The new catalog goes live today!!! Here is a sample card from World Treasures in the 2012 – 2013 Stampin' Up! catalog:
This is the first card I made with a stamp set from the new catalog. I have a stack of new stamp sets sitting right next to me. I love looking at them and deciding which one to play with next. (One of the benefits of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is getting to order stamp sets early!)
It is also one of the three cards guests are making at my Open House today and tomorrow. I love these stylized flowers from the World Treasures stamp set (p. 98 #126765w $23.95 #126767c $17.95) I made a short video showing how to make this card.
I used the new Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper and Pool Party and Crumb Cake card stock. Notice that the leaves are inked in crumb cake instead of the usual green. I think that gives the card a fun, modern look.
For the background I used the Top Not Die with the Stampin' Up! Big Shot. I ran the white and the patterned paper through the Big Shot at the same time. Then I cut the patterned paper in half and put one of the halves on the white cut out. In this color combination, the card looks quite classy, I think. You could do the same card with brightly colored flowers, colored brads, and brightly patterned designer series paper and you would get a totally different feeling with that card. That is one reason stamping is so much fun!
I hope you enjoyed this sample of World Treasures in the 2012 – 2013 Stampin' Up! catalog! I have lots of cards and new ideas to share with you in the coming days. Do you have the new catalog yet?
