July is here and in addition to a brand new catalogue, I have some brand new classes for you. My very first ‘Just for Mums’ class started today. It’s a class specfically for Mums with non-mobile babies. There are lots of Baby classes out there; Baby Massage, Baby Yoga, Baby Signing, etc etc but what about poor old Mum? If Mum wants to do something fun or interesting, I know… Read More »
That’s right, our first range of Blendabilities are available to order right now. Before I rave on about good they are, I must admit to not having used any other sort of alcohol based marker. However, for a complete novice, I did find them extremely easy to use and the colour is so fluid and easy to blend. In your pack, there are three markers, a light, a medium and… Read More »
If you are new to Stampin’ Up, you probably have no idea what an in-colour is. I know I didn’t when I first joined. Stampin’ Up group their colours in colour families, so we have Brights, Subtles, Neutrals and Regals – which all seem fairly self-explanatory. These colour families remain fixed for a number of years, but every year we bring out 5 new colours that last for only two… Read More »

We had a lovely morning today, saying Goodbye to our retiring items from our current catalogue, but we weren’t too sad (we’re a fickle lot) because we got to play with some brand new goodies from the new catalogue which is out on Tuesday!! (Can you believe it will be July on Tuesday!?!?) Here is my craft room all prepared and ready for my guests. I really enjoyed preparing for… Read More »
I am very excited to share my first Project Life pages with you. They are very basic and I’m sure I will look back at them in months to come and be shocked at how basic they really were (just like I do with my first cards). However, I just love the system. It really couldn’t be easier. You start off with a basic kit of pocket pages and a card collection… Read More »
I’m STILL waiting on my photo delivery!! It has shipped but they are still not here. If you read my last post, you’ll know how excited I am to finally get my life in order, so to speak, and join the scrapbooking revolution that is Project Life. But it’s going to have to wait another day as I have nothing to put in my pocket pages as yet. So, I’ll… Read More »
I so wanted to have a page to show you by now so I could showcase how quick and easy it is to preserve your memories with Stampin’ Up’s brand new range of Project Life memory keeping products. However, even though my Project Life goodies are here, my photos are not 🙁 I have been looking at various Project Life Facebook groups and on our own Stampin’ Up/Project Life groups and… Read More »
By now, I am sure you are all familiar with Happy Watercolour. It is one of my absolute favourite sets and the source of many of my cardmaking ideas and inspiration. I am sorry to report that it is not being continued in our new annual catalogue. That means it will be retiring on June 30th. . I also used it most recently in my private class that I talked… Read More »

Just a quick post from me today as I wanted to show you a video direct from Stampin’ Up showcasing our Spiral Flower Die. This product was first seen in our Spring Summer catalogue which retires at the end of this month, however, the good news is this product is continuing in our brand new Annual catalogue which is out on July 1st. A lot of our current stock is… Read More »
So, it’s that time of the year when we are getting closer and closer to our brand new catalogue (launch date July 1st). A great number of products are carried over but we do lose some old favourites to make way for some brand new products. I apologise that I am publishing the list a bit late as I just got back from my half term break. This year, our… Read More »
I’m all for quick and simple. With three young children in the house, I never really get the time to sit down and craft away to my heart’s content. So if I do end up with a couple of hours to myself, I want to be able to make a stack of cards and not come away with one – even if it is amazing! So here is an idea… Read More »

Morning! Someone asked me recently about our Simply Pressed Clay – found in our annual catalogue. It is really one of our hidden gems, so easy to use and so inexpensive. You can see it here in our catalogue together with the moulds. There are so many ways to use it and colour it and add a bit of glitz and shimmer to it. So IO thought who better to showcase… Read More »
Ladies and Gentlemen, Who doesn’t like a bargain? And who doesn’t like to get quality papercrafting products at discounted prices?? Well, we have had lots of lovely items added to our Clearance rack. You may think it is a bit early to be thinking about items for Christmas, but if you are a keen crafter, you will know that this is exactly when you think about Christmas. There are some… Read More »
This post is a bit picture heavy, so bear with it! Did you know I run regular monthly classes here at my craft room? I also run private classes both here and at the venue of your choice for a minimum of four people. I had a private class this week for four lovely ladies and here you can see the set up before their arrival. We focused the projects… Read More »
I have an all day Fayre coming up this weekend so have been busy getting some stock ready for my booth. I thought I would show you this frame that I created using the Baby We’ve Grown stamp set. I’ve used Soft Sky, Silver Glimmer Paper and Fresh Prints Designer Paper Stack. I’ve also used Banner Blast that was available during our Sale-a-bration promotion earlier this year and its matching… Read More »
Not a flower in sight this time! No pastels either! I thought I would show you a totally different card using Stampin’ Up’s hostess set, Morning Meadow. I showed you 2 cards already this week using this set in different colourways, this time I am going for Real Red. And in the year since I received it, I have to admit I have yet to ink up the little bird… Read More »
