Thinlits Expressions from Stampin' Up!

Hi Guys,

Hubby and I had a lovely night away on Friday in the Surrey Hills - unfortunately I had no phone or internet connection... or was it a blessing? It definitely felt a little strange.

Today I'm sharing another card using Stampin' Up! Thinlits - these are the Expressions Thinlits and a little tip is to use a layer of wax paper between the cardstock and the dies - then the words just pop right out.

I apologise that the card is already in it's little cellophane wrapper - but i forgot to take the piccys before I sealed up the card.

The stamp set is Santa's List,


Doesn't the word Merry look lovely cut out of the Silver Foil Sheet?

The other words are Love and Thankful. They are just so delicate and detailed I love them... more so since I discovered Wax Paper too!


Remember you only have a few days left to order your stamp sets with 25% discount, they are available from my on-line store.

I still have dates available for parties in November and if you would like to join my team - I would love to have you on board!

Back Soon!

Loving those 'Flip' Cards...

And they are incredibly simple with Stampin' Up! goodies, the Thinlits dies and your Big Shot...

Just a couple I made yesterday. I used the Thinlit Card Die sets, The Santa from The Best of Christmas, the Season of Style Designer Series Paper, Some of the lush Glimmer Paper and a little of the 1/8" Silver ribbon.

Oooh - just loving these!







And don't you just LOVE the co-ordinating Cracker made using the soon to be released Envelope Punch Board!


I used the Scallop Border Punch on the ends and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain ribbon.

Back soon!!!!

You What? 25% off and a great NEW product!

I can't believe the amazing offer that Stampin' Up! have announced today... combined with the release of the NEW Thinlit Card Dies... well who wouldn't fall off their chair and spit out their tea in the excitement of rushing to place an order? Well as you all know, I have had my dies for a week or so now as a perk of being a demo, AND they are LUSHHHHHHHHHH.

So down to business. Yet again Stampin' Up! want to be sure we don't forget what a special year it is, in celebrating their 25th anniversary. So this weeks little temptation is a whopping 25% off 25 stamp sets.

Visit my shop to see what they are or click on the link on the right for a list. Even better, pick up the phone and give me a call! There is only one snag... you only have until the 28th to order so pull up a chair and go for it!


And whilst you are at it, add the NEW Thinlits Card Dies too! Remember the video I posted showing you how to make a card by making a partial cut - well these little beauties do all the work for you... Just add card stock!


There are two great sets to choose from - but if you're anything like me you might 'need' both!


So what are you waiting for? visit my On-Line shop or give me a call on 01844 342494 or 07786 860438 during the day. And I would like to say 'Hello' to Laura. I now know at least one person reads all the waffle I put on here!

Back soon with some samples for you!

Absolutely Crackers!

Today I thought I would walk somewhere new for a change... so I wandered off down a wooded path and through lots of grassy fields - thinking 'Great clean dogs...'

I had walked quite a distance, and was on the home stretch, when I realised the route I was about to  take had obviously just been used by the numerous tractors I had seen driving round earlier - I was too near to where I had parked the car to turn back so needless to say, by the time the dogs and I had waded through the four inch sloppy mud... it was everywhere - even in my hair!

Everything got hosed down when I got home and the dogs are now drying out in their beds.

There are a couple of exciting new things coming your way from Stampin' Up! in the next couple of weeks including an Envelope Punch Board... now the rules are I can't show you new products until they are released but I can show you things made with them... so look at these little crackers!

They are super simple to make...

I have used the Winter Frost DSP and the Silver 1/8" ribbon... with my favourite - Chalk Talk... There is room inside for some treats so in these I have put Lindor Chocolates. What will you put in yours? Why not add a comment and let me know?

Hope you like - and watch this space for the launch.

Wedding Keepsake

I  have lots of cards I need to make in the next few days - my Mum's birthday, a couple of weddings, a get well soon... and I'm sure I've forgotten something!

Anyway - yesterday on my Facebook page I promised to share a wedding keepsake I have made for a friend - I gave it to her today as I shan't see her before she gets married.

It was almost completely CASE'd from a US Demo called Beth Beard. I loved it so much I had to have a go... though I forgot the butterfly she had added to hers!

I also made a box using my Simply Scored score board and Chalk Talk with matching Framelits (I use this a lot as you will notice!) and circle punches with Organza ribbon.




Then inside is this beautiful tag...


I used En Francais for the background, Adorning Accent embossing folder, Teeny Tiny Sentiments, sentiment with embossing powder, the leaves are from the Bird Builder punch, more Organza ribbon and the flower itself made using the Blossom punch and sponged with Raspberry Ripple.


I really enjoyed making this project and hope you like it too.

Back Soon! I have so many things to share - but must get some crafting done too!

Wet and Wild

It's on days like this when I am so grateful I have my crafting to keep me sane - Don't get me wrong, I just took the dogs out and discovered, on it's first outing of the year, that my waterproof coat is no longer waterproof - So I'm not housebound by the weather but it is lovely to creep off to my little haven of craftiness and forget how dreadful it is out there.

You can buy Stampin' Up! products from me either through my secure on-line store or by contacting me direct. At this time of year though it is even nicer to get a few friends together with a mug of coffee (glass of wine) and have a home party - all your guests get to make a card, I'll demo some of the products and if the sales from the party exceed £150 you earn from £25 FREE to spend in the catalogue! For October only, remember you earn an extra £25 on orders over £250 you get £65 to spend.



If you like you can hold a virtual party - I'll drop off some order forms and a catalogue - you can canvass your friends and I'll collect the orders... and you'll still earn freebies! You can't beat that! I can even open an order on-line for you with an exclusive code for you and your friends...

Don't forget that until the 21st of October only you can join Stampin' Up! for just £25 - choose up to £26.95 of product and there is no further commitment but you will get exclusive demonstrator discounts on your purchases as well as special offers! All my recruits get a little something special from me too!


And here is a little something simple I created to show you you don't need lots of fancy stuff to get started! This card was made by sponging on Whisper White card stock, The trees are from the Lovely as a Tree set and the sentiment is from Sassy Salutations.

I then cut it and matted it on some coloured card.



So simple!

Do get in touch if you have any questions or would like to have a party.
