Recharging on a Sunday

Good morning, Had a pretty good nights sleep last night.  It was gone 5am when I woke this morning so things are improving.  Another day or two and I will be back to normal, well as normal as I can be for me.  We went off for our Flu jabs yesterday. I do normally suffer with a swollen arm and it is quite achy for a few days after this but fortunately, so far so good.   I had my Covid vacination prior to going away and Paul will have his in a couple of weeks.  

 It is a Sunday lunch today, we have missed this whilst we have been visiting the daughters.  In between that I hope to clear up The Craft Room, put some things away and put some bits and pieces up for sale. I do like a bit of a declutter.  

Whilst away I found some of the most lovelest files,

I am a sucker for anything like these.  I shall be using these to pop cards in that I hope to create with you on-line in an evening.  Arent I getting organised.  I already have one for tonight so, if you fancy a bit of a get together, in the facebook group The Craft Room, Derby - Craft Forum at 6.30, I will be there. 

For those of you that didnt make it to the live world card making day that Stampin' Up! held, here is a link that you can watch.  https://events.stampinup.com/worldcardmakingday/video

Stampin’ Up! have released this brand new kit and I must admit, mine is on its way to me and should be here on Monday.  I cant wait to share it with you.

• The kit includes
• One 8" x 10" (20.3 x 25.4 cm) monthly planner with space to record birthdays each month as well as a pocket sleeve to hold birthday cards. 
• 12 full-size birthday cards, 6 of 2 designs, and 12 coordinating envelopes.
• Glue Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Adhesive-Backed Embellishments, and Tear & Tape Adhesive
• Die-cut florals and pieces ready for you to use—no prep work required! 
• Sticker sentiments and die-cut labels in Dutch, English, French, and German
• Coordinating colours: Basic Black, Evening Evergreen, Petal Pink, Sahara Sand, and Soft Succulent
• It is priced at £24 and with the offer of FREE postage, an ideal time to order one.  I think that it would make an ideal Christmas present too

There is also another kit that has been launched and I totally missed it.  Well I have been rather busy so I think its acceptable,

* Christmas Gifting Photopolymer Stamp Set
* Acrylic Stamp Block
* Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin’ Spot
* Pre-designed projects
* Step-by-step instructions
* Pre-cut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
* Makes 9 sets: 3 each of 3 designs
* Sized to fit standard gift cards
* Enough adhesive to complete projects
* A 9-7/8" x 6-1/2" x 2-3/4" (25.1 x 16.5 x 7 cm) printed designer box for storage or crafting on the go

How about some Christmas tags and Gift Wallets?  This kit comes with everything listed above and at the price of £20 I think it is something well worth having.  I am just about to order mine.  I am sure that once I have made up the tags and wallets in the kit, I will be getting out my Double Sided Christmas Papers and making up a few more.  

As if that wasn’t enough to start off the brand new month and the new Stampin’ Up! year

Offers, new kits and FREE card making session on line

Good morning from a rather chilly and damp Derby.  We finally got home and I am getting sorted today, in between naps.  The flight was over night and we caught the 'Link' bus from the airport to our home in the early hours.  We only had a bit of a walk but to be honest, the fresh air at that time in the morning was wonderful.  I am unsure what the neighbours must think as I did quite a bit of giggling walking down the street.  I managed to get just over 3 hours sleep so will be napping on and off today.  It will most definately be an early night tonight too.

A wonderful start to the week with lots of news and offers from Stampin’ Up!

Good morning and phew, what a weekend.  The temperatures soared up, over 40 degrees  inland and a 35-37 degrees on the coast.  We made it to the beach on Saturday and enjoyed coffees, ice creams, sandwiches and milkshakes with all the family, including the boys mum.  Dogs came along too and it was lovely in the breeze.  Unfortunately yesterday wasn’t quite the same.  It was so hot and my feet swelled up so much it was painful to walk.  I ended up spending the day in the air conditioning and with my feet up, phew. 

Today we have a lovely cool breeze so hopefully, things will be easier.  

Did you join in the fun on Saturday at the Stampin’ Up! world Card Making Day?  If you didn’t but you would like to watch the reply, here is a link   https://events.stampinup.com/worldcardmakingday/video

Here are another couple of cards made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and the Stampin’ Write pens.

No sentiments on them as yet as they are all ready for when I need them.  Do you make cards and leave sentiments off or are they always completely finished?

On Tuesday, for one day only Stampin’ Up! are offering FREE shipping.  If you only want a few bits and bobs, let me know and I shall add them to my order.  Not everyone has £60 worth of crafting items that they need so I will be very happy to place an order at 8pm with lots of bits and pieces for everyone.

Also on Tuesday, Stampin’ Up! Have a brand new kit on offer

• The kit includes
• One 8" x 10" (20.3 x 25.4 cm) monthly planner with space to record birthdays each month as well as a pocket sleeve to hold birthday cards.

Hello October, Birthday card and new get togethers

Good morning on this, the first day of October.  We have lots of colour changing leaves, cold mornings and cozy evenings to look forward to as well as lots of crafty events taking place in The Craft Room and on line.

Here is a photo that has caused some giggles over the last few days.

I am in the process of updating the blog, throughout the day, it’s quite tricky with the internet access so apologies if things don’t seem quite right.

It was Sheila’s birthday recently and I had seen a card on Pinterest that I loved and I wanted to have a go at making something similar.

To start with I stamped the floral images onto Very Vanilla card, making sure I added some up the sides of the card as well.With one of the Stampin’ Up! Masks and crumb cake ink I used a blending brush to go over all the blank areas.  I removed the mask and continued using crumb cake on the blending brush to darken all the edges, especially the corners.  The  sentiment is computer generated, fussy cut and then dusted over with crumb cake ink.  

I shall be making another very similar card during the month of October online.  If you would like to have a go at the same time, with your own crafting supplies that would be wonderful. It will take place on Facebook in a group called The Craft Room, Derby - Craft Forum on Monday 10th October at 6.30pm. If you are not already a member, plenty of time to join. 

Our first October in person get together  is this Friday with our Christmas Card and Chatter Night in The Craft Room.

It would be wonderful if you could join us for a few hours of Christmas card/project making.  Not sure where the Craft Room is?  Just get in touch (details are below) and I will send you address details of the venue.
