Simple Card & Gift

Hi All,

I've finally got around to photographing some of the projects I've been making.

Here is a simple A5 card using the Oval Framelitis and Fun Flowers die. The main colours are Pacific Point, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight.

For the gift............I've tried to make it look like a book. The concertinaed sides allow it to have the height to incorporate 2 bars of chocolate.............it's great, the men in my household don't think crafting is cool........so my chocolate is safe!!

Thanks for looking, happy crafting

Changes Are a Coming!

Hi All,

Stampin’ Up! have announced a Colour Refresh to the 40 core colours.

The colour family names are staying the same........Brights, Subtles, Regals and Neutrals, but in refreshing the colour pallete some of the less popular colours are being replaced, with some favourites from the past 'In Colour Collections', plus some some new ones too. 

  

These changes will take place when the new annual catalogue launches on the 1st July 2013; but the colours that are leaving, are only whilst stocks last...........so if your favourite is leaving I suggest you stock up quickly!

The Petite Curly Label punch free during Sale-a-Bration it is now available to purchase and will go into the new Annual catalogue. It is £11.50 and can be added to your order anytime from today!

Lastly.........due to unforeseen problems with the supplier for Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils, SU have decided to discontinue these two products.

They also are only available while supplies last.

'Spot' anything New?

Hi All,

I've been playing around with some of the 'New' products available in the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue. I'm sure you've all seen lots of various things made with the 'Perfectly Preserved' stamp set and framelits............I of course, have a different way of thinking (I know my friends always say so......mad is also mentioned, normally in the same sentence!)

The Ladybug is a die (not SU), but can easily be made with circle punches. I have stamped the jar in Stazon on acetate, and the sentiment is from 'Hopeful Thoughts'. Have you spotted the 'new' embossing folder? I know this is going to become a favourite of mine

Thanks for looking,

Training Swap

Hi All,

I went to Reading last weekend for a training session and this is a tag I made as a swap. It's using the Creative Elements stamp set

I wasn't sure about this set..........but I'm loving it right now......also, I wasn't a fan of tearing the cardstock before, but the end result has grown on me. What do you think?

Sorry for not posting, things have been so hectic around here since coming back from holiday. 

Not only because SU has launched it's retired list and Seasonal Catalogue, but home life too. 

I've finally got a new cooker..........yippee, no more camp food!..........but, the washing machine's now died; so I'm hastily trying to dry the carpet out before a new one arrives tomorrow..........(it's a close competition for third place.......fridge v tumble drier........I wonder which will win!)

Hubbie's taken on the school run this morning and is out all day, so I'm hoping to sneak in some crafting ; )
Must dash and get the chores done first!
