It feels like a long time since I last blogged and in fact it has been.  We have been on a trip and I scheduled some posts while I was gone so it has been a while since I have written.  

First, a card that I made a while ago but I don't think I shared.  

The card base is from the Bird Ballard Laser-Cut Cards & Tin.  These card bases are so pretty and don't require much to make beautiful cards.  I lined the the front of the card with Petal Pink card stock cut just a little bit smaller than the front panel.  The label is from the Stitched Nested Label dies stamped with a sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia set.  The magnolia bud image (Good Morning Magnolia set) was stamped using Memento ink and colored using Petal Pink Stampin' Blends and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.  In an effort to keep my cards flatter, I  cut 5 " of the Petal Pink Organdy Striped Ribbon and folded it in half and tucked the fold under the label.  These ribbon tails add a little something to the card but little bulk.  A couple of Gold Metallic Pearls finish off the embellishments.  

While I was away Stampin' Up! released the new Paper Trimmer.  I purchased it and I like it!  One thing that is a big improvement is the scoring blade.  It creates a nice clean score  line with just one pass and very little pressure.  I noticed the Trimmer is a lighter in weight which is a plus when packing up for some off-site crafting.  I will report more as I gain more experience with the trimmer.

Do you love the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper?  Do you wish there were sheets that you had multiples of?  Well have I got the thing for you!  Let me tell you about the Magnolia Lane Bulk DSP!  

This special pack of paper has 20 sheets- 10 each ot 2 designs from the Magnolia Lane DSP.   This yummy pack of paper was previously only available to demonstrators.  Now you can have it too!  Sometimes you just need more than 2 sheets of one design and this special bulk pack provides just that!

Are you ready for more?  Let me introduce you to the  Christmastime is Here Product Suite.  This is a big suite of products!  

Here's a closer look at the stamp set, dies, and DSP.

This set is not just for Christmas.  I think it should have been called Big Beautiful Roses because it definitely can be used for more than your Christmas projects.

Wow, that was a lot of catching up!  I wanted to tell you about the trip we took but that will have to wait for another post.  Check out all the new products and let me know if I can be of assistance to you!
