Thursday 3" ers...

Cut a lovely piece of 12x12 Awash in Beauty paper into 3" wide strips...and what do you get? 

Well ... and very simply... 16 of these cards from one pack of papers... 

I have set on a DL card base (aka Tall Skinny card) but you can  set on a standard A6 (or US A2) card blank too... you'd just cut more of the paper height away!

And for those of you asking me about paper kits and tutorials over the past week... here you go... just scroll back to see more pictures of the other 2 fancy fold cards included...

My Awash in Beauty co-ordinating paper kit for those of you in the UK... and PDF tutorials for everyone else and UK! 

I would REALLY love your support with these kits... 

Just CLICK HERE to email me for a Paypal invoice or more details... but don't forget to tell me which kit you would like and the relevant email address... Order going in imminently if you wish to be sure of getting these lovely papers... but I can do another round for the end of the month...

And remember if you add a £45+bundle/order... then you will qualify for a Sale A Bration freebie... 

Note that the Paper Kit does not count towards qualifying Sale A Bration spends...

Wednesday Wideo - New Horizons Suite

The New Horizons suite is definitely one of my favourite suites in the new Jan-June (aka Spring Summer) mini catalogue... 

Want to see more... well you can... just click on the image below to play the product video...

On The Horizon stamps and dies right up my landscap-ing street...

And the New Horizons papers look absolutely amazing! Click on the image or link to see every sheet...

I say look... as they didn't reach these shores in time for pre-orders - or indeed for launch this week.... but they are due in Mon 10th Jan next week... and I expect them to be VERY popular...

And easily missable on the page... and they took a while to dawn on me... but I love the new Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments too... great with this suite and beaches too!

And there is some great co-ordinating Ribbon too...

And don't forget that I am planning a UK Class in the Mail and co-ordinating Paper (card & embellishments) Sets in February... Just need my papers on order next week to be able to start creating!

Though I do recommend that you order your On The Horizon bundle... and any more full paper packs direct online as soon as possible to avoid any disappointment... 

Do remember to tell me by this Sunday 9th Jan if you will be wanting a class kit ... as I can always order a spare pack of paper -  or two... And you may wish to contact me by Sunday to order any Paper Sets early too...  

Note - Tutorials will be available to order online... but not till February...

Craft Spa Paper Sets and Classes At Home

I am not running any face to face scheduled classes during January and February… So I have a couple of Class At Home Kits and a Co-ordinating Paper, Card & Embellishment Set planned for January and February …

My next order will be on 9^th January… so please advise any Kits/Sets required by 2pm Sunday 9^th January latest…

Also please order any Grassy Grove bundles direct by 9^th January … as Stampin’ Up P&P direct to you is the same as I would have to charge (due to bundle values)... I will send you the free class kits as relevant (unless you tell me you prefer the more usual crafty products gift)

For January… Grassy Grove Class At Home Kit... Kits and Tutorials will be available by the end of the month...

Then for February… New Horizons Co-ordinating Paper, Card and Embellishments Sets… and Class At Home Kit ... or Free Class Kit with bundle... Kits and Tutorials will be available by the end of February... hopefully earlier!

Though please feel free to get your On The Horizon bundle ( and any more New Horizons paper) orders in straightaway... as I think this suite is going to be the most sought after... and I suggest that you tell me your intentions so I can order more paper come 10th Jan...

Note that the New Horizons papers are not available until w/c 10th Jan...

There may be more as I get into my groove… but here are the starters… Though I think you may see a bit of the Oceanfront stamps and punched clouds too...

Sunday Suite - Pansy Petals

So the Pansy Petals suite was a clear favourite suite of my customers voicing an  opinion on seeing the catalogue for the first time... 

So... live in the UK? I am happy to tell you that I have put together a co-ordinating Paper, Card & Embellishment Kit... which is particularly good value as there are a lot of colours featured in these papers! Not only all the new In Colors... but more besides... so fantastic to have a kit with some cardstock to co-ordinate with all the colours... 

