A few of my Favourite Things...

So quite a few of you have been asking me what are my favourite things in the new Spring Summer Catalogue and the Sale A Bration freebies...

So I have pondered, written a list, changed my mind... used some products and changed my mind again... re-written the list... and so now I can share a few... as I am still changing my mind on a few as the creative brainwaves hit me and I think of more ways to use some that weren't in my brain before! And of course my demo friends around the world are all sharing their brainwaves... and I then I will probably change my mind again!!

But for now I am going to put my neck out!! And say these are my Top 5 products in the new catalogue/Sale A Bration promotion... in no particular order...

Just click on the title to go to the Products in the Online Store....

Waterfront...

This was my immediate favourite... and no change of mind with this one.... Just £15... and in photopolymer.. 

I will be doing my first Class in the Mail for this one...  For now... click here to register your interest... 

Release your inner artist! Such a creative set... If you enjoyed Gorgeous Grunge and Work of Art... then this is the one for you...

If you have liked my little scenes over the years...then just buy it! I have spent 15 minutes with it today... and have 4 cards to share already! Love it! So easy! So much fun!

Petal Passion Suite

Again immediate love when first seen... but there again I do love Black & White...

But what I most love about this suite is that you can release your colouring inner self...

And make it whatever colour you fancy... what a great class kit this will be...

And try out loads of colouring techniques and products whilst doing it!!

Even the ribbon can be turned any colour!

And the embellishments are the best ever!

And really lovely embossing folders too... 

And even co-ordinating Memories & More cards too... to make scrapbooking, cards and home decor a breeze.... video of the cards here... 

And a video to show you more of the whole Suite...just click on the arrow...

Epic Celebration...  
Exclusive Sale A Bration promotional item... Yours for free with a £45 order
Well I have an "awesome" teenage boy!! And those "epic" headphones & trainers are never far away...

 So so useful for my own cards! Going to be a keeper... you mark my words...

Apron of Love

Now here is one I did a complete U-turn on...

When I first started papercrafting 15 or so years ago... we did a lot of apron projects at a class I went to... and they weren't what you would call "my style!" Though I have to laugh at myself... as I definitely didn't have a or know "my style" in those days... That came later - thanks to my Stampin' Up! journey...

So my eyes passed by very quickly at first view!!

But now I cannot wait to get creating with it ... as once the ideas came they just kept flooding in... which is code for a very long list to work on already...

And this is a bundle that will work for most occasions/persons... well it will when I have finished with it...

And being published at number 5.... for today! As there are at least 6 products I would put at no. 5 really!! So more on those another day!!!

Myths & Magic Suite

Well this is one that I shouldn't like...

And that I probably won't get to use in a class much... as most of my ladies are past wanting to make cards for younger children...

So if anyone would like to book a private class using it... then please feel free to contact me as I need the excuse to get them out and create as a priority!!!

Or a Class in the Mail would do it!!?

In the meantime I will just carry on and make some blog candy!

Though I have to point out that the Glimmer Paper and Washi Tape in the last 2 pictures are - in my humble opinion - must haves!!

Petal Passion

Petal Passion Designer Series Paper features hand-watercoloured black and white floral designs. You can customise to any colour scheme by adding any colour with your favourite techniques (stamping, watercolouring, sponging, spritzing).

The Petal Passion suite features stamp, paper, and tool coordination; you will have so many creative options layering and combining different die-cut pieces with the stamp set, Designer Series Paper and Memories & More cards.

Myths & Magic

The Myths & Magic Suite is bright, bang on trend and simply magical... featuring mermaids, unicorns, knights and dragons... for boys and girls and the young at heart

Picture Perfect Party

Light, bright with photographic images & Stampin Spots to get the party going... and keep it going...

Sweet Soiree

Sweet Soirée is a large suite featuring a huge selection of coordinating products, so no matter what project you are working on from wedding, baby, or birthday—there is something in this suite for you.

The Cake Soirée Stamp Set includes bold and line-art cake images, several flowers, and calligraphy greetings which are inspired by the floral cake trend–your projects will look current and fresh. 

Painted With Love

Hearts teamed with pinks and golds... for those we love... and for the teen girls. Definitely the loudest squeals in the On Stage room for this one!

True Gentleman

Classic style for the men in our life... with a co-ordinating punch too...

Tutti Frutti

Tutti-Frutti Classic Stampin’ Spots include a four-pack of ink spots (Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red, Soft Suede), and are an easy and inexpensive way to get four colours of ink.

Stamp images are sized larger than the punch sizes so the stamped fruits are easy to punch—no need to worry about perfect alignment.

Thank you Stampin Up! for producing these wonderful boards so that we can take in the catalogue at a glance when we are at the On Stage events... I for one can take these in so much better than the catalogue pages....

And I do also have to admit that we demos don't look at these silently!! Not at all!! More like... how many oohs and aahs ...and (very) loud squeals... can you hear in a room at one time... priceless!!
