• Cut a piece of Highland Heather cardstock to 1" x 3 1/2" and attach to the front of the card as shown
• Stamp the image, using Highland Heather ink, from the Detailed With Love Stamp Set and cut out using the laying oval framelits.  Cut a coordinating scalloped oval with the highland heather cardstock
• Attach the stamped image to the top of the scalloped piece and attach to the front of the card using dimensionals
• Cut several flowers and leaves from the large sheet of flowers.  Color them with the markers or blends markers.  Attach the flowers to the front of the card as shown.  Attach one of the flowers using a dimensional. 
• Add basic pearl jewels to several of the flowers.
