New Catalogue Order

I got to put in an order for the new catalogue on Friday.
I couldn't decide on which stamp set I wanted to buy first so instead I picked up some more things for my Big Shot.
This is a big Shot


It has different dies to cut out baskets, hearts, tags, stars, flowers, birds, snowflakes, letters etc.
Click Here to see what is currently available.

Tomorrow, when the new catalogue is officially "released" I'll post pictures of some of the new die cuts and other great things.

I purchased Texturz pads. These are pads that you run through your bigshot to create embossed paper. they are double sided so with 4 pads you get 8 patterns. It's pretty neat and I can't wait for them to get here.

Hopefully, by next order I will have picked which stamp set to get first.

I've been busy planning cards for a workshop/demonstration I am doing the beginning of February. We will do a valentine's card using an easy water colour technique, a card with the new sweet stems set and Big shot as well as a Chalkboard technique on a card.

Here is an example of the chalkboard technique

It is done with white craft ink and pastels or chalk.

If you are interested in learning any of these techniques or having a class of your own let me know.

I will also be starting a Stamp Club in April, space is still available for that as well if you are interested.

Remember, everybody can be crafty sometimes.
