Stamp Off Up & Away Thinlits

Welcome to our 2017 edition of Stamp Off Challenges

with Susan, Buffy and Jackie.  I think it's going to be

a great stampin year!

Today we are doing a LOVELY color challenge.

These 3 colors are totally in my wheel house, as they

blend so well, given a hint of gray.

 For this challenge, I had to pull out my Lift Me Up stamp set

with coordinating Up & Away Thinlits (bundled, you save 10%).

That balloon is so much fun when you need to show off

a beautiful color combination.  This was the first bundle

I purchased from the new Occasions catalog, because it

has so much potential in terms of techniques, color coordination,

and flexibility for different stamping and scrapping needs.

It is a bundle that will fill your needs, whether you are

a vintage or CAS stamper.

The textured impressions embossing folder on the Perfect Plumb

layer is Seaside, on page 195.  I find this Embossing folder

to be one that I pick up constantly, because it does such

a nice job of simulating wind, waves or air currents.

It is just what a beautiful balloon requires. 

Now please head on over to see the lovely projects

 offered by my friends Susan and Buffy.

2017 Occasions and SAB Catalogs!!

Yippeeeeeeeeeeee Skippeeeeeeeeee

It's a new Occasions Catalog!

 

Hey, Chick SAB with Watercolor Pencils!!

Welcome 2017 and the new Occasions and SAB catalogs!

 For the next couple weeks, you'll see samples and videos

of new products.  Or, you can click on over to the 

Stampin' Up YouTube channel and check them out 

for yourself! SU has a huge selection of videos,

showing techniques and samples of the new products.

 

Since SAB starts today, I thought that I'd share a sample

of my fav SAB set,  Hey, Chick, on page 16.  This is such a

smart, sarcastic, cute set, that it was at the top of my list.

The other reason I wanted it, was because I could color it

with the NEW SU WATERCOLOR PENCILS!!

 

Here is a video to check out, introducing these

cool new coloring tools!!

 

 

SAB Inside the Lines DSP

Stampin' Up! is starting the new year with new Occasions

and SAB catalogs.   This card is made using the FREE

(with $50 merchandise purchase)

SAB Inside The Lines Designer Series Paper.

It is black and white paper for coloring!  In this example,

I colored it with the new SU Watercolor Pencils.  They

are found on page 24 of the Occasions catalog, but very

easy to miss as you are paging through.  They are

wonderful pencils, that are soft and easy to blend with

your aqua painter, blender pen or Wink of Stella.

Stamp Off Hot Dog Tee Shirt

We are about to close 2016 with our final Stamp Off Challenge.

Buffy, Susan and I all look forward to continuing our

challenges in 2017, so we hope that you have a

safe New Year and return to check out our
Stamp Off Challenges each Friday.

 Our challenge today is to ring in the new year!

Given that we have new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration (SAB)

catalogs that kick off January 4th, we are featuring these

products!   Another words, New Year, NEW Rubbah!

 Soooo, I had a difficult time deciding which products to show
off, but the Custom Tee set with coordinating T-shirt Builder
Framelits Dies (on page 30 of the Occasions Catalog) won
out.  My favorite thing about these t-shirts is that you can
stamp ANYTHING on the front.  That makes it an ideal
bundle for creating very personalized cards, especially
for those challenging men in your life.

In this example, I used images from the Tasty Trucks
SAB set on page 12.  How often do you wish you
could imply that someone is a "Hot Dog"??!!  
I have several nephews that this could be sent to.  
Thanks to the t-shirt, I could
 mix and match to come up with this fun sentiment.

Now, please click on over to see what new products
Susan and Buffy are proudly showing off!!

Sunshine Wishes Negative

The Sunshine Wishes Thinlits on page 194 are delightful

and easy to create with.  There are technique options for 

this product, including use of the positive or negative pieces.

It's also kind of entertaining to play with the
"puzzle pieces" to decide what you can create.
