 Hi everyone! We're live! Yes, welcome to Stampin' Chat with Stampin' Jill and Aubrey. Today we are going to play with this earthen, here I'm going to show it this way, this earthen elegant suite in the annual catalog. It's so cool. The textures are really cool. Yes, I remember when it first came out how excited we all, I think all of us were just like, that is so pretty. Well you were surprised that I even liked it. Yeah, because it's not really one that we gravitate toward but it's so striking, it's so pretty. And the designer series paper is amazing. I mean the textures in itself, I mean for male cards or for masculine cards are amazing. I just, and the sayings are really cute too. Yeah, it's super cute. And we haven't really sat down and played together with it. Beth has played with it a little bit and I played with it a little bit but not really in depth. So we're going to play with that today. Okay, we'll switch the camera. Well let's, yeah, and I want to show them, while you get started, I'll show them the paper. Because this paper is so, the texture and the design in it is so pretty. Look, it's just so striking. It's almost like a clay look there. I love how it looks like pottery. Yeah, yeah, like clay pots. And other patterns. So, and I've cut three of these out, the pot in three different textures but look at the other side too. So, I mean you can go either way. Yeah, they're super cool. Let's see, Sherry from Montana. Hi Sherry. Super fun. But the dies, you've got like this die is also like you can make the vase larger and smaller. And the paper, like look at that for, on, I mean, there's just options. Super cool. And I wouldn't have put the purple in there or, you know, the moody mob. Yeah, but yet it really pops. This one, I remember seeing this on a sample in the catalog and thinking, did they use metal on that? No, but it really is. Isn't it like coffee beans or something? Doesn't it look like a bean worn off or something? I think it's like, maybe if anybody has an option of what it could be or maybe some plant because it looks like it's got a stem. Yeah, I have no idea. But it's really cool looking. But the dies are also fun. You've got a couple more over there. And then right here, they're just underneath. Oh, I just have mine. Sorry, your pieces. That's okay. This is kind of what I've been playing with. I cut out a bunch of pieces here and just I've been playing. So I have no idea how they're going together yet. But yeah, we usually just are playing like, oh, should I do this upside down? Oh, I kind of like it that way. I'm going to make it have a flat bottom though, just by trimming it. All I have for now is I know I want to have that piece over like that. And then something with all these die cuts. So we get to know how we kind of create on the fly. And that's kind of what we're doing is creating on the fly. Wouldn't you say? So this is the back of one of the papers too, right here. I love that. It's such a cool texture. And I went ahead and already die cutting. I think I want to use the thank you on this one. And I'm going to go ahead and use a little mask. Are you using a mask at all? No, I want to see what you're doing. I'm just going to do, so I'm going to stamp like underneath here. And then put the, so then they look like they're coming out of the, when I'm stamping. Yeah, I think I want to use pretty hot too. The sayings in here are really fun too. You are proof there is good in the world. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated. You always know just what to say and do and then with gratitude. Super cute. And let's see. We have Jean from Oregon. Awesome. Awesome. Okay, I'm wondering how, how the weather is there right now. We're pretty humid. We kind of got our monsoons starting to come up from the south. So we're a little humid and kind of lucky looking outside today. Because we're never usually humid. Not really. It's really dry here usually. And right now my allergies are just crazy. They're like an overload. How about yours Aubrey? That's why I sound congested. Mine haven't been too bad lately, but I know that going on. It's that time of year. Yeah, let's see. Jean says it's sunny and hot 93 degrees in Oregon. Sunny. Oh my gosh. Jean, I'm sorry. I probably did that last time too. Because I remember your name, just not how to say it. 93 up in Oregon and sunny. Is it, is it, is Oregon like Washington in that it's usually rainy all the time? Well, it depends on what side. If you're in Oregon, it's dry. Oh. It's a dry place. And is that where you lived? No, my brother lived in a band and it was really dry there. So that's why they liked it is because, but all the weather has changed. Really? Because of everything. Yeah. I think it was everybody else. What our normal weather is not normal anymore. Yeah. I like, I do like the sayings. I think the fonts are really cute with this, with this stamp set. I think it lends itself to a lot of different options. Oh my gosh. Oh, that's so cute. So now that's just stampy. Okay. So, you know, and I could put it down here or whatever. It's just a super simple card. Okay. She says not rainy. We're close to the California border. Okay. Okay. Let me show you a tip here. So I'm going to take my little piece of paper, my long skinny piece of paper. And I'm going to go ahead and cut it like this so I know