Sneak Peek... and Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Flowers & Leaves

Welcome to the international Global Stamping Friends May blog hop. You are now visiting Amanda Bates at The Craft Spa... in England...

And I have a lovely new product to share with you today... called Mosaic Mood...  which is perfect for our blog hop theme of flowers and leaves... Such beautiful papers along with a matching suite of products...

So after carefully fussy cutting the gorgeous flowers and humming bird from the papers... I realised that the original Pop Up Front Step Panel Card shared with you last month was the perfect fold to show them off...

We were lucky enough for these papers to be an all attendee giveaway at the recent Stampin' Up! On Stage event...

And these papers do need to be seen to be believed... not only do you have the stunning mosaic (or tessellation) pattern and texture going on... but many also have a high gloss finish... so they really do look like tiles on a sheet!!

And here is the display board photo so you can see the whole Mosaic Mood suite coming your way from 3rd June...

Though please do remember to click and contact me now if you are in the UK ... and are interested in a Paper, Card, Ribbon & Embellishments Kit - or a Product Suite Kit (stamps and/or embossing folder too)... Reservations for pre-orders will be taken now...

And with that I will leave you... and pass you onto the lovely Marieke Bart in the Netherlands..

Just click on the big arrow below to go straight there... or use the list provided below if you prefer to hop that way!

Enjoy the rest of your travels... and enjoy your inspirational creative journey around the world ... wherever this blog hop will take you...

And a last couple of words from me... Yes it folds flat to go in an envelope...

And a word of warning! This card is a very tight fit in my square envelope... so do remember to stamp your wording and stick your flowers and bird on whilst using your envelope as a guide!!

Some more 3D Treat Packaging... the Blues & Neutrals

And so we come to the end of the two series... with the Blues & Neutrals range of team table favours... 

And as I had to do a quick double check... a bit of education for you today too!!!  The word "series" is both singular and plural...  according to https://preply.com/en/question/plural-of-series

So quickly back to my treats... which are all made but shared with no name... sad face!

Stitched Rectangle Country Home Green & Blacks chocolate bar box 

 Love this simple idea with 2 of the same size rectangles..

One glued for the lid and one not glued for the base... which is a great way of ensuring that the base fits inside the lid!

Botanical Tags chocolate feast bag ... 

Best Route Kinder wrap ...

Fable Friends "cute Geisha lipsalve" pillow box... cute outside and cute inside... and sorry not got the where-with-all (ie all the kit and sample!) to take another photo with the cute lip-salve...

And Lotus Biscoff biscuits in a Happiness Blooms wrapped Envelope Punch Board box

And so endeth the Ultra-3D-packaging & treats shares over the last fortnight... with which I hope you have found some inspiration... I certainly have... though I do  have the advantage of savouring the taste too!!

10 Wednesday WOWs - Everything is Rosy product medley

Available now... Stampin' Up's first "product medley"... and I hope this is the first of many of these "medleys"... called Everything is Rosy (think a posy of flowers and Rose Gold!!!) 

And I have a hunch that this is going to be very popular... especially with all the Rose Gold in it! Only while supplies last... 

A STUNNING co-ordinating kit of product shipped in a box including a stamp set, co-ordinating dies, patterned paper, ribbon, die-cuts, Foil Sheets and Shimmer Paint. Lots included for endless creative opportunities... But... available May 2019 only...

With a very popular ROSE GOLD shine...  All for just £74. But beware this is so beautiful that I don't think supplies will last the whole month!

Want to see more... well just click here ( or on the icon below) to load up the product video... 

OR keep scrolling for 10 samples to inspire you... 

Aren't they all SO pretty... and it is all in the box... for maximum crafty goodness and play time! So much to co-ordinate... and to love...
