Kissing....

Today I've experimented with a new stamp set called I Think You're Great and it's very cool because it has plain and patterned stamps in the set which allows you to "kiss" the stamps creating different looks.  On the card above I "kissed" the I think you're great stamp with one of the patterned stamps.

This is a card made using some of the new In Colours without any "kissing"

And this is the same card created using the "kissing" technique.  It's very easy to do and allows you to get even more use out of your stamps!

gift bag punch board

This project has been quite difficult to photograph.  I created a gift bag using the new Gift Bag Punch Board and then created a flower using the Bouquet Bigz die.  All of this has been made using the gorgeous new cotton paper assortment pack.  The paper is almost like wax paper, thin but very sturdy.

This is the front of the bag, I sponged Watermelon Wonder on the edge of the petals and the greeting is from the You're So Sweet stamp set. 

The Gift Bag Punch Board makes gift bags in many different sizes and this paper is perfect if you don't want a bag that's too rigid.

It's here!!!

 It's full of goodies just waiting for you to explore.  To have a look click on the image above or click here or you can go to my shop and place an order here I would love to see what you create in the comments section below.  I am eagerly awaiting my own rather large (oops) order to arrive so I can start creating.

One More Sleep.....

.....Until the new catalogue is launched and I am sooooo excited.  Just to tease you all I am showing you another little project I made using some of the wonderful new goodies!

I love using the woodgrain embossing folder to make the card stand like an easel.  Here I have used some of the gorgeous new lace ribbon.

I made a little tote bag and added a butterfly, it's big enough to hold some small chocolates or a lip gloss, I love giving lip gloss as a gift

The card has the stamp image embossed in white to make it really stand out.

I will be back tomorrow with the new catalogue on my blog and you will be able  to order your own new goodies through my shop now button.

Sneak Peak

One of the most exciting aspects of being a Stampin Up Demonstrator is that we get to see the new catalogue first and we can play with some of the new goodies and share them with you.  Let me tell you, the new catalogue is FULL of beautiful things and is very inspiring.

One of the new stamp sets is called You've Got This and I've created 2 cards using the set and the beautiful new In Colours.

I hope you like the sneak peak of goodies to come.
