New catalogs go live

Tomorrow, January 5 is the start of our two new catalogs.  I have had so much fun playing with a bunch of the great stamps and accessories in the Spring Occasions mini and the terrific Saleabration mini.  For my Simply Stampin' Lunch Bunch last week I chose four of my favorite new bundles to feature as well as one retiring stamp set that I had yet to use, but thought would be a great addition to my stash of stamps.

For my workshops this month, I picked three groups of products to feature and made several cards from each.  Most of the samples came from Pinterest which is always my go to source for ideas.  I also copied several from my favorite two Stampin' Up! creative gurus, Julie Davison and Dawn Olchefske.  Here are pics of the three groups of cards.

 The first group of Cards are from the "It's My Party" suite on pages 4 through 7 in the Occasions mini.  I really love, love, love all of the products in this suite.  There are so many fabulous combinations and some surprises inside.  I'll share more pictures over the month including the inside of my workshop project.

The second group of cards is from the "Love Blossoms" Suite on pages 16 to 21 in the Occasions mini.  This one is perfect for Valentine's as well as anniversaries and weddings.  You will love the new Big Shot die brush for the intricate heart die.

The last group is from the Saleabration mini and features two products that are only avsilable free with purchase through February 15.  I really like the "Sky is the Limit" set as my husband is a pilot and has owned several planes over the years.  It goes so well with the "Perfectly Artistic" designer paper whiich is also a Saleabration free selection.  It also couples well with the "Going Places" suite on pages 38 and 39 of the Occasions mini.

Here is the first of the lunch bunch projects from last week.  I got my inspiration from the catalog on page 16. It features the Bloomin' Love bundle.  I changed the color to Blushing Bride instead of Crumb Cake and a few other small minor changes.  The ladies loved the project and were amazed at how easy the tiny pieces came out of the heart with the die brush.

I hope you've enjoyed a sneak peek at what's coming up this month.  If you aren't in one of my stamp clubs and would like to play with some of these products, join me for Stampaholics Anonymous this coming Sunday, January 10 at 1 PM.  In the meantime stay warm and safe.  Hugs, Sherron
