Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue

WOO HOOO!!!!! How excitement! The new Autumn/Winter Mini is here... and it is FABULOUS!!!! Not only that, but I am actually blogging again! Life gets in the way of papercraft sometimes... Can you imagine?
In case you are wondering why we have another Mini Catalogue instead of a new Idea Book & Catalogue, it is because Stampin' Up!® Australia are moving to be in line with the US catalogue time frame. So, we will be getting a new Idea Book & Catalogue in September, with this Autumn/Winter Mini to tide us over...
And what a tide!!!! An absolute flood of cool new tools and beautiful products!

The catalogue includes some things like:
Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine

Gorgeous Embossing Folders and Dies for the Big Shot

Clear Mount Stamps and Acrylic Blocks (stamp sets still have the wood-mount option)

3 new In Colors

Designer Hardware

And heaps more - punches in a new flat-store space saving design and DSP and ribbon....

Anyoo, I have had a wonderful time playing - here are some projects I have already made...
This is a trifold card, tied neatly shut with some of the new Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot ribbon. Rich Razzleberry is one of the new In-Colors, and I have used the ink to stamp the image from the new Vintage Vogue stamp set. I wiped the ink off the word 'friends' and reinked it in Old Olive with a marker. A purple Fire Circle Rhinestone Brad accents the corner. The card stock is Old Olive, Orchid Opulence and Whisper White. The gorgeous triangle pieces on the background of the card are from the Cottage Wall Designer Series paper pack. This paper also has a coordinating stamp set called Cottage Garden to match it.

This pic is of a part of a card I made using the Vintage Vogue stamp set again, but I have also used the new Extra-Large Two-Step Bird Punch, and the Big Shot Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Perfect Polka Dots plus the Big Shot Sizzlits Die Little Leaves. I just LOOOOVEEEE the Birdie punch - he is so stinkin' cute! I have stitched his wings with a chocolate marker, coloured in his beak and eye with the marker, and stamped a Vintage Vogue image on his wee little belly. The punch comes with a little branch for him to sit on too, but I used this bigger version so I could play with the Big Shot some more!!!! Tee hee!
The products and colours in the card include Kraft, Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Old Olive, with Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Old Olive inks and Baja Breeze striped ribbon.
