Botanical Blooms & Botanical Builder dies

Retiring soon... so a round up post of some of my makes using Botanical Blooms & Builder dies over the years.... this has been a very popular set of dies... last chance now... but rather nicely discounted for you... details at the end of this post...

Click on the project photo to go that blog post for more information...

Botanical Builder dies reduced 30% from £30 to £21

Botanical Blooms stamps reduced 25% from £15 to just £11.25... great leaves, flowers and feathers(at the Top Left!) And brilliant for a One Sheet Wonder session...

And for completeness... here are some projects Stampin Up! made...

Retiring Bundles - My Top 10

I have been asked by a few people to have a good honest look at the bundles.. and decide on a Top 10 List... 

Boy was this hard... especially with the split of all components retiring and those with the components carrying over come 1st June but with no discount... but here goes...

First up... stands out all on its own... Letters For You!

If you want the stamps as well as the dies... now is REALLY the time!! As otherwise you never will... these are top of my most essential dies ever list - they are used virtually every day - and I would not be without them... but yes they cost! 

So as a one-off Craft Spa special for you during APRIL only... Bundle RRP £119.50... Order the bundle via me for just £99 (using your credit or debit card). Bear in mind the dies alone are £89. Contact me here to order or for more information.

So firstly The Top 5 in bundles where everything will go! 

Nailed It ...

Can't believe this one doesn't carry over... Dies all gone but the stamps are still available... and the images are quite easy to cut out by hand after all... Wood mount £26. Clear Mount £19. 

Balloon Adventures...

Bundle £48.50. but...

Stamps only reduced from £24 to £19.20. Balloon Pop Up dies £30 to £21. Which makes the 2 parts just £40.20...so buy them separate!

I have been very surprised how much I have used these stamps as the greetings alone are brilliant... and the Pop Up die is just cool!

So Detailed/So In Love...

These So Detailed dies have been very popular round here... and they are now reduced to £21 from £30... so now is the time! And both the wood mount (£21.25 from £25) and clear mount (£13.50 from £18) mount So In Love stamps are reduced too.. so again buy the 2 parts separate if you desire... the stamps being useful but not essential in my opinion! Though great for wreaths!

Custom Tee...

Again amazed these have not carried over... so much you can do with them... and for so many events/ages... and though not totally me - I was really looking forward to having a good play with them as I have a long list of things to try out... and do bear in mind that they have been my 2nd most popular selling bundle...

Bundle £40.50. Dies £22 reduced to £15.40 . Stamps £23. So again cheaper to buy separate.

And lastly in this Top 5.... Special Reason ... (though I have just spent 10 minutes arguing with myself that it should be Basket Bunch as I used that one a lot more!! Read more about that one here...)

Again it is the Stylish Stems dies that have proven most popular... and a really good price at £16.80 from £28. Though the flower and leaves stamps do complete the package in my opinion... maybe worth buying the clear mount stamps too at just £14.40 (from £18) as I do think you get a lot for your money with both...

Second up... bundles currently available with the 10% discount... but no such discount after 1st June... oh gosh pick just 5...! 

Dragonfly Dreams... 

Discounted Bundle £42.25

Floral Phrases... 

Trust me on this one!!! You will be wanting it all after 1st June if you haven't got it all already... Discounted Bundles Wood mount £44. Clear Mount £37.75

Jar of Love...

Discounted Bundle £48.50

Flourishing Phrases...

Discounted Bundles Wood Mount £63. Clear Mount £53

Falling Flowers...

Wood Mount £47.50  Clear Mount £41.25

So those are my Top Picks!

Pop of Pink... Round Up post...

Had some great use of - and fun with - these Pop of Pink papers this year... for lots of different occasions... and suitable for both males and females.... BUT soon to retire ... though still in stock as of now... as all retiring products only while supplies last... 

Definitely a great pack of papers... although I have just spotted that I haven't used my favourite large gold polka dot piece... I think that may come in useful for something BIG I am working on this week.... I must have known...

Retiring Soon... Basket Bunch & Basket Builder

Here is a quick round up of some of the Easter projects I used them for... and I made a matching Happy Birthday card too...but the photo escapes me for the moment...
