Coffee, Craft and Chat

I love sharing crafting with others and so Coffee, Craft and Chat at local cafes is great fun and very relaxing.  Recently we've used one of the new host reward stamp sets called Tranquil Tulips to make simple cards.  I love flowers and tulips are one of my favourites so this set leapt out at me when I saw the Stampin Up catalogue. 

It is a photopolymer stamp set with texture built in giving light and shade to the leaves and also the flowers are two step stamping so you get variation in the colour intensity or of course you could use two colours.  Easy set to use as you just look through your blocks to see where to place it.

It can be ordered free by party hostesses who have earned host pounds or euros to spend, or by customers when they place a qualifying order online or via me.

You can also see that the ladies made Father's Day/Male birthday cards on this particular week using the stamp set Guy Greetings.  The card was case'd from the Stampin' Up! UK Facebook page and adapted slightly and of course some of the ladies chose their own design.

If you'd like to attend coffee, card and chat I run my get togethers at the following venues.  Also if these don't suit or you live somewhere else I can put you in touch with one of my team based around Lincolnshire, the wider UK and also in the Netherlands.

Lincoln @ The Craftea Cafe, Melville Road on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 1030am

Horncastle @ The Schoolhouse Coffee Bar on Church Lane every Wednesday at 2pm

No booking required just come along and have a go.

Stampin' Up! Thailand Achiever's Blog Hop

 Stampin' Up! Thailand Incentive Trip Achiever's Blog Hop

Welcome

Our theme this month for the Stampin' Up! Thailand Trip Achiever's blog hop is to share some sneak peeks of loveliness coming in the new catalogue next week.  I've gone for a floral theme sharing Daisy Delight, Tranquil Tulips and the ever so cute and going to be very popular This Little Piggy with her flower and tutu. 

A bold colour theme of Calypso Coral, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig really make these daisies 'pop'.   They are set on a background created with Painter's Palette with simple stamping in Fresh Fig with some added enamel dots in Calypso Coral.  The fabulous stamps, Daisy Delight, are accompanied by a daisy punch. Layer several to create flowers of your choice.

Tranquil Tulips is a two step stamping photopolymer stamp set that is a hostess gift that you can get FREE   based on sales at your party or if you place a qualifying order via my online shop or with me directly.  It is so pretty and you can build a design that suits your style.  I've used Pink Pirouette, Sweet Sugar Plum, Wisteria Wonder and Wild Wasabi.  I love the Petal Burst embossing folder which I've used on this and the card below. Either side of your card stock looks great i.e. the deboss or the embossed side.  The simple Happy Birthday is from Sprinkles of Life and as that too is photopolymer you can flex the stamp on your clear block to make it curve around a punched out banner.  

How cute is This Little Piggy! She and her friends are going to blow you away and be so much fun to use.  Here she's dressed in a Berry Burst ribbon tutu (thanks to Stampin' Up! 's Charlotte Harding for the inspiration) and is gently coloured with an aqua painter and pink ink.  Some new sparkly enamel dots and the amazing Lemon Lime Twist designer paper.  

Join my fellow demos on not only a tour of inspiration, but a tour of the Stampin' Up! world with demos across the globe.  Have fun and if you get lost you're currently with Zoe Tant in the UK.
