Thank Yous for June

Hello everyone, isn't this a busy time of year?! Here in Northern Ireland it is coming up to schools finishing for summer, colleges are already finished. I no longer have these things in my life, both my children are grown up but I have been busy anyway, winding up my own classes for summer and getting ready for summer holidays.  It will be nice to get the break from routine, helps recharge batteries and for me, lets me get a chance to just play around with my papercrafting and come up with new ideas. Is it the same with you?

I did make my June thank you cards and gifts this month and as everyone has now got theirs I thought I would share them with you.  The cards are similar to the ones I designed for our Stampin' Up training in Telford and the little bags I made using vellum paper from SAB and I made these using the Mini Treatbags Thinlits. This die made them super quick to do and I loved how they turned out, I popped some sachets of glasses wipes in them, perfect for your  sunglasses at this time of year.

Thanks for popping by today and I'll be back soon with the projects we made in my last class.

Sheltering Tree Screen Card

Good morning from a lovely sunny Northern Ireland where I think summer is finally making an appearance! Temperatures are not exactly warm but at least it's bright and sunny. Sorry I haven't been posting so much recently but life is busy with Catslogue launches, classes and generally just trying to get things cleared up before the summer break. 

Last week I held an evening class and we made this little screen card using the lovely Sheltering Tree stamp set (page 89 item no. 137163).  I had made a similar card for a Christmas version so I used the same measurements to make this seasonal one.  It went down well in the class but as it takes quite along time to make, the girls said they would only part with it to a very special person or perhaps just keep it for themselves!

I'll be back soon with a delightful little mini album so I hope you come back to see that.

New Catalogue!

Very exciting times for everyone who loves Stampin' Up, our new annual Catalogue is now live! I've already placed my own (large!) order and can't wait for it to arrive to get creating with all the lovely new products. If I haven't already sent you a paper copy of the catalogue you can view it by clicking on the image on the right side of this blog, I guarantee you will love it!  Yes it has everything we sell but it is also jamed packed with ideas and tips on how to create beautiful things so do check it out.

The cards I'm sharing with you today are "cased" from Stsmpin' Up and show three of our gorgeous new colours, Mint Macaroon - Watermelon Wonder - Cucumber Crush, even the names are lovely. As a demonstrator I get to pre-order some of the products before the catalogue is available and I made these cards for my launch parties to let my customers get a sneak peak of what was coming.

Really pretty, aren't they?

I'll be back soon with more ideas using new products.
