Craft Therapists Team Welcome Pack & Frog dies sold out...

Before I start on today's post ... I am really sorry to say that the Sale A Bration co-ordinating Hopping Around (Frog) dies have sold out in Europe... completely sold out! Gone...

Thought I would just share one of my Welcome Packs sent out to the lovely Barbara joining my Craft Therapists team during this Sale A Bration promotion...

And I would love to send you the same if you would like to join my team... Though you do have to live in the UK to be able to join......

And do remember that March is a particularly good time to get a Stampin' Up! Starter Kit... as you get so much more for your money during the Sale A Bration promotion...

Another £40 product (Choose £170) and the chance to get a lovely Tote Bag for just £26 (RRP £47) More information here... but please just email me if you would like to know more...

But back to my Welcome Pack...

First up... are the Cardstock Colour Swatches... featuring all 4 colour collections, the 2 In Color collections... and ... probably unique to me... the Basics swatch... as I do find that most of us have a tendency to forget about these staples of life!! So this swatch serves as a nice reminder... And I have to admit that I use my own Colours and Basics card swatches all the time... especially as so many of the colours are relatively new to us at the moment...

Secondly... the Demonstrator Welcome Brochure... This was a document initially put together ...many years ago... by our lovely Stampin' Up! UK team (Paula & Kelly)... and that I have added to and amended over the years as things Stampin' Up! have changed as we went along... so it is a wonderful starting off point as you start your SU! journey... as it details essentials and what to look for's on the SU! site (amongst other things)...

Then we have some of the lovely Botanical Butterfly papers... so that Barbara could get creating straight away...

A welcome card from me... as I am always so happy when someone joins my team... and I get to see a new SU! journey begin...

And an altered Needle Point Nook notebook... as I thought Barbara would really appreciate these lovely fabric papers... as she is a real talent with all things fabric too...

And last... but not least a Stampin' Up! Pen... well she had to have something to write in her notebook with straightaway!!! Though there is another story to the pen... wonder if you can guess what it should have been...

A project to come back to another day (or maybe when the next person joins my team!) As very unfortunately... this prototype looked better than it performed!!! #penholderfail

At Stately (or no 10 Downing Street) Home with you!!?

I thought I would give you a laugh for the weekend... this is a At Home With You card that did not quite work out as planned... some different ideas but the final overall execution... well you know... not quite what I had in my head originally!

It quickly got dubbed my Stately Home or no 10 Downing Street card (home of UK Prime Minister for those of you that don't know the address!)... or of course "another Tardis in the making" card... none of which were the original concept...

So I will just point out the details rather than comment on the whole...

Opening door this time as per the original concept of the At Home dies.... love that feature...

White picket fence care of chopped down Adirondack chairs from the Seasonal Layers dies... plus daisies care of one of the At Home With You stamp images...

And the crowning glory... Planter care of the Seasonal Layers Adirondack chair chopped down again ...and flowers from a different At Home With You pot...

So there you have it....  only taken me 4 months or so to share it!!!

Thoughtful Branches Topiary - and Spoiler Alert!

So I was asked for a Welcome to your New Home card... for someone into topiary.... so it had to be... 

The August-exclusive Thoughtful Branches was still out...so I stamped and die cut 3 leaf canopies... hand trimmed 2 of them to smaller sizes...and there you go... Love it!

The greeting and banner is from the Banners For You bundle

And Spoiler Alert.... 

There is also a Sneak Peek from the new Autumn Winter Catalogue on here.... so look away now if you don't want the spoiler......

Life saver when my pre-order box turned up!! This bush was in a cupcake base up till then.... this plant pot is SO much nicer...

Still not sure? Well... it is a punched bell... with a couple of snips... and turned upside down...perfect!! From the up and coming... Seasonal Bells... (no link as this item is not available until 1st September!)

Think you are going to like these bells!!! Stamp set, Punch or the Bundle... And definitely not just for Christmas... 

I can see a Seasonal Bells Class Kit coming on soon.... but do remember to buy your Thoughtful Branches THIS month... it is a keeper!!

Unless that is... anyone would like a Thoughtful Branches Class Kit this month!!?? I could do that even though I am not running a physical class.... mmm... Contact me here for more information
