I was so excited to be able to attend the Stampin’ Up! new catalog premiere this monday afternoon.  It was the first time Stampin’ Up had tried showing us the new catalog with a live presentation in California and live streaming to theaters across the US and Canada.  Turns out, it was a lot of fun, and almost as exciting as the main stage presentations at convention.

Best of all, we got our very own copy of the upcoming catalog!

Don’t mind my squinting…. we actually have sun here in the Northwest for the first time in ages it seems.   So the weather was great but that wasn’t great for photos. 

Anyway!

There were lots of great reveals of new products (alphabet framelits!!!  new dies, new punches, the new in colors – which I think look a lot like the color scheme in the current Epic Day designer paper btw) and some fabulous samples.

I thought I would share one of the things I can’t wait to get my hands on (thank you demonstrator preorder!) – Stampin’ Blendabilities!

They showed us this cute sample using a new stamp called Blended Bloom using some of the different colors:

Cherry Cobbler

Coastal Cabana

Daffodil Delight

Old Olive

Pumpkin Pie

Wisteria Wonder

So pretty, right?

I may not be an artist, and I’m not sure how well I’ll do with coloring with markers.  But I can’t wait to get my sets and give it a go.  From the little I’ve played with at Leadership and seeing them demonstrate it, I think it isn’t nearly as hard as you might think!

Ok, I’m off to start building my wishlist…. so many great things I need to make a plan.   So, enjoy this little share of what is to come and I’ll have more for you soon!

And don’t forget – if you want to get in on the early previews of the catalog and preorders – or just want to come to convention for FREE to get the experience!  Consider getting the Stampin’ Up starter kit and you’ll get all of that and more when you join now.
