I know I have talked a lot about the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator lately.  Of course, that is because so many of the Demonstrators went to OnStage this month.  We got the new Annual Catalog in our hot little hands and we were able to order a few things from that catalog before anyone else.

One of the sets I orders is a stamp set called Sea Of Textures.  This set also has matching Framelits called Under The Sea.  You will be able to order this Bundle beginning June lst and save 10% at that time.  Both of these items are part of a Suite called Tranquil Textures.  This means it has matching Designer Series Paper, embellishments, ribbon and cardstock.

The thing that really made me want this set is because of some of the dies.  Yes, they cut out the stamps of the stamps but they also have a couple of other fun dies.  One is the net that is behind the octopus.  Another is the fish that are swimming by.  They are not stamped but instead cut out using this die and then backing it with Coastal Cabana cardstock.  This set also has two sand dollars in it.  I love sand dollars so once I saw them I was sold!

The colors I used on this card are Coastal Cabana (a returning color and my favorite), Tranquil Tide, Blackberry Bliss (another returning color), Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

Now is a great time to join the Stampin’ Up! family because you will be able to pre-order some of the items in the new Catalog.  Otherwise, you have to wait until June!  Just click on the Join Now button to the right of this post.
