Stampin' Up! Christmas Monday

I cannot believe how busy I am... and it's nearly October! Not long until Stampin' Up! On-Stage Live... the very first time ever! So if you want to come along you may want to join my team now as you only have 17 days before registration closes!

My classes are super busy - which is amazing as I have lots of lovely new lades! I went to my very first crop at the weekend with the Wycombe Scrappers - a lovely group of ladies - I just have to find time to go again! I did make a good start on my convention swaps!

So today it's just a quicky... and to let you know the Pinkies are doing another Blog Hop at the weekend so don't miss that!

This was something I tried out when I was designing for this months' classes.

Kinda cute - but what's so great I hear you ask!

These cuties - that's what!!!!!!!!! Can you see what it is yet?

 Yup - it's a Pop-Up card! If you would like a tutorial - leave a comment below and I'll try and record one to post next week!

It's the Snow Place stamp set and Snow Friends framelits!

It's getting late and I've been out all evening - so back soon and have a fabulous week!

NEW Spring/Summer Mini catalogue! Stampin' Up!

Well - it's that time of year! The new Spring/Summer Mini is available tomorrow. You won't believe the gorgeous products available!

UPDATE- Stampin' Up! have added the new catalogue to their website so you can now view it via the link on the right hand side of this page!

I have been stroking the catalogue for some time now - though I have been very strong and only bought a small selection of products.

The Pinkies had a product share arranged by the lovely Nicky at Dexterous Designs so I do have lots of bits and pieces to play with.

We will also be holding a Blog Hop on the 9th of Febuary, showcasing lots of the new products. Unfortunately we are forbidden under threat of torture (well not really - but I do like a bit of drama!) from showing you the catalogue until the day of release. So I will put a link up tomorrow as soon as I get home from work.

In the mean time here is a little teaser of some of the products you'll see!

 



Did you spot that gorgeous ribbon? Mmmm just wonderful to work with! Available in two colour ways, you'll find it on page 13 of the catalogue!



 

 

Stampin' Up! have 7, yes SEVEN wonderful bundles in this catalogue, designed to co-ordinate and save you money. This card uses the Secret Garden Bundle on page 17. No more cutting out those fiddly but gorgeous flowers to embellish your projects, just whizz them through the Big Shot!

I really must get and do some more creating! Though at the moment I am just loving the challenges!

I will put a link to the catalogue on my sidebar when I get home from work tomorrow, but I won't have time to Blog as I am doing a party for 14 wonderful ladies!

Punch Art and Embroidery

Last week a very good friend of mine had a birthday. Now this friend collects Elephants and I don't have an Elephant stamp so I wracked my brains, trawled Google and CASE'd this card... with a few tweaks. (I can't remember whose Blog it was on but there were a couple of versions.)

As well as a selection of Stampin' Up punches I also used my Adorning Accents Edgelits and my Little Leaves Sizzlits.

The 'E' which is my friends initial is stamped with the new Lovely Letters Alphabet Stamps.

Then to co-ordinate with the card I embroidered another little elephant with a lilac butterfly on to a cotton tote bag.

I do embroider these bags to order and they are available in lots of colours at £8.50 per bag plus P&P.

Having posted every day last week I thought I would add a little suspense... and stop bombarding my friends with FB links to my Blog. So this week I have been a little more selective. But check back each day just in case there is something new to see.

There will also be a Pinkies Blog Hop coming soon!

For those of you who haven't heard of this, it's a post with a link to the next Blog... then the next links to the next and so on. So you are taken on a tour of Pinkie Blogs. I hope you enjoy it.

The first Blog in the Hop will be the lovely Michelle Last... who is our wonderful Upline though you can start anywhere on the Hop as it will link in a continuous loop.

Hope you are having a good week!
