New MOJO!

I can hardly wait to share this post with you!  Because the excitement continues!  I sat down yesterday to create with all my new products and I want to let you know that it's all way better than it looks, and it looks amazing!  The colours, the performance, the images!  Let's just say I'm in Stamper's Heaven!  You've got to get your hands on some of this stuff!

We have a team meeting tonight, and our swap theme is products from the new catalogue, so I thought I'd create something using the MOJO Monday Sketch #297.  (Whoa! They're getting close to 300 challenges over there at MOJO Monday!)  I also got out a new set that I just bought, Lovely Romance, and some Eastern Elegance DSP, with coordination inks, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry.



Here's the card:

And here's the MOJO Monday #297 sketch:

Well, the first thing I want to share with you is that I used my new magnetic platform for my Big Shot, when I was making this card.  It worked even better than I expected!  The strong magnetic field held the Square Framelits and the Chalk Talk framelits firmly in place and enabled me to cut out shapes without plastering Post It Notes all over to keep them in place. WOOT!

The second thing I wanted to share was that the 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim really does go easily around circular and oval shapes because of the stretch and the ruffles.  Take a closer look at this gorgeous colour, Coastal Cabana, and the way it backs the oval!

I was so hoping it would work just like this!  Imagine the possibilities!  You can get it in all the new 2013/15 In Colours.  And those lovely images you're looking at?  They are from the Lovely Romance stamp set.  The "Amazing" piece coordinates with the Chalk Talk framelits as well!

Then there is the colour palette, taken from the Eastern Elegance DSP that I used - Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry (so pretty together) - on a base of Soft Sky.  I can't get over how gorgeous that Designer Series Paper it!

Six-Sided Sampler Thank You Trios

I have so much fun with the little Thank You cards I send out with all my customers' orders!  They are a
great way to sample the new products and colours and DSP! It's just fun playing with the new stuff!  And have I got NEW STUFF?!  It was seriously like Christmas around here on Friday, when my first order of new products arrived from Stampin' Up - for me and for my customers after my catalogue launch last Saturday!  I was pleasantly surprised with the speed with which the orders were filled and shipped.  I was expecting it to take a little longer, but it was here sooner than expected!  Kudos to Stampin' Up!!






Anyway, I set right to work sorting and bagging orders and making the Thank You cards to go in them.  It wasn't long before my hubby heard squealing and calls for him to "Come, look!"
Here, you'll have to see why for yourself!

• I used all the new In Colours:  Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding and Strawberry Slush.  They look as delicious as they sound!  
• I also added one of the new Brights into the mix, Bermuda Bay!  
• I just received my In Colour Paper Stacks and I absolutely love the new designs for each colour.  I picked the polka dots this time, but there are three other up-dated designs to choose from.

• Then I grabbed all my In Colour inks and the Six-Sided Sampler bundle which includes all these great stamps AND a hexagon punch, saving 15%,  and stamped all these wonderfully designed hexagons!   (If you weren't already aware - hexagons are very hot right now!)
• Then I punched them out using the long-awaited hexagon punch. (By the way, the hexagons it punches are bigger than the embossed hexagons created by the Honeycomb Embossing Folder.) 

• After arranging them, I added a little strip of the new 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim, which comes in all the new In Colours!  I am over the moon about this ribbon!  It is SO cute! and, because it is stretchy, I believe that we will be able to frame Ovals and Circles as well as other shapes.  Just look at the cuteness it created on these little cards! I purposely did not have the ribbon fit neatly around the upper panel, because I was looking for a Quick and Cute Effect, smashbook style!
• The new Designer Buttons are adorable, big or small, and add the perfect little touch to the cards!
