Pinkies Autumn/Winter Sneak Peek!

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! 

We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using products from the new Stampin' Up!® Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue.

Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

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!

MERRY....yes another Christmas card!

Good morning! It's time for a new sketch this week at CAS-Colours and Sketches.

I do love a good sketch, don't you? And this is a perfectly CAS one from Patricia!

 

So let's see what I did with it...

I decided to rotate the sketch for this card, as I wanted to use this sentiment and it fits better this way!

Oh did you see something new?? Well spotted!! I have used a new sneak peek item from the fabby new Autumn/Winter catalogue! This stamp set is called Seasonally Scattered and it also has a Thanks and a Love sentiment.

Here is a closer look at the sentiment, which I heat embossed using Pool Party Embossing power onto Bermuda Bay card stock.

After I heat embossed it, I added some Iridescent Ice and re-heated it, just for a little sparkle. I paper pierced the edges using the Paper Piercing Essential pack and Piercing Tool, then added my fussy cut 'Christmas' which is from the new Endless Wishes sentiment set. I finished with a few self adhesive Rhinestone Basics Jewels. The panel is popped up onto a strip of super sparkly Silver Glimmer Paper using Dimensionals.

I feel like I'm on a roll with Christmas cards now...hopefully it will continue! 

Have a fabby Thursday and see you tomorrow :)

Snowflake Flip card!

Good morning!

I am continuing the Christmas theme this morning...do I here an 'oh no!!!' ? Haha well I have to get started sometime! ;)

For this card, I have used the fabby new Snowflake Card Thinlit Dies to make this wonderful flip card.

I embossed the right side of the card using the Festive Flurry EF, and added die cut words from the Framelit set. The sentiment in the middle is stamped onto a punched out Artisan Label, using the 

The snowflakes are cut out of Silver Glimmer Paper, as are the words. I finished by colouring a gem using a Coastal Cabana Blendablilities...how amazing does it look??!!
