Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue 2015

If it's late August it must be... 

Stampin' Up! Autumn/Winter catalogue time! Yayyy!!!

Face it, you were sick of summer anyway. It's done, move on. The new catalogue launches on 1 September & has lots of lovely new stamps, papers and punches to see you through until January, plus beautifully photographed ideas of how to use them.

If you've spent £30 with me in the last three months I'll be sending you one for free. Otherwise they cost £2 to cover postage (redeemable with your first order) :)

I'm really looking forward to working with this year's new items - there are some lovely papers that put me in mind of 1960's kitschy bambi type imagery, so I'll have fun with them.

My classes start up again on 24 September so look out for details of them on my Facebook page.   October & November will both be Christmas based classes & I'm hoping to squeeze a Thank You card class in in early December.  Lots going on so do like my facebook page to keep in touch!

CAS friendship card

 

Here's a clean and simple card using the Sprinkles of Life stamp set & punch & a few other bits and pieces. I really love the way white on white works as a background, especially with a bit of texture using embossing & paper piercing. Did you know that Stampin' Up! now sells heavier weight Whisper White cardstock which is perfect for card blanks?

 

I'm busy preparing for my Autumn classes and projects and the moment. Check back for details of my monthly classes and do get in touch if you'd like me to put on a class for you, or you'd like to host your own Stampin' Up! party. I cover the Stockport & South Manchester area :)

Silver lining card

 

 

Love the clean simplicity of this card & the sentiment is very true. OK, maybe not "every" cloud - I know a fair few people going through serious things right now who might raise an eyebrow at that - but it's certainly possible to find positive elements in most things.

 

 

 

I used the Tree Builder Punch and Sprinkles of Life stamp set to make this card, and layered the cloud over a punch out of glimmer paper. I didn't even punch the glimmer cloud out in full cos I'm too mean - I just punched a sliver & peeped it out from underneath.
