Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Well, here we are. We're a full day and half into June - the prettiest month of the year, and not just because it's my birthday month . . . LOL. We've had 24 hours with the new Annual Catalog, a fun Catalog Premier event last evening, and I'm finally starting to find a few moments to play with some new product - I'm so excited!!!! And tomorrow is my Annual Studio Clean Out Sale -- and there is a lot to do yet before then!!
In the meantime . . . it's time to play with the Mojo Monday [MOJO499] crew, and I'm showcasing a brand new bundle today that I discovered some really fun stuff about this morning, and this is going to be fun, fun, fun!! Let's play 😉
Today we're playing with new In Color -- mmmmm, yummy! And you'll notice I slipped in one recently retired color (oh, I'm missing my Tip Top Taupe already!!). In a moment, you'll see why
As you can see, this week's Mojo Monday sketch focuses on a "square" card. This is a specialty shape -
I like to create a 5" x 5" card, and that means cutting your cardstock base (Thick Whisper White), at 5" x 10", and scoring at 5".
You'll need a special envelope for this card -- so pull out that Envelope Punch Board for sure!!
My product focus today is on the Lovely Friends / Lovely Laurel Thinlets Bundle.
How many of you have already purchased this bundle ?? Raise your hands 😉
Now there are some special tricks to these thinlets, and I'll do a "how to" video next week to show you the in's and out's of this beautiful set of dies.
The end result is spectacular - wouldn't you agree?
I also used our new Pretty Label Punch today to finish off the sketch.
See the pretty Fresh Florals DSP peeking through from the background in Lemon Lime Twist?
I cut the background square with the Layering Square and Stitched Shapes Framelits.
What I love in this card chock full of new product is the wonderful and easy background created with the new Wood Textures DSP Stack.
Now, earlier I alluded to the retired Tip Top Taupe which I used to mat the background piece.
Thing is, it was a perfect match to this beautiful paper - so grrrrrr already! We shouldn't have retired the Tip Top Taupe -- LOL
The piece is finished off with the sweet new Glitter Enamel Dots - so pretty!!
The different layers are popped with dimensionals to give this card lots of dimension and texture.
Wondering how I "popped" that intricate leaf laurel -- ahhhh, be sure you've noted the brand new Mini Stampin' Dimensionals!!! Ooooooooo - we've only ever had these in Paper Pumpkin kits, so how fabulous that we can now order these on a regular basis!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!
I did spend some time putting this card together, but it was worth it. And I'm LOVING all our new toys. Be sure to check out all the new products - and don't forget that during the month of June you earn extra "host rewards" with a minimum order:
As I said earlier, tomorrow is my BIG Annual Studio Clean Out Sale. Be sure to swing by if you are in the Denver Metropolitan area; or even if you want to drive up from Colorado Springs or Fort Collins. LOL
And if you live outside the area, don't worry . . . I'll start posting up what's left after the sale on my blog here for online purchase later this weekend. Be sure to keep an eye on my Sale Tab so you can snag the goodies too. I will be multi-posting, so items will go fast once they go online.
Well, I'm off to the dentist - ughhh!! Talk to you all soon!
Until Next Time . . .
