Upcoming Catalogue Changes

Stampin' Up! has announced some exciting changes to our catalogues. Instead of an Annual Catalogue and multiple mini catalogues, there will be three catalogues per year: January–April, May–August, and September–December. Each of these seasonal catalogues will introduce new products, but will also include core products such as basic tools and adhesives, colour products, essential punches and dies, basic embellishments, and envelopes. Without having to juggle overlapping catalogues, it'll be much easier to shop! Online Exclusive product releases will continue every other month.

Watch this space for more details about the upcoming May–August Catalogue, launching May 5th!

Creative Inspiration with a Sketch

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Cutest Crew Bundle lives up to its name with playful images and die cuts of the most adorable animals.

The row of cats image from the Cutest Crew Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on four rectangles of cardstock (4" x 1") in various shades of pink using the matching Classic Stampin' Ink™; Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush. The paw prints image from the same stamp set was stamped randomly over the front of a folded Basic White card base using Petal Pink ink. The stamped cardstock strips were then adhered directly to the card front.

Smoky Slate Ink was added to the first two images in the row of cats stamp, which was then stamped on Basic White Cardstock and coloured using the light Crumb Cake and light Pretty in Pink Stampin' Blends™. The coloured pair of cats were cut using both the die from the Cutest Crew Dies and scissors for the right-hand side.

The sentiment, again from the same stamp set, was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Strawberry Slush ink and cut out using the die (measuring approximately 2¾" in diameter) from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The coloured pair of cats were added to the bottom of the die-cut circle using Stampin' Dimensionals™ and the sentiment element added to the card front, again with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The individual cat dies from the Cutest Crew Dies were used to cut cats from Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink, and Strawberry Slush Cardstock, and added to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. Flirty Flamingo Garden Epoxy Dots were added as the final embellishments.
