Hello there and welcome to this months Jems Blog Hop! You may have hopped here from the lovely Sharon's blog or you may have come straight here, either way, I do hope you will follow the hop all the way around as you're sure to see some amazing ideas and inspiration! Today we are all focusing on the new Autumn/Winter catalogue which went live just 2 short days ago :-)
I have so far used the Dracula, Skeleton and Mummy stamps from Cookie Cutter Halloween but wouldn't they be fab in Christmas designs too???
They are designed to work with the Cookie Cutter Builder punch so no fiddly cutting out! Winner! TIP: The punch is 10% cheaper with the Cookie Cutter Christmas bundle!
So, here's a super quick video sharing the measurements and a few tips to make these spoooookily good treat holders..
Don't have any mini tic tacs to decorate? Well, place an order with me either online or directly (over £25, before post) or come to a card class during September and I will add your name into my prize draw to win your own box of 60! Plenty to get you started on those Halloween (or Christmas) treats ;-) *One entry per order or for a September class place, but there's no limit to the number of times you can order.
Please note: The Tic Tac prize draw is in addition to the free gift received with orders using the September shopping code so don't forget to use it when you order too ;-)
Hello there,
I have a super cute pair of notebooks to share with you today using the ever versatile Butterfly Basics stamps and dies. I purchased the notebooks in this Kraft colour and we decorated them at Jenny's pre-wedding party.
I made two designs before hand and let the ladies choose how to decorate their own...
This black and Kraft version was the most popular. I used versamark to stamp the leaves for a subtle look and plenty of Wink of Stella on the butterfly too.
I also made this softer style with doilies and ribbon roses (retired).
Which is your favourite?
Back tomorrow with a Halloween Treat on the Jems blog hop.

So today sees the launch of the brand new SU! Autumn/Winter catalogue! It's packed full of gorgeous stamps and accessories for all your seasonal crafting needs! I have had a little play with just a few things the last couple of weeks so don't forget to scroll down this post to see my first card....
First of all though, HERE is the new Autumn/Winter catalogue for you!
Stampin' Up! also have a promo on for just 21 days this September.
I *adore* the new enamel shapes in the Annual catty and they are (amongst other things) 25% cheaper for a few weeks so get stocked up. If you missed my post on storing these shapes a little while back then you can hop over HERE and take a look...
OK, so how about a card then? I really love the new Merry Tags dies and knew they could be so much more than just tags.
Here's my first card using these dies...
I die cut the Deer tag twice from Crumb Cake, once from Garden Green card and once from Early Espresso card before trimming and layering. I then I die cut the solid tag from vellum and backed the whole tag before adding accents with some of the new mica flakes...
I made a wash with Navy ink on watercolour paper leaving it to dry completely before stamping the sentiment from Wonderful Year and heating it with Copper embossing powder.
I think this would be a fab card to make in multiples :-)
So, I do hope you enjoy taking a look through the new Autumn/Winter catalogue today and you've enjoyed the card too!
