Mr. & Mrs., Sneak Peeks and Catalogs

Wow!  Yesterday was quite a day.  What a doozy!  I will be recuperating from it for the next week.  Stampin’ Up! introduced to the list of retired items from the 2012-2013 Idea Book and Catalog and we demonstrators were given a peek at the 2013-2014 Idea Book and Catalog.  I can’t tell you anything about it, but I will share this:  you will love the catalog — it’s a beauty!  AND if you want to receive a catalog of your very own, keep reading… 

I’m going to share a quick-and-easy, but simple-and-elegant card, with you, and then we need to talk about what it takes for you to join my team.  Two bonuses – (1) you can get your hands on some sneak peek items from the 2013-2014 catalog and have $30 of free product IN ADDITION TO the $25 of free product you already get (more on the sneak peek items later) and (2) you get 30% off your first hostess order (orders greater than $150) just in time for the new catalog release.  Woo hoo!  Let’s start with the card: 

Angie came over last weekend to work on graduation cards for her daughter.  At the end of our meeting, Angie asked if I would help her make a quick wedding card for her niece.  She wanted young and modern, and that’s what I think we made here.

• This piece of Designer Series Paper from Comfort Cafe really sets the tone for this wedding well-wish.  I love this paper (you’ve seen several cards with it already, but I can’t stop using it).
• The offset circles really add that retro-vibe to this card.  I tried centering the Very Vanilla piece, but offsetting them really balanced this card and allowed the sentiment to remain off-center.
• I embossed the Mr. & Mrs. sentiment on Midnight Muse with Pool Party embossing powder.  How crisp and clean!  The sentiment fit perfectly inside the framelit from Apothecary Accents.  What a great find!

Stamp sets:  Mr. & Mrs.  Papers:  Midnight Muse, Pool Party, Very Vanilla, Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper  Accessories:  3″ Circle Originals, 2-1/2″ Circle punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Pool Party Embossing Powder, Stampin’ Dimensionals
