Honeycomb anyone?

Stampin' Up have produced a beautiful new Spring/Summer catalogue full to bursting with all sorts of lovely! I fell in love with the little honeycomb embellishments, basically they are little balls you open like old fashioned Christmas decorations.  They can be used as ice cream toppers, like I did in this card, or for balloons, tops of party hats, the possibilities are endless.  This is a sweet little card I made recently that I thought you would like to see.  Then below that is Stampin' Ups own take on various ways of using these cute embellishments. They come in packs of 12 for only £4.50 and colours include Mint Macaron, blushing bride pink and white.  The white can be coloured any colour you wish using our reinkers and a spray bottle.  Check out page 9 of the catalogue order no 140566.

That's for looking in today, hope to see you back here soon.

Rose Garden

Happy Monday, today I am sharing my January thank you cards with you. Every month anyone who has placed an order with me gets a handmade thank you card from me. I really like to show my customers how grateful I am that they choose me as their Stampin' Up demonstrator.

As a special this month, to celebrate Sale-a-Bration I also give any customer who ordered over £45 worth of products a little gift pack from me featuring beautiful new embellishments.  So for £45 my lovely customers got a gift of their choice from Stampin' Up, a gift pack from me and a thank you card! Everyone has received theirs now so I hope they were all happy crafters.

It has been pretty mild here in Northern Ireland, nothing like the poor people enduring the awful snow storm on the East coast of American.  It has been such a mild wet winter that my spring bulbs are already well up out of the ground getting ready to flower and it's still only January!

Thanks for stopping by today, please visit again soon.

Oh, Hello

Good Morning, I'm sharing a sweet little card with you today.  I love the little chick with his balloon, I added the Oh, Hello because I thought that looks like what he is saying!  However the little chick would look equally as good with "Happy Easter". This is free stamp set from our Sale-A-Bration promotion.  For every £45 you spend with Stampin' Up you get to choose any item from the special Sale-A-Bration leaflet.  This one is on page 15 and is called Honeycomb Happiness.  It is designed to coordinate with our cute little honeycomb embellishments, check out the page below.

Beautiful Botanicals

I'm loving everything from Stampin' Ups botanicals range, check out pages 26 & 27 of the Spring catalogue. Below is a display from my launch party and also a close up of some of the projects I made too. 

It has been snowing here in Northern Ireland, we don't get much snow here so we're not used to it and don't cope very well getting around in it.  Good excuse to stay in and craft today! Hope the weather is not too bad where you live. Keep warm and have a great weekend.

Launch party day

Hello everyone, just dropping by to thank everyone who attended my Spring catalogue/ Sale-A-Bration launch party yesterday, it was great fun and everyone loved all the new products. I'm sharing some of my display areas today but over the next week or so I'll be posting individual photos of everything.

Thanks for looking today and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Every girl needs a new handbag!

Good morning, I'm so looking forward to my launch party tomorrow and seeing all my customers! I have been working on lots of projects for my display using the fantastic new products from our Spring catalogue. It was an easy task as I love everything! The most difficult part was deciding what to use first...

I used paper from a lovely new paper pack called Birthday Bouquet and the brand new pink glimmer card. The photo doesn't do it justice as it is very sparkly in really life.  I got the original idea for this handbag from a fellow demonstrator from the U.S. called Becky Roberts, have a look at her blog called Inking Idaho
Becky sells PDF templates that are really good.  Anyway I bought the handbag template from Becky some years ago but have since went on to resize it bigger and smaller, the one on the photo is a larger version. It is a useful little gift bag for holding jewellery or chocolate, what girl doesn't love a little bag containing something lovely?

I'll be back soon with more samples from my launch party, I hope you come back for those.

It has arrived! Brand new Spring/Summer Catalogue
