Under My Umbrella Bundle

Hello there and good morning! Now, I wasn't going to purchase this bundle (how many times have I said that?) but I am SO glad I did! Since it was delivered on Thursday I have made over 12 cards with it and still have more to come!

On Friday evening I hosted a Stampin Up party at my studio for one of my customers. I do this to save them having to have them in their homes! All the guests made this card to take home with them. I added the stamped envelope the other day as a little extra touch.

 The Umbrella is stamped onto the Painted Poppies papers and then punched out with the coordinating punch. The wellies are stamped in Memento and coloured in with our fabulous Stampin Blends.

 I have a few more versions of this card to share with you but for now I will mention that I will be offering both a CLASS IN THE POST with this bundle and I am also launching a new BEGINNERS CARDMAKING COURSE with it too, as well as a STAMP SET INCLUDED CLASS in April! Lots going on!!

Here are my classes for February, other dates can be found on my Facebook page HERE

Country Home Customer Thank You

Ok so I lied on my last post! I said that was it for the Country Home shares and then I remembered I had made this Thank You card for one of my lovely customers to send out with a Thank You gift for her lovely orders!

It's basically a smaller version of a card I shared a few days ago and I took the opportunity to re-create a design I already had. I find I spend most of my time deciding what to make rather than doing the actual making itself!

Thank you Karen for your continued support and custom and enjoy your new stamps!

Thank you to those who have been using my code this month. Last months goodies have now been sent out and should have been received!

Jingle All The Way Technique Class

Good Morning! Today I am starting to share my Technique Class cards from the weekend. We usually make 3 cards and I start off with the “warm up” card, then we have the “high impact” card and then we finish with the “cool down” card. This month we worked with the Jingle All The Way bundle which the ladies all received included in the class cost. This is the warm up card that was CASED from fellow demonstrator Amanda Fowler. Thank you for the inspiration Amanda.

I love the simplicity of this card and I am loving Night of Navy at the moment as my ladies will tell you. The Jingle All The Way bundle has been my top selling bundle of this catalogue and it’s easy to see why. It creates such stunning makes so quickly and easily.

The houses were cut out with the Sleigh Ride edgelits which form part of the bundle .

 We also got to use the offcut of the Whisper White card inside the card blank so there is no need for an extra insert. Love it, and so did my ladies. 9 of them had this made pretty quickly I have to say.

I’ll be back to share the other 2 makes on Thursday and Friday with you as tomorrow it’s Weekly Deal Wednesday!

Tonight I am closing my Online Code Club for September so if you would like to take advantage of it please use my Online Store before 5pm today.

I have created a new Online Code which is EHRPKAXP. If you are shopping during September and spending between £25 and £150 then please use this code and you will receive a little gift in the post in early October

Floral Wings at Stamp a Stack

Good Morning. It’s a bright and sunny day here in Yorkshire and I have got a nice sunny card to share with you today. I think this was my favourite card of the day and probably was one of the lengthier cards. At the Stamp a Stack the ladies made 4 cards of each of the 6 designs, taking 24 cards home with them!

This card uses the popular Floral Wings stamp set which is a HOSTESS ONLY stamp set. This means you can claim it as a free gift for £9 hostess on a party of over £150 OR you can also claim it in your Stampin Rewards if you place an order over £150, this applies to Online orders as well as orders with me. 

You know how much I am loving the Brick Wall embossing folder and I couldn’t resist sneaking it in on this project.

Before I go I thought I should share this weeks Weekly Deals with you. I have an order going in at teatime today so please do message me if you would like anything from the deals and I will add it to my order.

The fab Metal Rimmed Pearls I used on the card above are on there too! Only £3.15!

Even more Awesome Artistry

Hello there! Today I am sharing another card from the same set. These were all part of my Monthly Technique Club which I run on the last Saturday of each month. Its a small teacher led class and you get the stamp set included in the cost. My next one is 25th July and the details are on Facebook HERE or on my Classes/Events tab at the top of my blog - we are using the Watercolour Wings.

This card uses the Triple Time Stamping Technique, one which needed re-visiting as I haven’t done it for a while and it’s not as hard as you think. The hardest part is measuring and cutting the layers!

All the products are the same as yesterdays and I am really pleased with the colour combo I used! I came up with it all on my own!

Here they are all together! Which is your favourite and would you like to do a class like this? I am considering putting this together as a class in the mail with some products included and a tutorial. Please email me if you are interested. Thanks

Some of the items from the Weekly Deals have already sold out as they were in limited quantities. Watch out for more next week!

Thanks to everyone who shopped online with me in June and used my Online Code. I have now opened a new code for July which is JPMMXZDZ

Please use this code when spending over £25 and under £150 on my Online Store.

Marvellous Madeira - Part 3

Hello there! Apologies for the lack of blog yesterday, it was a Mollie-Day! I had my little niece for the morning and boy did I know about it. No chance to do anything else whatsoever!

Today I am back with tales from the Friday of our trip. This was an organised trip by Stampin Up and we were shuttled onto 2 catamaran’s to go and watch the dolphins in the sea. I have to say, I LOVE dolphins and was really looking forward to this! Here is a harbour selfie with some of the gang!

And our catamaran for the morning.

 Now those of you who know me, know that I am a bit of a wuss when it comes to many things but I was straight on the nets at the front of the vessel. I think I was on them before it had even left the harbour - first one on!

 Here I am with Tom, Sarah Berry’s lovely hubby who we nicknamed Trivia Tom, and also my annoying little brother! 

 Now take a look at these 2 photos. Here we are, Sarah, Monica and me all posing nicely and then look at the next one - do you think someone said something rude?

 Ha ha!

 The next 2 photos were taken by Simon Last and I pinched them as I just thought they were so so beautiful. I say pinched, but lovely Caro from the Netherlands airdropped them to me - wow that was a first!

 I just loved being out on the sea so close to the water and I enjoyed the chat and banter we had on the nets, an amazing time.

 Once back in the harbour we walked to a local fish restaurant for lunch.

 Late afternoon Jane and I walked into the town centre for a bit of exercise. Here is the Christiano Ronaldo statue, he was born in Madeira but I think this looks nothing like him!

 That evening I had a date with my fellow Project Life fan, Constanze from Germany. We also mety up with Nadine and even Sara Douglass the interim CEO of Stampin Up came to look for us and joined us!

Tomorrow I will be back with the last lot of info from the trip and then on Monday I will be back to sharing crafty makes! Hooray I hear you say. Hope you have enjoyed details of our trip so far?

 I have generated a Hostess Code for the month of June which I will be closing on 29th June. Please use code 6VFVG2ZM when checking out on my Online Store if you order is over £25 but under £150. During July I will be sending you a little gift in the post to say thank you. 

PLEASE NOTE I WILL BE CLOSING THIS ORDER ON MONDAY 29TH JUNE.
