New Spring Catalogue and Classes

-






 Oh my gosh I did not realise how long it has been since I last posted. I can blame it on getting my crafting workshops up and running at Christmas time and this little fellow - who is currently only a baby and takes a lot of my time. However he is very good at having a nap while I craft and helping me open the parcel of new Stampin' Up products!!

I am NOT organised. I have given up my job have all day at my disposal and I am WORSE!
The sad thing is I did make a lot of christmas projects and I didn't post them.
It is a chore posting because I am not technical and my internet is very slow as no high speed broadband here in the countryside. I was going a storm on Instagram for a while but that has fallen by the wayside also. BAD me!!
 I have arranged some new classes for Springtime and if you would like to see the dates and what is on offer please nip over to my classes pages. I would love to hear from anyone who would like to do a class. Later on I am hoping to organise some all day scrapbooking workshops on saturdays with lunch included but I need a few more numbers to go ahead. I also have a new studio at home for small numbers to join me in specialist classes which I will begin advertising soon.

 held a catalogue launch on the 4th January for the new January to June mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration which is now in full swing until the end of March and such fabulous free products on a qualifying spend. I have added some photographs of some of the projects I made for that in this post.

I am sending out catalogues at the end of this week to all of my postal customers who placed an order in 2019, so if you would like to be added to this list please email me and I will keep you up to date.

I am trying to find a focus for 2020.  2019 I was so focused on moving house which was successful and now I want to determine some goals for  2020. I want to continue with my Stampin Up and crafting blog but again I feel I should specialise or find a groove with it and tinkering with sticking predominantly to photo memories and adding other types of projects.


I just had my first class back on Tuesday evening and will be posting the cards we made in a later post.

Check out my SHOP for products and my classes and kits pages as these have been updated. What do you think of the fabulous bee papers - FREE with Sale-a-bration and the bee stamp set and dies are just the right value to qualify!

Drop me a comment and let me know how your crafting mojo is going!

Post it note Holder using Golden Honey Papers - updated imperial measurements for box included.

The Golden Honey Papers in their pristine black white and gold said 'office stationery ' to me and so I used them together with the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies to make some coasters, a gift box holding 6 notecards and envelopes, a post it note holder and a cute giant paperclip topper. I put the photo onto a Facebook page that is for Stampin' Up demonstrators today and was totally overwhelmed by the response and requests for instructions on how to make the post it note holder - so I have quickly put this post together and it is mostly a photo show of the instructions because that was the fastest way I could do it! To make this desktop holder you will need some basic black cardstock. The holder has been made to fit post it notes that measure 3 x 3 inches. I originally made it around the post it notes in and cut in centimetres - So I have taken the original box apart and measured it all and have put some photographs of the measurements and how to put it to

Hello, I love that I can make a rhythm out of joppy and hoppy - its always a struggle thinking of a blog title! Welcome to anyone who has not visited my blog before, I have a fairly new blog, have not participated in the blog hop before and so its especially great to see you! I had a lovely open house last Saturday and invited some of my crafting friends to come and look at what the new Spring/Summer catalogue has to offer and I made some cards to display and the cards I have put up for the blog hop today I made with a stamp set featured on page 44. called Best Catch and co-ordinating Catch of the day thinlits dies. I haven't seen very much on the Internet or on Pinterest anywhere made with this set so I am especially pleased to show you this great set. There is one very special man in my life to whom I recently became engaged and he loves fishing so I thought this set would come in handy. Also he reliably informs me that the fish looked rather like salmon and tha

Playing with Different Coloured Circles

  I thought I would share with you another set of cards and technique that Learned recently on the Creative Card Retreat I attended. I am catching up with some of the presentations still and this tutorial came from one of the Creative team Jackie Bolhuis. These are the cards I made and the envelopes to match and you may just be able to see the inside decoration for the end card in the photograph! The cards look really striking in the new bright in-colours and you simply cut four circles in different graduating sizes using a circle punch - I used my layering circles dies. The you cut them in half on your trimmer. Then arrange. So this is how I layered up my half circles and then the photograph belo shows how I arranged them onto the card. Then simply add a sentiment to the card. The bright colours look great with black but what about trying pastels or a gradient of the same colour, or even glitter card - what about stitched circle dies? Lots and lots of variations and combinations with
