HAND DELIVERED CARD:

Hello there! I'm so happy that May has finally arrived, and along with it comes lots of exciting news!!! Today I have a fun sneak peek from the upcoming 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! This graduation card was made with the Host set Hand Delivered. As demonstrators, we get the perks of preordering from the new catalog a month or more early, and we get to buy Host sets during the preorder period instead of having to earn them with a qualifying workshop/order! I was able to preorder this Host set at a substantial discount and you'll be able to play with it at Card Buffet on Thursday!

I started with an Early Espresso base and added a piece of Coffee Break DSP on top. I made a fun little bookmark using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch with Whisper White Cardstock. I stamped the images with Early Espresso ink and used various Stampin' Blends to color it in.

I stamped the sentiment on the gorgeous new In Color Lovely Lipstick Cardstock! I used Early Espresso ink as well and punched it out with the Tailored Tag Punch. I ran a piece of brand new Nature's Twine, that will be in the new catalog, through the hole and tied knots in both ends. I adhered the tag and sentiment with Dimensionals, and finished it off with a Corrugated Element.

In addition to this early release card, you'll be able to pick from 18 other designs as well! Please let me know if you plan to attend so I can have a little surprise for you!

The cost will be $35 and will include make & takes, snacks, a Goodie Bag and lots of prizes! Everyone will win! I will get all the details out soon and will need to get your RSVP & payment prior to the event.

I will also be offering DSP and Ribbon Product Shares! They are a great way to try out all of the new Designer Series Papers and ribbons at a fraction of the cost! More details to come, but wanted to let you know ahead of time.
