Trendy Trees New In Color Sneak Peek

I couldn't help myself.  I had to break open my new 2009-2010 In Colors and create a "sneak peek" for you!  I am so excited about the new In Colors.  First of all they are beautiful!  And...they will be available in a set of Stampin' Write Markers!  And...they will be available in some gorgeous reversible grosgrain ribbon (one side is polka dot and the other is plain).  They will be available on July 1.  If you are going to need a new catalog, email me to make arrangements.

My card follows the Stamps and Smiles sketch for the week.  Some more great news...I won the Goody Bag for participating in last week's sketch!  How exciting is that?  I'm excited to see what all will be in the Goody Bag.  I'll be sure to make a project right away and share it here.

 

Do I hear an "ooooooooh"??  Pretty colors, huh?  I used Crushed Curry (yellow), Soft Suede (brown) and Rich Razzleberry (purple).  It's not really noticeable in my photo (sorry, not the best photo I know), but I used the Big Shot and the Small Dot Texture Plate on the Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry card stock.  I thought those embossed dots went well with the Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain.

My Trendy Trees are stamped in the same colors.  To line them up, I used the Stampa-a-ma-Jig.  Then I cut my circle with the Circle Scissors Plus.  I cut a Crushed Curry circle 1/4" bigger.  I added white dots to that layer with the uniball Signo Gel Pen.

Do you like the ribbon?  If you want to get a "taste" of all the new ribbon, you can sign up for my Ribbon Share.  I am also offering a new Designer Series Paper share and Button Share.  My newsletter customers are going to get first dibs on signing up (with a little special for the first ones to do so) so if you are not on my email list, be sure to sign up today!  Just go to the upper left corner and add your email address.

Echoes of Kindness and Pierced Spotlighting

Have you had a chance to stamp today?  I hope so!  I had some cleaning up to do in my stamp room first (how DOES it get so messy??) and then I did some stamping.  I decided to try one of the techniques, Pierced Spotlighting, that was in the latest Technique Junkies Newsletter.

We will use this technique at March's Stamp Camp.  All of the information for Stamp Camp will be posted on Tuesday.  I'm changing it up a little bit so you'll want to make sure you read all about it.  Club Members, this will be your technique card.  Not a club member?  You have until March 15 to join this club (you don't have to be local to join my club and you'll still receive the technique card).

 

I LOVE this hostess set, Echoes of Kindness.  Isn't this flower pretty?  And, since it's line art, it works well with the Pierced Spotlighting.  This set can be yours FREE with a $300 party.  Don't live near me?  That's OK, you can do a catalog party and still get this stamp set FREE!  Email me for all the details!

The Designer Series Paper is from Tea Party.  If you haven't signed up for my Designer Series Paper Share yet, go do it now!  Today is the last day to join the share.  It's also the last day to sign up for my Ribbon Share and for the So Tweet Chipboard Calendar.  Don't miss out!

I have a big announcement tomorrow and it will post first thing in the morning.  Be sure to check back to see what Stampin' Up! is up to!!

Thanks for the visit!

Bloggers' Challenge Inspiration

Happy Friday and Blogger's Challenge!  Today's theme is an inspiration piece.  What I love about the inspiration challenges is that the possibilities are really endless.  When you look at the inspiration piece, what do you see?  I saw the damask pattern and silk.  Those are the two elements I focused on.

Here's the inspiration piece...

 

Here's my card...

 

I think the Parisian Breeze DSP is the perfect match as far as the damask pattern goes.  And then I added a little of the Valet Ribbon Originals to the corners to add a touch of silk.

So when you look at an inspiration piece, don't think of colors only.  Your inspiration can be anything!  Do you want to play along?  Just a leave a comment with a link to your card and I'll be sure to check it out!

If you want to try the Parisian Breeze DSP or the Valet Ribbon Originals, be sure to check out my product share here.

Thanks for the visit!!

Glittery Thoughts and Prayers

Here's another Stamp Camp project.  This card was my favorite.  I love Chocolate Chip and Baja Breeze together.  Add some glitter, fabulous ribbon and beautiful designer paper and you get a gorgeous card (OK, I'll stop the gushing over my own card).

 

But, really, isn't it pretty?  You can see the glitter which is the Fine Supernova Glitter.  It's brand new in this catalog and comes in a pack of 5 beautiful colors.  We stamped the tree in Versamark and added Heat and Stick Powder.  Once we heated it, we added the glitter and heated again.

The designer paper is the new Parisian Breeze.  It is a heavier weight and has texture--just fabulous!  If you want to try some of the new DSP before commiting to purchasing it all, sign up for my Designer Series Paper Share.

The ribbon is Baja Breeze from the new Valet.  You will LOVE this ribbon!  The other two designs that come in this pack are just as pretty.  And, if you want to try some of the new ribbon, check out my Ribbon Share.

If want to participate in the shares, you have to sign up by February 28.
