Happy New Year

It's been a bit quiet on my blog for the last few weeks, Christmas happened and time disappeared!

I'm back today with some products from the new Spring/Summer seasonal and to tell you all about Saleabration.  Stampin Up!  are nothing if not generous and if you place a £45 order with me during Saleabration you can choose an item (or more if your order is bigger) for free from a selection of stamps, papers, ribbons, and there are some fantastic choices.
 Stampin Up! are also offering you the chance to join my team, and for a limited time get £170 worth of Stampin Up! goodies of your choice all for £99, there is also an exclusive offer to add to that order and get an amazing craft tote to carry all your stash.  If you think you might be interested in getting a big chunk of your wish list at a hugely reduced price, drop me a message and I'd be pleased to talk to you more about it.

I thought I would share with you today some of the new products I have been playing with since receiving my first order of new stash, there are some fabulous sets available, and for those of you who like punches there are a couple of bundles that were high on my wish list.  Although I am a fan of my trusty Big Shot, there are times when you want a quick fix, for me crafting on the go in the Big Yellow Camper space is always at a premium and Mr Big Yellow Camper objects to tripping over the Big Shot! so punches are a must have crafting item.

First on my list was the amazing Butterfly Gala with it's matching punch.
I particularly like the fact that the 2 sizes of butterfly are joined to make punching them out easy and quick.  I added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the wings, although try as I might I can't get the sparkle to show on the photographs, but trust me they are gorgeous with that sparkle!

Apologies for the fact this photo is at the wrong angle, I haven't mastered rotation yet!

Next on my wish list was another bundle of stamps with a matching punch.

This set is called 'A Piece of Cake', the punch cuts out the cake stand and the cake and there are endless possibilities for birthday, anniversary, wedding cards and more with this set.  I've used the stamps to make a background for the card and then added a greeting from another set 'Amazing Life' which I think pairs up beautifully.

I'll be back later in the week with more ideas for using the new sets, but in the meantime if you would like to have anymore information on the products used or to order from me, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Happy crafting!
