Thailand Achiever's Blog Hop: New Catalogue Sneak Peek!

Thank you for dropping in today!  I'm excited to participate in this fun blog hop where we are showcasing new product from the upcoming 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue. You may be starting here at my blog or you may have hopped here from the previous person on the list.  Make sure to check out the list at the bottom so you can hop to the next blog and see more inspiration!

I believe it's nine more days to go until the new catalogue goes live!  One of my Team S.T.I.C girls commented that she hopes the ordering system doesn't crash because she believes that everyone will want to shop to get all the new, beautiful goodies in the new catalogue.

There sure are a lot of beauties in that catalogue.
I've been spending a lot of time in the craft cave playing!  Here's one of my more recent creations.  Everyone can use a pretty, pink birthday card.

I'm using the new Powder Pink cardstock for this card and paired it with Sweet Sugarplum.  You may think Powder pink is the same as the other pink that Stampin' Up! offers but don't be decieved! It is distinctly different.  Of course lighting always makes a difference but here are the three pinks laid side by side: 

Going left to right: 

Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette, Powder Pink

Can you see how each pink has it's own personality? 

The stamp set I used for this card is a two step stamp called Happy Birthday Gorgeous. I'll be honest that it didn't catch my eye at first but I fell in love with how the flowers layer to create such whimsical happiness! Can you see the Powder Pink solid flower, layered with the Sweet Sugarplum swirly flower outline?  Yup I stamped that all by myself!!  The cute bow is one of the darling new embellishments that the new catalogue offers. 

I love it that this stamp set can be purchased as a bundle with the Happy Birthday Thinlits.  Bundle means saving money!  

I hope this blog post gets you counting down the days until the new catalogue goes live!  In the meantime, feel free to browse my online store for discounts on retiring products. 

Thanks for dropping in and don't forget to hop over to see the inspiration from other Thailand Achievers!
