I’m back

July has just flown by!  I just got back from Stampin’ Up’s! Inspire, Create & Share convention.  It was three non-stop days of crafting, swapping, and meeting new people.  The highlight of the trip was seeing the new Handmade for the Holidays catalog!  I think I need everything in it!  

The holiday catalog will be unveiled on September 1. One of the things I love about being a demonstrator is we get to preview and order from it at least a month in advance.  This means, I’ll get to create new cards and projects to share with you.  Would you like to be able to pre-order?  Join my Stamping Bee team today!

So, while I wait for my holiday order to arrive, look what was waiting for me when I got home!

I’ve been waiting to make the Cottage Greeting Kit since I saw it in the 2015-2016 annual catalog.  It reminds me of an English garden.  The kit includes:

* 15 printed and scored card bases (5 each of 3 designs)
* 15 envelopes and silver foil liners
* Includes die-cut accents, foil accents, baker’s twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals, wood sheets, self-adhesive enamel dots, and sequins

And it coordinates with some of my favorite colors:  Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, silver, and Tangerine Tango, vanilla, white

I’m going to make these tonight; I can hardly wait.