where I want it. But I'm going to leave an edge right here and then I'll show you here in a second. Now that's not exactly straight, but that's okay. Okay. Now I'm going to take this and snip it in the center and then go ahead from the corner piece of both of them and go to the corner and go to the corner. I mean, go from the corner to the center. Hello. Now I'm going to move this over so it's got like a quarter of an inch. And then look, instant frame. Did you see that? Instant frame. So I moved it down like this and then moved it back. And you've got your instant frame. That makes it easy. Yeah. So you want to do it fast and simple. You can do that. Has anybody ever, anybody else ever done that? I've not ever done it that way. Yeah. It's just, you just move it over and then you've got an edge around the whole thing. I think I will pop that up and I'm kind of trying not to use the dies on the greenery, which I love because I think they're so cute. But I'm trying to make mine simple with just the one. Mine is not very simple. Kind of building. Oh, but that's cute. That little pot there. And then I love this. You are proof there is good in the world. So I might do that stamped down there maybe. I love this and I have to look at the color. That's the pretty misty blue light. Oh my gosh. So many new colors, but yet some brought back and it's like trying to remember what is brought back and what is new and keeping up with all the new stuff. Does anybody else have that problem? Oh, I didn't get it straight. Oh, you didn't get it straight? It's a little off. Well, you know, you can stamp it on a separate piece and then make it. I know. I just wasn't hoping to have to do that. Okay. Thank you. I'm not going to steal this. Okay. So there's my thank you card with. Let's see. Oops. Oh, cute. I love how simple it is. Yeah. It's super simple. So cute. So I, it's funny because I put this up here, but I'm like, oh, there we go. Oh, Margot. She says the more I see projects made with that set, the more I want it. I know. I know. It really is super pretty. Well, and I think it's really versatile on, you know, different. Let's see if somebody is not fussy at all. They want to have something just simple. So oops, I just put my finger in there. Let's see. I was going to use this one here. Trying to decide what I want to do. I think I want to make my, and you could do the same thing with your stamp. You just move it down when you stamp it. I think with this, but just cutting this to make my vase smaller works too. There's my smaller vase. Oh, I like how you've used the texture. So I'm kind of doing the same look or maybe I'll go in the center. Let's do the center this time. I'm doing, I'm going to show you. So this twine or let's see what they call it. So I get it right. I'm just going to put this underneath my natural wavy trim. This also comes as a part of that suite. And I, I really love this, but on this card I'm showing, I want to show you, I'm just going to pull it apart just a little bit. Kind of like spreading the, um, the surface. Yeah, just the individual like threads out a little. So it just kind of makes it just a little more, have a little more texture and interest. So that's kind of cool. The problem is when you do one, it like pulls the others. It's like a, when you do it with a braid, if, like when I braid my girl's hair, when I originally braid it, it's really tight. And then if I want it to have a little more like bubble to it, kind of that same feel. And then they can have more of a. You can spread it so it's wider. Thicker, yeah, thicker, wider look to it. So some of these pads are super juicy. And I forget I don't have to push as hard as some of the older ones. And then I get them really over stamped on what we're doing. Let's see what other colors do I want? I think that's as good as that. I'm going to have to fix this before we take a picture. Because she can't let that go. No, go away. So my other thought, I really want to use this designer series paper. So I'm going to use that texture. It's kind of like you really have to have the designer series paper with this for sure. Even if you don't get the dies. Yeah. Because, because the designer series paper, but then you, then you got to have the dies for the, I don't know why. It's such a catch 22. Yeah. It's like how many people have all three want to know that. Oh, and another thing we need to talk about is we're going to be showing new product here. As spotlight. Yeah. So that's true. Because we, Jill is a demonstrator. We get to pre-order product. So the new holiday, the new holiday catalog is going to be available. September 1st or one of the days right there in the beginning of September. And we get to start the pre-order for that tomorrow. So we get to kind of play with it and have it about a month before customers. But yeah, next week, we think we'll show you some of our fur and make a sneak peek of it. September 6th, Beth tells me. That's not as good as September 1st. I forgot to clean that before I put it down. Hello. Hello. That doesn't happen to most people, right? Definitely not. Yeah, right. Okay. The moth. Okay. So now I'm going to move that, move that up. So look at my arrangement of twigs and stuff. Oh, cute. Okay. Very cute. So I've kind of done that in the center. I think I want to put a little bit of blue card