DAY-ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE Free Shipping and Lovliest Tree with Stampin' Write Markers

 

Good morning.  To do list is written and I am off out and about very early this morning.  I shall be visiting our town center but it wont be for too long as there isnt too much there to keep me occupied anymore.

Then its a visit to the optician as I opted for varifocal glasses.  I can see the distance and I can see close up but, no middle vision at all.  This means no computer work and no reading things that are just out of view.  My optician however is amazing and he has sent off for more lenses to see if the middle vision section can be adjusted.... we shall see *no pun intended*

I woke up this morning to this news

 

 
 
Is there something that you would like to pick first?  Such a wonderful offer, especially when you get 10% of your actual order back as Stampin' Rewards to use towards something next time.  

I have been having a play with Lovliest Tree stamp set and some Stampin' Write Markers.
 

 Such a wonderful way to spend an hour or two, having a play and then turning them into cards, which I will share later.  Have you tried this technique before?
 
If you would like more information about how to do this please, do get in touch and I will see if I can help.
 
Thank you for having a read today, Tracey x

DAY - ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN Easter 2025

 


Good morning, another Monday but today is a little bit special with it being Easter Monday.  

I have had a super Easter Weekend which started with brunch with a lovely bunch of friends.  We went to Hilton, somewhere new for me and its a place I shall certainly be going one to in the very near future. 

Easter Sunday was a very quiet day, its such a special day for me and I did feel quite sad not to be with the family.  I shall make sure that next year will be a family day so that we can celebrate it together.  I did feel very lucky to have recieved so many wonderful cards and gifts and the alcohol will go down a treat *wink*

















 


 

I had spent some time getting ready for Easter and made some lovely decorations that can come out each year.










 


 



Day one, the cans were washed, scrubbed and passed on to hubby to make holes on either side, so that I could attach a handle. We had to watch our fingers though as some of the tops were very sharp.

Day two, the paint came out, an undercoat painted with a brush in the morning and then a second coat put on with a sponge in the afternoon. I cut out all the rabbits from paper napkins whilst waiting for them to dry.

Day three, using PVA glue on a brush, I stuck the napkins to the tins. I had to wait a whole day for them to dry properly.

Day four, using a brush I put a coating of modge podge all over the tins to seal them and to make sure that the rabbits couldnt escape.

Day five, added some beads to wire and then used the wire to create mock handles. The glue gun came out so that I could stick the beads in place. Added sand to each tin, pouring in through a little funnel so as not to make a mess and put the carrots in place. As the weather was so nice, I sat outside to add the moss to the top of the tins. Some ribbon was tied on.

Loved making them and it is something that I shall do again next year...I shall start saving my cans.

I also had fun with my Easter cards this year, two very different ones and I hope that the postman delivered them in time.

 


 

 Both cards were created using rather old elements from my stash. 

 

It is Derby Dabblers this Friday night, a wonderful evening with lovely ladies. I do look forward so much to this get together. If you fancied joining us you are most welcome to. 


 

No events in the Craft Room this week but you invited to pop in at any time to see the new products that I have received from Stampin' Up! and grab the 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue. Lots of bargains to be had on the sales dresser. I am always happy to pop the kettle on.

Well I had best get myself in the shower and start my day. I do hope you have a wonderful Easter Monday and thank you for having a read x

DAY-ONE HUNDREAD AND SEVEN - Mixed Florals

 

Good morning, what a lovely but chilly start to the day in my neck of the woods.  Its only 2 degrees but going up to a sunny 16 degrees this afternoon.  I shall be sat on our newly stained bench in the sunshine with a cuppa later.  I love to sit there watching the world go by.

But first I am off to the hospital for a blood test.  It seems that one doctor wants me to change my statin.  After being on it for 14 years I am told that there are better ones for me to take without side effects.  Urmmm but I dont have side effects.  So I have insisted on further investigations.  I also have a regular 3 monthly blood test for my Rhumatoid Arthritis as the injections I put weekly to help with this illness can damage my liver and kidneys so we keep an eye on that.  Then another doctor said I need blood tests for a general MOT, I do hope that they leave some blood in me today.  

This is one of the card options everyone had over the last few weeks to make using the Mixed Floral stamp set and dies.  

We started off with a thick basic white card base.  Heat embossed the Elements of Text stamp using versamark and white embossing powder, onto Soft Sea Foam card. We then created  an apature in basic white card using one of the dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.

The sentiment was stamped in Pebbled Path ink before attaching the largest die from the Mixed Floral set of dies.  The apature piece and the die cut foliage was then adhered to the Soft Sea Foam card with the embossed words before raising both layers onto dimensionals to go on the base card.  Does that make sense?  Well I love this card and the colours and cant wait to try it out again using one or two of the new Stampin' Up! 2025-2027 In Colors.  

For details of what we used to recreate this card please, have a look at the end of this post as I have added all the products.

 

 

If you have half an hour free and fancy a cuppa and crafty chat, why not pop in to the Craft Room to collect one of the new Annual Brochures and have a browse through the sales dresser?Always happy to pop the kettle on.

Well thank you so much for having a read today.  I had best get off to meet Dracula xx
