It’s almost a week until the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Mini catalogue is released and I’m so excited!  Here’s a little sneak peek of three products from the new Spring Mini catalogue: the oval scallop punch, the butterfly stamp and the ‘fabulous friend’ stamp which fits perfectly into Stampin’ Up!’s large oval punch.

To make this card I started with Very Vanilla cardstock in the background and I used the Spritzing Tool with a Barely Banana marker to make the splatter background.  The wavy green textured cardstock was cut wavy using Stampin’ Up!’s Cutter Kit which is great for freehand cutting.  I stamped the tree trunk in Chocolate Chip ink using a trunk from the Trendy Trees stamp set.  I really love the way this stamp set has the tree trunks and tree tops separate, it gives me so much more flexibility in my stamping.  Anyway, I just added some cute Stampin’ Up! flower buttons instead of a tree top to make a simple but sweet tree.  The butterfly stamp is new from the Spring Mini catalogue and is from a stamp set called Great Friend and that’s been stamped in Riding Hood red ink onto vanilla cardstock then I just coloured in the leaves with a blender pen and the Kiwi Kiss inkpad then added a touch of glitter.

Hope you like my card   If you’d like your own free copy of the new Spring Mini catalogue (and you live anywhere in Australia!), please email me and I’ll get on one in the mail to you.
