I am absolutely loving the stamp sets and Designer Series Papers in the Autumn Winter Mini Catalogue. The are just too pretty for words! I made a big stack of birthday cards a few weeks ago - remember this one?

My sister held her Stamp Club while I was in Tassie a couple of weekends ago and we decided to do the same card, but we gave the ladies the choice of doing a pink option instead. I adore how the pink one came out - so pretty!

We didn't have any suppliers of pink ribbon handy, so we switched it for an embossed strip of Soft Suede card stock and some punched flowers with half pearl centres. Isn't that cute?

The stamp set used here is new to our range, in the Autumn Winter Mini. It's called Apothecary Art and has these lovely label stamps and some co-ordinating greetings. The gorgeous printed background paper is Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper - love, love, love it!! I didn't think I would ever be brave enough to take a pair of scissors to this paper - but I'm glad I decided to have a play!

Two important things :

• I have two spaces left for my Thursday night stamp club. We can kick it off with just one more person, so if you've been hesitating because you thought the club was full, or that you might not be able to make Thursday nights, please let me know - you don't have to physically attend to be part of the fun!
• Tomorrow there's a special inspirational treat coming your way. Some of my wider stamping and papercraft group are holding a Scrapbook Page blog hop, featuring more of our gorgeous Designer Series Papers to give you lots of inspiring ideas and projects. You can start here at my blog, anytime after 6am.

See you then!!
