Spring Catalogue Products You Don't Wanna Miss Out On...

Hey everyone, todays blogpost is to remind you that products from the Spring Mini Catalogue are only available until the end of this month - that's right YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL MONDAY TO GET IN ORDERS FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU LOVE FROM THE SPRING MINI CATTY!! (and to take advantage of the April promotion - a FREE pack of 'DSP' with orders of £45...)

So today i'm going to share with you some of my favourite products that i would hate for you to miss out on:

First up the 'Create A Cupcake' stampset and the coordinating 'Cupcake Punch':

This stamp set and coordinating punch are so versatile you can make a whole range of projects using them – such as cupcakes, hot air balloons and clouds, pots of flowers and more. Here are two projects that have previously been featured on my blog using these products:

Cupcake Card:

Hot Air Balloon Card:

Another project i have loved crafting with from the Spring Mini Catalogue is the 'Spice Cake DSP':

These 12x12 double sided papers have a seventies feel to them and i think they're fab! You can purchase a coordinating stampset, fabric and buttons too!! Check out this project i made with them:

Or why not treat yourself to the 'Perfect Postage' stampset and coordinating 'Postage Stamp':

I have just loved using these products (the images from the stampset are suitable to make a whole range of projects such as baby cards, valentine and anniversary cards, easter cards and birthday cards) to make crafty makes like this card:

So here are just a few of my recommendations! I love every single product within the Spring Mini and will be so sad to see them all go! So don't forget if you want to add these products to your crafty stash you HAVE to make an order by Monday. Online versions of the catalogue are available on the righthand side of this blog.

Fionas Spice Cake TopNote Card!

Today i have a fabulous card to share with you that a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Fiona shared with us at Jade's craft get together last weekend. It features the totally versatile 'Top Note Die' and the fanciful 'Spice Cake DSP' from the Spring Mini Catalogue:

I  haven't used this papers before but i have to say i've been completely converted. I love the vintage seventies feel that these designs have to offer!!

So here is the beautiful card we made:

We used a 'Soft Suede' cardbase and folded it in half and then folded the front side of the card in half again to create this unusual card design.

Here's a front few:

We layered some 'Spice Cake DSP' on the front 1/4 of the card, a strip on the edge of the inside edge and the edge on the lefthand edge. To create the front of the card we ran some a piece of 'Soft Suede', a piece of 'Spice Cake DSP' and 'Very Vanilla' card through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Top Note Die'. I cut around the 'DSP' 'Top Note' perforated edge to create a smaller top note shape and mounted it onto the 'Soft Suede' 'Top Note' and then glued it onto the front of the class. In the centre of this i placed a 'Soft Suede' 'Scallop Circle', some 'Very Vanilla' 'Seaming Ribbon' and then stamped the birthday sentiment (from the 'Happiest Birthday Wishes' stampset' in 'Soft Suede' ink onto 'Very Vanilla' card, punching it out with the 'Scallop Circle Punch'.

We stamped the small flower image from the 'Spice Paisley' stampset all over the inside of the card using 'Soft Suede' ink to create a background and then glued the 'Very Vanilla' 'Top Note', stamping another small flower in the corner.

Here's a view of the completed card open, so you can hopefully make sense of my wittering instructions!:

I really enjoyed playing with these papers. Thankyou Fiona for sharing this wonderful creation with us!! I will most definately be using this type of layout again! Watch this space!!

And don't forget products in the mini catalogue are only available until the end of April so if you want to get your crafty mits on these fab papers then make an order sooner rather than later!!! Email me today: amyjtidd@gmail.com
