Stamping With Friends Blog Hop 2022-2023 Annual Catalog

Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop as we celebrate the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. Our Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to showcase the products in this amazing new catalog.

There are so many wonderful new products in the new 2022-2023 Annual Catalog that it was hard to choose which ones to share with you today. In the end, I decided to share what I consider to be some hidden gems that I hope you will love as much as I do.

For my card design, I chose to create a Get Well card that would be perfect for the computer geek in your life. The Tech Support stamp set has so many wonderful sentiments and images that work for a variety of occasions and I just couldn't resist the virus pun. I paired this stamp set with one of my favorite new Die sets, the Stylish Shapes Dies. In just the short time that I have had these dies, I have used them for so many projects and they are quickly becoming my new every day favorite. For the designer series paper background, I used one of the designs from the Design A Daydream Host Designer Series Paper and I just love the wide variety of designs and colors that work for both masculine and feminine projects. This paper pack contains 48 sheets, 4 each of 12 double sided designs and is available only as a Host Reward.

I love combining new products with old favorites and I couldn't resist the connection between the new Tech Support stamp set and the Nuts & Bolts stamp set from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. The images and sentiments work so well together and give me so many additional creative options. I heat embossed the images and sentiments onto the Smoky Slate circles with Black embossing powder and then colored the hearts with the Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends Marker and the body of the robot with Light Orchid Oasis and Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blends Markers to bring him to life. The layering of the different colors of cardstock really helps make the circles pop against the designer series background and I used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up layers on the smaller circles to add dimension. I wanted to keep the embellishments simple and chose the Matte Black Dots to finish off the card design.
