Blooming Phrases and Along These Lines

I have 2 new stamp sets to showcase in todays Craft and Chat replay, Blooming Phrases and Along These Lines.

But first, did you miss me??? Brian and I have been away for a couple of weeks, traveling and having adventures. I hope you enjoyed the blog posts and emails whilst I was gone.

We went on a cruise and then to Disney for the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip. We have had a wonderful time, come back needing a rest (as is always the case from a good holiday!) I will share some pictures in a blog post in a few days, we saw Sloths and Grogu! Any more Star Wars fans out there?

So back to the crafting, whilst we were away the NEW Annual catalogue launched along with online exclusives and new kits, so many new products! I would love to know what your favourites are, please leave a comment or email me to let me know. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been sharing projects with some of my favourite products and in this video I share a couple more.

I really don’t mind the organic nature of my oval ( or wonky if you prefer…..) of course you can get a more perfect shape if you draw a pencil line first.

I shared how to ink up a Cloud Cover ink spot, and over inked it! Did I mention I had jet lag??? Anyway, less is more in this case, please don’t flood your ink spot like I did!

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK, and raining, of course it is, so no chance to catch up on the gardening, its gone crazy whilst we’ve been away! I thought I’d get some work done instead and I’ve moved my weekend to Monday – Tuesday as its my birthday.

57 times round the sun, blimey, when you say it out loud it seems a long time! I’m truly grateful that I get to spend so much time with you all, crafting is as essential to me as breathing, thank you for being on this journey with me.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I’ll be back soon!

Required disclaimer : Earning the incentive trip is achieved by less than 1% of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators worldwide. I’m incredibly grateful for my customers, team, subscribers, friends, and family who support me and my business!
