Christmas in August

Hi stampers!  Can you believe it's August already???  Where has the summer gone???  Well at least there is one good thing about August....well actually LOTS of good thing!  Today is a very special day as a LOT of new things are happening TODAY at Stampin' Up!  First off, today is the first day of the new Holiday Seasonal Catalog!  Yippie! It's like Christmas is August!!!! Click on the catalog over there to the right to take peek at it and then click the shop now button to get all your goodies from my online store!  There is so much fun stuff in there from Halloween to fall to Christmas!  I'll have a project for you a little later in the post-) 

Next, today is the release date of MDS2!  You can visit my online store and download a 30 day trial or just purchase it since you're going to love it, lol! You can get an update for around $20 if you already have MDS or you can purchase MDS2+ which has over $500 of content!  If you have any questions please let me know!  I had hoped to get up early this morning and download it and play before work but I slept in because I felt sickly last night...maybe I'll have some time to play tonight!  The new MDS2 looked VERY cool at convention and much easier to use!  Now, not all 75 new features are available at the moment but the majority are and they will be offering the others as free updates as they are finished!

Third...I told you there was a lot going on today....is that August is 31 days of savings!  Just visit my online store to see what MDS downloads and print products are 31% off!  Wowee!!!!

And last but not least....don't forget that you can get that A-FREAKING-DORABLE halloween printer's tray if you join my team!

So, for only $99 you get $125 worth of product out of either of the catalogs PLUS the printer's tray and all the supplies to make it!  You really can't beat that deal!  No pressure to ever sell anything else if you don't want to!  And there's no penalty for dropping if you chose to, you still get to keep everything! It's really a win-win situation!  Contact me if you have questions!

Ok, and now on to some more eye candy....since its like Christmas today I have a Christmas card for you!  This is a card that was inspired by something I saw on Pintrest and uses some goodies from the new seasonal catalog!

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Merry minis, tiny tags
Paper:  Whisper white, crumb cake, polka dot parade DSP
Ink:  Real red, gumball green, pool party, craft white
Accessories:  Brights designer buttons, apothecary accents framelits,  merry minis punch pack, white baker's twine

Isn't it cute!  I finally cut into my polka dot DSP!  It's about time!  I also sponged white craft ink on the popped up card base.  It makes it look nice and soft and wintery.  The tag was made by simply cutting off the bottom tab of one of the apothecary accents framelits.  And punching out those little shapes could not have been easier with out new punch pack.  No more cutting little shapes!  So fun and so fast!

Now, go check out all that stuff I told you about up there!  And think about joining my team, ok?  We'd have so much fun!  I promise!!! :-)  Let me know if you need any help or have any questions!  I'm always here:-)

Happy stamping!
