Catalog Transition Day.....and some inspiration!

Today is what Stampin' Up! is calling catalog transition day.  What does that mean for you?  Well, it means that you can order today from both the 2014-2015 AND the 2015-2016 Catalogs as well as the Occasions Catalog and order My Digital Studio downloads (still at 30% off) today, June 2nd!

Starting tomorow, June 3rd you can continue to order from the brand new 2015-2016 Catalog.

I'll admit I've been a bit of a slacker when it comes to my stamping and I'm working to amend that.  Here are a couple of recent projects to inspire you.

This adorable gift bag was made using the beautiful Painted Blooms designer series paper.  It's from the Occasions Catalog, and soon to be gone for good.  The ribbon used on the handles is the Blackberry Bliss 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, also on the retiring list.

It's made using the new Gift Bag Punch Board from the new 2015-2016 Catalog!  I found this punch board to be a little more tricky (you just have to go slow), but I love the results.  For this bag, I used a full 12" x 12" piece of designer series paper.  You are limited to the width of the bag, but the height can be as tall as your paper (you just have to use the Simply Scored tool or paper trimmer w/scoring blade to score beyond the punch boards dimensions).

I see lots of gift bags in my future!

This next project is one I made for my swap card at a demonstrator meeting I attended last night.  It uses the new stamp set, Sprinkles of Life, the latest Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set.  The new paper stack used, Cherry on Top designer series paper stack, is bright and cheery and goes so well with this stamp set.

I think you are going to love so many of the new products in this catalog!  If you are my customer, or don't have a demonstrator and would like a copy for yourself, just let me know.  I'd love to share the joy of rubber stamping with you.
