New Catalogue Blog Hop

Hi all and welcome to a new catalogue and a new look to my page. I am doing a blog hop again with some great friends, we are also all Stampin' Up! demonstrators. This blog hop is all showing off new items from the 2011 - 2012 ideas and catalogue. I must admit my wish list is quite big this year. There is a lot of new lovely things to play with in the new book.  You can contact me to get one if you dont have one already. Anyway on to our hop.....

You might have just hopped over from my very talented friend Christine Blain's web ( Doesnt she have some just gorgeous work!!!) Don't worry if you havent come from there because if you follow the links at the bottom of each page you visit, you will do a complete circle and end up back where you started.

Today I have made two cards, one using our new christmas set called Merry & Type and the other using Easy Events, both sets I didnt think I would own but once I started seeing cards and other things made with them I just had to have them.

The Designer Series paper (DSP) is new also, it is in our new christmas set called Letters to Santa. Both the greeting and the christmas baubles are from the set called Merry & Type. I have used Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Garden Green. It has all been put on a Very Vanilla card base.

 

 

The only thing that isnt new on this card is the greeting. The paper is our new in colours, Wisteria Wonder and Pool Party as are the new Stampin' Wrtie markers I used to colour the cupcake from Easy Events stamp set.

            You can use these markers to write with or colour your stamps to get multiple

            colours on one stamp. If you look at my first card, the baubles are actually one

            stamp, I just used the markers  t0 get more than one colour on it as the markers

             have the same ink as our wonderful ink pads.

The punch to make the border is stunning and also new. It is called Lace Ribbon Border. I have just cut it in two and put one half on each side of the stamped panel.

Anyway thats it from me, I hope enjoyed my contribution to our blog hop. Please leave u a little note at the end of our blogs, we would love to know you have popped by.

I now ask you to click over to the web of a great friend Di Dunk who I am sure will blow you away with her work. Thanks for dropping.

Some cards along the way.

I was talking to someone at work today and they really wanted to see more cards up here, so here I am, I will pop some pics up more regulary so you can see what I "Try" to get done in my spare time LOL. I also am getting a lot of inspiration off the web for my craft room, so if I start putting up some pics it will keep me motivated, well lets hope. We also have the Royal Melbourne Show coming up here in Melbourne which is always a great hit with the kids (but not my purse) I show my Great Danes at the show and we are on the first Sunday of the show this year which is fantastic. Fingers crossed we do ok.

Also as a little special for my new website up and going anyone placing an order $100 or over between now and the end of October will go into a draw for wonderful gifts. They can be anything from stamp sets, ribbon or paper. There will be one draw a week so its easy to enter place your order and get your name in there (1 entry of every $100 spent). There will also be a draw for workshop customers, spend your $100 or more at a workshop and go into the draw for the gift of the workshop as well as the prize of the week, but be quick as this only last until October 31st.

This first card have made for a workshop that I am doing on the week end, the theme the lady wanted was christmas cards so using our new Merry & Type stamp set I ended up with this result.

I love using the Big shot to decorate my cards an I am finding I am using it more and more. I think the embossed dots make the card look complete so such little effort.

Since alot of people these days give gift crads for a present, I thought we could also do a card and gift card holder all in one. It looks so much better than just giving the voucher in an envelope. It also makes it just that little bit more special.

My last card I Cased off the internet and I just loved it. I thought it would make a great Fathers Day card. I was happy with how it turned out considering I need a whole lot more practice with my brayer LOL.

I hope you have enjoyed my cards, if you would like to make a few of your own at a workshop of just want to order the parts used please send me an email. I also now have my official Stampin' Up! website so you can look at more things there. You can head over there if you like by clicking HERE.

Hope you pop back soon, until then

Happy Crafting
