The Final Countdown!

The new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue goes live tomorrow – and its fantastic – full of lovely things that will have you drooling. That means from tomorrow you will be able to order the products I have been giving you sneaky peaks of and many more things beside.

Check back tomorrow for more details.

So one last sneaky peak for you – yes its a stamp set you wont be able to get from tomorrow (Garden Silhouettes) but what is that you can see in the corner – yes beautiful stitched ribbon! This was made from a small scrap of ribbon so as you can see even the scraps are lovely and can make all the difference to your cards

Don’t forget to stop by tomorrow to see the new catalogue
Happy Crafting

Seeing Stars

Oh and Sneak Peak Number 4!


Look who I met last night ...


What a lovely man - we had a great conversation about dyslexia, personal development and of course crafts! I was at an awards dinner and he had lots of people to meet and what amazed me was how much time he had for everyone.


Today's sneak peak is of a set I am really excited about. I have wanted a set with stars for ages and this set is amazing! Great for male cards, my theatre friends, Christmas an of course for days when you are as star struck as I was yesterday!

The catalogue launches on October 1st - contact me for details


Thank you for stopping by, please visit again soon for more sneak peaks!

Sneak Peak Number 3

I hope you have all been enjoying a lovely weekend - we have been having some lovely sunshine for the first time in quite a long while!


I promised you another sneak peak and a tutorial this weekend so here goes ... This Christmas Card is very quick and easy to make. It uses the new Season of Joy set - I adore this tree and the swirl so I think you may well see lots more of both of them!

OK so if you want to make one of these here is the tutorial:

Last Chance to Buy ...

Its another rainy Sunday Afternoon here but its not all doom and gloom! As you may know the new Stampin’ Up! Catalogue will be out on 1st October. To make way for some exciting new stamps some of the current products and stamps will be retiring.

Check out the list of products which are being retired
here. These items are only available while stocks last. If you look closely you will see that the price of these sets has been reduced – here is some more great news - you can expect more price reductions in the new catalogue too!

If you have always wanted one of the hostess sets in the current catalogue (pages 14 to 20) they are only available until the end of this month – so hurry and book your workshop or place your order with me.

You can see the current full idea book and catalogue by clicking on the picture below.
Here is a card I made using one of the retiring hostess sets – I think it is my current favourite – Garden Silhouettes (page 17). The card base is Bashful Blue, with Certain Celery stamped with the Scratched Background (page 57) using Always Artichoke Ink. The sentiment is from the Sincere Salutations Set (page 61).

If there is anything you have been meaning to get on the retiring list please don’t delay – order it today to ensure you are not disappointed.

I love reading your comments so why not let me know what cheers you up on a rainy afternoon

Thanks for stopping by
