I am so excited to be playing with my new toys! First of all I got my preorder from Stampin' Up! All new stuff from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog! The craziest thing in the mini are clear mounted stamps! WOW! I was not sure about this, until I tried it! Low and behold I can see!
First I stamped the dotted tag from the new stamp set Tiny Tags and then I was able to stamp the thanks saying inside it with out the assistance of the Stamp-a-ma-jig! It was fabulous!
Now, here is the entire card, my first creation with my new stuff...
The Background was done with our new Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder! I new the instant I saw it, that it would be one of the first things I would order. The impression it leaves is so deep, you will love it! The second thing I saw that I knew I "needed" was the Beautiful Wings Embosslit, it cuts out and dry embosses FIVE butterflies! This butterfly was the only one my daughter let me keep when we tried it out the first time, the others are glued in her Hello Kitty color book.
I can not leave this post with out mentioning my other new toy, my Christmas present!!! YESTERDAY my new computer arrived, it is a big deal because we switched to MAC! I am pretty much in love! It does take some getting used to and you have to retrain your mind on how things work if you have only known a PC, but I have to say, so far, it totally ROCKS!
That's all for me, and now that I have a up and running computer, no more borrowing my husbands laptop, I will be able to do more posting and with all that is new, there will be lots to share! The Occasions Mini Catalog goes live January 5th, so save up your Christmas money, there is so much you will NEED!
Happy Stampin'

Clear stamps are so much fun. I've been using them for about a year and when I go to wood mounts I have a hard time using them. LOL Can't wait to see the occasions catalog when it comes out.
