It’s here..........

... the eagerly anticipated Autumn/Winter catalogue is now LIVE! You can view it in a few ways either by visiting my ONLINE STORE, by clicking on the photo below or by clicking HERE

I honestly think it is such a great offering this year and I cannot wait to make more projects with the gorgeous products and create designs for my action packed calendar up to December. I thought I would share some of my favourite products from the new catalogue with you.

The above suite, Home for Christmas is probably my favourite in the whole catalogue. Traditional colours but with a retro feel of wrapping paper from the 70’s and 80’s. It reminds me of my childhood and I can’t stop using it at the moment.

Below we have the Jingle All the Way stamps and Sleigh Ride edge lit dies which we will be using at my September technique class on 26th Sept.

The Wonderland suite featuring lots of black, white and gold are bound to be popular for all you crafting magpies out there, although I am still at the stage of not wanting to cut into these papers at the moment! Must remedy that soon!

Another firm favourite of mine is the Flurry of Wishes bundle. This comes with a matching punch which punches out the 2 smaller snowflakes to co-ordinate with the stamps, love it!

 Next is my favourite embossing folder from the catalogue, the Woodland 6x6 folder which creates these amazing tree branches. Very on trend - I’ve seen lots of wallpaper like this recently.

And finally in my top picks is this little new adhesive! It is a MUST HAVE for all your precision gluing! Honestly I am loving it and cannot imagine crafting without it! Make sure you order one, no make that three, you won’t want to run out!

I have created a new ONLINE CODE for the month of September so if you are shopping today and spending between £25 and £150 then please use my code when prompted to bag yourself a little freebie from me in early October. This months code is EHRPKAXP

Happy shopping

Cozy Christmas

Hello there! Yipppeeee it’s the weekend! Had a lovely lie in this morning after a lovely Film Night last night with my family and today I am catching up on more jobs and some crafting work I need to do too!

My classes start up again in September and most of them are advertised HERE on my blog or HERE on my Facebook page. You can also subscribe to my events on Facebook so that you never miss one! This card has been designed for my All Day Stamp a Stack in October. My 3rd October event has just one place left but I have spaces on the repeat class on 24th October, making exactly the same cards. Message me if you would like a place. It’s £35 for the full day including a goody bag worth £25 and your lunch.

I have used a new stamp set called Cozy Christmas which was top of my Wish List and is available from Tuesday 1st September. The sentiment and the image are both from the same set and the paper is from the same product suite. 

I have so many ideas for projects I just need some more time to make them! The new Autumn/Winter catalogue is PACKED with amazing Christmas products and I had a few excited emails from my online customers who had started to receive their copies yesterday! I know what your bedtime reading will be this weekend!

Have a great Saturday.

Snow Place like home!

Hello there and welcome back to my blog today! I was on a roll yesterday and got lots of work done - mostly things for my weekend retreat that runs in a couple of weeks. There has been a lot of Christmas crafting going on this week and I am really enjoying it!

This is another card that I made whilst staying at my lovely SJ’s house last week. I took this stamp set Snow Place and matching dies with me as I knew SJ didnt have this one. We had a lovely time stamping snowmen and cutting out the various bits with her lovely daughter Zoe.

I used some of the papers from the Home for Christmas suite as I thought they looked like snow falling in the sky and I tore some Whisper White and inked it with Pool Party ink to create a frosty look. 

I love the Merry wording from the new thin lets and usually I find these fiddly to adhere to my projects but oh no, not now! Now we have an exciting addition to our adhesive arsenal! This brilliant Precision Glue which I am just LOVING! It’s perfect for gluing small items and will last you ages. Look out for it in the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue on page 43. It’s really easy to miss as it’s in the middle of the Thanksgiving products.

Oooo here is another sneak peek on this photo! I used to glue to adhere the snowflake. Hope you liked todays card, I will share another one tomorrow as we get nearer to the launch of the new Autumn/Winter catalogue on Tuesday!

FYI I am not listing the supplies at the end of this post as most of them are not available until Tuesday!

Retro Santa Sneak Peek!

Hello there! As promised I am back with an actual make today after having a much more productive day yesterday - think I am slowly getting back into things!

On my way home from holiday I stopped off at my lovely downline and wonderful friend Sarah-Jane’s house and SJ and her family kindly put me up for the evening. They are the best hosts and I love spending time with SJ in her craft room, which is where I made this card!

It uses ones of my favourite suites from the new catalogue, Home for Christmas which is a flashback into bygone designs and totally reminds me of wrapping paper and Christmas cards from my childhood in the 70’s and 80’s. Retro is all the thing at the moment

 I love the cute chubby Santa, a much more convincing version than last years skinny Santas (they did nothing for me!). The Santa is cut from the paper, and yes I had to break into Sarah-Jane’s lovely papers to make this card- thanks SJ!

 You will be seeing a lot more of this suite and I cannot wait to share the rest of the catalogue with you! It goes live next Tuesday 1st September. My catalogues for my regular online shoppers are ready to post tomorrow (thanks to my son Evan who helped me today) and I will be sorting my local customers out with their copies - feel free to drop in if you are around, just drop me a text first!

Bye Bye Christmas Stamps

Hello there! Long time no blog! I have been enjoying the festive period and spending lots of time watching TV on the sofa with my boys as well as eating far too much and doing lots of Lego! I did indulge in a little bit of crafting last night, doing some Project Life of our Cruise from May.

Now I don’t know about you but come the beginning of December I am fed up of Christmas cards and Christmas stamps usually. After all I start creating with items from the Christmas catalogue in August! This year I have LOVED the Christmas offering and think it was our best yet. Some of the items are carrying over and will still be available but lots of the items will leave us on 5th January. This is your 9 day warning! I thought I would share my favourites that will no longer be around!

The Bright and Beautiful Stamp set will no longer be available shown in the card below. This looks beautiful embossed, the detail is stunning.

 One of my favourite sets from the Christmas brochure is the Holiday Home stamps and framelits, its so so reasonable in price too. These will NO LONGER be available, and I am quite sad about that as I think the houses have been fab, not just for Christmas but for new home cards too.

 Another fave, and a very popular item with my customers was the Endless Wishes stamp set which I must have used for around 100 Christmas cards this year. Oooo another point to note is that the gorgeous ribbon on these cards will also leave us on 5th January too!

 

 And finally White Christmas! What a lovely stamp set this has been and I think this card and others like it have been pinned and re-pinned so much on Pinterest! I have loved feeling like a little artist when using this set and it is amazing value at £13.95. 

It’s also rather an appropriate set to end my blog post on today as this is what the weather looks like today from my house

Hope you have all had a lovely festive break and I look forward to sharing new goodies with you very very soon!

Santa Tags

Hello there! Today I am carrying on from yesterdays post and sharing some more punch art Santas with you! I have added a photo below of all the shapes you need and then at the end of my post there is a Supplies List of all the punches used for the Santas.

I made some little tags for 2 special Christmas gifts that will be travelling a long way as we speak! 

 The wrapping paper is currently in our Autumn/Winter Seasonal catalogue which is only around for a few weeks longer. I have really enjoyed using it on my presents!

 Hope my special friends like their tags when they arrive at Christmas!
