September 4th sees the launch of some wonderful new Stampin Up products for the next few holiday occasions on the calendar.
Pre-order is a chance for us demo’s to get ourselves some of these products early and get familiar with them and prepare some samples. I loved too many things (as always!!) but needed to show restraint, so I went with the Nature’s Beauty stamp set as a starter and paired it with the stunning photo-real 6×6 papers ‘Feels Like Frost’. These stamps are this year’s charity stamp set with £2.50 from each set sold donated towards mental health organisations.
Just one bundle in my pre-order the ‘Itty Bitty Christmas’ Bundle’. To take you inside my thought process here, I’m great believer in having a good selection of Christmas Sentiments, and these are varied with gorgeous fonts too! The dies are so useable too, we have 3 cluster style main dies: snowflakes, mistletoe, and a swirly flower. There are a few single dies matching the cluster styles dies as well. The single swirly flower die has a lovely waste piece when its diecut that makes an amazing flower centre. I love that even the negatives of these dies can create some amazing possibilities.
Last but not least, the Brightly Gleaming Suite has some beautiful copper foil embossed 12×12 dsp and I had to have the Christmas Gleaming stamp set. This stamp set is bundled with a double punch pack, but I decided that I’m Ok with fussy cutting the baubles for now in order to make my pre-order budget go a touch further. You know how it goes, a girl would like it all, but the budget sadly won’t allow.
