Welcome to the New Catalogue

Good morning and welcome to the new Stampin' Up! catalogue. 

Here it is in all its new colour shiny glory. If you click on the photo below it will take you directly to the new catalogue and all the loveliness contained within it.

With the start of the new Stampin' Up! crafty year I also have lots of exciting announcements to share with you today.

July sees a brand new 'Best of' stamp set, Best of Butterflies. I am a sucker for a butterfly stamp and I absolutely adore this collection. I really love the small sketchy butterfly. Cannot wait to add this set to my collection.

 And here is the new discount promotion Stampin' Up! are offering on three lovely sentiment sets for July only. Who doesn't love new product and a price saving too. These are a real bargain so get yours while they are 25% off. I'd be more than happy to help you place an order.

If you'd like any more information, to book a party or place an order, please get in touch. And if you are local to me don't forget it is my new catalogue celebration Open House on Saturday 6th July from 10.30am to 3.30pm at my home in Newport. Please pop along for a copy of the catalogue and some crafty fun. Fabulous prizes to be won on the day as well as incentives for joining my hostess club or booking a party. Bring a friend, it would be lovely to meet you.

And finally a little bit of craftiness after all the excitement of a new catalogue and exclusive new sets. Here is a card we made at last months card class using the fabulous Best of Flowers (still available through March 31st) stamp set. 

This uses the white craft ink watercolour technique. We heat embossed the sunflowers with white embossing powder and then coloured using an aqua painter and white craft ink refill (I squeezed a few drops of white ink on to an acryllic block and drew the ink from the ink). Once this was fully dry (we heat blasted with a heat tool to speed up the process) we then coloured over the white ink with Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze to give this lovely subtle coloured technique. We used the rock and roll technique for the Papillon Pot Pourri butterfly which was then punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch.

The sentiment was stamped and punched using the fantastic Label Love stamp set and coordinating punch, both available as part of an exclusive bundle (saving 15% if you purchase them together!).
