September Blog Hop: New Products!

Hi!

Today I am very excited to be a part of a blog hop that showcases not only some very talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, but also some gorgeous NEW products from the recently released Idea Book and Catalogue.  Another South Australian, Kathryn Mangelsdorf, was the blog before mine on the hop.  Didn't she have some great stuff to show you!

There are a HEAP of new products, but today I have decided to focus on some of the smallest, but also one of those products that can add a big bang to your papercraft projects: brads.

My first card uses the new Glimmer Brads, found on page 143 of the catalogue.  There are 4 different colour families you can purchase, and you get 40 brads in 5 different colours in each pack for just $9.95.


I used my Stampin' Write markers to colour the Hello Blossoms stamp and then used coordinating brads as the center of the flowers.  It's such a  simple card, but the Glimmer Brads give it a little bit of pizzazz.  Did you also check out some of the new Wisteria Wonder ruffled ribbon?  Gorgeous!  You can find the ribbon on page 138.


The brads are so glittery!  Perfect for a little girl's birthday card.


I just stamped one flower on the inside, and then used some Dazzling Diamonds for the center of the flower.  I didn't use a brad as I didn't want to damage the front of the card.

The other brads I want to highlight are the Designer Printed Brads.  They are also on page 143 of the catalogue, and for $14.95 you get 8 brads in each of the five 2011-2013 In Colours (40 total).  They are sooooo cute with a little polka dot pattern printed on them.  Here's my card, which is a CASE of this card.


This time I used the Funky Four stamp set, but as before I used the brads as the center of the flowers. (And some more of that gorgeous ribbon!)  I also used some of the new Domestic Goddess DSP, which you can find on page 128.


Just a closer look at the brads.  They are so sweet - I can see myself using a lot of these!


 As with the inside of the previous card, I used Dazzling Diamonds on the flowers instead of brads.
