The Holiday Catalog goes live next Tuesday, September 1st, but today I have a sneak peek of four new products in this gem of a catalog! Can you guess what’s new?

- Spider Web Doilies
- BLACK Glimmer Paper
- A Little Something stamp set
- Softly Falling Embossing Folder – It is meant to be used as snow but I think it looks just fine on my Halloween card

I started out with my two favorite color combinations for Halloween – Elegant Eggplant and Pumpkin Pie. To adhere my layers together, I used our Liquid Multipurpose Glue. I’ve started using it more and more because it gives me a little bit of time to make sure that my layers are straight. I wanted my pumpkins orange on the sentiment so I used my Stampin’ Write markers to color it. The Black Glimmer Paper is so pretty and sparkly!! Lately I seem to finish every projects with several rhinestones and this one was no exception!
I can’t add our new products in my list below until they go live on Wednesday but below you will find the products that are available now. For more info or to place an order, click on any picture below.

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but in addition to being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I also sell South Hill Designs products. As I was making today’s card, I immediately thought how easy it would be to make a locket to match.

Inside the Silver Tone Crystal locket are our beautiful birthstone Swarovski crystals surrounding a silver crystal butterfly. The chain (my absolute favorite) is called the Multifaceted Link Chain. If you would like to see more SHD products, click here.
Onto my card! The inspiration for this card comes from Donna Mikasa for Hero Arts. I made a Stampin’ Up! version.

I embossed a small section of Whisper White cardstock with the new Elegant Dots embossing folder. After cutting out three butterflies with the Bold Butterfly Framelits, I sponged the upper section of each with a sponge dauber and my stamp pads in Daffodil Delight, Wild Wasabi and Melon Mambo. I popped each one up with a piece of Stampin’ Dimensional (the part of the dimensionals that you might throw away, around the perimeter). My sentiment comes from the host set, Best Thoughts.
The supplies I used are listed below. If you would like more information about a product or you’d like to place an order, simply click on a picture below.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you’ve had a good week!
My son-in-law celebrated his birthday on Thursday and I thought I would share my daughter’s gift to him. She took his favorite albums and posed the kids on top of them (its actually two separate photos). Isn’t it adorable – especially with their headphones on? I know he’ll hang these proudly in his music room.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Oh my! You certainly can make some beautiful butterflies with the stamp set Watercolor Wings! There are so many possibilities! To create my large butterfly, I used the stamps that I’ve labeled below. First, I stamped with Pool Party. Next, using Bermuda Bay, I inked up the stamp and then stamped off onto my grid paper before stamping over the Pool Party image. Blackberry Bliss was last and I used this full strength. I tried stamping it off first but really like how it looks full strength. The thing is, you can try all different combinations and have a beautiful creation!

Watercolor Wings
#139424 $26.00
Photopolymer
I cut it out using the coordinating Bold Butterfly Framelits (the Framelits and stamp set can be purchased as a bundle with a 15% discount) but you could also cut it out with your scissors. My Blackberry Bliss butterfly on the top was made using the Butterflies Thinlits dies. All of these supplies will be listed in my Product List below. My sentiment is also from the Watercolor Wings stamp set along with the dots which I did in Bermuda Bay. I did some of the dots full strength and others I stamped off one or two times. I decided at the last minute to run it through the Decorative Dots embossing folder. I can’t wait to see what else I can create with this set!
