Sunday Suite - Bird Ballad

Another 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue Sneak Peek for you today... of a beautiful new suite called BIRD BALLAD... available on general sale from 4th June... but could be yours now in a Demo Starter Kit!

Think birds, flowers, prettiness and a fabulous new Stitched Nested Labels shape die set! What's not to love... I can't wait to start using these...

So starting off with a display board showing all of the suite elements...

And here are the elements shown separately...

Starting with the beautiful Bird Ballad papers... and thought I would try a landscape photo for you first... so you can see the whole pack in one... albeit a bit wobbly top and bottom.... 

But in case that doesn't work... here are a couple more photos so you can see all the patterns...

Then we have the Free As A Bird stamps...

And the Stitched Nested Labels dies... I foresee these being VERY popular... so order early... 

Also available as a Free As A Bird Bundle ( with 10% off) 

The wonderful Bird Ballad Tin of Laser Cut Cards with Envelopes...

 The gorgeous Bird Ballad Trinkets...

 And the fabulous Very Vanilla 1cm (3/8") Scalloped Lace Trim....

On Stage Card Swaps Part 6 - The Final Release!

And the final couple of On Stage swap cards for you today... I hope that you have enjoyed the series and that you have seen lots to inspire you...

I certainly found something inspiring in every swap I received... and for that I thank all of these lovely ladies and gents whose work I have shared over the last week or so......

This amazing One Step at a Time card using Love You To Pieces and Around the Corner ... by Lorraine Streeter (which is inspired by her daughter daily challenges, successes and strength with her grand son's autism)

And lastly... this stunning Butterfly Gala creation by "undeclared"

And I hope to be back to more normal service at some point... 

Life has taken an unexpected turn and become a tad "busy" recently... as my mother has been( and still is!) very poorly and is now in hospital awaiting an essential operation... so a few hours have been (and will be) taken visiting daily... 

As well as just having a few days away dropping son off at university and sightseeing around Wales... Which was fabulous... even if a shorter break than planned in the circumstances...  But Wales never disappoints...

It will be a little while till I can find a balance again... but please bear with me... it will come... In the meantime.... thanks for your continued support...

On Stage Card Swaps Part 5 - The Bluey Blues

And so to the penultimate trio...

Starting off with a beautiful Enjoy Life & Butterfly Gala fancy fold card by the lovely Gill Moore...

A stunning Tropical Chic beauty by Lynn Cheesmur...

And finishing off with a super Lovely As a Tree & Hardwood creation by (sadly) unknown... and even more sadly... I still can't believe that the Lovely as a Tree set is finally retiring! It has been with us in Europe since the beginning of Stampin Up!... and it has certainly had a lot of use around here... but more of that on another day! And note... both these stamp sets are now discontinued in Europe... so sadly no more!

Thank you for swapping with me ladies...
