Beautiful You for #GDP061

When I saw the color challenge for this week’s Global Design Project, I saw a retro fashion color story. A retro fashion story that needed a retro fashion stamp set!  So, I pulled out the brand new Beautiful You stamp set.  This stamp set is from the 2017 Occasions catalog which will debut January 4th!  At On Stage Atlanta, we were lucky enough to have the opportunity to win new stamp sets from the catalog.  Another perk of being a Demonstrator!

As Stampin’ Up Demonstrators, we get the opportunity to attend training sessions at various times of the year. Most of those meetings will also center around new product that is coming out soon.  We generally have the unique perk of being given stamp sets as part of our training or even more fun, winning one as a prize! Winning a stamp set from a new catalog gives Demonstrators a chance to come up with project and ideas in advance of the catalog launch.  This also gives you a chance to see what is new and get ideas!  A win win.

I also wanted to use a needle punched look along the borders of the frames.  Stampin’ Up has introduced a new line of  beautiful “Stitched Framelits” that would be perfect for this, but alas,  mine are still in transit, so I had to make do.  But if you want to take a look at the new framelits,  just click on the shop tab above. Stampin Up is previewing these framelits until the end of November.  After that,  you won’t see them again until the new catalog in June!

This card was designed just for the Global Design Project #GDP061. Challenges are a great way to see lots of ideas on a single theme.  This week’s challenge is a color challenge.  The challenge is to come up with a card using Emerald Envy, Sweet Sugarplum and Black.  Please click on the image below to see what others are doing with this unique color scheme.

I will be showing more stamp sets from the 2017 Occasions catalog.  I love this new catalog and I know you will too.  If you are on my customer list, you will be getting a catalog in December.  If you are not and would like one, click on the “Contact Me” tab above and send me you mailing address and I will be happy to add you to the list!
