Dressy!

I have so  fallen in love with the dress form framelit from the Occasions Mini Catalog recently! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it makes it to the new catalog.

My friend Patty Snyder had a few of us over one night last week to share her dress framelit. It is so cute and the possibilities are endless. The one thing we all noticed is that it made the boring paper scraps look better. You know the pieces that you never use and aren't that inspiring?! Check out the samples we made:

Anna Nofsinger made two for each of us. 
She always amazes me with how she is always so organized and prepared


This was the sample I made--I had wanted to use newsprint for the curvy background piece behind the dress, but I forgot. I am not as prepared and organized as Anna :-)  But I do love the red/white combo!


This over the top card was designed by Christina Thornton--she always amazes me with her attention to detail. Oooh la!la!

Patty premade her sample for us--gotta get me some of these paper doilies. What a great detail! The dsp is from SAB, but I got extra as I loved it so much!!

ooooh love the boxes



Oh baby--so excited to see this announcement on the website this morning...Stampin' Up! is coming out with the coolest wood-mount cases in the new catalog. Many other uses, too.  Check out this video and don't miss the first stamp set. It must be a sneak peek from the new annual catalog. New annual catalog starts May 31.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHa28HcVSJU  This SHORT video shows a few of the things you can do with them. So excited as they will look so cool on my new shelves in my stamp room!!


Straight off the SU! website:


Introducing our new wood-mount stamp set packaging! These new cases are similar to our clear-mount boxes and fit perfectly on the shelf right next to them. They also have the images and stamp set name on the spine to make your search for the right set even easier.
Starting May 31 all wood-mount sets will come in this new packaging. Empty cases will be available with the launch of the new catalog. That means you can transfer all your old sets to these new boxes! There will even be a template for you to create your own label for your old stamp sets (available May 31). A pack of four half-size cases (3-3/4" x 5-1/2") will sell for $4.95 and a pack of four full-size cases (7-1/2" x 5-1/2") will be $6.95.
Get ready for all the exciting new products in the catalog--especially the new wood-mount boxes!
