So Excited for the New Mini Catalogue

Its New Mini Catalogue day. one of my favourite days of the year as you get to see all the gorgeous items in the New Catalogue. From new stamps and dies, to gorgeous hedgehog and ladybird punches, these items are definitely worth a glance to see if they are lovely enough to join your crafty stash.

I personally am in love with the Hedgehogs and can not wait to get into my craft room to play with them.

I am also in love with the new Layering Butterflies and Flowers Masks. The video below was created by Stampin’ Up! to showcase the new stencils.

These are some of my favourite new items, which are yours?

Hope Box Paper Pumpkin

Stampin’ Up! are really spoiling us this year for Paper Pumpkins, there are currently three available, one of them is on clearance. The newest available Paper Pumpkin kit is The Hope Box.

The Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Kit was inspired by Stampin’ Up! cofounder, Shelli Gardner, whose vision was to add more hope into the world. It contains everything you need to create 9 gorgeous cards. The added bonus is that when the cards are completed you can decorate the gorgeous box and you will still have the stamp set to create other beautiful cards with!

The picture below shows the contents of the kit. Stampin’ Up! have also released a video to show the kit too.

Such a gorgeous Paper Pumpkin kit, which is your favourite?

Love Santa Kit

Oooooo Stampin’ Up! are spoiling us again. They have released another new kit which creates some stunningly gorgeous tags. The Love, Santa Tag Kit from Stampin’ Up!’s kit collection is another all inclusive kit. All inclusive kits have the embellishments, ink pads, ribbons and block you need to create the gorgeous gorgeous tags. My favourite part is that you can reuse the stamps after the kit has been used up to create more gorgeous items. I have a fabulous collection of kit stamps which make gorgeous cards, I store them all together in an stamp case.

It has been suggested that the tag toppers could be cut off and the tags added to a card. I am not sure about this yet, my kit is still in my box (I am attempting to finish off some cards before I get distracted with new gorgeous items). I will experiment with them when I have the chance, but I do think that the example tags, look amazing!

As with all kits, I recommend that you will need a bone folder, a pair of scissors and some liquid glue. Although liquid glue is not specifically recommended, I use it to ensure that I have a little wriggle room when sticking items together.

The video below shows the Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglass showing how to put together the kit step-by-step.

There are also a collection of gorgeous bags, which would be perfect to wrap up presents or make items for Christmas Eve boxes. I love the car the most, which is your favourite?
