An every-day card with Sneak peek products from new Occasions catalog
Jumpstart your Valentine cards and treats with these new stamps

Happy New Year's Day! I was able to play in my craft room today. Such a rare treat! So sad to see the holidays fly by. Love hanging out with our nearly one-year old Australian Shepherd and my dear husband, who spent his holiday's redoing our kitchen cabinets and a long list of other house-hold projects.

I put together this card with several of the new items that will be available Friday, Jan 3, 2014, when the new Occasions Catalog is released. The Memorable Moments stamp set from the main catalog has a full set of numbers making it a must-have set. I used the Deco Labels collection Framelit and the Big Shot to make the background for the "2014". I created an embossed boarder using the Stampin' Pierce Mat and a stylus and tracing the outline freehand. Then to give it added dimension, I set it up on two layers of Stampin' Dimensionals. I love the elegance of the gold foil and the vellum. I was surprised at how well the Summer Starfruit ribbon matched the gold foil.

Q. How long will it take my order to arrive?

A. It depends on your distance from Salt Lake city Utah. For instance, in Houston, if you order before 11 am Monday, you will general have your order by Thursday or Friday of the same week. Add more time if you are ordering the week a new catalog is released. You can also order for 2-day or overnight shipping, which will put your order in front of other orders being pulled by the Stampin' Up! warehouse.
