Before I show you, though, I want to share some exciting
news; when the October issue of Papercraft Inspirations comes out today, my
blog will be featured! It’s the first time I’ve ever had one of my cards in a
national magazine so I’m pretty chuffed, to be honest. So a warm welcome to
anyone who has found my blog through the magazine.
Now the card – and it’s a Christmas one using the new
Scentsational Season bundle from the new Autumn/Winter catalogue, which goes live on Saturday. I enclosed one of these with each of the
catalogues I sent out to my Virtual Hostess Club members. They are only card
fronts (still guarding my new In Color™ cardstock very carefully!) and I fully
intended to write on the front, postcard-style. But, when the time came, I just
couldn’t do it. I didn’t want my scruffy handwriting ruining the cards... and I
thought the recipients could recycle the card fronts by mounting them onto a
full-sized card base, if they wished.
The strips of paper are from a gorgeous new pack of DSP –
and every piece shown is from the same sheet. Well, you didn’t think I’d be
cutting into more than one sheet just yet, did you?

Ok, I'll comment, .... thanks for my catty and I have to say I'm a bit unsure about the new colours (may need to see them for real and see some samples) though I'll probably warm to them. To be honest I am a bit disappointed with the new stuff - there's so much in it that's just not me and can honestly say there's only a couple of things that I really like and feel are worth investing in. The Halloween stuff is really cute but in this country we're a long way behind the states for celebrating this occasion sadly.
ReplyDeleteI do like your samples though and I am looking forward to the next big catty. ;)
Ooh I like these little cards you made - simple but very nice! Big CONGRATS on your publication too!! VERY exciting!!
ReplyDeleteGot my catalogue too and loved it. Corry and I particularly liked your card and were very excitedly looking through the catalogue to work out what you had used. Just need to put our orders in now - soo exciting
ReplyDeletewell done - your sneak previews are great - hope you had a great holiday in Brittany best wishes Lesley x
