~{Wreath making class}~

Just had a lovely morning with the Butterflies Friendship Group in Welshpool, we made these!

I love seeing people's creativity!

The spiral flower die makes light work of making the paper roses.

Please contact me if you would like me to teach you how to do these at a class.

~{Wedding card and pressie}~

Last week I had the pleasure of going to a family wedding.  We made use of the time down south and visited friends and family before the wedding itself on the Wednesday.  A couple of days before we headed off, a friend of mine contacted me as she needed a wedding card for a couple she was bridesmaid for.  So, as time is of an essence I decided to make the two cards the same design apart from the names and dates of course!

I love crocheting when I'm not paper crafting, and have recently enjoyed making ombre blankets.  Here are pics of the present and the card that went with it.

~{simple flower tutorial}~

Wow, there is lots of news to update you on in Stampin' Up! world.

But before I do, I just wanted to share this quick picture tutorial for making shaped flowers.

I was inspired by a picture in the current (2013-2014) catalogue (pg150) and am kicking myself I had not noticed it before!

I hope the pictures are self explanatory, however before you all start asking me if you are meant to have a notch cut out of one of the flowers...can I explain that it was a tight squeeze getting three flowers out of the paper I had, and because I knew it would be covered up it didn't matter that I couldn't fit it in.

Please let me know if you create something pretty using this method.

On with the news! 

The new catalogue is imminent, so this means the retirement list is out, basically there are products that get "retired" too make way for new ones.  Stampin' Up! release a list of these products a month before the new catalogue so that you can have the opportunity to nab them before they disappear for good.

You can see the retirement list and what is still in stock {here}, there are also new items in the clearance rack {here}.  If there are items you can't live without please order them via my online shop as products are selling out every day.

The other way to nab yourself a bargain is to sign up as a demonstrator!  Until the end of June you can sign up for only £50!  In return you can choose £55 of product and get £45 worth of business materials to get you started (you can even choose items from the clearance rack).  By signing up asap you will get to preview the new catalogue and even be able to pre order products before other people see them!
