Stampin' up Launch party

What a busy week it's been? 

The new 2016-17 Stampin' Up! Catalogue is now live and we have celebrated the release of some gorgeous new products.

There are so many great new stamps, inks and tools - it was hard to know where to start.

I am absolutely loving these New patterned papers called Affectionately Yours. There's a whole suite of products in this theme - a stamp set, copper embossing powder, copper foiled designer series paper, copper dotted washi tape and Floral affections textured embossing folders.

Everyone who came to the catalogue launch received a covered notebook featuring the affectionately yours papers and ruched ribbon.

We made three projects. A post-it note holder and two cards...

... show casing a new technique or two.

We tried some watercolour stamping with blocks and markers, a little bit of masking and lots of stamping!

We laughed as we tried to remember the latest in colour names...

Pickaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sugar Plum, Dapper Denim and Emerald Envy.

How will you remember those?

And there's a new card making kit with everything you need to make 20 cards including the ink, the stamp set, the clear block, adhesive and envelopes.

"Oh Happy Day!" Card kit is $61 which means when you've made all the cards you still have the stamps, ink and block, plus left overs to make some more of your own. I am taking mine with me when I go on holiday so I can make a card where ever I go... Even if it's just over to a friend's place for the morning :)

So we are all set with our new caty, our post it notes and inspiration to start creating.

Here's a pick of the lovely ladies who celebrated and created with me on Tuesday.

If you're wanting to join us to make cards, we get together on the first Tuesday of the month in Gosford NSW. And we're planning a Wednesday catch up in a fortnight's time, 22nd June.
