Have you seen the latest blog hop?

A blog hop is when a group of crafters get together, all create a project with a similar theme or link, and then post it on their blog on the same day, each linking to the next person so that people can 'hop' around and look at all the lovely inspiration.

Want to see the latest blog hop featuring the lovely new goodies in the new mini catalogue? Start at the first person here - there are four fantastic blog hops going on this time so each person below starts a new chain!

Have you noticed that ALOT of these lovely projects are made using the new Big Shot die cutting machine? That's because we all love it! And you can use all dies from other cutting machines in it too. Take a look at this video to see how it all works and you will see why we think it's so great...

The new mini catalogue has arrived!

Welcome to the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue!

We've been waiting eagerly for Stampin' Up! to release the new mini catalogue and it has finally arrived, packed full of amazing products - there is so much to love! Take a look for yourself!

Mini Catalogue 2011

The biggest thing to arrive is – of course – THE BIG SHOT die-cutting machine!!! As Stampin' Up! fans we have been waiting with baited breath for this to be introduced to the UK catalogue, and finally we have it! This is going to be amazing for projects and I especially can't wait to demonstrate my next two craft classes to you which I've created with these new dies! For those that don't know, it's a machine which you run shaped dies through and it cuts and/or embosses your shape for you. That's p6 onwards – I have already fallen in love with the mini pillow box die, the scallop envelope, the mini milk carton die – and as a demonstrator I've been lucky enough to have a play a month before they were released. Like what you see?

The fun flowers die produces some stunning results, especially when you layer them all together (a class coming soon!) The textured embossing folders on p10 are always brilliant – just fantastic for imprinting a raised dotted, square or flower pattern onto card! There is so much to mention that I love, but I think you should simply take a look for yourself – don't miss other personal favourites of mine which are the Four Frames stamps and punch on p11, the STUNNING 'Springtime vintage' patterned paper, huge buttons and matching twine on p16 and how can you miss the 'Oh Sew Suite' matching stamps and papers on p27?

Go and look now! Now, because I know you are going to be tempted by soooo much in the catalogue – I'm offering you a special offer for a very limited time only:

Save 10% on all orders placed in the first week of April!

This offer lasts until midnight on 7th April, so grab your catalogue, decide on what you want to order and then email or call me to arrange your order. The standard postage and packing applies to all orders (£4.95). Those of you who have requested real life copies, they are being posted out tomorrow. What better reason to get your hands on the mini catalogue products NOW?

choose an exclusive Sale-A-Bration set. This is in addition to the already fabulous hostess rewards!
