Stampin' Up Year- End Sale




Stampin' Up is holding a year end sale with many items from the Autumn/Winter catalogue now reduced. To take a look at the offers please click this link which will take you to the sale page. 

This sale was announced at the beginning of the week but I have not been at home for the last few days and this is my first chance to let you know about it. 

If any orders are placed for sale items or otherwise, the last date I can submit an order for goods to arrive in time for Christmas is Sunday the 13th December 2015.

With my best wishes to you all for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Retiring Products from the Autumn Winter Catalogue 2015


We are nearing the end of the sales period for the Autumn/Winter 2015 catalogue. If there is anything you have been thinking about getting please order it now before it retires. Here is a link to the Retiring List so you can check which products are affected.

Some of the bundles from the Autumn/Winter catalogue (stamps and dies/stamps and punches) will be carried over to the Spring/Summer catalogue launching 5th January 2016.


The above stamp set has been a very popular one in the Autumn catalogue, but sadly it is retiring. There is a matching set of dies on page 172 of the Annual catalogue called Leaflets Framelits which will be available until the end of May 2016, so you could treat yourself to the stamps now before they are gone and buy the framelit dies in the new year.

Hop over to my Pinterest boards to see one of these stamps turned into a Christmas tree for a card on my board '12 Cards of Christmas 2015'.

Enjoy all your Christmas preparations.

Twelve Cards of Christmas 2015


Last November I set up a board on Pinterest called '12 Cards of Christmas 2014' and challenged myself to make and post onto the board one card each day for twelve days. This proved very popular and hopefully gave some of my followers a few ideas to put into their own card making.

I have decided to do the same this year with a new board '12 cards of Christmas 2015'. The first card will be posted today, 19th November, with the last one (if I can keep up with the challenge) being posted on the last day of November. These will be cards that I have not shared on Pinterest before or shown at any of my workshops or classes.

To view this new board, and any of my other boards, please use the Pinterest button link to the right of this blog.

I hope you will enjoy following my daily card ideas as you build up your own hand made Christmas card stash.

Have fun.

Welcome to September (the third day already!), and welcome to the 2015 Autumn/Winter Stampin' Up catalogue. You have probably noticed 'sneak peeks' on the internet of cards and paper craft items using some of the new products. The catalogue is bursting with beautiful autumnal and seasonal products to inspire you, to take a look just click the image on my side bar. If anyone would like a copy of the catalogue posted, or if you would like to place an order to get ahead with your Christmas projects, my contact details are above.

Here is just a taster of some of the fabulous new product ranges:




And this new punch is fantastic .....


I have just received mine - it is great, and so easy to use. Take a look on page 18 of the new Autumn/Winter catalogue for more details and some samples of cards and tags made using the punch.

Happy crafting!

Monthly Update

Hello and welcome to July - half way through the year already!

Stampin' Up have added extra items to the Weekly Deals (these deals are available for one week and change every Wednesday) and even more items to the Clearance Rack (available rom the 1st July until the 4th August). To check out any of the deals please click on this link Weekly Deals/Clearance Rack.

One item I particularly like in the Clearance Rack is this Gratitude for Days Simply Created Kit reduced to £11.99 (see below). As well as the intended use for it you could also make an advent banner (sorry to talk about Christmas already during the hottest spell of weather so far this year!). How about making little tag pockets for messages on the outside of your cards or on the inside to hold a gift voucher or money. And while we are on the 'C' word you will also find some really nice Christmas stamps and dies reduced for clearance.  

Below are some cards pictured in the new catalogue using a set of stamps called Garden in Bloom, lovely sketchy flowers and butterflies.



To see some of my creations please use the Pinterest link on the right hand side bar here on my blog.

Happy card making, and please contact me on the above number if you would like to buy any products or to find out more about hosting a Stampin' Up party.
