1st October - Release of the NEW IB&C!

Yipee, I can't believe it's now officially the 1st of October, which only means ONE thing: YES, the brand new Idea Book & Catalogue is now ready to view/purchase/order from today :) See left hand side to view the Catalogue online.

It's been agony these last few days especially as I've been making so many lovely new projects from new goodies and I've not been able to showcase them here, but now it's October, I can!!!

Below is finally a picture of the front cover of my copy of the new Idea Book & Catalogue, which looks lovely and brand new still, lol. It helps that it's covered in a protective plastic sleeve, like those found on library books, so hopefully it'll keep mine looking new for sometime :)

Contempo Christmas

Good afternoon, what a miserable first day of October!

Well, seeing as it's pouring with rain outside, I don't feel so bad showing you a *cough* Christmas card that I've made recently using a new stamp set from the newly released Idea Book & Catalogue!!!

The stamp set is called Contempo Christmas which is a set of four stamps and co-ordinates lovely with a matching wheel and ornament punch which saves cutting out the bauble by hand!

Here is the card I made using the traditional Christmas colours: Old Olive, Real Red and Whisper White.

Contempo Christmas


Stamps: Contempo Christmas (set of 4 stamps, P25).
Cardstock: Old Olive, Real Red and Whisper White.
Inkpad: Olive Olive.
Accessories: Ornament Extra-Large Punch, 3/16" Corner Small Punch, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Real Red, Linen Thread, Paper-Piercing Tool, Mat Pack, Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D Dimensionals.
Card Size: 4.5" x 4.5".

Here's the Contempo Christmas stamp set as seen on P.25 in the new Idea Book & Catalogue:


Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

See you tomorrow with uploads of the new cards my ladies will be making in tomorrow's Class :)

11 New Products - Reminder

Hi all,

Just wanted to remind any of you that have been eyeing up the Last Chance List/Idea Book & Catalogue/Mini Catalogue recently for anything that you want before items discontinue in the next few days that we still have the following items to buy that you may have over looked:

• Melon Mambo 1/2" (1.3 cm) Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115611)
• Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115613)
• Soft Suede 1/2" Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon (item 115612)
• Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper (item 115671)
• Flower Fantasy Printed Window Sheets (item 115705)

The Polka Dot Ribbons are gorgeous, and although the colours are new and are part of the Colour Renovation, these ribbons will not be in the new Catalogue (available to see on my blog from Friday). The same with the Cottage Wall Designer Series Papers, these are really lovely, so much so, that I've not really cut into mine! lol If you'd like to buy any of the above products listed now before it's too late, please let me know.

Here's a peek of what the Polka Dot Ribbons and DSP look like:


Have a good day.

Bye for now,

They're here - Brand New Idea Book & Catalogues!!!

Hi all,

What a lovely day I've had today. Started off well with a little visit from Mr UPS Man with a box full of brand new Idea Book & Catalogues!!! Oh, I was in my element earlier and couldn't wait to open up the box and flick through a real copy of the Catalogue :) It's so much nicer to see the Catalogue in real life - smelling that new smell and turning over the crisp shiny pages than scrolling through the Catalogue on a computer screen, lol.

I have been busy making lots of new projects for my Open House Afternoon that I have planned very soon. I have Pre-Ordered a little and have been busy today making a number of cards to show off in a couple of weekends time. I'm loving the new Colour Renovation by the way and think I have a few new favourite colours :)

No sneak peeks I'm afraid, so apologies for the lack of posts and new uploads to my Blog as I can't upload new products from the new Idea Book & Catalogue until 1 October. I have been updating the top post as and when I hear that items off the Last Chance List have sold out. Hopefully come 1st October, I'll be uploading the new Idea Book & Catalogue for you to view online, and new cards I've been making.

If you'd like to get your hands on a brand new Catalogue, please let me know as I am posting them out very soon.

Bye for now,

Alex

The wait is nearly over...

Hello all,

I have been counting down the days till 1 October for so long I can't even remember when it all began :)

Anyway, only a little while to go and it will officially be Thursday 1 October when the release of the new Idea Book & Catalogue will be available to you all :) I can't wait to start showing off new projects with the goodies and certainly can't wait till my workshop on the 10th!

With the excitment of a new catalogue, Stampin Up! Press Office have selected three online crafting bloggers for a blog hop today!

Three crafting bloggers will preview a selection of never seen before products from the new Idea Book & Catalogue. These bloggers will have received their new products at 6pm this evening and will have six hours to create as many projects as they would like to showcase on their blogs!

I can't wait to see what they create... Please join in the excitement of the newly awaited Idea Book & Catalogue and follow their blogs from midnight tonight where they will be showing off their new creations from goodies from the new Catalogue :) Lots of blog candy up for grabs too!

I shall be back soon with their blog details.

Until then,

Alex
