Global Design Project Challenge Entry

Hi Crafters,

I'm back today to join in the Global Design Project challenge.  This week is a sketch challenge and it's a good one!  So many possibilities and the Design Team have really thought outside the box!

Here's the sketch:

I hope you like my interpretation below - I used the new Daisy punch and some of the matching Designer Series Paper.  I really love this pattern.  For the leaves I used one of the dies from the Rose Garden thinlits.  I've had this die set for a while but haven't used it much, until now!  I heat embossed my sentiment in white onto vellum and used the Triple Banner punch to add interest to the ends.  A full supply list is at the end of this post.

If you haven't managed to get a hard copy of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, let me know and I can post one out to you free of charge.  I can ship to the UK, France, Germany, The Netherland and Austria.

Happy crafting,

Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop - Hello New Friends

Hi Crafters,

I am joining the Global Stamping Friends on their tenth blog hop today.  We are saying hello to new goodies this month.  Be sure to check in with all the blogs and let us know you've visited by leaving a comment.  We love hearing from you.

As the brand new Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue launched just yesterday we are welcoming some new friends into our stamping stash.  I absolutely fell in love with the Delightful Daisy suite and knew I had to use it on my card.  The picture below shows just some of the wonderful projects that can be made with this suite.  

I created my card using the main daisy image and paired it with the Hexagons 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The daisy image also comes with a matching punch but I'll leave that one for another post!  You can also spot one of the new In Colors for 2017-19 which i have used to stamp and as the background cardstock.  It's hard to choose a favourite but Berry Burst might be nudging ahead!

I am holding my annual Open House event to celebrate the launch of the new catalogue and this will be the make and take.  I love how simply the flower layers up and gives a really effective image in no time.  The thank you sentiment is also from the Daisy Delight set and I know this will feature on several projects.

New Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue Launched

Hi Crafters,

Today is a special day!  Stampin' Up! have released their brand new shiny Annual Catalogue.  It is pretty special!  There are so many lovely products - I've managed to whittle down my favourites to just seven!  I tried for five but it wasn't possible!

You can order directly from my online store and the goodies will be shipped straight to your door.  Please use my June Host Code (ZMEX7726) if your order is less than £150 and I'll send you an extra something in the post.  Happy mail is the best mail!  If your order exceeds £150 just check out as normal and you'll receive the benefits which means free products!  It's a win-win!

These are my Top Six new products:

These projects have been created using a new stamp set called Message in a Bottle (143707) which includes 19 photopolymer stamps, including nine sentiment stamps.  These can be mixed and matched to make punny statements!

I fell in love with this 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder at first sight!  The Layered Leaves folder (143704) creates great dimension on any project.   

Wedding season is definitely upon us and this stamp set is perfect for all your loved-up occasions.  Always and Forever is available in wood (143811) and clear mount (143814) and features 6 stamps in total.

The Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack (144131) features all of the new In-Colors for 2017-19 and comprises 40 sheets - 4 each of 2 double-sided designs in 5 colors.

I almost squealed when I saw this set!  The font is bold and striking but the flowers add an elegant feminine touch.  If you are a fan of watercoloring, this is the set for you.  Be sure to add Floral Statements to your order, which is available in wood (143738) or clear mount (144701).

I did actually gasp when I saw this set demonstrated at OnStage.  You really need to see You Move Me (144002) in action.  The matching dies are a must-have too and you can order these together in a bundle (145322) and save 10%.

I hope you liked my Top Six - there really is something for everyone.  If you would like a copy of the new catalogue, simply drop me an email and I'll post one out to you free of charge.  You can find a direct link to each of the products featured at the end of this post.

Do you have a favourite yet?  I'd love to know.

Happy crafting,

Rachel x