stock around that before. But I'm going to pop this up, I think. Oh, look, that looks pretty too with the blue, but I already did a blow on it. I mean, it's like... Well, Gianna is saying she loves the blue color, so... Oh. More blue, the better. I do. I love blue, too. I know. They are really pretty. I love it. Like, this blue is on the back of this texture piece that I'm using. And I just cut that down and used it right there, so it gives that nice pop. I like it. I like it like that. Okay. Let's see. What little scene do I want to have? You always know just what to say and do. Now, I usually, when I go ahead and cut some of my card stock, I usually take the stamp and put it down on my grid paper. And then I know I'm going to go over one, two, three, four, five, six-tenths or five-eighths. And then I'll know, okay, that's what I want to cut it at. So, that's kind of how I come up with the size. If anybody else has another option, I'm always open for options of different ways. How about you, Aubrey? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to what you said. What are you talking about? I basically take the stamp down by my grid paper and measure it. I need to strip this account over the five-sixteenths and that's how I find what I need. Five-eighths. That is really smart. Yeah. I usually just stamp it down and then cut. Well, you know, it would probably be good because I don't have photopolymer to probably do that in this particular stamp set. But I'm going to see if I can make it work. Well, I think it's so funny. It's interesting to always hear what other people's processes are. That's true. Because everyone just does things differently. Okay. I think I'm going to stamp this in the Misty Moonlight and then do the background cardstock in the Misty Moonlight. Let's see if I can get it straight. Oh, there's a thank you tail. Oh, I want to turn that upside down. I'm going to do this again. Nope. I've got to tilt up that one side to the left and see if I can get that straight. Maybe off camera. It's okay. It's actually, I think it's good. Okay. All right. Better than mine. Mine was rough. We'll go with it. I don't know where I'm going from here. Part of me just wants to do a super simple with DSP thank you or with gratitude. Do another, do a simple one. Do you have dimensionals over there? Yes. Okay. I'm just going to put my saying, just pop that up. Look at how many of those guys you bet. Thank you. There you go. This, this fan looking thing is really cool. I know. Does it actually fold so it gives. Yeah. I did that on this one so you can see. Did you sponge it? I did. I sponged it just a little bit with the color just to kind of give it some variation on there. This is what that dye kind of looks like. And then you can fold it to give it some dimension. It's kind of, it's a cool day. And then there's this one that it doesn't cut. It just gives texture. So it's almost like an embossed look. But that would be cool. Actually, maybe that would be cool on like a pot like that. I have to, I have to keep playing and see what, see what comes. I haven't used any. Oh, I like that with the blue. Oh, I do too. Very pretty. I haven't done any kind of ribbon but that would be kind of cool underneath too. Or maybe just a little bit. I don't know. It's hard to, as you're experimenting sometimes to, to see the whole thing, to actually have time to play with it. Yeah. How many have this and love it and how many want to get it? Right? Yeah. So Margot, I think she said the more she sees it, the more she wants it. That's true. But I don't think she has it yet. So we'll have to see if she, if she has to go and get it. So now what are you doing with that one? I don't know. Okay, so you haven't decided. I'm a little stuck. I think I probably need to set it aside and do something else. That's okay. That happens. I love this paper. Come back to it. Yeah. Maybe I'll do something with that paper. I really think it's funny because I really don't think it's metal but. The coffee being metal paper. Yeah. I don't know though. I have no idea. It doesn't look like they're like our full coffee beans. Maybe it's just something created in a digital world. Probably. And we're just all not getting it. Okay, I just put some little texture. It is really little. We are non-digital girls in a digital world. So funny. I think that I want that cockeyed like that. Oh yeah. So we'll just put that on a little cockeyed on this. But we are so excited to see some of our new product that's coming out. And we're excited for you to see it too. So you want to go over where we see that again? Yes. Next week we will be ordering tomorrow some of our favorite products. And then next week we'll do a little show and tell. And you can come and watch us show you some of our favorite things. And hopefully we've been able to play by them. I'm sorry. It's like total opposite. If you go right, you go left. Yes. Okay. Well, we'll keep playing here and finish up our cards. At least I will. Jill's been on it. But we'll finish things up. And then like always we post all our ideas over on Facebook in our stamping Jill VIP group. So go look there. Beth always puts the link in the description for us. Yeah. So if you want to see more ideas, that's where you go. Yes. Okay. Well, thanks for stamping with us today. We'll see you next time. Bye bye.
