Welcome to the Pals Celebrations Blog Hop, our final hop of 2012! Today the Stampin’ Pretty Pals are excited to celebrate with sparkle all of our
favorite occasions! I’m Stop #18. You’ve probably hopped over from Stop #17, Peggy Noe’s Pretty Paper Cards Blog. Should you hop off
course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below
and you’ll be back on track.
My Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog pre-order has arrived–a good reason to celebrate! What better way than a collage card to share lots of sneak peeks with you. Here’s a handy wish list form so you can keep track of your favorites until they are available for purchase on Jan. 3. I used a 1 1/4″ Square Punch (119865) to crop each collage square.
STAMPIN’ UP! SPRING CATALOG SNEAK PEEKS (Avail. Jan. 3):
- SNEAK PEEK: I’m not afraid to play favorites! Today’s card shows off five different patterns from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack (129312)–my favorite designer paper in the Stampin’ Up! Spring Catalog. Each 2-sided sheet (48 sheets total) is sized to 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″. Perfect for card making.
- SNEAK PEEK: A Designer Builder Brad (new, 129329) makes a proud statement and is the anchor for a Primrose Petals Dahlia
- SNEAK PEEK: All the stamped images, with the exception of “love” are from a new stamp set called Collage Curios (Wood-Mount 129099, Clear-Mount 129102).
- SNEAK PEEK: The love sentiment is from the Spring Catalog’s Ciao, Baby! (Wood-Mount 129645, Clear-Mount 129648). It’s looking pretty snazzy next to the Large Rhinestone Basic Jewel (also new, 129324).
- SNEAK PEEK: The Bitty Butterfly Punch (129406) crops a little guy that layers beautifully on the Elegant Butterfly Punch or flies solo with panache, too!
- Finally, how does the “love” sentiment get that adorable shape? WOO HOO! It was cropped with the Petite Curly Label Punch (another personal fave), available FREE with a $50 product order during the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration Promotion. Sale-A-Bration begins Jan. 22 and runs through March 22.

Mary, in regard to the ds paper, Print Poetry, I don’t think I have ever seen a ds paper with all the “in” colors in it. They really came together well in this paper pack. Love it!
Brilliant card! Love how you were able to showcase so much of the product that is coming out! Superb job!
Great card Mary!
A beautiful showcase of the new Spring collection. I love the color combination! It sings out SPRING.
And “Print Poetry” definitely describes this creation, Mary! Gorgeous….and this just proves that the Spring catty is perfection!

Great creation Mary – This makes me forget the ‘cold’ outside 🙂 Great showcase of upcoming product!
Just beautiful – love it!
What a yummy color pallet! 1 1/4″ Square Punch huh! Handy
Oh WOW!!!!! Mary, this is amazing, I love, LOVE this card. The colors are outstanding together but, the way you used itty bitty pieces of embossing folders, stamps and embellishments makes this card one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. You see? I wonder sometimes when this awesome ideas come to you, but when ever or where ever they do, they are truly inspiring.
Again, I thank you.
