Bouquet of Hope card from Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin kit

 A lovely start to the week, waking up to sunshine, cant beat it.

 I was so happy to open up my Bouquet of Hope kit yesterday and get to make a few cards.  

The kit has everything that you need to make 9 cards but then you have the stamp set, the ink pad, ribbon and other elements left over to make even more.  This is what is included and all for £20


I didnt follow the instructions for my first card and created this.


I cut up one of the very pretty envelopes and used the patterned paper to make the background for my panel.  I mounted this onto some Bumblebee card and attached some ribbon.  There are a few more nearly finished which I can share with you later in the week.  If you would like to order one of these kits, please click on the icon below or get in touch with me and I will happily order one for you.


A bit more time in the garden today and to finish off the cards I started yesterday.  Thank you for having a read and I hope you have a wonderful day.  Tracey x

 



 





Sunday

Sunday with golden patterned acetate, pretty paper, golden bee and an embossed piece of card


Good morning and it was a late start to my Sunday but isnt that what Sundays are for?  After a busy day yesterday, seeing lots of folk too, I intend to have a slower day today but my list is ready.  If you didnt already know, I make a list each morning and work down it.  If I dont have my list I find that I just dont achieve much at all.

As it is Sunday we will have a roast lunch, today it is beef and yorkshire puddings.  I am so lucky as it is hubby who does most of the cooking of the lunch as he enjoys it and who am I to stop him from doing something he enjoys.  I do wash all the pots and do all the cleaning in between and afterwards though.

I made another card mixing gold patterned acetate, pretty papers and gold card this time.  Of course the little bee is added however I put a piece of embossed card into the mix today.

 


I love how this turned out.  Hope you do too.

Not too long before Stampin' Up has a whole new catalogue to browse through.  If you would like a copy please, do get in touch.   The new catalogue for 2021-2022 starts on 4th May and I will be very happy to help you with your ordering, if you dont already have a demonstrator to help you.  



In case you didnt know, Stampin' Up! are introducing some wonderful new colours, these are know as the 'In Colors" (spelt the American way).  This year we have the following

They are so pretty in the flesh, so to speak.  If you would like a bookmark with these new colours on it, please do let me know as I shall be very happy to get one to you.

I am also holding a Zoom catalogue launch.  

 If you are not too sure about using Zoom, and we have some lovely weather, why not pop in and I will happily share with you some new products, new colours, cards already made, some embellishments all over a socially distanced cup of tea in the garden.  Just get in touch with me to arrange a mutually convenient time and day. 

If you would like to join in with us on Zoom, please let me know so that you can pop in and collect a couple of card kits.  While you are here you you can stamp out some images to use on the day.  

Well I had best go and get sorted, there is a wonderful Paper Pumpkin kit calling me to be used.  I hope to get in the craft room after lunch to see what I can make.

If you would like to get your hands on a Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! I will be very happy to order one for you.  You may collect it from me in Alvaston, Derby or we can get it delivered direct to your home.
I will be very happy to help you get your hands on one of these kits, whilst supplies last.



 

 





 

Product List

Saturday

Golden patterned acetate with golden bees and pretty papers

Good morning and another day of sunshine is forecast.  Well I can certainly cope with that.  It means after a few chores and visiting mum and dad, I get a day in the garden and the craft room.  I am full of excitement and ideas to make some cards using the patterned acetate from Stampin' Up! and the fine art floral papers, both listed below.

 

  Product List

 I made this card yesterday and I hope to make another one or two similar today.  The papers and acetate are just so lovely to work with.



 Did you see the golden coloured bee?  This is a sneak peak from the new catalogue that will be going live on 4th May.  Not got a catalogue yet?  please do get in touch as I have them some available. 

Wishing you a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for having a read.  Tracey x



 

 





 

Monday

Bouquet of stamps on a Monday

Good morning, another start to another week and an early one for me today.  My neighbour had a lift at 5.10 this morning, the driver decided to pip his horn numerous times to let my neighbour know he was waiting.  Oh well, I am taking advantage of the extra couple of hours.

We had a great Zoom get together yesterday, posponed from Saturday due to the state funeral.  We made a bouquet of flowers using various different stamp sets and this is what I created.




 It was lovely to catch up with everyone and spend an hour with crafty friends.  If you would like a little more detail on how to make these, please do let me know.

 




If you would like to join in on Wednesday for a Zoom get together to make a tri fold card similar to the one above, please do let me know.  

It is a great time being a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! as it gives me the chance to see the brand new catalogue that will be going live at the beginning of May.  Each year Stampin' Up! introduce 5 new 'In Colors' and these are what they are.  I cant wait to get my hands on these as I think they are lovley.








 

As I did last year, I shall offer a share of papers, ribbons, card, dots etc. in the new 'In Colors' from May - September.  More details will follow.

I shall be holding a catalogue launch, on line, for the brand new 2021 Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  I would love to invite everyone into the Craft Room but we are not allowed to do that just yet.  So I am planning a great day over zoom as we did last year.  


 



It would be wonderful if you could join us and take part in either the make and take or the craft bingo or anything else that we will be doing on the day.  A full time table of events will be shared very soon.  Let me have your email address if you would like to join in the fun.

Would you like a catalogue?These should be with me later this week and I shall happily get one out to you as soon as they arrive. 

Thank you for having a read and I do hope you have a wonderful day.  If I can help in anyway, please do contact me.  Tracey x
