Flying Home Stamp Set and a Ton of News!

Hello there,
I have soooo much to share today! The last week has been just crayzee here so although I have been on Insta and Facebook I have just not had time to blog an actual card on here! And I do have a card today so please do stick with me, I just have a few links and dates to share with you first :-D
So, let's start with what a fab-u-lous time On Stage was last weekend! It was great to see the new catalogue that's coming of course, but it was really great to spend some stamping time with some of my Stampin' Up! family.
OK, so I mentioned the new catty but that of course means retiring products, including the rather gorgeous stamp set I'm featuring here today, Flying Home, :-(
To see all the RETIRING PRODUCTS CLICK HERE

Here's a PDF of Retiring Spring/Summer Products

And a PDF of Annual Catalogue Products

Please, please order the things you 'must have' ASAP so you aren't disappointed :-)

There was also news of a colour refresh at On Stage so some colours are being removed (for-ever!) to make way for lots of lovely new ones...

And they are also re-configuring the ink pads. Due to the dies coming to the end of their life SU! took the opportunity to improve on the current pads. Don't worry, you won't have to change all your ink pads (unless you want to, of course ;-)) as they will still work and the new ones are much the same size so they should fit in your current storage options fine too. I'll be able to share more soon but for now here is the last guaranteed dates for ordering, then it's while stocks last. 

OK, so let's see a card shall we? I am super sad this stamp set (Flying Home) didn't make the new Annual catty...

 I used blends to colour the image and teamed it with the Wood Textures DSP

 Stitched edge dies. I can't seem to get enough of them ;-)

 Finish with some blingy glimmer paper and a few adhesive sequins and boom! Done!

OK, that's all for today.
I hope you managed to stick with me through this post? If you have any questions regarding the changes please do drop me a line at sarah-janerae@sky.com and I'll be happy to help as much as I'm allowed :-)
Thanks so much for looking today,

Flying Home for Easter

Hi there,
Today I have a card using the Flying Home stamps made for Easter :-) I adore this set and if you need an easy Easter make then this is fab, see....

 I stamped on regular whisper white card as I coloured this image with Blends but you could also use ink pads and an aqua painter too. Just stamp on Shimmer card, thick white card or probably the best, watercolour paper, instead.

 Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, I haven't used this set in a while!
TIP: To trim it out easily, use the Classic Label Punch and trim the ends square.

 The pretty, yellow paper is the Bubbles and Fizz Sale-a-Bration DSP. I think what is considered the reverse is what I've used the most. Gotta love double sided DSP!

OK, that's all from me for today, what are you making today?
Back tomorrow with more crafty goodness!

Spring/Easter Blog Hop with the Jems

Hello and welcome to another Jems blog hop!
First of all, apologies for being so quiet! We had our crazy birthday week here and deadlines galore but, I have been taking pictures and editing photos so I will be back sharing some cards, starting today :-)
Today, for this hop, we are celebrating Spring/Easter! Ha ha ha! As we are in the grip of about the snowiest week in about 30 years, perhaps we should have done a little time travelling to this week before choosing the theme, lol!

Anyway, let's get on and share something springy. I designed this card for my Blends first class, this stamp set is just lovely for any kind of colouring and especially good if you are new to colouring as the elements are small but it's equally great if you are like me and just love to colour!

 I can't help but love these Sale-a-Bration notecards. About SaB, there is just a few weeks left to earn free goodies with your order. More items have been added to the selection too (take a peek at the adorable Springtime Foils DSP and the Blossoming Basket Bundle)! You can find the links HERE.

 I used some blushing bride glimmer paper from my stash before realising it's retired but Dazzling Diamonds or the new Myths and Magic (Iridescent , Turquoise and Green) paper would work well here too :-)

 I keep going back to this stamp set so I hope you are enjoying it too ;-)

So, that's all from me for today, you are off to the ever talented Amanda next who, I'm sure is about to dazzle you!

Thanks for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with another make :-)

A Bright, Fun Colour Challenge with Inspire. Create. Challenges

Hello there and welcome to another card for Inspire. Create. Challenges!
This fortnight the challenge is a colour one and we are using Melon Mambo Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight.
To visit the Inspire. Create. Challenge blog click HERE where the other DT members will surely have a whole heap of inspiration for you :-)

As I usually use pastel colours these bright colours made a really nice change, pushing me out of my comfort zone. I used them with these adorable Flying Home birdhouse stamps...

I used blender pens and my ink pads to colour this image in and I also added a couple of neutrals with Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede.

And a few stamped leaves, from Heart Happiness set, gives the base card a bit of interest.

Finished with a tiny Daffodil Delight bow. This actual ribbon is retired but you can still purchase the double stitched Daffodil ribbon which has a lovely criss-cross pattern.

We do hope you join us for this challenge, I've loved playing with these colours and really hope you have a go too :-)
