My first make

I could rave for too long about the box of stuff that arrived at my door today.  Let's just say it was a little under 10kg of kit!

So I started playing around.  And here is what I made...

 It is from the Boutique Boxes Bundle (131104) in the Spring/Summer book.  Everything to decorate 8 adorable boxes in in there, more stuff than I have used on this first box.

 The back of the box. Bare in mind this is the first Stampin' Up! item I have EVER made, I am pretty pleased!  Now to choose designs to make 7 more...

At the moment I am using it to store the little note cards that come in the set.

When I saw the kit in the book, I thought the buttons looked a little plastic and cheap looking, but now it is here I am so glad I got it because they aren't at all. They have a kind of glass effect.  I chose the version of the bundle with the stamps included and again, I am very pleased I did that. There are three little phrases, which I will show you when I have made up some more of the boxes.

Enough raving for one day? I think it will do.

Big day!

My SU starter kit is due to arrive today and I am so excited!

I have been tracking the parcel on UPS across Europe and I just hope it comes fairly early today so that I can take Oliver out to enjoy some of this gorgeous sunshine.

When the box comes there may be a squeak of delight coming from my flat and hopefully the baby won't decide he needs attention right at that moment! Hahaha

New colour range

Stampin' Up! are revamping their core colour range.

If you are new to them and don't know, they co-ordinate their products into colour families so that crafting beautiful items is possible for everyone, no matter your experience. And finding perfect combinations is as easy as can be.

Every three to five years they pledge to review the colour families so that we as customers always have the most interesting and useful materials. Since this policy was launched in 2010, it is time for the first revamp!

In the next Annual Catalogue (launched this summer) there will be some new editions and some retiring as you can see on the chart.

If you love any of the discontinuing colours, then now is the time to stock up on inks, papers, pens, and all sorts of accessories!

And remember my 10% off promotion which will continue until the end of May. Then they are gone for good! But lots to look forward to as well.

Gift vouchers now available!

If you know someone who would love some new crafting goodies, why not get them a Stampin' Up! Gift voucher?

Ask me for whatever amount you want to spend and make payment to me in the usual way. I will send out a voucher for that amount in a pretty envelope to which ever address you give me.

The recipient can then browse the catalogue and place an order with me using the unique code printed on their gift voucher!

Easy peasy.
