Coming soon...

Hi there

Hope you are all keeping well, just wanted to let you know that the Stampin' Up new autumn/winter catalogue will be available from the 5 September 2018.  There are some absolutely gorgeous products in this edition, I hope to be sharing some of them with you :)

In the meantime, here is a taster of things to come :)

If you are a customer, I will be posting catalogues out at the end of this month. If you would like a copy, please let me know, I am happy to pop one in the post to you.

Take care and have fun getting inky.

Share What You Love

Hi there

As promised, I am back with another post on the fabulous new suite from Stampin' Up called Share What you Love, this is a real WOW suite with an amazing stamp set called Love What You Do, and an alphabet stamp set - Make A Difference, the Lovely Floral dynamic textured impressions embossing folder and lots of other goodies - all on page 177 of the new catalogue :)  If you are already one of my customers, one will be winging its way to you, if you don't already have a demonstrator and would like me to send you one, please let me know and I will be happy to pop one in the post to you :)

Here are a few cards that I have had fun making with this suite and I am not yet finished, so many ideas still rattling around my head - tee hee :)

Here are a few samples of the makes and takes that my lovely customers will be creating at my catalogue event this month.

I definitely could not waste any of the Share What you Love DSP, so I made a card using up the strips left over after I have been chopping it :) #loveitchopit :)

                           

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my fun makes and I will be back soon with some more cards that I have created with amazing stamp sets from the new catalogue.

Take care and have fun getting ink

Crafty hugs, Anne :)

Swaps from On Stage

Hi there!

Wow, so sorry for the huge absence from my blog, afraid life just got in the way... It is like the sentiment from a Stampin' Up stamp set that says, "stuff happens, coffee helps!" Lol. It has been a bit hectic, but I hope to start posting more frequently! (fingers-crossed! Tee hee)

I was lucky enough to secure a place at On Stage in Telford in April (where does the time go?)  This is an amazing event for Stampin' Up demonstrators across the country, we even had a demo from the States and three from Germany - incredible!   We really are spoilt and had an amazing time; we also get to see the new up coming products earlier and can buy selected products before the catalogue launch on 1 June, it is sooo exciting :)

My swaps were mini traveller's notebooks, I used up lots of Designer Series Paper (DSP) and made 40 to swap :)

Apologies for the poor quality of my photo's :(

I received some amazing swaps, if you would like any further information on any of these swaps i.e., stamp set, colours, paper, ribbons, etc, please let me know and I can let you have further details.  Sadly, some do not have any names on them, but if you see your project here, please do let me know and I will happily add your name, thank you so much to everyone who swapped with me, I really appreciate it :)

There really are some amazingly creative ladies out there.. I am sure you will agree when you see these fabulous swaps :)
