This month our theme is using new products from our brand new AUTUMN/WINTER MINI CATALOGUE. This brand new ctalogue starts from Thursday 1st April, so if you want anything from it please let me know. I'd love to hear from you. I Love this catalogue and I'm sure you'll be blown away by it too. If you would like a copy please don't hesitate to contact me either via this blog, email [email protected] or phone 0438 022 124 and I'll send you one asap. They have so much new stuff in this one it's unbelievable.
You have possibly just come from Gayatri Murali's blog but if you haven't that's fine because you can start the blog hop from here.
I have made 2 creations for this blog. I couldn't make up my mind which one to post so I've done the 2. Hope you enjoy them. They are both a card with matching box and gift cards.
First card is using Cottage garden stamp, Cottage Wall DSP, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Embossing Folder, Flower Fantasy printed window sheet and Rich Razzleberry ink all from the new catalogue together with white taffeta ribbon, Rhinestone brads, lear and white embossing powder, dazzling diamonds, scallop border, 5-petal flower and small and large oval punches, stampin dimensionals and words from Vintage Labels from the Sale a Bration catalogue (that finished today).
Box was made using Rich Razzleberry cardstock and Cottage Wall DSP with Cottage Garden stamps (all from the new catalogue) together with white taffeta ribbon, circle scallop and border scallop punches, clear emboss powder, dazzling diamonds, Rhinestone brads, Vellum, Whisper White cardstock, stampin pastels, vellum and Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry Inks and lots of double sided tape to secure.
The gift cards were Gift cards and mini envelopes, Cottage Wall DSP, Gottage Garden stamp, dazzling diamonds, crystal effects, ribbons,pearls, Rhinestone brads, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive cardstock and inks and stampin pastels.
The 2nd card was made using melon Mambo cardstock from the new catalogue with Pink Pirouette and Melon Mamb and Rich Razzlebery inks from the new catalogue together with Pink Pirouette ink. Stamps were Very Vintage and the Vintage Vogue roller from the new catalogue. I also used the Lots of tags from the Sizzlits 4-pack Diesand Stampin UpTop Note Bigz Dies all from the new catalogue. Wording is from Vintage Labels and I've used clear emboss powder, Stampin pastels, lots of dazzling diamonds, Rhinestone brad and stampin dimensionals. Hope you like this combination too.
Box is made using Melon Mambo cardstock with Pink Pirouette. Melon Mambo ribbon, Very Vintage and Vintage Vogue stamps, Versa Mark, Pink Pirouette ink sponged with Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo, Vellum, Rhinestone brads, and lots of dazzling diamonds and double sided tape again and stampin dimensionals.
Last but not least are the gift cards to go with this. This time I have used all 3 new in Colours from the new catalogue - Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede. I have again used Vintage Vogue and Very Vintage stamps and added Pink Pirouette, Kraft and Whisper White cardstock. Inks are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede, ribbons from new catalogue and wording from Sale a Bration's Vintage labels. Once again I have sponged flowers with darker colours over light and used white and clear emboss powder and dazzling diamonds, brads and pearls. I did the 3 colours and same stamps purposely to show how easy it is to make different cards using the same materials.
I hope you've enjoyed your stay at my blog hop and you have ideas on how to use your newcatalogue products. Remember, if I can help you in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me by details above.
I hope you remember to comment and then email Nikki for a chance to win our blog candy prize and look forward to hearing from you again this time next month for our April blog hop.

Wow! What an awesome box...or I guess I should say boxes! Both of them are wonderful but I really love the first one. You put in so much work on it and the results are stunning. I love the Garden Wall DSP and will be sorry when it retires.
