Well I needed to make a special card for the person we call ‘Our Fearless Leader’, my upline Mary Fish, of Stampin’ Pretty. She refers to all of her downline as her Stampin’ Pretty Pals. It’s her birthday, and I thought what better way to make her a card than to use the sketch challenge from her Pals Paper Arts challenges. Here is the sketch that inspired my card:
And here is my card:
Notice anything new? That’s right. A new stamp set, new DSP, new baker’s twine. Some sneak peeks from the new 2016 Occasions catalog that will make it’s debut in January 2016. Because I attended the Stampin’ UP! OnStage event in Baltimore a few weeks ago, I was able to pre-purchase some items from the new catalog; even before the pre0rder period begins for demonstrators! Sweet!
Here’s a close-up: 
This was the first chance I had to use those new goodies (I received them the day before Thanksgiving) but I can assure you, they’ll be getting a workout! I just love this product suite; you should see all the patterns of the paper in the DSP set! And the coordinating embossing folder! OMG!
Well, I hope that Mary enjoys her card, and her birthday. And I hope that you enjoy this sneak peek! Seeing the new catalogs before they are revealed, and ordering new products before it is offered to the public, are just some of the perks that I enjoy as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. And YOU can enjoy these perks too! It’s easy to join Stampin’ UP! – just buy the starter kit for $99 and fill it with your choice of $125 worth of products. Then sit back and enjoy all the perks!
