Eastern Palace Suite Early Release

Happy May lovely crafty friends.

And to celebrate the start of a new month Stampin' Up! have given us a sneak peek of one of the new catalogue suites a whole month early! These fab bundles are only available for this month and come with lovely free gift extras too .;0)

I wasn't taken with the suite at first even though I absolutely ADORED the new In Colours featured in the suite- Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide. However, I found this suite of products an absolute delight to stamp with. Once I got going cutting and creating medallions and stamped greetings I was in my element. I haven't used my Big Shot in quite a while so I merrily sat trying all the different combinations of medallion.

Here is what I came up with.

I created the little holder for the card set using the Eastern Palace Speciality Designer Series Paper and added a medallion cut from Tranquil Tide and Dapper Denim cardstock. I finish I added one of the gorgeous Vinyl Stickers and a Gold Tassel (only available in the Premier Bundle).

I had fun using the Eastern Beauty Stamp Set with the coordinating Designer Series Paper to create the different card designs and patterns. I just love the simplicity of stamping and using the stamps for colouring. I cannot recommend this stamp set any more highly as I just love playing with the patterns and adding stamped details.

Details on the two bundles of products can be found below or click on the image to be connected through to my Online Store. The Hostess Club code for the month is MUYACK6W. If you use this code to order online you will receive a lovely handmade gift from me in the post next month ;)

 Please let me know if you have any questions about Stampin' Up! and their products. I would be happy to help. All items can be purchased online via my shop or get in touch directly and I can order them for you to be delivered direct to your door. I'd also love the opportunity to demonstrate for you and your friends at a crafty party. As the hostess you earn exclusive free products and all guests get to create a fun crafty project to take home too. No crafting experience necessary! Get in touch if you'd like any further information.

New Project Life and Stampin' Up! Products are Here- Order Online today!

Good morning and a very happy new crafty week to you all.

I hope you've enjoyed all my posts over the last week. I've been away and scheduled lots of lovely craftiness for you to enjoy in my absence. We took the girls off for our first European adventure in the campervan. We stayed at a fantastic campsite in France for the week. The weather was perfect and it was lovely to see Sylvie wriggling around in her nappy while Summer perfected swimming with armbands. 

I've arrived home to a big parcel of sneak peek products which I cannot wait to get started with. I love this time of year with all the fantastic possibilities and new cards to make with new products. 

And even more exciting, while I was away the customer sneak peek of Project Life products went live. For a few weeks you can order an exclusive range of products from the Stampin' Up! and Project Life range before the main catalogue full offering goes live on July 1st. I was lucky enough to win a bundle of Project Life products at the Telford event last month. The quality is lovely and it is so great to have Project Life products in the colours we love so much from Stampin' Up!

I have been a Project Lifer for a couple of years now and have spent a lot in customs costs importing products from the US. I am super excited to be able to introduce you to this range with all the familiarity and ease of ordering through Stampin' Up! 

Super simple and striking scrapbooking

Project Life is an easy scrapbooking solution for creating quicker, simpler and easier scrapbooks for all those photos you have printed and ready to go but not the time or the matching papers and embellishments to actually stick to a page. Project Life is about taking the stress out of scrapbooking with its divided page protectors, ready made cards to slot in to the perfectly sized pockets and matching stickers and embellishments. You can keep your pages super simple by just adding journalling or if you'd like to add a bit more detail there is a lovely range of matching photopolymer stamps as well. It is as easy as that!

• Project Life comes in easily transportable storage that keeps everything you need together
• There's no cutting or glue involved so it's easy to create Project Life pages on the move - even while you're on holiday
• Everything comes in the gorgeous Stampin' Up colours and each collection coordinates beautifully

How do you get started with Project Life? 

All you need besides your photos is a pack of photo pocket pages, some Project Life cards and journalling pens. 

If you want to get add detail, you can extras using the beautifully coordinated embellishments in the Accessory Pack; you can round corners with the new corner rounder; there are photopolymer stamp sets to add fabulous details if you choose and coordinating Framelits if you want to add shaped labels.

Project Life is Here! #PLxSU

So the day we've all been waiting for has come. The Customer Sneak Peak of Project Life has arrived.

As I've mentioned previously Stampin' Up! have partnered with Becky Higgins the creator of Project Life to bring an exclusive range of Stampin' Up! scrapbooking goodies. For those who haven't come across Project Life, it is a simple day to day solution for scrapbooking all those everyday and beloved photographs. It is based around divided page protectors and coordinating sets of insert cards, embellishments, stickers and stamp sets (oh and Framelits, and Washi Tape, and journallers.....).

I was super lucky to have won a Project Life bundle of products at the Telford Regional last month so I had an even sneakier peek. And let me assure you that these products are the quality we expect from Project Life and Stampin' Up! in all the beautiful Stampin' Up! colours.
