New 2103-2014 Catalogue Release

The new 2103-2014 Catalogue was released yesterday and it is filled with so many wonderful new products!

Here are a couple of samples I've made using the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape.  The tape is so pretty and can be used in many ways for quick and simple cards and many other projects too.







This first card  is made by using the Top Note Die run through the Big Shot and then covered by strips of Designer Washi Tape in Gingham Garden .  I used the Blossom Punch  for the large flower and do you see the new Artisan Label Punch for the sentiment?  The sentiment itself is part of a new stamp set called Label Love.

My Butterfly card was made for our team meeting swaps last weekend.  I used the Beautiful Wings die to cut out the shape of the butterfly, then used strips of the Gingham Garden Designer Washi Tape to cover it.

Do you notice the pretty flower in the centre?  We now have Simply Pressed Clay and it teams up with the Buttons & Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay Moulds!  These are so fun to work with!  The clay is pure white and by adding a few drops of any of our reinkers or Stamp Write Markers you can match them to any project.  Awesome!

The cute little arrow is from the new stamp set Hello Lovely and the sentiment is from Bring on the Cake.

One of the new Designer Series Papers is called Gingham Garden and it coordinates with the Washi Tape and new stamp set called Kind and Cozy.  All so very pretty and will make so many gorgeous projects.  There is also a new stampin wheel called Gingham.

I have used the Gingham Garden DSP on this card and once again the Artisan Label Punch and Label Love stamp set.  The number 4 is from the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die run through the Big Shot. The Happy Birthday is from a new Hostess Set called Express Yourself.

You can see what I mean about the lovely colours in this DSP.   Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Pear Pizzaz and Whisper White.

Now for one other card I have just finished.  The stamp set is called Love and Sympathy.  It is not a new stamp set but I have only just purchased this one and it is very lovely indeed.  Sadly, my dear Auntie Glory has recently passed away and so it was time for me to make sympathy cards and this set is perfect.  The Wisteria Wonder DSP used in the background is no longer available but was just right for my project.  I always try to match my envelopes to my cards, I don't like sending out nude envelopes if I can help it!

Finally, this card was made from the Simply Sketched stamp set.  Again not a new set, but one I have only just acquired, it has three pretty sketched images in it.  I will show you the others in a  later blog.

Well I hope you are inspired with these samples to temp your mojo again.

Have a look at the new catalogue when you can and you are sure to be placing your orders really soon so you can get on crafting!.
