Busy morning!

Wow! I've woken up to a busy morning regarding The World of Stampin' Up! I have some exciting things to share with you all.

The first bit of excitement is in the form of our BRAND NEW seasonal catalogue which launched TODAY! I have sent some copies out but am happy to send more, just ask! In the mean time, you can view the catalogue by clicking on the link to your left.

Next we have a great offer.

Bundle & Save Butterflies


All things 'butterfly' have been a runaway success with crafters and I'm sure you'll fall in love with them too.

Best Of 25 Years

The last bit of news is a new BEST OF stamp set for September. I can't quite pick my favourite of the images and I'm so excited that the Christmas Ornament matches the punch in the seasonal catalogue. The deer is so elegant and I would, of course, add some serious Christmas bling to it! Father Christmas is guaranteed to jolly up any project and the nativity scene will be a sure fire hit with the children.


I think that's enough to spoil you all with for now!

Any questions? Feel free to call, text or email me.

New phone cover!

Hello everyone!

Those of you that have been around for a while will know that I like to use Stampin' Up! papers to jazz up my phone. Basically, If anything is still for long enough in my house it's going to get some crafty treatment. So my Husband and children have got off lightly, for now :)

Just buy a clear case for your phone and cut some scrummy paper the same size and Voilà! Your phone is looking very lovely indeed.



My paper of choice was from the Designer Series Paper Stack - In Colours 2013-2015

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!

A fine romance...

Today's offering is subtle and romantic (in my opinion!) I'd love to know what you think of it! Maybe it stems from being the only female in a house of 3 males, apart from Dot the cat but I just love all things girly and lovely.

Here's the full list of supplies:

Mosaic Kindness

One of my favourites from the Annual Catalogue has to be Mosaic Madness. The clean, classic lines just always look stunning. The matching punch and embossing folder mean your projects can look classy and professional with very little effort required.

The colours I chose for today's project would work really well for Christmas cards too, just change the sentiment for a Christmas one.

Coffee to go

Not only is the Stampin' Up! catalogue full of gorgeous products to drool over it's also a great resource when your 'creative' juices aren't flowing. Stampin' Up! even provide a list of products that are used to create the projects in the catalogue. You can find it right here

So today's project is my take on the Coffee Bag project on page 36 of the catalogue. I didn't copy it exactly but sometimes an idea is just a spring board to your own creation. I didn't have any coffee beans to hand so that meant a change of design right away!



For this project I used the following Stampin' Up! Supplies.

Stamps
Gorgeous Grunge
Perfect Blend

Inks
Early Espresso

Card Stock & Paper
Whisper White
Real Red
Early Espresso 
Brown Sugar
Coastal Cabana
In Colour Designer Series Paper Stack

Other Items
Chalk Talk dies
Big Shot 
Itty Shapes Bitty Punch Pack
Corner rounder punch
Essential Hardware clips
Dimensionals
Snail adhesive
White bakers twine


I used my digital die-cutting machine to make the bag.
