New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 9

One of these cards are in MY colors!!  YAY Bermuda Bay! and the other is completely in the new colors.

This card features 3 stamp sets.  Build-a Birthday, Crazy About You, and Perpetual Birthday Calendar.
With the exception of the "happy" die cut, this card is only stamping, with a few Wink of Stella accents.

This card features the new colors, and Washi Tape!   Instead of stamping the cake layers, I used the Washi Tape. 
I hope you like them both.

New Catalog (2016-2017) Event Samples 6

HOW many samples posts is this person posting!?!?!  You've got to be asking yourself that by now.....
Well, I knew we had this event coming today, and school let out early this year because we didn't have any snow days, so you might have 15 or 18 posts in total with everything I've made so far, and I still haven't even made my Make and Takes at this point because I still need to order those items!  (I'm writing this post on May 31st).  I've also had coffee this morning... and I'm quite awake!!

So far I've been working with the new colors I could pre-order, and my "old" stamps that are still in the catalog to show all the different options.  Just think.... These are just MY samples!  There are two other demonstrators at this event!!!!!  There will be samples galore!

So these two cards are a mix of the "old" colors and the second card shows the "new" in-colors we have to work with until 2018.  I'm thrilled, because I really LOVE them!

 I've struggled with this stamp set.  I LOVE it, but struggle with it.  I finally found a similar idea on Pinterest I was able to make work.

Don't get me wrong- I've acutally used this stamp set and punch many, MANY times!  I use it for school - it works great for combinations!  It's a problem-solving strategy the kids need to know how to use well.

Here is the card - again amplified! I added one more scoop of ice cream, a black mat, and Washi tape.  I changed out some of the colors as well.

A TIP:  Use the Stampin' Up! Grid paper to help line up the Washi Tape to keep it straight.  LOVE that Grid Paper!

If you'd like to make these cards or any of the other projects I've showed here on the blog, contact me.  I'd love to be your Stampin' Up Demonstrator!

The products I used:

New Catalog (2016 - 2017) Event Samples 4

Here are two more cards I made showing the same basic stamping technique, with one relatively plain card, and the other amplified to show more detail.

Both cards use only the new color Emerald Envy.
Now anyone who knows me very well knows how I've always hated the color green.... over the years as I've been crafting and stamping (since 2008) I've come to grudgingly realize that I need green in my crafting.  Grass, leaves, accent color....  you just need to use green.

Well, when I saw our preview of the new colors, I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with the new color Emerald Envy.  LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
You should have seen the shock on my mother's face when I told her how much I love this color! 

 The first card is stamped at the top, and not reinked, but stamped below to cascade the colors. 
This amplified version just adds two details the first card after I tore the stamped piece.  I added Washi Tape, and a banner die cut with a Happy Birthday from a different stamp set.

Same card, two completely different looks.