But don't delay to order... as I need first round orders by 11th May to make sure I can order everything I need... Though there may be a delay for me sending out to you due to the Trinkets situation... so maybe replacement cardstock instead!

Click HERE for the video of the suite... but scroll on to see all the product images and inspirational projects...

Starting with the whole Pansy Petals suite with one click! Which is definitely the best way to order in the cuircumstances! As... please note that this is currently backordered as the Bumblebee Trinkets are already on back order... but fear not in placing an order... as the little bees will just arrive separately when they fly into the warehouse!

Consisting of the Pansy Patch Bundle ( with 10% discount)

Which in turn consists of the Pansy Patch stamps...

And the co-ordinating Pansy Dies...

And the fabulous Pansy Petals papers... check out all the sheets here... as not only do you have all those colourful pansy sheets... but 3 ginghams, a stripe, a dotty and a subtly patterned! 

These also co-ordinate so well with all the new In Colors - a match made in heaven!

And last... but very definitely not least... the Bumblebee Trinkets... which are on back order... and I highly recommend ordering these sooner rather than later as  these are very likely to go going unorderable... as they really are just fabulous! So demand has already outstripped stocks... 

And here are a few gorgeous inspirational projects... along with a few tips for you...

Now is it just me... or does the large pansy image below look like a shaggy doggy face? If someone would like to try it in relevant doggy colours - I would love to see that... as I don't have the stamps to give that idea a whirl! 

And I think the dies would work too.... again see the image below...

Look at the dies simply cutting the images from the papers...

And here's a brilliant "Cheat's Guide" of the stamps and dies...  put together by fellow talented demonstrator, Gail Ellis at Blue Rose Paper Treasures... now doesn't that make life simpler! Thank you Gail!

Wednesday Woe - Butterfly Bijou papers sold out

So sorry to have to tell you... but... the Butterfly Bijou papers have now sold out in UK & Europe and are discontinued... though I do know that some of you will be SO glad now that you got that order in...

Edited to Add - please have a laugh at my expense! Wednesday Woe... on a Thursday!! Talk about not knowing the day of the week anymore!!

Which also means that...

I am now unable to provide the previously published Butterfly Bouquet Paper Kit offers as shown below (with or without the Butterfly Brilliance bundle) Though of course you will still get a lovely gift from me if you order the bundle... as I do have a lovely pack of Botanical Butterfly papers that can be split....

The Butterfly Brilliance Collection is now discontinued too... though the stamps, dies and the Natural Touch papers are all still available...

I had a play with the papers for the first time last night during a Team Training event... so I will still share those projects soon as I know lots of you have the papers already...

True Love & Brilliant Wings Pop Out Panel Card

Love the simplicity of the Pop Out Panel cards... though I have modified the dimensions this time round... but more on that another day... Sorry... need to dash!

In the meantime this is another chance to check out the beautiful Brilliant Wings dies... see the stunning die cut butterfly top right...

Cut flowers fussy cut from the True Love papers and coloured with Stampin' Blends... 

Greeting from Happiest of Birthdays - which is definitely my go to birthday greetings set at the moment... and one that is very very likely to be a keeper! As I do so love a BIG greeting....

And check out the colouring of the papers to the sides... with just a quick "swoosh" of 2 Stampin Blends... 

And remember that I do have a co-ordinated True Love Paper Kit available ... Click here  - and scroll down - for more details

And just in case you were wondering...I had a lovely colouring session of pink flowers last night.... I am wondering if I might be getting a bit converted....

.Wednesday Wings - Co-ordinating Butterfly Bouquet Paper Kit

Edited to Add 18th March - Butterfly Bijou Papers sold out... though I do I have Botanical Butterflies I could supply instead...

And even better... you can get this for free with an order for the Butterfly Brilliance bundle OR the whole Butterfly Brilliance Collection 

Please note that the stamps are currently on back order... but currently still orderable.... with more due in next week... and so may arrive separately to the dies...
