Today is the first day of the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog with new stamps, dies, embellishments and accessories! It’s the day we have been waiting for and the new catalog will be here this afternoon! This morning Stampin’ Up! is working to get the Online Store ready with the new products. It should be ready no later than Noon MT (1:00 PM CT).
I decided to make this card with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp on the front to celebrate the new catalog! I think this suite of products will be a big seller!
The card base is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper. I think this package of paper is just gorgeous! I thought I was going to use two patterns on this card but once I laid this pink layer down I loved the way it looked and that was it! I used the really pretty 5/8″ Organdy Striped Ribbon across the card and under the flower. I may have gotten the last roll of it during our preorder! I was moving my products back and forth between my “order” and my “Stampin’ Rewards” and suddenly it wasn’t available! But I still had it listed on one of those places so I guess it was okay and I got it in my order! It is indeed backordered but they should have more available around June 24th.
I stamped the large magnolia flowers on Whisper White with the Memento Ink and colored it in with Stampin’ Blends. It was nearly dinner time and I was afraid it was going to take me a long time to color in this big flower and leaves, but it went very quickly! You don’t need to be real fussy about it or worry if it is absolutely correct. I think mine turned out fine! I started to cut it out with my Paper Snips when I remembered that there were dies! But I couldn’t find my Magnolia Memory dies, except for a few loose ones! So I obviously own them, I just have to find the rest of the package! In the interest of time and disorganization, I just went ahead and cut it out by hand. Easy enough!
I knew the large magnolia wasn’t going to show up extremely well against the patterned paper, but I liked the look anyway. I added a die cut large circle of Vellum Cardstock to put behind the flower. The magnolia is popped up on LOTS of Stampin’ Dimensionals!
The greeting is also in the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and I die cut that with the new Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I was going to layer it on Mossy Meadow but there wasn’t much space and really, I just liked the greeting by itself. Funny how you don’t always know what card design you are going to come up with until you do!
Happy New Catalog Day (or afternoon!)! Check out the Online Store although expect there to be crowds of people there! Sometimes the website acts up on days like this! Once the Online Store is back up and running today, you can place an order!
