Holiday Catalogue is here

I hope you enjoyed our preview last night of the holiday catalogue goodies by way of our first every blog hop. 

The new catalogue is now here and as I've said before its fantastic.  Click on the image of it to view it online.  I'm sure your wish list will continue to grow once you see it, as mine has. 

Also if you've ever been keen to host a Stampin' Up! workshop now is the time to do it.  Stampin' Up! have a great promotion on from now until the 31st October where you can earn this great stamp set free in addition to all the other fantastic things you will earn with qualifying sales.

 

This versatile set covers holidays from now all the way to Valentines Day.  So if you'd like to host a workshop please contact me today to save a date.  

Blog Hop

Welcome to the blog hop that myself and some of our lovely team are doing.  All the projects feature products from the new Holiday Catalogue which goes live on Thursday 28th August.

For my project I have made a sympathy card using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and coordinating Wonderful Wreath Framelits dies.  Please leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

You might have found your way here from Christine Bennett's blog. Next stop (if you didn't start with her) is Narelle Hoggard.  When you're ready click next to hop on over to her blog and enjoy all the fantastic projects our team have created.

Lego card

It is our nephew's birthday in a couple of weeks so I had a go at making my first lego card for him.  Here's how it turned out - now to think of a present to go with it.

 

Supplies:



Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green

Stamps: Everyday Occasions (from Everyday Occasions card kit), Memorable Moments, Good Greetings (hostess set coming soon)

Ink: Real Red, Pacific Point, Garden Green, Hello Honey

Other: 3/8" Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Wonderous Wreath tags

Here's a peek at something new coming out in the mini catalogue at the end of the month.  This wreath comes as a 2 or 3 step photopolymer stamp set with matching framelits and it's awesome.  I can see it being used for things other than Christmas, such as these tags I've made here (I've used 2 layers but it also has a layer to add berries to the wreath):

I've made these tags to attach to prizes for my daughter's upcoming kindy gala - stay tuned for details - another blog post on that soon.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White
Stamps: Wonderous Wreath, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Old Olive, Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss
Framelits Dies: Wonderful Wreath, Banners, Bitty Banners,  
Other: Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack (retired), Pearls, Dimensionals,

New Home Welcome

I've made this card with the intention of it being a "Welcome to your new home" card.  It has a pocket on the inside to include a suitable gift card (Mitre 10 or Bunnings perhaps).  There's also a sneek peak of a new stamp set (inside) coming out in the holiday mini catalogue at the end of the month.
