Yee haaa!   New stamps and accessories still give me that adrenaline rush!  Today the Occasions Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration mini are available for customer orders.  If you haven’t gotten your catalog, take a quick peek online to see what’s in store!

Here’s a little something to celebrate with:

• Vintage Vogue Clear Mount Stamps
• Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, Sahara Sand and Very Vanilla Cardstock
• Melon Mambo, Sahara Sand and Soft Suede Classic ink pads
• Melon Mambo and Soft Suede Stampin’ Write markers
• Melon Mambo Polka Dot ribbon, Stampin Dimensionals, and a Blender Pen

I’m not usually a big fan of bright colors, but I make an exception for brights paired with neutrals.  I’m really happy with this Melon Mambo and Soft Suede combination.  With the new Stampin’ Up! Clear Mount stamps I didn’t even use my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the images on top and bottom.  I did make use of the Blender pen to selectively remove ink so that I could marker the areas where I wanted to add contrast to my images.  I also used the stamping off technique to create variety in my background.
