Gift Boxes Have Never Been Easier


I always have mixed feelings this time of year - the Retiring List is out, so I am sad at the old favourites that I have to say goodbye to, but on the other hand, the new catalogue is just around the corner. It's full of fabulous new products that I am super excited to get my hands on!  and I can't wait to show you.  There's a special offer in May, so keep an eye out for that too.

There's a few things to know about the Retiring List. Most important is that everything on the list is While Stocks Last - so get in quick! Your best option is to shop through my Online Store.

At the end of each catalogue, all bundles are retired. However, the items in the bundle may still be available individually. For example, the Dragonfly bundle is retiring, but the stamp set and framelits will still be available in the new catalogue. This is your last chance to get the bundle at a 10% discount.

There are a few products that are being reconfigured, such as the die brush and the pearls and rhinestones. They aren't going - just changing a little.

You can follow the Shop Now link  above to my Online store to order, or you can get in touch with me and I can order on your behalf. Please note that all orders must be paid for in advance, as per Stampin' Up! rules.

Watercolour Pencils

I was a bit 'whatever' about Stampin' Up's new watercolour pencils until I had a play with them.  Now I am totally hooked!!!  They are lovely to colour with and when combined with the blender pen, the results are just FAB-U-LOUS!!

Pink Chick

You can use your embossing folder as a stamp as well as embossing cardstock.  This is how the the chicken wire look was created in the background.

Ink up the embossing folder on the inside front, slip your cardstock inside, close and rub all over with your hand.  Make sure you press quite firmly and cover the entire cardstock.


If there any spots not quite inked, you can cover them up with panels as above ...

or stamp into those bare spots as below.
