The amazing new Autumn/Winter catalogue goes live today. It is packed to the rafters with new goodies, I already have a wish list as long as my arm. A particular favourite is the new Northern Flurry Embossing Folder and Finishing Touches edglits. But, don't worry we have months to browse and peruse all the new goodies as all the products are available until the end of June 2013

There is a fantastic offer for anyone considering signing up to be a Demonstrator this month too. Not only do you get the fully customizable Starter Kit for £99 but for the first  SIX months you will receive a free pack of Designer Paper each month too. Come and have a chat with me over a coffee if you would like to find out more about this offer.

ALL CHANGE

Good Morning Ladies, It is a very exciting day in Stampin Up World. Today is the day that the new Seasonal Catalogue goes live. My copies of that are winging their way towards me and I should have some samples of new products to share with you all pretty soon. However , today is also the day that Stampin Up reveal the "Retired List" for those of you not in the know this is the list of products that will no longer be available at the end of September ( or to be honest on a "while stocks last" basis).

There are lots and lots of products on the list this time around, but that just means that there will be lots of scrummy new stamps and products in the new main catalogue that will be available from October the 1st( more  about that in another post coming soon). So if you have had your heart set on Greenhouse Garden ( sniff! one of my favourite sets) or have always meant to get around to ordering Pocket Silhouettes, now is the time, get them before they are gone. 

RETIRED STAMPS LIST

RETIRED ACCESORIES

You will see that that the Current Ink Pads are retiring, but don't panic, that is because Stampin Up have introduced a new style of ink pad, they will have firm foam instead of the current felt, but the colours are the same. There are some changes to the 12 X 12 card stock bundles too


Finally, the new Seasonal Catalogue  product is available from today too. Have a look HERE if you can't wait to pick up your copy from me

A couple of little projects

Just to prove that I do actually get some crafting done, I thought I would share a couple of projects that I have made during  the summer holidays. The first project uses  Mixed  Bunch, the Blossom punch  and a sentiment from  Petite Pairs. The card stock is Poppy Parade and Whisper White and a scrap of Designer patterned Paper punched using the Scallop Oval

This next card is made using the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder and as you can see it got an outing on the card below aswell. The Butterflies are die cut using the Beautiful butterflies Bigz die, stamped using French Foliage and the edges given a little bling with some Dazzling Diamonds. Cardstock colours are  Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory  and  Pink Pirouette

The last card for today is very similar to the one above, I used some Pearls to highlight the centre of the Flowers, and some old Marina  Mist ribbon that I still had knocking around. The card stock colours are Marina Mist, Crumb cake and Whisper White, a particularly elegant combination in my opinion :-)

REASON TO SMILE

Well, we all need a reason to smile and free stamps is a good a reason as any. During the month of August Stampin Up are running a fabulous promotion. Spend £60 on product and get this beautiful stamp set for free. This set is also available to buy at a retail price of  £18.95 for the wooden and £14.95 the clear set. I think it would make a lovely addittion to everyones stamp collection, really useful for  Birthdays, thank yous, notelets and all sorts of cards

Everyday Enchantment Paper

 Here are a couple of projects that I have made using the EveryDay enchantment papers. The first is a simple Tealight holder card,  a thank you gift for  a Teacher, I have used my trusty oval punch, scalloped oval and Sincere Salutations Stamps. The second card uses the fabulous Up , Up and Away from the Summer 2012 mini catalogue, This is fast becoming a favourite of mine. I found the sponging technique for the cloudy background on Tenealae Williams blog, she has the most beautiful and inspiring work.

There are still a few weeks left to take advantage of the offer on Everyday Enchantment for July, please get in touch if you would like to place an order
