Last Chance to buy Pretty Perennials

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog. I hope you are looking forward to a lovely weekend. Just popping in here today to remind you of some of the projects I have made in the past few months with products that will only be available for a few more days. 30th June will see these products disappear forever, so it really is a case of get them before they are gone.

My favourite bundle from the Jan-June catalogue was the Pretty Perennials - I'm so disappointed it is being retired. But happy that all of you now have the chance to buy the stamp set for only £8.50 and the coordinating dies for only £15.00. 

Such a bargain! And you can make such pretty projects with these products. Here are a few of my projects:

And if that is not enough inspiration for you, here are a few more projects made by the demo who designed this set - Dena Rekow, a very successful US demo.

So what do you think? Can you really resist buying this lovely set for just £8.50? Hope not!

Bye for now, back soon,

Cards to me in the post - thank you!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog.  Today I am bringing you some cards that were not made by me but by some of the lovely people I have been privileged to meet through Stampin' Up! - friends, customers and team members - and who have been kind enough to to send these in the post to me. 

Firstly, I received the following two cards congratulating me on reaching 5000 YouTube subscribers. This first one is from Gez, who you will know well if you follow this blog regularly!

I love how this card has a daisy theme running through it! Gez has made a whole load of cards with papers from the same pack as this - Ornate Garden - which you can see HERE.

Next up is this lovely card from Anthony, who is a member of my team and who is an incredibly talented paper crafter. He makes the most gorgeous projects and this card is no exception. 

Anthony has used the Playful Alphabet here and then all those tiny triangles are die cut from a die in the Stitched Triangle die set. How long must it have taken to glue all of those on individually? I love how they form a rainbow interspersed with the occasional gold one. There is another of Anthony's creations lower down this post but if you'd like to see more you can follow him on Instagram at Derwent Cards and from there hop over to his Etsy shop where he sells some of his creations - each one is a little work of art!

Next, I received a couple of Easter cards. Most of my family and friends are not big on sending Easter cards but this one below is from a friend - Lesley - who I met about 30 years ago - we were brought together by our love of crafting. I haven't yet persuaded her over to Stampin Up but wanted to show you this cute card anyway.

As you can probably see, Lesley and I have similar styles and we both love "clean and simple".

The second Easter card is another creation from Anthony.

Once again, he has used the Playful Alphabet and this time combined it with the Lovely You stamp set in a great colour way and with lots of layering. 

Lastly for today, I wanted to show you this card from Hazel, one of my lovely customers who hasn't been card making for very long but is already producing very professional looking creations!

For this card, Hazel has CASEd one of my designs but added her own little touches to great effect.

So I'd just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has taken the time to pop some "Happy Mail" to me in the post. I do so appreciate it.

If you like to see more of these cards I recorded a video to showcase them which you can view by CLICKING HERE or on the image below.

Thanks so much for popping in to see me. Bye for now, back soon,

Happy Easter chocolate egg treat box with Pretty Perennials

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my blog today. Thanks so much for popping in to see me. On Saturday I brought you this little treat box, packed full of little Easter eggs. 

Today I am back with the video tutorial to show you how I made it. In the video I changed the colour of the large flower and the background paper but left everything else pretty much the same.

Here are both boxes together - which one do you prefer?

So easy to make using the Love You Always Treat Boxes. 

Anyway, if you'd like to see how I made my boxes you can watch my video tutorial by CLICKING HERE or on the image below:

Enjoy!!
