glitter and beads and sticky cuts, oh my!

I really wanted to stamp today, especially since I just got those awesome new sets, but it just didn't happen. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to show you some cool stuff from the new catalog along with a preview of things you'll see in the Occasions Mini Catalog, which will be available for customer orders on March 1.

The first thing I want to show you are samples of the new Sticky Cuts letters paired with out new bead duos. WOW! Are these striking when you see them in person! talk about making any project absolutely POP! The beads add such awesome sparkle and dimension -- the seriously take any project about seven miles past wow and into FANTABULOUS!

Now, everyone knows I love all things Stampin' Up!, so it's no surprise that I was excited by these new additiona to our accessories line, but when I saw these in person my excitement went off the charts! I really, really love the beads!

And don't even get me started on our new assortments of glitter! First, the fine glitter now comes in awesome colors! as you can see in this photo, the color glitter is just as sparkly as dazzling diamonds and it makes stuff look Awesome!

And as for the chunky glitter, I will be the first to say that when I first heard about this product i was a bit sceptical. I love, love, love our ultrafine glitter, and I through the chunky glitter might make projects look like a 1st grade project gone awry. But I stand corrected! In person the chunky glitter does everything the fine glitter does, plus it adds even more dimension! Very cool!

And if you want to see more glitter, here is a sneak peak at a new assortment that will be available in the Occasions mini. Chunky glitte in four more fantastic colors, perfect to use with all your spring and summer projects.

And here is what the new chunky glitter would look like on a card made, by the way, with an awesome new stamp set called Big on Occasions. Think Big on Christmas for spring. It's a really neat set and I don't need a crystal ball to know that this set will be hot, hot , hot and flying off the shelves when it becomes available in March.

So there you go. Probably better than something I stamped, right? No worries, though. We'll be abck to my stamping soon.
