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!

Sneak Peak- the new 2019-2021 In Colors... Celebrate With Cake

A quick but lovely sneak peek for you today... and not just One Sneak Peek ... but Six... well rather more actually... as I have another display board share for you...

Edited to Add - A (very) few of you will be saying... but I saw this post already... but for you - there is now MORE to see!  As yes oops! It had a sneak peek of its own last Friday... and then briefly on Saturday too! But it wasn't finished and ready to go... and it was amongst a myriad of posts... so I took it down... and so it is here today! This way you can all see it! 

One thing to love about a new annual catalogue are the new In Colors! 
While it's always sad to say goodbye to five colours we've grown to love, it's always so exciting to welcome five new colours to create with. 

And I LOVE these... each and every one... so I think you will too... Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy. 
Oooh... spot the new papers! And GORGEOUS ribbons...

My favourite two are Pretty Peacock and Seaside Spray... and I just can't wait for them to arrive so I can get creating...

But I would love to know which your 2 favourites are... so feel free to leave a comment... or drop me a message!
Oooh! New Stampin Blends... even though I missed one duo of this photo! And I do have to laugh as it took me SO long to realise that these squiggles on a piece of white card on the Display Boards meant new Stampin Blends !!
And... new embellishments to match!

Live in the UK? Be sure to contact me to pre-order your collection on 2 June and get creating straightaway with five fresh, fabulous new colours. Monthly Colour Club OR I Want Them All Now options available!

Oh and the 6th Sneak Peek... the stamped images are from a brand new stamp set, Celebrate With Cake...  and this will be a fairly exclusive peek of the set!! As it was my Prize Patrol take-away from On Stage
Coming your way sometime soon... So more of that to share in May... But a great stamp set with images and greetings for all occasions... a great all-rounder and "first-er" set...

Oh and be sure to order your consumables for those retiring In Colors if they are your favourites! Only available while supplies last...

On Stage Card Swaps Part One.... The Pinks...

I love to create a project... make lots of said project... and then take part in the General swap at the Stampin' Up! events...

It is not obligatory... and it does take a bit of time up front... but it is fun... and you get to meet ( & know) other people... and become very inspired... as well as have some projects to share with stamp sets and papers etc that you haven't got...
So I have been making for and sharing such beauties with my ladies for many a year... but this year I thought it high time to share more widely... and so I have a few Swap Series for you... the 3D series already being shared over the past few weeks...

And so now I come to the cards... And I don't think any day will disappoint ... as there are some real beauties in here... with something for everyone...

And a big thank you to all these ladies for swapping with me...

Varied Vases card above sadly with no name.. but using a fabulous "vase wrap technique" way with the Metallic Thread
 Country Home beauty by my lovely Jems teamie Hayley Shaher...
Colourful Seasons gorgeousness by Lynne Fahey
 Beautiful Promenade Bridge Fold card stunner by Karen Henderson...
Best Bunny & Country Floral embossed complete and utter cutie by Lola Lorenz... who had joined us in Telford all the way from Germany...
Amazing  Amazing Life, Stitched Labels & Well Written shaker card by Carol Willis...
Dandelion Wishes & Beauty Abounds fabulous hanger by Joyce Jones...
Super Duper Piece of Cake and Incredible Like You by card Allyson Longe. Remember that this bundle is now finally back in stock for a while.. and that it won't have the extra 10% discount come the new catalogue from 4th June...

Told you you wouldn't be disappointed... so much inspiration here... and don't forget to contact me if you would like any further information on any of the cards... it may be a while before I get back to you as I may not be in the same location! But I will get back to you...
