So my pre-order for the new Stampin’ Up! Annual 2020-2021 Catalogue arrived on Friday…and I’m not sure what the poor box did to Australia Post, but this is how it arrived…
Fortunately most of the items were still inside so I could actually create and play with the new items I purchased…being Covid19 affected my income stopped on March 13th, but the good news is I had some demonstrator bonuses and for less than $20 I got this awesome package of goodies (not including the cost of the catalogues for customers & the Beginner Brochure pictured is my personal copy)…so still lots of new things to play with even on a limited budget!
The first stamp set I went to play with is called Comfort & Hope and I know it isn’t Christmas, but I like to use stamp sets in lots of different ways to get maximum value from them, so I teamed up the wheat grass image from the set with the new Old World Paper embossing folder and the Word Wishes dies in the new Cinnamon Cider card stock and ribbon colour to create a Christmas wreath card.
The new Cinnamon Cider ribbon is so lovely and soft and ties really well. The word dies I layered up on themselves with Gold Foil and Whisper White to create a raised sentiment and then went over it with Wink of Stella (so grateful that is carrying over) and I know metallics don’t photograph well, but here’s a close up so you can sort of see what I mean.
I fussy cut ten of the gold heat embossed wheat grass images, but then it was Sunday afternoon and I am caught up on most household chores, well except ironing, there’s always that to do! I have lots more ideas for my new toys and hope to share them with you soon.
If you would like a copy of the new Annual Stampin Up! catalogue releasing June 3rd or are new to papercrafting and would like a Beginner Brochure, please email me and I will organise that for you.
