Starburst Sayings - another Occasions catalogue sample

These Starburst Sayings and matching Framelits are fun.


I had fun mixing up the shapes and sizes along with the Fresh Prints DSP, all of which are coming in the Occasions catalogue out tomorrow!

This is a collection of notelets I made for popping into customer orders.

 
I think the spots on the DSP lend themselves to the circular patterns.  And the best way to finish off a handmade card?  A lined envelope!  These lined envelopes are made using the Envelope Liners Framelits which include the small size perfect for our mini envelopes.  Scroll down to the end of this post to read about the envelope liners die special!

We're increasing the Envelope Liners Framelits Dies discount to 40%!
There are three dies in every pack of Envelope Liners Framelits (132218). The liners were originally designed to coordinate with our envelopes. We've discovered that the largest die, though it fits the envelope, doesn't coordinate as it should-our envelopes have a rounded edge and the die has a square edge. ( I hadn't even thought this to be a problem!) Since it does not coordinate with our envelopes, we decided to provide a discount on the entire pack.
We are planning on correcting the largest die; until then the discount will remain valid. When the die is corrected, it will have a new item number and the price will change, all of which will be communicated in a current update when the product is available.
 
That means that this set of dies...
 
 

is now available for $27.95!

Word Bubble Framelits

Here's a really simple idea using the Word Bubble Framelits coming soon in the Occasions catalogue, starting January 28th.


I am sending this to my hubby who has returned to work after a very relaxing holiday.


  • For the monochromatic background I cut out a variety of shapes using the Word Bubble Framelits.
  • It's important to lie them out on your card first to work out where they will fit.  A bit like a jigsaw puzzle!
  • Pop them up on Dimensionals to give them depth.
  • The Whisper White and Real Red provide a striking contrast which makes the sentiment pop!
Just Sayin' stamp set and co-ordinating framelits will be available at the end of the month.

Simple 'For You'

This was a quick card I made for my niece using one of my favourite all times stamps which has returned in the Best of Sale-a-Bration set.


I love this DSP pattern with the blurry spots.  So fresh and bright.  It's coming soon in the new Occasions Catalogue.

The stamp us easy to ink up in different colours using the Stampin' Write Markers.


What better way to finish off a homemade card than with a lined envelope.  Using the largest size of Envelope Framelits die I was able to add the perfect touch to our Whisper White Envelopes.
 
Are our envelope liners dies on your wish list??  Here's some great news!

Fresh Prints Gift Tags

These were inspired by a beautiful set of tags I saw on Pinterest made by Mercedes Weber.



Fresh Prints is one of the DSPs in the new Occasions Catalogue.  Love the mix of Coastal Cabana and Real Red.


The sneak peeks here?

  • The Starburst Sayings stamp set is cut out using the co-ordinating Starburst Framelits for a funky feel.
  • Fresh Prints DSP comes in a paper stack - just the right size for cards and choc full of stunning patterns. 
  • The tag top is created using the Angled Tag Topper Punch.  Create a tag of any length by slipping a 2" wide piece of cardstock into the punch.  Even the hole is cut for you!  I predict lots of tags appearing in blogland!
  • Not a sneak peek, but did you notice the Real Red and Bermuda Bay candy dots for a finishing touch?

These new products will be available from January 28th by contacting me or through my online store.  The current products are listed below.  You can click on an image to read more or go to my online store.

Simple

Hey there!



Another sample from the upcoming Occasions Catalogue:  the Just Sayin' stamp set and co-ordinatng Framelits.

I have had this teeny teddy stamp from before I joined Stampin' Up! but I knew he would be a perfect match for these word bubbles.



I kept it simple so that he looked small against the words.

Burlap and Blooms Simply Created Wreath

Coming up in our new Occasions Catalogue are some fantastic kits.  I have already shown you the Springtime Hello Simply Created Garland Kit HERE but here is another beautiful creation.

 
As the name suggests the Burlap and Blooms Simply Created Wreath is simple to create and comes with all the materials you need to create a beautiful 'burlap bound' wreath with a spray of blooms down one side.
 
All you need to complete the kit is a glue gun.  I also used one of our Silicon Craft Sheets to save getting glue all over my work space.



All up it took a couple of hours to make.  The kit contained pictures and clear directions.
 
Now I just need a nicer front door to hang it from!
 
This beautiful wreath kit will be available from January 28th.  If you'd like to see it in the flesh I am holding a catalogue launch at my place on the 1st of February.  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com for more details.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Super Simple Tags


Celebrate the Everyday is the name of our upcoming mini catalogue and one of my FAVOURITE items is the Tag Topper Punches.  These punches will punch the top of any length cards stock, providing a pretty top and a hole for your ribbon.  Popping one of these on a gift would surely help any celebration.

The tag is made up of two different lengths of paper:  a layer of Whisper White and underneath a layer of DSP.  The is a 1.5cm difference in their lengths, allowing the DSP to poke out the bottom.


A few sneak peeks from the upcoming mini:

Watercolor Wonder DSP:  The watercolor images from this DSP are gorgeous!

Scalloped Tag Topper Punch:  Insert a 2" piece of cardstock, any length, and punch to get a beautiful shape for the top of your tag.


Happy Watercolor Stamp Set:  You'll be amazed at how you can get a watercolour image from these stamps, such are their quality. The set is so versatile with watercolour images, flowers and sentiments.  Great value.

Silver Baker's Twine:  Silver and gold Baker's Twine is coming.


Wouldn't it be handy to have a set of gift tags in your drawer ready for gift giving.


The sneak peek products will be available from January 28th which is also the start of Sale-a-Bration!

The other products are listed below!  Click on them to reach my online store, or order from me by email wheatonanna@hotmail.com or by phoning 07 55 765 469.

Thanks for stopping by and keep checking in for more sneak peeks!
