SUDSOL New Catalog Blog Tour!!!!

Hi everyone!  Welcome to our SUDSOL (Stampin'Up! Demonstrators Sharing OnLine) New Catalog Blog Tour.  If you're a Stampin'Up! Demonstrator and would like to learn more about SUDSOL or get a free trial, click on the link to the right of my blog to check it out.

Today I'm showcasing some of our new stamp sets and products.  When I first saw this Boys Will Be Boys stamp set, this is the card I pictured in my mind.  I love how the Gorgeous Grunge set makes a cammo background with only 2 colors of ink and the image lets me color a bit with our new Blendabilities Markers - woohoo!!!

I used the Old Olive and Skin Tone Assortment for my parachute army guy.

The Lovely As A Tree set is an oldie, but a goody. Those tree tops give it just the right umph!

Supplies used:
Boys Will Be Boys, Gorgeous Grunge & Lovely As A Tree stamp sets
Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso & Whisper White  card stock
Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso & Memento Ink
Mossy Meadow 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Old Olive & Skin Tone Assortment Blendabilities

My next card uses the Kinda Eclectic stamp set.  This one struck me as Art Deco, so I used silver and black for my color theme (I'm not really a gold girl, but it would look striking in gold and black too).  Kinda Eclectic is one of my favorite top 10 new stamp sets.

The dots on the bottom of the card were inked in Basic Gray and stamped off once for that silver tone.  I also used Silver EP for the starburst and butterfly.

The tag piece uses the Scallop Tag Topper Punch with the White CS cuts at 3-5/8" x 1-1/8" and the Black CS cut at 3-3/4" x 1-1/4" and both ends centered in the punch for a smaller, layered tag.  

I just added a bit of Black StazOn ink on the pearls for a little more pop.  

Supplies used:

Kinda Eclectic stamp set

Basic Black, Whisper White card stock and Silver Foil Sheets

VersaMark, Basic Gray & Black StazOn ink, Pearl Basic Jewels

Scallop Tag Topper Punch, Elegant Butterfly Punch, 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Silver EP & Heat Tool

My 3rd project is a CASE of my card just above this.  I just wanted to show how you can take almost the same card, change out the colors and move it around a bit and get a whole new look.

This card using the same CS measurements, but different colors and a bit of a change in the layout.  

I used both butterfly images in the stamp set for this one.  

Supplies used:
Kinda Eclectic stamp set
Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray & Whisper White card stock
Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight ink, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon, Pearl Basic Jewels
Elegant Butterfly Punch, Bitty Butterfly Punch

I wanted to share a couple cards with you that we made this spring using the Kinda Eclectic stamp set - one of my favorites.  The aim was to use one stamp set, one set of colors and make different cards.  I went with Kinda Eclectic and the colors Crushed Curry, Old Olive & Tangelo Twist.  I also used the Elegant Butterfly Punch and Bitty Butterfly Punch.

Pertpetual Birthday Calendar!

I had planned to get these posted last week, but I ended up with 7 classes this week, so time just got away from me and I didn't get as much posted this week as I could.  My favorite kit in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Kit.  It comes with pre-printed numbered pages for each month, letter stickers, die-cut pieces, ribbon, embellishments, and more.  There is also a coordinating stamp set (I'll show that below).  I thought this would be a great kit for a class (and so did a lot more Demonstrators as they're now on back order - more below).  I did not use the coordinating set because I was lucky to have another set with the months and of course, tons of other stamps.   Just a note on the kits, because I know you're going to want one too - Due to the high demand, they sold out and were on back order.  Due to the dock worker negotiations in CA and Chinese New Year, they have not yet been replenished.  Because of this, the item number is currently turned off until we are guaranteed a shipment.  I will post here when they become available again.

I'll put the stamp set, colors used and anything else that was added outside of the kit.  I used the Project Life Day to Day stamp set for the months on the entire calendar.
