Golden Oldies!

Some more cards using items from the new Mini Stampin' Up! Catalogue - this time using the Golden Oldies set. All images were watercoloured using SU's Watercolour Wonder crayons & have been mounted on the new Washington Apple DSP.

I've used the faux stitching technique on the 1st card, plus some of the new designer buttons. The 2nd card is very simple, just mounting the image & creating a scalloped border using the Scallop Edge punch. I created the playing cards on the 3rd card using Sizzix Sizzlits - not sure of the name of the set, but it's the one with the playing cards & gaming chips.

It's nice to be able to add a touch of humour to cards!

Fresh Cut Notes

I love the new Fresh-Cut Notes from Stampin' Up! I made this card using the Fresh Cuts stamp set, which I think is gorgeous. I used the card as a stencil on the back of the envelope & sponge-daubed the flower with inks - this made the envelope match the card & also added some soft definition to the flower in the front of the card.

Playful Petals!

I made this card at a recent Stampin' Up! workshop. I used the brand new Playful Petals set from the mini catalogue, plus the gorgeous Tea Party DSP. I stamped the images onto coloured cardstock, added colour with the Stampin' Write pens & mounted on a Very Vanilla love note with Stampin' Dimensionals.

New Stampin' Up! Catalogue

Wow - the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue Preview evening I held went really well - thanks to all who attended. Everyone placed an order, so now I'm just waiting for all the goodies to arrive! Can't wait to try out the 2 new scallop punches! I've also been given several new leads & 2 people have booked parties this month so I think I'm going to be quite busy! I've already nearly run out of catalogues & have had to place an order for some more. If you want to check the catalogue out online, click the link over on the right hand side of the blog.

The October newsletter will be out soon - I'm just finalising the November classes, then I can publish!

It's the 1st October meeting of the Altrincham Rubber Stamping group tonight - we've had to change to meeting twice monthly as we've more members than seats now! So I'm off to prepare for that.

Bye for now,

I'm Back! Again!!

I'm back from my 2nd visit this year to Cyprus - lovely weather, but I'm glad to be back because I'm soooooo excited about the new Stampin' Up! catalogue launch - tomorrow!!! I've already had a look through it (at 4am when we arrived back in the country!) & I think it's going to be another expensive year for me!! There are some really nice stamp sets & some exciting new punches & accessories, but I don't want to give too much away.

I've had some cancellations for my preview evening on Thursday, so I'll be sending out some more invites. If you want to come but don't hear from me, just email me.
