On Stage UK Card Swaps Part 2 - The Greeny Blues....

More gorgeous swaps for you today... and I don't think anyone who follows this blog will be surprised that I came away with more "blues" than any other colour scheme... so much so that I have split the blues into 2 sets/posts!!

Stunning Dandelion Wishes card by Linda Kasparian...

Love this one! And an admittance ... as I had seen this card posted somewhere on social media a week or two before... and said WOW at the time!...  In fact I may have even commented (which admittedly is rare for me)... So I gleefully swapped and received this one!! I couldn't contain my excitement!! It was a funny moment... Though I am sure I wasn't the only one...

Beautiful Varied Vases card by Pauline Powling

Stunning Waterfront card by the fabulous Barry & Jay...

Lovely Handwritten & Pop of Petals card by Elizabeth Bennett... who I hope enjoyed here first On Stage!

Sensational Swirly Frames & Butterfly Gala card by Jayne Owen... I suddenly feel a need for the Swirly Frames (fingers crossed they carry over!) And oh yes... so they do!!

And lovely Incredible Like You & Cute Crew notecard by Carol Clark...

Which reminds me... that there is a "problem" with these swaps... as suddenly you spot a must have product that had not caught your eye before... and so it can become costly... unless you have great self restraint!

Current Catalogues & Products

Everything is Rosy...available May only... and only while supplies last

A few of my favourite... Stamp Sets...

Thought it was about time I sat down and came up with some Top 10 lists for you... always hard for me to decide... as I have to balance products to be used in different classes, my personal tastes (that may or may not be used in classes!!) and products that will be great all rounders for everyone...

So today it is time for 10 of my Favourite Stamp Sets... which doesn't include any to be found in bundles... as I will do those another day!! Product and project photos shared for you too...

First up, Dandelion Wishes . Anyone that knows me knows I have a think about dandelions... and so do many of my crafty ladies...so we can't wait to get this into action... Available in Wood Mount & Clear Mount

 

Followed closely by Bokeh Dots... what an amazing duo of Distinktive backgrounds... still very en vogue Bokeh and teeny tiny stars.... so useful... Again available in Clear Mount & Wood Mount

 

And a video here for you about the range of Distinktive stamps too... 

And then by Itty Bitty Greetings... as I wouldn't be without a teeny tiny greeting stamp set in my life... both personally and for my classes... such a great all rounder greeting set... and a lovely update on the retired Teeny Tiny Sentiments... available in Wood and Clear Mount...

 

Then Handwritten... a background for virtually every occasion you can think of... such an all-rounder product... again Wood Mount & Clear Mount...

Accented Blooms - read more about this one here...

  

Calligraphy Essentials - see and read more about this one here ... but available on its own or with the great Calligraphy Essentials Project kit (as pictured) or as per this video here...

 

Then Wonderful Moments... many images and words for which I have a void in my stock... and reminiscent of Beautiful You that has been so popular around here... Just available in photopolymer...

  

Enjoy Life... something completely different... but you know how I like my silhouette images... thanks to fellow demo Connie Fitzgerald for its creation... available in photopolymer...

Bubbles & Bubbly... not me really...but I know this will be loved by many of my class ladies...as they are self confessed relaxers in baths... especially with candles and/or a glass of bubbly from time to time for the ultimate in pampering! I personally prefer a shower!!! Available in Wood Mount & Clear Mount...

And finally Treehouse Adventure - dont think this will be bought in any great volume unless you have young boys- but I love it!! I always allow myself one stamp set that grabs my heart.. and yes this is the one... Takes me back to my childhood living on the edge of a forest... and spending hour after hour making and chilling in treehouses... again photopolymer only...

 

So that is my Top 10 in stamp sets... off to make the hard decision for the bundled products next... I may be gone a while as we are spoilt with 33 of them to choose from...
