It's finally here, at long last. The new seasonal catty!!! I can't believe how beautiful this years catalogue is. I just love everything in it. And our new 2013/15 in-colours are the best yet.
So I thought the best way to celebrate a new Catty is with a Blog Hop!! And my gorgeous girls over at ESAD agreed.... Yippee!! So whether you found your way here all by yourself or have just come from the insanely talented
Delys Cram, welcome, welcome, welcome. Why not stay a while, take a look and then hop on over to the amazing
Monique Fielder. I'm telling you these Chickie's rule!!

So I wanted to share some cards that I made for my Catalogue launch that I held last weekend. The first one is using the new Mosaic Madness stamp set plus it's matching punch (I L.O.V.E a matching punch!!!)
Don't you just love that little piece of acetate window!!! I've started to see this trend on a lot of cards at the moment. This sheet actually comes from the new Quatrafancy DSP.
Now I can't take any credit for this one as it was a Pinterest CASE card from the gorgeously talented LeeAnn Greff from
Flowerbugs Inkspot. In fact, I loved her card so much I didn't change one little bit... well I did add a champagne Glitter heart, but other then that it was perfect just the way it was!!!
This next card is all mine, which makes a change...
I've used TWO new stamp sets on this one, one with.... dare I say it.... another matching punch!!! The yellow stamp " To the best Friend I've ever had" comes from the beautiful Label Love stamp set and it has a matching punch called the Artisan Label Punch. This little set comes with lots of gorgeous saying. I can see it being used ALOT this year. The "Happy Day" saying comes from another awesome set called, funnily enough, Happy Day. It's got some lovely big words in it, with could be used on heaps of projects.
So now you've had chance to see my lovely creations, why not carry on with the hop and check out what the other ESAD girls have been up to. Oh and if you would like to order any of these gorgeous goodies for yourself,

Have a Fun,

Ingredients
Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight and VersaMark
Stamps: Hello Doily, Love Label, Happy Day and Mosaic Madness
Cardstock: Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, Sahara Sand and Basic Black
Other: Quatrefancy DSP, White Embossing powder, Early Espresso Bakers Twine, Champagne Glimmer Paper, Small Heart Punch, Mosaic Punch, Artisan Label Punch and Perfect Pennant Die.
Now I know using a whole piece of gold glimmer cardstock is a little decadent but I love how much it sparkles and can only imagine the amazing twinkle when the Christmas tree lights hit it.
And because the whole card is a little over the top, I decided to decorate the inside too. I love having the inside looking pretty but always seem to forget but not this time. A little gold embossing again on the sentiment and I used the snowflake stamp that matches the die just around the corners.
