Stampin' Up! Catalog Premiere

Monday night, for the first time ever, Stampin' Up! had a red carpet Catalog Premiere. The live event, which was held in Long Beach, CA, was telecast at theaters throughout the country. One of them was in Raleigh, and I got to go!

Here I am with Karel, Debbie, and Pat from the Wagstampers team. At the end of the event we got our own copy of the new catalog and a stamp set. I'm holding the catalog and Pat is showing the stamp set we received.

My fun actually started before the Premiere. I belong to a group called NC SU Demos and a group of us met for dinner.

The Premiere began with Shelli addressing everyone, talking about the new catalog, and then doing a demonstration for us. In the foreground you can see some of the demos who were in front of me in the theater. The place was packed!

The rest of the evening was spent with a variety of presenters sharing all kinds of stuff from the new catalog. We saw lots of samples, including this cute little baby bag.

One of the new products being introduced is Blendabilities. This flower (a new single stamp) was colored with them. Very cool!

I really enjoyed getting to meet the other demonstrators and the Premiere was lots of fun and energy filled. So glad I went! I have more pictures, but it's getting late so I'm going to wrap up. Hope you enjoyed getting a little sneak peek.

Check back tomorrow to see a card made with my new stamp set.

EDIT 5/1/14: I have uploaded the rest of my Catalog Premiere pictures to my facebook page. You can see them here. Are you getting as excited about the new products from Stampin' Up! as I am? Leave me a comment and let me know.
