Postcard Collage !

Good Morning ! Do you find that the more you have to do the more you actually get done !!! It is probably the excitement of lots of new stash - most of it stored and untouched - but I am without doubt on a crafting high at the moment !!! So many ideas and so many gorgeous new products to play with - Stampin' Up really have excelled themselves when putting together the new  catalogue ! You know I like to make stamped collages so here is a simple one I have put together using the large new Postcard stamp; it's for my ladies who come to my regular Friday workshop ! 

Thank you for dropping by - happy crafting !

Enjoying the New Colours !

Morning ! Despite the fact that I spend most of the day melting in the heat ( LOL ! ) I am amazingly still managing to craft - albeit at a very slow pace !!!! Today I have a card made using the new colours and a mix up of old and new stamp sets ! 

Supplies : 

Stamp Sets : Happy day , Viola's lace wheel , Everything Eleanor , Morning meadow (  hostess ) and Papaya collage

Accessories : Simply pressed clay and buttons and blossoms mould.

Card Stock : pistachio pudding and crisp cantaloupe 

Punches : pansy and bird builder 

I ran the label from Papaya collage through the scoring board to give it a little texture ! It just nice to add layers of interest to your card and a bit of dimension ! 

Busy this week so must crack on with the work ! Happy crafting !

"HAPPY DAYS" - Monthly Kit !

Hello ! 
Just a quick second post today to tell you about my new monthly kit which launched at the same time as the new 2013/2014 catalogue. The kit this month is based around the lovely stamp set - Happy Days ! The kit represents great value for money and is designed to give you Stampin' Up supplies that co-ordinate so putting together a project is easy - I even pop in an inspiration sheet and some complimentary die cuts/punched shapes.
The photo below shows the kit including the add-on Beautifully Baroque stamp set - the basic kit costs £30 and £39.75 with the add-on. 

This kit is available from me on pre-order and will continue to be available for the duration of this years catalogue. Each month a new kit will also be available and details will be posted here. 

For more details about the kit and how to buy it please contact me via the email address on my profile page above ( available in the UK only, sorry ).

Happy crafting ! Hugs Jane x

Summer Silhouettes and New Colours !

Hello ! We are roasting here in the UK !!! No matter what the weather we always complain and we are so not used to this heat !!! I think we all felt for Andy Murray yesterday at Wimbledon but what a result - I was so thrilled for him ! Anyway, back to the crafting and a little card  would like to share with you made using the some of the new pastel colours and Summer Silhouettes  ! 

This stamp set is not one that first appealed to me but as soon as the new colours arrived I knew I had to have it !!! I just imagined how it would look in the new colours and you can make cards so quickly just stamping a little collage !!! Great for a quick birthday card !!! 

I'm loving the new inks - can you tell ?? Another card tomorrow and then something different towards the end of the week ! My new stash has arrived today and my customer orders so a fun afternoon to look forward to !!! 

Thank you so much for you visit ! Hugs Jane xx

Everything Eleanor gets a Makeover with the New Colours !

Hello !! I'm taking a few moments out of the Wimbledon final to quickly share this card with you ! So, non of my usual waffle !!!! Just a quick note to say that I have not used this lovely stamp set for so long and thought how lovely it would be to update it with the gorgeous new colours ! 

It's lovely to give a well loved stamp set a new lease of life ! I've added a new sentiment from the stamp set Happy Days and popped a single floret from the vanilla flower trim smooched onto a crisp cantaloupe ink pad !!!Simple and clean for me but I loved making it !!! I have fallen in love with EE all over again !!! 

Happy Sunday and I hope Andy wins !!!! Back to the tennis now !

Hugs Jane xxx
