it's here - the new Spring/summer 2018 seasonal catalogue from Stampin'Up!

hi all

yeah - new year and time for Stampin' Up! new seasonal Spring/Summer catalogue for 2018. Jam packed pages full of lots of gorgeous themed products to get those creative juices flowing!

.. as always - packed full with great ideas for everything from Happy Birthdays, to Valentines, weddings and anniversaries, a new arrival, mother's and father's day and not forgetting Easter, lots of summer themed stamping, and just about everything in between.

If you would like your own copy just let me know and will send one out to you..
but you can also just click on the piccie to open up an online copy.

and Stampin' Up are always here to help with lots of suggestions scattered right through the catalogue on using all the new products, . All come in beautiful co-ordinated suites where you have a mix of everything from stamps to matching designer series papers, complementing dies and trims, card stock and embossing folders.

I think one of my favourite sets this time round just has to be the Sweet Soiree set - perfect for birthdays but just as lovely for a wedding or a special anniversary celebration. Create gorgeous paper cakes with the Cake Soirée Stamp Set and the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies. Plus, save 10% when you buy them in a bundle  Lots of lovely samples as in the piccie below

I  call it sweetness but without the calorie overload  - but why not check out the a little taster video by clicking on the image below, showing ideas of how to mix and match items from the set.

but if you need a helping hand and prefer it when a lot of the work is done for you why not consider one of Stampin' Up!'s All inclusive Kits like the Lots of Happy Card Kit.

There's lots to love here.. Create all-occasion cards, then add your own colour using the included Watercolour Pencils - Makes 20 cards, 4 each of 5 designs, using the included Lots of Happy Stamp Set! Idle your time away just  colouring in and producing a great set of  cards - easy and effective and you will want to make more am sure.
 

and if you run out of supplies and do want to make more there's even a Card refill kit to go with - how useful is that!

but in my  book no Spring Summer catalogue would be complete without a lovely  bunny or two and isn't this the most adorable image ever? this  looks so so realistic - you feel you could almost brush the fur!

Created with a technique known as 3 step stamping - start with the darkest colour first, using progressively lighter inks for steps 2 and 3  et voila,  a definite idea for A little something for your little someone. Imagine him in pinks or blues to welcome a new baby daughter or son. Just beautiful.

and with father's day later on in the season who doesn't find it a bit of challenge when it comes to cards for Dad's,  brothers, uncles, nephews and sons! well the Truly Tailored stamp set with its snappy sharp look and co-ordinating punch may just be the answer - take a look at some of these samples and find inspiration for some dapper styling of your own.

 

but there's so much more - as you go though it.  as always Stampin' Up! take out all the guess work out of what goes or co-ordinates with what 

they do that so you don't have to and get on with the creative side of it all.

how about the Tutti-Frutti suite - cute images and vivid colours designed for simple stamping. There's a set of Stampin' Ink spots (mini stamp pads) adhesive backed sequins, a designer series paper stack, toning ribbon, a specially chosen pack of matching card stock, washi tape and the most delightful Itty Bitty Punch pack - 4 little punches to easily help you punch fruit like shapes just ready to be coloured and decorated to add some zest to your summer themed projects.

well I hope this has given you a taster of what is what - and to all my lovely customers your copy should have reached you by now but if not please just let me know and will certainly put a copy in the post.

til next time
happy shopping and stampin' of course.
