I am a huge fan of Becky Higgins so the fact that she and Stampin' Up! have joined together to offer exclusive Project Life products is one of the most exciting things to happen in my career as a SU! demo. Add to that the fact that SU! seems to have embraced photopolymer stamps and I am ONE HAPPY CAMPER and really looking forward to seeing the new catalog! I don't typically preorder products available to demos, but with the free shipping offer last week, I couldn't pass up the chance to be one of the first to get my hands on the new Project Life products that Stampin' Up! has to offer. I have to say, I LOVE the new products--every package I opened just made my happy :-) I made this card in about a minute flat just by mounting one of the 3x4 cards onto a piece of black cardstock and then popping that up on a white card base. I loved the quote and thought the card by itself would be such a great card for someone in my #teambehappy crew at some point. I then threw together a quick scrapbook layout which you can see below using some more of the cards from the Everyday Adventure set that will be available to Stampin' Up! customers tomorrow, May 1st. Probably the most time-consuming part of this entire layout was the title card--I used a ruler and one of the journaling pens to make the lines black (they were originally blue) and then stamping Joseph's name probably took the longest amount of time--I did line the stamps up and then ink and stamp them all at once which I thought would save time but it probably took me longer than just stamping them one at a time haha! I am LOVING the photopolymer stamps--Stampin' Up! is known for their quality and it's 'clear' they went with a high grade photopolymer. I am so excited about the direction Stampin' Up! is moving in--it is renewing my energy as a demo!
Here is a link to the Stampin' Up! blog that shows the products that will be available tomorrow--even more will be included in the new catalog! I like the variety of page protectors--the unique layouts are something that I hope Stampin' Up! will consider expanding on as it develops products. With the standard protectors being available at local 'big box' stores with coupons, I think it will be difficult for SU! demos to sell those. I will be having an open house a little closer to new catalog release and cannot wait to share all of this fabulousness with all of you!
