Spooky Night Sky Card (Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak)

Hi everyone it’s Rick here today helping out. So I was asked to share a video with you lovely people. We are sharing with you little sneak peeks of the new Holiday catalog coming out very very soon. The catalog goes live to customers on September 1st. What better way to help you pick out some of your must haves with us showing you some of ours. I know you would rather see the card that I am going to show you today more than listening to me ramble on! So with out making you all wait any longer here’s my card.

This card makes me so happy. It reminds me of a bulletin board from my elementary school days. I had a teacher when I was in third or fourth grade that had a bulletin board that had these very same images on it. So when I saw the Spooky Fun Stamp set I had to have it. Add in the fact that it is a Bundle & Save there was no question that I had to have it.. I am just going to say that this stamp set my or may not be bundled with some awesome framelets, but to learn for sure you will have to wait until the catalog goes lives.

So you may be wondering how we got things early before the catalog is actually live. Well I am glad you ask, as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator we get to order new products a month before they go live. So if you would like to learn more about the perks of being a Demonstrator contact one of the design team members that are and we would love to talk to you about it.

Okay I promised you a video of how I created this card right? Well don’t worry it’s coming but first let me tell you about about my inspiration for this card. It all started with me remembering the bulliten board. From there I started thinking about being a kid during that time and what I loved most. I always loved the sun sets in the South during the Fall. I love Orange so that was a given that I would be using Pumpkin PIe in my card. So it just came about. I will tell you that it actually started out as a different card that you will have to go to my blog next week to check out. So with out any more rambling here’s the video tutorial that I posted earlier this week on my YouTube channel

Remember if you need anything please contact one of the Design team members, we would all be happy to help you with any thing. If you would like a catalog please contact one of us. Thanks for dropping bye and we will see you again soon.
