Oh Happy Day Card Kit Assembled. Stampin' Up! Australia.

I have been filming and assembling the "Oh Happy Day" card kit today. It is an all-inclusive Kit and I have nick-named it the "most amazing card kit ever" as I had so much fun putting it together, and the designs are gorgeous! There are 4 different sizes of cards and envelopes, and there are 2 styles of fun-fold: A heart-shaped tri-fold card, and a matchbook card, as well as a medium and large sized regular card design. There are a total of 20 cards in the kit! 

It will be available on June 1st in the new catalogue.

Last of the Sale-A-Bration Card Projects.

Sale-A-Bration Cards in a box! These little 3" x 3" cards were just calling out to be made. I stamped the envelopes to match and tucked them into a criss-cross box. Quick and Easy! We made these in class some time ago and I thought I would share them with you today.

Sneak Peek: New Designer Series Paper and Embossing Folder!

 This card was made at the Onstage Event at the Hilton Hotel in the company of 9 lovely new stamping friends, who happened to be sitting at my table. It features a new paper suite called "Affectionately Yours", which is a specialty paper with copper highlights embossed into the design. It works beautifully with mint macaron and watermelon wonder cardstock. The card also features a new embossing folder: "Floral Affection," which has lots of possibilities for sponging, watercoloring and similar techniques. Another couple of products that will be available to co-ordinate with this suite are copper embossing powder, and fine copper thread.
