I’m sure you realise that we have a new Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue being released on Thursday April 1st (which happens to be my mum’s birthday) for the Australian & New Zealand Stampin’ Up! market. So what does that mean apart from some wonderful new products??

Blog Hops.

Yes, it is plural.

To start with, the team I’m part of which is run by the very talented and wonderful Marelle Taylor is holding a Blog Hop commencing at 9pm March 31st. Yep. That’s tomorrow night, so not long to wait now. We have 13 of our team participating in the Blog Hop and a special guest stamper, Teneale Williams, joining us too. Something new to our blog hop this time round, apart from Teneale that is, is that we are offering some ‘Blog Candy’. Details of how you can win will be included in the Blog Hop posts.

The next Blog Hop will be the ESAD-SU one which I will be participating in at 8am April 7th. They will also be having one at 8am April 1st and you can start that one from my fellow StampersAnonymous team mate, Juliette Chapman’s blog.

Would you like a sneak peek now??? No it’s not a sneak peek of my projects, you’ll have to come back and do the blog hops to see those, but it is a peek of a slight variation of one of the cards you can make at my Stamp-A-Stack class in April and it uses some of the gorgeous new products from the Autumn/Winter Mini. I have varied the card slightly for my mum’s birthday card with the sentiment.

For this card I’ve used a new stamp set, a lovely new In Color and a Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

What do you think??

Here’s how I finished the inside of the card.

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Vintage Vogue, On Your Birthday
Card: Rich Razzleberry, Very Vanilla, Pale Plum
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum, Mellow Moss
Accessories: Large Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.

Till next time….
