Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Paper coloured with Blends.

Hi there,
Today's card uses the new Delightfully Detailed laser-cut paper again. This time I have used my Blends to colour the circle paper piece. I love this paper as it is but how fab is it to add colour and totally change the whole look of this paper! See more examples of this paper HERE. This is one of the card shaped pieces from the pack which I've backed with the new colour Balmy Blue after colouring...

 Some of the Blends are now back in stock and I'm led to believe that more of the new colours are coming soon. Yay!

 And topped with a sentiment from Floral Phrases, heat embossed in white to finish.

Well, that's all for today, I'll be back soon with more crafty goodness :-D
Thanks so much for looking and I hope you enjoyed today's make?

Team Gifts at On Stage

Hello!
I have a picture heavy post today as I wanted to share the little "essentials" kit bag I made for my team when we went to On Stage a few weeks ago. Yes, I know I am really behind with blogging, I blame being poorly! Anyway, I picked up a few bits I thought might be handy when we were at On Stage and "stampin' up'd" them a bit ;-)
Now, I was pushed for time and still being a bit poorly meant they aren't too fancy this time, just prettied up a bit, iykwim?! But, they all seemed to like them so, happy days :-)
OK, let's start! I got some lovely pencils and shiny gel pens and made a super quick and easy paper pocket to keep them together, 'cause you know you'll definitely need a pen/pencil at On Stage, right?!

 And you need to stay hydrated with all that excitement!

Lip balm, I added a simple "ho, ho, ho" to this from the Labels to Love stamp set :-)

 I also wrapped a mini pack of tissues, wet wipes, mints and a handbag sized yummy, coconut hand cream in some Christmas Around The World DSP.

 And here it is, all together.

 So, I didn't want to carry it all separately and I found these wine bags in Tesco, they were a perfect size to pop it all in and make it easy to carry!

Of course, I made a double sided tag to decorate the outside, I adore these mini wreaths and I do have a (non-festive) card to share with you using them too. Later this week, maybe?
And the sentiment on the reverse is from the Watercolour Christmas stamp set, one of my favourites this year and now in the sale for just £13.60. I do love the font used in this set and would love it in a birthday version (hint, hint SU!, as if they read my blog, lol) although when I read the "Oh Joy" sentiment, in my head I can see a rolling eye emoji, ha! :-)

Well, I did say there were a lot of pictures, I hope you are still awake! Lol!
Right, I'll be back soon with more crafty goodness, 'till then, enjoy your Sunday and thanks for looking :-)

The Stamparatus is HERE!

Hi there!
I have some super exciting news, fresh from On Stage! this weekend :-)
Stampin' Up! are launching a new tool called the "Stamparatus" 
An innovative stamp positioning tool to make your stamping much easier and even more successful!

Here's lots of info from SU!....

It’s big news when something breaks the mold and changes everything. The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you ever crafted without it! Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!

• Make multiples with ease
• Consistently stamp crisp, clean images
• If you want a darker impression, apply more ink and restamp—no need to start over
• Make fewer mistakes, saving time and money
• Easily create 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step stamped images using reversible plates
• Develop new and specialised stamping techniques with adjustable stamping plates and precision placement

 Although I think the name 'stamp-a-saurus' is much catchier... that must be why I kept saying it, allllll day, lol!
All joking aside it really is fantastic, with two reversible panels giving you four surfaces - for multiple stamping without removing stamps, making it so easy to stamp multiples! 
Please allow Carrie to share some more of the special features with you now...

It's going to be a boon and is especially great for those stampers with dexterity issues as there are no blocks to hold on to. A few other things to note are:

• Compatible with Stampin’ Up!’s red rubber and photopolymer stamp
• Foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps
• Rulers and gridlines for quick measuring
• 2 open sides so you can stamp on larger paper
• 2 reversible plates: a total of 4 surfaces to work with
• 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
• Magnet storage areas
• Moveable plates for stacked stamping
• Retail Price–59,00 €/£44.00

So, please do head over to my SHOP from the 16th November (but only 'till the 30th) to reserve yours for delivery on or around the 1st February 2018. This is to avoid back orders and delays which are frustrating for everyone :-) 

I recommend getting in on this first slot so you get your Stamparatus as early as possible. 

PLEASE NOTE: You will not pay until your Stamparatus is shipped, this is just a reservation.

Each pre-order will be "while stocks last" so please do order as early as you can. 

If you miss out this time around there will be more opportunities to order for delivery next year...

RESERVATION WINDOWS	AVAILABLE TO SHIP
16–30 November 2017	Approx. 1 February 2018
5–30 December 2017	Approx. 19 March 2018
15–30 January 2018	Approx. 15 April 2018

So, why order from me? I will be offering a FREE class in person for those who are local and a video tutorial and mini kit to those who can't come in person to everyone who orders this brilliant tool from me during the pre-order and the video will also be available to everyone who orders this tool from me forever*!
*well, 'till I am am too old to press "send" anyway ;-)
So, I hope you are excited as I am for this fab new product? If you have any questions, please do drop me a line @ sarah-janerae@sky.com
Thanks for looking today, I'll be back tomorrow with a card :-)

Shimmery Birthday Blooms

Hi there,
It's so easy to get swept up in the excitement of all the lovely new products available but I do like to remind myself every so often of the many lovely stamps that I already have! So, with that in mind today's cards use the Birthday Blooms stamps. I do love to colour and this set is so lovely so when I got a new set of Gansai shimmer paint recently I was keen to have a play. Unfortunately it is quite hard to photograph the lovely colour and get the shimmer to show as well, but I gave it a go ;-)

I stamped the flower image and heat embossed it in white on watercolour paper so it was nice and easy to colour. Here's the pink version...

 And a Wisteria Wonder base to compliment this purple flower...

I had a lot of fun colouring these flowers to send as thank you cards :-)

Why not break out one of your "old" sets and have a play today ;-)

Thanks for looking,
