'Tis the Season

Christmas card of the week is brought to you by Dapper Denim and Whisper White this week.

The paper is from a new Colour Theory DSP paper stack and the stamp set and thinlits are from the Colourful Seasons Bundle which really does have lots of opportunities.

And a new product update - if you are already a Stampin' Up! fan you have probably used their dimensionals (3D pads) - you can now buy Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  You get 720 for £3.75 and I think this is a really exciting product!

New Products!

A box of goodies has arrived to play with.

The back of this card uses a new large stamp called 'Marbled'.  I have used Soft Sky to ink it to keep it subtle but I already think I will be using this a lot.

The stamps and framelits are from the 'Ribbon of Courage' bundle which was inspired by Million Sales Achiever Patty Bennett.  More on this set to come another day.

I think these flowers are lovely.  I've also added a touch of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon.

This card was based on one in the catalogue - don't forget how much inspiration there can be in there sometimes.

And finally ...

The last three colours are Fresh Fig:

Berry Burst:

And Powder Pink:

Lots more of these all to come - I think they are a great colour family.

Introducing ...

This weeks Christmas card is brought to you by the new colour 'Tranquil Tide' (apologies for the picture quality):

This is rather a nice shade that looks more blue or green depending on what other colours you team it with.

The Seasonal Bells stamp set and matching punch are in the new catalogue too.

New catalogue!!

Another fun packed technology week for different reasons!

I'll start with my most recent Facebook post which is to say that the new catalogue is now LIVE!!
I'll be introducing the new In Colours over the next few days - this is the first one, Lemon Lime Twist:

I'm rather a fan of this colour anyway so it's very exciting that it is a Stampin' Up! colour.

This card also features some of the new Designer Series Paper and the Daisy Delight stamp set and matching punch.

Then I had planned to share this card made with the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set anyway but the bee has become a rather more poignant feature in the last week or so:

And finally the last Christmas card of the week with my favourite Cookie Cutter Christmas stamp set and matching punch:

This week ...

Quite a lot on this week so there have been lots of quick cards!

This first one took a little longer though and I made whilst it is nice and sunny.  This sunflower uses the Eastern Palace suite and is based on the flower by Patty Bennett (https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/499336677424542004/).

This just shows how versatile these dies are too.

Val did this super project with us at Bloomin' Buds downline this week:

It's a great little treat pouch with a packet of seeds in.  This one is in the new colour of Fresh Fig - the new daisy punch is rather nice too!

Then Christmas card of the week made an appearance!

And this is the card I made for swaps at our meeting this week.  Again, inspired by Pinterest and using the daisy punch again.

Simple but effective

And for the next instalment I've got a selection of fairly simple but effective cards.

The Kinda Eclectic stamp set is retiring but still available - sadly the butterfly punches have sold out.

The Custom Tee stamp set and framelits are also retiring but there are lots of combinations to be made with both of them - this card just gives a small taster.

The stamp set Big on Birthdays isn't retiring - hooray!
I've just added some colour on this one with Stampin' Write Markers and a touch of Wink of Stella which doesn't show up brilliantly in the photo.

An example I think of how a little can go a long way.
