NEW CATALOGUE BLOG HOP

Good morning one and all..........

The day has finally arrived that the NEW 2013/2014 Stampin' Up! Catalogue is released!!!!!

A group of us have arranged a blog hop so you can get a great taste of what's new from SU this time around.  

You've probably arrived here from Queen Pip who always has something fabulous going on, and today will be no exception!

I have a couple of cards to share with you that I made in preparation for my open house event this past weekend.

This first one uses the Mosaic Madness stamp set and co-ordinating punch (which can be bought as a bundle for 15% discount!), plus the Quatrefancy Speciality DSP.

I've picked colours from the DSP which includes the very lush Strawberry Slush (one of the new In Colours for 2013-2015).  It makes my feel hungry whenever I use it!

The second card is my favourite..............  the new Washi Tape that Stampin' Up has included in this new catalogue is just lovely.  It really can be used to make a card in a matter of minutes!

 

The stamped images come from a new set called Happy Day, which contains lots of lovely word images plus the swirl I have used on this card and also a doily type image.

I think the hardest part of this card was using the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line things up as it was at at angle.

If you would like to get your hands on a copy of the new catalogue, then email or call me and I can either drop one off or pop it in the post.  Also, if you simply have to get your hands on some of the new products right away, then contact me to order as I shall be placing orders frequently over the coming days and weeks.

Then my Stampers 10 Club is for you!

Here's how it works:

• I need ten people to join in this Stampers 10 Club.
• Each member will commit to spending £15 per month for ten months. (If you live locally to me then there will be no postage fee, you can either collect, or I can deliver - please check with me).
• During the ten months, each of you will take a turn at being the 'virtual hostess' (each member’s month will be randomly selected).  When it's your turn to be hostess you get to choose at least £25 of goodies from whichever catalogues are current - you can also collect additional orders from friends and family to increase your hostess benefit value.
• You will receive a FREE copy of the NEW 2013/2014 catalogue which starts 2nd July 2013, plus any seasonal catalogues that come out whilst you are a member of the club.
• I will email you on the 1st of the month to remind you to make your choices and I will place the orders on the 10th of the month.

Extras

• Every month each member will receive a project pack with their order.  Inside will be everything needed to make a beautiful card or 3D project, including instructions.
• During the 6 months the club runs you will also receive various mini packs of Stampin’ Up! Products to sample – card stock / ribbon / brads / buttons etc…….

The next club will be starting in July.

Quick Cards Class

Hi there,

I'm back with some cards we made at one of my new Friday classes - Quick Cards and a Cuppa - pretty self explanatory really!

Lots of these cards use colours that are retiring, but would be easy to recreate in so many other colour combinations too.

This first card is made using the Clockworks stamp set, which is one I didn't really like when I first saw it, but now LOVE!

Sorry for the dark photos - was a little late in the day when I took these.  The colours are More Mustard (retiring), with Sahara Sand, Early Espresso and Pool Party.   

The centre of the watch was stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White and punched out so we could pop it up.

 

I love banner cards and used a combination of Lucky Limeade (not so lucky as it's retiring!), Perfect Plum and Sahara Sand.

The DSP along the bottom of the card was prettied up using one of the Finishing Touches Edgelits with the Big Shot.

 

Who doesn't love butterflies on cards..........  We used the Spritzer Tool (another retiree) for the background, and also Comfort Cafe DSP for the sideways banners.  

 

 

 

This last card is my favourite of the set.  I am so sad to see this Beautiful Birthday stamp going.  Thankfully the Secret Garden set is staying, along with the co-ordinating Framelit Dies.........  The banner strip on this card has been embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

 

My recent love of Red Riding Hood has been used for the base card and the stamped flowers.  We stamped the flower twice and cut out the centre section to pop it up.

 

I am really enjoying running my new Friday classes and have been getting good feedback thus far.  Why not check out my classes page and see what's coming up?

Big Shot Galore!

I'm back with the final three cards from March's class.  

Better late than never I say!

These cards all utilised the Big Shot in one way or another.

The first one is a colour combo of So Saffron and Pool Party which was taken from the Tea for Two DSP.  I love the Honeycomb Embossing Folder :o)

    

I used my Colour Coach for the colour combo of this second card - Perfect Plum, Lucky Limeade and Red Riding Hood. 

I have only just discovered a love for Red Riding Hood and now it's leaving us - so sad.

We used one of the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folders on this card as well as the Secret Garden stamps and co-ordinating framelit dies.

The last card is a gorgeous colour combo of Rose Red and Baja Breeze with some Floral District DSP thrown in for good measure.  

The top portion is embossed with the Fancy Fan folder and Daydream Medaillions and co-ordinating Floral Frames have been used with the Big Shot as well.

I'm trying to get all of my class cards from earlier in the year posted before the end of June when lots of the products I've used won't be available any more.  Still quite a few to go so watch this space!
