New Butterfly Punch

Yes, that's right...my first order from the NEW SU! catalog arrived this morning. It was the perfect way to start my day when Mr. Brown (UPS) brought my box. I couldn't wait to try out the NEW Butterfly punch which coordinates perfectly with the set Flight of the Butterfly.

Here is the new punch shown with the stamped butterfly image and one that has been punched. Pretty awesome!!



















Here is a card I made using the stamped images. I stamped the butterfly image twice, once on a scrap of Whisper White and the second image on the Whisper White card layer. Then used the NEW Butterfly punch and punched out the image and adhered it over the stamped image lining up the body & antenna of the butterfly. Viola!!!



















Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly, NEW Teeny Tiny Wishes
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Cameo Coral, Whisper White
Ink: Cameo Coral, Chocolate Chip
Access: Scallop Edge Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, NEW Butterfly Punch, White Organza Ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig

Thanks for stoppin' by and check back later as I will post more NEW projects made from my box of NEW SU! items I am playing with.

Want to see somethin' NEW...

...then wait no longer. I am not able to show you the actual items in the catalog, but I can show you a stamped sample I made using a new set that will be available on July 1, 2009 when the NEW Stampin' Up! catalog is released.

I used the NEW Razzle Dazzle Set for the stamping on all my samples. Each NEW In Color ink is stamped on Whisper White then layered onto the In Color cardstock. The In Color Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon is across the center. I used two of SU! core colors that compliment the In Color. I punched the circles using the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. I also stamped the middle circle using the In Color for a Tone on Tone look.

My first order from the new catalog arrived today!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love when Mr. Brown shows up at my door and it is all for ME!!!
My order came today shortly after 2 pm and I have already opened everything. I got a few new stamp sets, but mostly new accessories. The Circle Cutter and Glass Mat were first on my list, along with some of the new Big Shot Dies and Texture Plates. The corduroy buttons and new brads are awesome. The Fleurettes are so pretty and Canvas Cuts are better in real life.

















Would you like to receive a sampler of NEW Embellishments? NEW Ribbons?
I have clubs forming now. Check out my blog posts for this special offer. It is available to all customers, demonstrators & blogging friends.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a creative day!
