I have far too many favourites already, but here's a couple that I know are going to get lots of use from me!

The new In Colours are fabulous!

I have two classes scheduled using this amazing Kit on 22nd and 23rd June, an email was sent out separately regarding this, spaces are limited on each date so book early!

Oh My!!  A Planner, how exciting is that for all of us who love to get organised, BUT it's not just for planning your everyday events, I'm hoping to do so much more with this great new product, I hope you will join me at an upcoming event, watch this space!

I fell in love with this set called "Bike Ride" when I was given it at On Stage in Amsterdam in April, I can finally now order the co-ordinating dies to go with it and they are sure to be first on my wish list!

"This Little Piggy", sooooooo cute!!

And announcing.......

MEMORIES AND MORE

Stampin' Up! have designed their own system for preserving your memories by way of storing your photographs, a pocket system like we had previously, but at a much lower price which is brilliant.  Each card set includes stickers and acetate layers and all in our own fabulous colours to co-ordinate with things that you already have.

I will be holding classes and events helping you to keep control of how you store your photographs, maybe you aren't in the habit of printing them off and simply store them on your phones or on discs?  Well I'm going to show you how easy it is to create pages that can be shared with others and passed down through generations, such a rewarding process and something that you don't have to give away like the cards you make!

So that was just a very brief look at some of my favourites so far, I hope you managed to get to the bottom of this post before heading off to view the Online Version!

Cards for men

Why do we find it so hard to make cards for the men in our lives, I know most of us are in the same boat on this one.

Creating a pretty card is just too easy isn't it, but when we need one for a middle aged man I always struggle.  I find making cards for little ones much less challenging, but older men is tricky, I know I'm not alone!

I recently ran a class using the High Tide stamps that are in the Spring/Summer Catalogue, and I'm happy to say they will be carrying over into the new 2017/18 Annual Catalogue.

 So here's a creation made with the set....

I used one of the scallop squares dies from the Layering Squares set, placing my top plate away from one edge of the die so as not to cut a square, then I replaced it back into my big shot and cut the other end doing the same with my top plate, I think I need to do a tutorial post on how this is done with pictures to explain!

A very simple card to create, the sponging adds a lovely effect

We made 2 other cards at the class and I will be back to share these with you soon, in the meantime, don't forget we still have the retired list available with lots of reduced items so why not check it out

Carousel Birthday hand stamped and packaged treat bags

I'm sure by now you all know how much I love to give a treat, it really is about the packaging for me, love creating it and love giving it too!

Today I'm sharing a little chocolate treat I gave to some ladies at a recent class and I loved making them so much I made a bunch for some team members as we were having a meeting!

I've used the lovely set "Carousel Birthday" from the Spring/Summer Catalogue, the greeting I used from the set is perfect for gift giving and I love the flourish that surrounds it.

It was cut out using the Layering Ovals dies which are a must have, in fact all of the layering dies are amazing, I use them so often.I teamed my black stripy cupcake holder with Delightful Dijon, created a base for one of our cello bags and then adding a banner tag with more cardstock and some co-ordinating Dijon ribbon, the little peg has sadly retired but I needed to use up my stock!

I was really pleased with how it turned out and everyone loves Chocolate Teacakes so smiles all round, pretty packing and chocolate, a great combination!

If you would like to make little creations to give as gifts, why not come along to a class or simply place an order online with me to purchase some lovely Stampin' Up! products to get creative with.
