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.

Workshop - Greenhouse Garden

Morning all,

Hope you've got something nice planned for this weekend :)

Just stopping by to show off the finished gift for the recent Hostess, using Greenhouse Garden stamp set with a couple of sentiment stamps and some co-ordinating punches. As the lady likes pink and green, have made three cards in three different shades of pink and green to show off the lovely colours that Stampin' Up! has to offer. Some of these colours will retire at the end of September as part of our new Colour Renovation, so if you love them and need to stock up on these colours and co-ordinating accessories, please let me know ;)

So, below are the three cards and matching box, thanks to Jo for the tutorial.

Vintage Vogue - New Colours.

Yay: Happy Saturday everyone and welcome to the weekend :)

After receiving the new colours from Stampin' Up! recently, I couldn't wait to break open the packaging to play with my new favourite colour - YES, I'm in love with Melon Mambo! This new colour is one of three new colours that was released earlier this month and I teamed it up with another new colour called Soft Suede and an old favourite of mine, Barely Banana to make a card using Vintage Vogue - a stamp set I haven't played with in a little while :)

So, here's the card below using some of the new colours and accessories - don't you just love that Polka Dot Ribbon?!?
