I hope you’ve had a fabulous Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.

My December has been extremely busy helping with a local pantomime (oh yes it has!) that I’ve not had time to post things here.  As the pantomime finishes on New Year’s Day, I’ll hopefully be back to ‘normal’ a few days after that.

This will be perfect timing as New Year for Stampin’ Up! means a BRAND NEW Spring/Summer Catalogue and the annual Sale-a-Bration (SAB) offering.

I’m not allowed to show you online versions of the catalogues until they launch, but, I CAN show you projects using products from the new catalogues.

So here’s the first sneak peek…

It’s the Birthday card I made for my Niece who is now no longer a teenager.  As her Birthday is close to Christmas, I used the new SAB Lots of Lavender Stamp Set and bright colours.

The Stamp Set has a lovely lavender image I stamped in Basic Gray, it then uses fill-in stamps to colour the lavender, leaves and bow really quickly.

I’ve used Wisteria Wonder and Wild Wasabi and stamped them off beforehand to soften the images.

For a contrast and to brighten the project, I chose Berry Burst and used Cardstock, Washi Tape and Ribbon.  A touch of Wink of Stella added a little bit of sparkle to the lavender flowers.

Pop back soon for more sneak peeks from the new catalogues.

Happy crafting
