Sneak Peek 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue - Swing Set

On Saturday I went to the Sydney On Stage Local event - what a great day!  I met up with 16 other Crazy Crafters, saw the new Catalogue and got to play with some of the products!  And, as if that weren't enough, I came home with several free stamp sets!

This is one of the stamp sets that we all received.  It's called Sitting Here and I believe that as time goes by, we'll all be finding more and more ways to use this set.  Also included in the set, although I didn't use them this time, there is a cute cat and a little dog as well as a plant and a basket.  The animals are designed such that they could easily be sitting on the swing chair.  There are three other great sentiments in the set too.

On this particular occasion I decided to pair the new with the old.  The wonderful and versatile Happy Home stamp set that I have enjoyed using in many different compositions, is retiring.

I'm a little sad about some of the retiring products but they're more than compensated for by all the wonderful new things in the catalogue.  My wish list is ENORMOUS!

I'll be providing some more sneak peeks over the coming weeks.

Meanwhile - the retiring products are listed in the online shop now and there are some great bargains to be had.  Some of the products are carrying a whopping 50% discount!  I encourage you to take a look and snaffle anything you want before they disappear for good.

'Til next time - I'll leave you with another sneak peek of a product suite that really excites me!.

Bohemian DSP - lots of bright, bold colours and patterns (and some more subdued patterns as well).

The embellishment comes in the new In-colours (I added a rhinestone because ... why not?!). Delightful Dijon is one of the new colours.

Sprinkles of Life cupcake, Bohemian DSP,

In-colour Blossom Accent

The photo doesn't do the glitter justice!

The cupcake is built using a really versatile stamp set called Sprinkles of Life. It can be rainclouds, ice creams, baskets of fruit ... and also has a lovely tree image.

Stampin' Up! make a donation to Ronald McDonald House with every sale of this stamp set. There is also a matching punch, which I haven't used yet.....

Build a Birthday, Boho Chic Embossing Folder

 OK, I've got a couple more very quick cards for you!

This one uses the Build a Birthday stamp set - another really versatile set with lots of options.  I've added some twisted up Lace Trim and embossed the card with the Boho Chic embossing folder.  These are some of the new In-colours: Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder and Mint Macaron.

You've Got This stamp set

This last one uses the You've Got This stamp set, which has the gorgeous flower, the useful grungey background and some supportive sentiments.  This time, I chose to use the birthday sentiment from the Build a Birthday set.  I used the same In-colours while I had them open.  And I do love a bit of bling - so I added a rhinestone to the blossom embellishment again.

Stay tuned for some more sneak peeks over the next few weeks and remember to order your copy of the catalogue - you're going to LOVE it!
