I am soooo excited about the upcoming Autumn/Winter catalogue! It isn't available to order from until 1st September, but as a Demo I am very lucky to be able to get a sneak peek of the products! 

There are so many gorgeous stamps sets, bundles, kits, DSP, accessories and gift packaging that I found it very difficult to decide what to order this time! However, I did decide and plumped for one bundle, some DSP and some sequins and ribbon...here is a little sneak peek...

I used a brand new bundle comprising Star of Light Photopolymer stamps and Starlight Thinlits Dies. Aren't they gorgeous?? 

As well as using the stamps and Thinlits, I used some of our stunning Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper for the star on the card and added a Soft Sky Sequin from the Fancy Frost Sequins. The tealight uses Fancy Frost Speciality Paper, which is as thick as cardstock actually, and a Sweet Sugarplum Sequin and matching Glitter Ribbon. 

I do love how all these items work so well together...I can see me making lots with this bundle!

So now it's over to Kim's blog to see what she has created!

Thanks for visiting and I hope these projects have got you excited for the release of the new catalogue on 1st September! And if you can't wait until then to see what else is in this new release, and even better, get your hands on the goodies before anyone else, why not join my team? You can then order your brand new products in your starter kit for only £99!! 

I look forward to hearing from you soon and I'll be back with more very soon!

projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons

at the end of each post to keep hopping!

Hello and welcome to my little blog, and my project showcasing some of the new products from our brand new Annual Catalogue!

I absolutely love this Love You Lots stamp set, as you probably know by now! It is one of the new hostess sets which you can earn for free with any order/workshop or party of £150 or more! I have used 2 of the lush new In Colours, Sweet Sugarplum and Peekaboo Peach, as I think the look fab together, don't you??

So, the card first...

I have stamped the little cuties in Tip Top Taupe, then stamped 2 balloons from Balloon Celebration in the In Colors before punching them out with the co-ordinating balloon punch. I then stamped 2 strings from the set and popped the balloons up on Dimensionals.

And now to the jar...which is full of Peekaboo Peach candles!

See? Told you they match! And they are peach fragranced too! 

I first of all embossed the Peekaboo Peach card with the Woodgrain EF, then stamped the sentiment from Layering Love in matching ink. The butterfly is from Papillon Potpourri (so glad it hasn't retired!). I then wrapped some gorgeous Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon around the neck of the jar to finish it off.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my creations, and now it's time to pop on over to Fiona's blog to see what she has come up with!

Happy hopping!

Pinkies Spring/Summer Blog Hop

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Spring/Summer Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

I have decided to use the first stamp set and die bundle that popped out at me when I first set eyes on the new Spring/Summer catalogue!

Isn't this heart just gorgeous?? I fell in love straight away, but I didn't want to use it as a Valentine, so I decided it would be perfect for Mother's Day! The bundle is The Bloomin' Love Stamp set and the Bloomin' Heart Thinlit die. I attached the heart using only the middle bit so it left plenty of dimension. The tiny leaves from the set are stamped in Pear Pizzazz, and used Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight for the extra flowers, finishing with matching Candy Dots. 

Do you see the gorgeous shimmer on some of the flowers? That was done using our brand new Clear Wink Of Stella pens... I. love. them! They are available in Gold too...eek! 

I created the sentiment using the 'happy' from Endless Birthday Wishes and Crazy About You.

There are lots of other gorgeous stamps, papers, dies and embellishments in this new Spring/Summer catalogue, so why don't you pop on over to Nicole's blog and see what gorgeous project she has created!

I hope you enjoy the hop and hope to see you again soon!

Pinkies World Card Making Day Blog Hop!!

Welcome to another Pinkies Blog Hop! As it's World Card Making Day today, we hope everyone will get some time to craft, and we've created some lovely projects to help inspire you to create your own beautiful card. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

I have a magic slider card to share with you today...my very first one! I'd love to know what you think of it...

So I started by creating my 'pocket' for the slider element to slide into; (there are some great tutorials on YouTube...I found one by Sharon Griffiths here) which I decorated with some footprints and leaves. 

I then stamped the skeleton from No Bones About It onto a piece of Window Sheet in Stazon White. (It's very important to use the Stazon ink as it is permanent.)

Then on a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock, the same size as my window sheet, I stamped the 'body' of my dinosaur and lots of the leaves. I place the window sheet over the green card and added my little tab at the end, making sure not to glue the 2 pieces together! 

I love how much fun this card is don't you?

Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy the rest of the blog hop! It's time to visit Clare's blog to see her stunning card!

Have a wonderful World Card Making Day!

Pinkies Annual Catalogue Blog Hop!!

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

I have created a really simple CAS card for the blog hop, using one of the gorgeous new hostess sets, Best Thoughts.

Isn't the butterfly stunning? I stamped it in black Stazon onto some of our Watercolour Card, then coloured it with my Stampin' Write Markers and a Watercolour Pen. I fussy cut it to give it some depth.

I stamped the sentiment then paper pierced around it to highlight it. I love how the light shines through the paper piercing!

I hope you liked my card, and now it's time for you to visit the lovely Ilse's blog to see what she has created!

Enjoy the hop...I'm sure you'll find tonnes of inspiration... and see you soon!

Pinkies Autumn/Winter 2014 blog hop!

using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Catalogue. Simply use the buttons at the 

end of each post to keep hopping!

Hi everyone!

Did you come from Kim's blog? Wasn't her project gorgeous?

I bought so many products from this gorgeous new catalogue that it was a tough decision what to use for this blog hop! I eventually decided that I wanted to use the Bright and Beautiful stamp set and matching Framelits.

I decided to try something a bit special, so this is what I came up with...

I always make some sort of Christmas decoration for my home every year, so this is where the idea came from. I used Champagne Glimmer Paper for the hollow part of the star, and die cut 6 of them using the largest of the Star Framelits. I then heat embossed 6 of the medium star stamp in Gold Stampin' Emboss and die cut them with the matching Framelit. Each of the stars were then stuck together, and the centre one was hung in the middle using invisible thread. I finished with Rhinestone Basics Jewels, coloured using the darkest Cherry Cobbler Blendie.

I made a matching box out of our new 12x12in Kraft cardstock and decorated it with matching stars and Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding. 

I also decided to make a matching card as I love this set so much! A Cherry Cobbler card blank, a layer that I inked with matching ink, and lots of stars. 

The word Noel is die cut from Very Vanilla using the Wondrous Wreath Framelits.

That Champagne Glimmer Paper is so super sparkly...I just can't get it to show properly in a photo!

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and that they have helped to inspired you!

It's time for you to move on to the next wonderful Pinkie on the blog hop, our very lovely Michelle! She has made something really beautiful for you to see!

I hope you have a wonderful Saturday and enjoy the rest of the hop!

Did you enjoy seeing Eveline's project? Isn't it lovely?

I have decided to use some gorgeous new ribbon and flowers to make something a little different for you!

I cut the heart shapes using the Hearts Collection Framelits and embossed the middle one with Beautiful Baroque Embossing Folder. I then sponged it using Mossy Meadow ink. The outer is wrapped with the stunning new Stitched Satin Ribbon in Hello Honey.

I have used the gorgeous new Flower Frenzy Bigz die and the Beautiful Bunch stamp and Fun Flower Punch combo. 

The main flower was stamped in Hello Honey, onto Hello Honey cardstock, the leaves are Mossy Meadow and the purple elements are Blackberry Bliss. All these are some of our brand new In Colours. Aren't they gorgeous?

I really enjoyed making this project...it's a while since I did a home decor item...may have to have a play in lots of other colours! :)
