Huge thank you to everyone that joined in the fun on Saturday to help celebrate the launch of the new Annual Catalogue. It’s always so exciting to have so many new and exciting products to play with, different things to play with, definitely Christmas in July!
The ladies who came along made 3 different projects in addition to having a goodie bag that contained among other things a survival pack and a raffle ticket for door prizes. The survival packs were assembled and embellished by a lovely friend and her daughter – so a big thank you to Miss Elizabeth for all her assistance, it was gratefully received (yes I stole your picture of it Sharon as I forgot to take any pictures of the bags or displays on the day!)
The first make and take was an in-color bookmark that had card stock, ink and ribbon samples of the new colours (my personal favourite is Blackberry Bliss), the base of the bookmark was done on MDS and CASEd from an idea I saw online by a demonstrator Andi P. in 2012. It uses the butterflies from Kinda Eclectic and Papillion Potpourri.
The next was made using the beautiful Blackberry Bliss and the awesome Gorgeous Grunge, Everything Eleanor and the lovely new sentiment set And Many More – where all 23 of the sentiments fit inside the Word Window Punch – got to love that! This card was CASEd from Connie S. I saw her version last month and admired how simple and clean it was and how lovely the stamping off looked.
The last card used the new Traveler stamp set and I did up two versions of it by just changing the orientation of the card, some ladies changed it again and orientated things diamond way. It’s a simple one colour card that uses the Arrows embossing folder that carried over from the last mini catalogue. The card was CASEd from Deb. V.
There was also a super yummy offering of refreshments baked by a lovely friend Sue, I am very fortunate to have met some wonderful people through Stampin’ Up! and I even had customers helping to pack up the tables and displays at the end of the evening. Huge thank you to everyone as without you all it wouldn’t have been the same.
