We are back from Sydney after an INCREDIBLE Onstage event this weekend! I can't tell you much HOWEVER - make sure you subscribe to my blog to get the latest news at 5am tomorrow. My blog post will go live then. Subscribe Here and make sure you confirm the email too. This week at the Global Design Project, we are playing along with a sketch challenge which I LOVE. The fastest way for me to create a card is based on a sketch. Here is the sketch this week - I decided to use one of the BRAND new Suites from the new Annual 2017-2018 Catalogue. As demonstrators we get a few perks one of them is being about to pre-order items early. This suite all demonstrators around the world can order RIGHT NOW! Or if you are a customer you can order it on the 1st May 2017. We all know that I had issues chopping my paper right?? So the first thing I did was get that paper out and I made sure I picked my most favourite pieces - the ones that I normally would want to save and it would never see the light of day again..... So I got out the SPECIAL ONES and you know what I did?? I CHOPPED it and it felt so good to be using it right away. Aren't these cards wonderful?? This paper needs people to see it and guess what?? Now I have permission to buy some more. I am really excited now. #loveitchopit. You you truely love your paper - CHOP it up. The thinlits that come with this suite are stunning!! I used them with the gold foil. Here is the full suite which I am within Policy to show you because the Pre-order has begun. Any questions about policy and me showing this you can call Stampin' Up!® if you are concerned. You can see the full policy HERE if you are a demonstrator and would like to learn some new things! Feel free to pin this to your pinterest boards too for the upcoming 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue Products. Here is the same card just with a different sentiment and Framelit used. I wanted to make sure that both pieces of paper I cut got to good use. I find that it is easier if you use the whole sheet up and cut them to card front sizes is the best for me. So here in Australia I would cut them at 10cm x 14.4cm and have them ready to go for my cards. I can then cut them down smaller but I find that is a really good starting point for me. I used gold embossing for the sentiments - Aren't they amazing! I love the font. Of course don't forget inside the card - the wonderful Eastern Palace Vinyl Stickers are perfect for decorating inside as well as outside. Thanks for joining me today!!
