Fall/Winter Collection 2007 is here!

My box of new Stampin' Up catalogs arrived today! Here's a picture of the cover. I'll try to post some of the pages soon. I can start accepting orders for the new catalog on July 1st.

Here's a quick look at some of the highlights:

• 208 pages


• the beginning of the catalog includes 3 "style watch" collections, where they showcase coordinating stamp sets, colors, papers, punches, etc. My favorite is called "tapestry". You can find it on pages 6&7 of the catalog. It has a baroque background stamp, designer papers, taffeta ribbon, and chipboard script letters that coordinate with it.


• there are 5 simply sent kits. These are kits that include a stamp set, mini stamp pads, ribbon, adhesives - everything you need to make at least 10 cards!


• the next section shows all the hostess benefits. These are the stamp sets and supplies that you can earn for free by hosting a Stampin' Up workshop.


• the page with all the ink, papers, markers, refills has pictures of the product at the top of each column - very helpful! See pages 166-167.


• going gray isn't gone, but there'a new gray, too - basic gray. it's a little darker.


• there are more chipboard simon things - capital alphabet and clipboards


• more accents and elements - make cardmaking fast!


• there's a new punch - a scalloped circle - this will be the first thing I order! It coordinates perfectly with a stamp from the In the Spotlight hostess set.


• they've organized the accessories better - adhesives, tools, applications, etc.


• there's beautiful new ribbon - taffeta, a big 5/8" grosgrain, double-stictched

I can't wait to hear what you think!
