Mediterranean Achieverā€™s Blog Hop May 2016: 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peekā€¦ #stampyourartout #stampinup - Stampinā€™ Up!Ā® - Stamp Your Art Out! www.stampyourartout.com

Welcome to another Mediterranean (Grand Vacation) Achievers Blog Hop! The theme for this month is: 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek. So follow along and check out all the other blogs in the hop (click on the names of other blog participants in the list below) so you can see a great collection of hand-stamped cards and paper crafting projects that show off new products that will be available June 1st in the new 2016-17 Annual Catalog. Oh, the creativity you will see as you hop from blog to blog! Have fun.

One of the great benefits of being a Stampin' Up!Ā® demonstrator is being able to get products and catalogs early. I attended OnStage Live in Salt Lake City in mid-April, so I've been able to play around with lots of new goodies that we received and were able to purchase at that event. And since May 3rd ALL demonstrators have been able to order additional sneak peek products. So I got my hands on the new Swirly Bird stamp set and coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies. This is already one of my favorite bundles in the new catalog! You'll find out why soon as more and more share these products and how versatile these images and dies are!
 
Today I am sharing my swap card that I am bringing with me on the cruise.
YES! THE CRUISE!
It is finally here! All of us who are in this blog hop will soon be experiencing our Mediterranean Grand Vacation (our cruise!) that we earned through Stampin' Up! And we have our customers, hosts and hostesses, blog followers, team members, fellow demonstrators, Stampin' Up! staff and our supportive friends and family to thank!

So…THANK YOU so much!

Here are the supplies I used to create this card – new stamps, new dies, new color!…

Product List

 
Measurements:
  • Shimmery White cardstock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (folded in half), 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" and 1-1/4" x 4-1/4" (punched at one end with the Banner Triple punch)
  • Peekaboo Peach cardstock: 3-5/8" x 4-7/8"
  • Silver Foil sheet: 3" x 3" die cut with the large swirl from the Swirly Scribbles dies
  • Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon: about 4"

I shared this card yesterday in my Periscope broadcast. So if you view this video, you will get tips and tricks for putting this card together as shown.

  

And here are a few more close up photos. I love how that Shimmery White cardstock adds just the right amount of sparkle. In fact, that reflection coming off the cardstock and the Silver Foil paper made it difficult to photograph this card and make the rest of the card bright. LOL
