Holiday Catalogue Sneak Peek 3

This is one of my favourite stamps from the whole Holiday Catalogue. I just love it!  It's called 'O Holy Night'. It's a set of 2 with a star stamp with it as well. Got a few ideas on how I can use this stamp set.

Check out the Frosted Finishes Embellishments too! They are absolutely stunning! They are going to be my new favourite thing I think!

Oh I'm loving the new silver ribbon too! It's all so pretty!

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Six-Sided Sampler Baby

One of my (many, many) cousins recently welcomed her 3rd baby girl into the world. I've struggled with this card trying to find a baby card that I could make. Spent many hours on Pinterest and searching on Google for the best baby card. After all that searching the idea for today's card just popped into my head all on its own!

It took a little playing around to get the Hexagons in the right order that I wanted but I really like the graduating, almost Ombre like, going from lightest to darkest.

 

It took me a few goes to get the tag right. Thank goodness for the Stamp-a-ma-jig is all I'll say!



 

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

No Calorie Cake!

For my Catalogue Launch Party that was held at the start of July. I wanted to make it a bit of a celebration with this year being the 25th Anniversary of Stampin' Up!.

You can't have a party without a cake either! So what's the best cake you can have at a Stampin' Up! Catalogue Launch Party? A card stock cake! No Calories either!

I had seen a few pictures of these cakes on the World Wide Web and really wanted to make one!

I found a few templates and it was really quite easy to make!

 

I put some small gifts inside each one for each attendee. Some small sticky notes, some hand made paper clips bows and some lollies as well! It was a hit!

 

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Chalk Talk Thanks

I've been selling a bit of my retired items lately and  like to put a thank you card with the item. This is the thank you card I have made for the most recent items I have sold.

I saw a card similar to this one on my favourite site Pinterest and loved the colour combination. The colours used are Coastal Cabana, Basic Gray, Smokey Slate and Whisper White. These might be my go to colours for the year as I love them a lot!

This was my first play with the stamp set Chalk Talk. This was one of the sets that really captured my attention when I first saw the Annual Catalogue. Watch this space for more items using Chalk Talk!

Ruffled Ribbon Thanks

Don't you just love all the excitement when Stampin' Up! bring out their new Annual Catalogue each year? I love all the buzz it creates and the excitement of all the new products. One of the many products I'm excited about is the Ruffle Stretch Trim in the new In-Colours. It is just divine!

Here is a thank you card for my customers that attended my recent Catalogue Party. It was just a little thank you to them to say thanks for helping make my launch a huge success.

 

I can see I'm going to be using rolls and rolls of the trim! It is beautiful!
