Autumn-Winter Mini Launch

For those of you who missed our launch workshop on Wednesday, here is a look at some of the exciting new products available in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue. We used the new In-Colour 'Rich Razzleberry' (if you say it in an American accent it sounds so much better!!) and the new DSP 'Cottage Wall' which co-ordinates beautifully, as well as the matching polka dot grosgrain ribbon (the colour is not the best in these photos). The 'Extra-Large 2 step Bird' punch is awesome and so versatile and I love the new punch style too. The embossing folders are high quality (as you would expect) and leave a lovely crisp texture to the card. We had fun learning all about the clear-mount rubber stamps: I love love love them!! The clear blocks are way better than I expected and combined with the quality of Stampin' Up's rubber image.....I'm sold!!

These card designs are cased from my Upline Stephanie Pike, click here to see more of Steph's work.
I put white paper on the inside with matching stamped flowers as the RR cardstock is quite dark to write on.


We also made these gorgeous Pillow Boxes, the image is cut out and embossed and perforated along fold lines using the "Bigz Dies" designed for the Sizzix Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine. I was a bit 'iffy' about this purchase; but now I totally love it, I have made heaps of these. I remember hand cutting this pattern when I first joined Stampin' Up! I think I made one then decided it took way too long to fold a curved edge neatly!!!! But now I don't have to worry - yeeeha!! I'm all about the quick and easy LOL (The colour Rich Razzleberry is more true in this photo too)
Here are a couple of other designs of the Pillow Box:

I hope you've got a little inspiration to go and make your own now. Call or email me if you would like to place an order of any of the products used above. Bec
