Splendid Stamping

If you read my other blog you will know that since June my life has been turned upside down by a family member’s illness. It has meant that I have been away on and off for the last few months.

I am happy to report that as of yesterday, everything is back to some sort of normality and everyone is doing well.

That means that yesterday I was finally able to pick up some ink, play around with some punches and throw myself into the new catalogue.  It was {delicious} to have some ‘colour therapy’.

I have started planning my upcoming classes and am SO excited by the new design themes and tools.

With new stamp sets, a total colour renovation, new punches and fabulous die cuts for the Big Shot, I have a busy {creative} year ahead.

Do you have a new catalogue yet ? You can purchase one at a class for $12.95, get one for free if you host a class or have one posted to you anywhere in Australia for $15.00. If you can’t wait, you can download the new catalogue HERE.

Happy Stampin!

The first two cards are made using the Vintage Vogue set from the new Autumn/ Winter catalogue. Check out the whole book under the ‘catalogue’ tab at the top of the page.

I LOVE the ivy stamp and know that I will get a lot of use out of it on my cards as well as my scrapbook pages.

The last card is using the ‘Embrace Life’ set. It doesn’t show up in the poor photo, but the top edge flowers are cut away to reveal the green underneath.

So what do you think of this colour combination ? I really LOVE the new razzleberry colour and know that it will show up quite a bit in my upcoming projects.
