Happy Mothers' Day !!!!!

I hope all my readers have had a lovely Mothers' Day today. Just wanted to post this card that I made quite a long time ago now, but, I have always loved because it can be used for any occasion. By making cards with sentiments like "just for you" or "thinking of you" etc... you will always have on hand a ready supply of cards no matter what you need them for.

I am not taking any credit for this card, it was completely cased from another blog, but it was so long ago I can't remember who the original artist was. I hope you are inspired by it just like I was to go ahead and make your own.

Happy Stamping,

Vintage Vogue

Todays post is to show you 2 more samples using brand new products. This time, Vintage Vogue stamp set and 2 of our new colours, Melon Mambo and Soft Suede. Please note, if you are looking for my post about a product share with the new colours, keep scrolling down to previous posts. There are other samples using Rich Razzleberry in a previous post below as well.

This card uses the 2 flower images from the set and the leaf image. This is such a quick but effective card layout I use a lot. You don't have to worry too much about where you are stamping. The white cardstock is layered on the new Melon Mambo and then I have added the matching polka dot ribbon. The greeting is a white rub on.

This card features our Soft Suede cardstock. I have then used Chocolate Chip and Sahara Sand inks on the flowers which have all been cut out by hand. The brads are our gorgeous Neutrals Assortment in Chocolate and Vanilla. The border stamp and greeting are also from the Vintage Vogue set and have been stamped in Chocolate chip. The result is a lovely card in natural tones.

Keep scrolling down to see how to get a variety pack of these great new colours.

Happy Stamping,

New Colours!!!

There are so many great things about the new mini it's hard to know what features to highlight first! But, I promised a share with the new "In colours" so see below for all the details.

Now, speaking of colours, Stampin Up' have just announced some BIG NEWS about their colour families and the changes that will take place with our new catalogue starting in September. We are getting a few brand new colours and many of the "In Colours" (past and present) will become members of the permanent colour families. This will mean we also farewell quite a few of our existing colours but don't worry- if you have personal favourites that you just can't live without, you still have right up till the end of August to stock up on your supplies! I have links below to the pdf files with both the new colour families and the list of retiring colours. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Over the next few months we will gradually learn more about these changes and I will keep you up to date with all the latest.

What we do know is that the three new In colours, that appear in our current mini WILL be part of our new permanent colour family line up.


So, lets do a share!!

For the sale price of $30.00, you can have:

12 sheets of A4 cardstock in each of the 3 new colours (Melon Mambo, Soft Suede & Rich razzleberry)= 36 sheets
Plus
1/3 spool of Polka-Dot grosgrain ribbon (pictured above) in each of the same colours (approx 4 1/2 m of each)

Added Option: Also order 1 of each colour ink pad to match for the total bargain of $65.00 ! Free postage.

Contact me today with your order for this offer or any of the other great products in our Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue.

1st mini catalogue samples

I love the start of a new catalogue! My time has been limited lately, and when you have a break from stamping you can often lose your "mojo", but with a table full of new products to play with my enthusiasm is back!!!!
So my first two samples feature the products which were at the top of my wish list! Rich Razzleberry Cardstock and ink; Razzleberry Polka dot grosgrain ribbon; Cottage Wall DS paper and the matching stamp set Cottage Garden.



I love flower images with the 2 step stamping technique and also love how Stampin Up always coordinate their products. I'm mentioning the word love a lot to day! Have I said how much I LOVE THIS MINI!!!!!

We finally have the BIG SHOT diecutting machine with exlcusive Stampin' Up dies; We have 3 new colours; We have the option of buying stamps in the clear mount variety on acrylic blocks; AND we have a new punch design that is so much easier to store!!! No wonder this is our biggest mini yet!

I'll be back soon with more great new products to show you!
Happy Stamping,
