Stampin' Up - Carols of Christmas Bundle

Hello Crafters,

Just wanted to let you know about a fabulous Christmas Bundle of stamps and dies available from TODAY. 

The Autumn/Winter catalogue launches on the 1st September 2017, but the 'Carols of Christmas' bundle can be purchased from today so that you can get ahead with all your Christmas projects. If you received a Bonus Days voucher or vouchers for placing an order for £45 or more during July, this would be a great item to use your bonus against. The price of the bundle of stamps (clear-mount) and dies is £40.50.

If you are interested in the stamps and dies, available as a bundle or individually, please click on this link for full details and prices.

New Stampin' Up Catalogue 2017/2018

Hello and thank you, to anyone who occasionally visits my blog.

I am not posting regularly to this blog at the moment but I will always upload the current catalogue and supplements so that you can link to the latest products available. You can also link to my Pinterest boards where I post most of the cards and projects I have made.

Launched on the 1st June, the 2017/2018 Stampin' Up catalogue is very bright and cheerful with lots of new stamp sets, dies, embossing folders and embellishments along with all the matching card, ink and paper that Stampin' Up are so famous for. The five new colours for 2017-2019 are Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide. All of the colours fit well into the existing colour range, but I think the Lemon Lime Twist will become a favourite, a lovely bright colour to add to the green range.

I have so many favourites in the catalogue but I thought I would share a few Stampin' Up videos to give you some inspiration.

First the Oh So Eclectic bundle:

The At Home with You Bundle:

The 3D Textured Embossing Folders:

And finally the You Move Me bundle:

Have fun browsing the new catalogue, and please contact me if I can be of any help or if you would like to place an order.

Retiring Products from the Autumn Winter Catalogue 2015

We are nearing the end of the sales period for the Autumn/Winter 2015 catalogue. If there is anything you have been thinking about getting please order it now before it retires. Here is a link to the Retiring List so you can check which products are affected.

Some of the bundles from the Autumn/Winter catalogue (stamps and dies/stamps and punches) will be carried over to the Spring/Summer catalogue launching 5th January 2016.

The above stamp set has been a very popular one in the Autumn catalogue, but sadly it is retiring. There is a matching set of dies on page 172 of the Annual catalogue called Leaflets Framelits which will be available until the end of May 2016, so you could treat yourself to the stamps now before they are gone and buy the framelit dies in the new year.

Hop over to my Pinterest boards to see one of these stamps turned into a Christmas tree for a card on my board '12 Cards of Christmas 2015'.

Enjoy all your Christmas preparations.

Twelve Cards of Christmas 2015

Last November I set up a board on Pinterest called '12 Cards of Christmas 2014' and challenged myself to make and post onto the board one card each day for twelve days. This proved very popular and hopefully gave some of my followers a few ideas to put into their own card making.

I have decided to do the same this year with a new board '12 cards of Christmas 2015'. The first card will be posted today, 19th November, with the last one (if I can keep up with the challenge) being posted on the last day of November. These will be cards that I have not shared on Pinterest before or shown at any of my workshops or classes.

To view this new board, and any of my other boards, please use the Pinterest button link to the right of this blog.

I hope you will enjoy following my daily card ideas as you build up your own hand made Christmas card stash.

Have fun.

Monthly Update

Hello and welcome to July - half way through the year already!

Stampin' Up have added extra items to the Weekly Deals (these deals are available for one week and change every Wednesday) and even more items to the Clearance Rack (available rom the 1st July until the 4th August). To check out any of the deals please click on this link Weekly Deals/Clearance Rack.

One item I particularly like in the Clearance Rack is this Gratitude for Days Simply Created Kit reduced to £11.99 (see below). As well as the intended use for it you could also make an advent banner (sorry to talk about Christmas already during the hottest spell of weather so far this year!). How about making little tag pockets for messages on the outside of your cards or on the inside to hold a gift voucher or money. And while we are on the 'C' word you will also find some really nice Christmas stamps and dies reduced for clearance.  

Below are some cards pictured in the new catalogue using a set of stamps called Garden in Bloom, lovely sketchy flowers and butterflies.

To see some of my creations please use the Pinterest link on the right hand side bar here on my blog.

Happy card making, and please contact me on the above number if you would like to buy any products or to find out more about hosting a Stampin' Up party.
