Welcoming the New

Happy New Year to you all.

As we welcome in the New Year, the excitement mounts as we look forward to the launch of the 2018 Occasions catalogue and the start of this years Sale-a-Bration.
The occasions catalogue is full of lovely stamps, paper, tools and embellishments to enable us to create an abundance of projects for all those up coming occasions - Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Easter, Father's Day and weddings and birthdays over the spring and early summer.

In the 4 years that I have been a demonstrator, the Sale-a-Bration offering has just got better and better. This year the collection that is available for you to choose from when you  place an order of £45 or more,  is beautiful. Also, for the first time, if you spend £90 there are 2 higher value options to choose from - a double stamp set or a set of dies.
Of course Sale-a-bration isn't just about freebies when you make a purchase. If you host an event and achieve sales of £200, you automatically get £20 extra to spend on products of your choice,
And for those of you who really have an eye for best value, then consider joining up. Not only does your £99 buy you £130 of product of your choice, but you also get to pick 2 stamp sets of your choice. If those choices are from the higher value stamp sets you can easily have twice the value of product for your money.



But what about a sneak peek of some of the new products......




I created this card for a shoe box swap we had at a Christmas team event. The stamp set is called "Lots of Lavender" and is one of the sale-a-bration sets you can earn with a £45 order. The greeting comes from the set called "Picture Perfect Birthday" and that is to be found in your Spring/Summer Occasions catalogue.  The embossing folder is one of 2 folders you get in the Petal Pair embossing folder collection. also in the spring/summer catalogue. The ribbon, also new, is whisper white 1/4 " organza. The stitched ovals and scalloped ovals are of course old favourites, as are the scattering of rhinestones. 
The card base is elegant eggplant cardstock and the embossed layer is wisteria wonder. The sentiment stamp and outline image of the lavender were all stamped in elegant eggplant. The "colouring" was created by the stamps in the set for this purpose. I used wisteria wonder for the flowers, always artichoke for the leaves and rose red for the bow.

I really like this pretty little watercolour effect card and can see this stamp set becoming a favourite.
