Last chance!

I wasn't going to mention the Thoughtful Branches bundle again - but I am going to because Stampin' Up! have said they WILL NOT be bringing back this bundle in any future publications.
We had a glimmer of hope they might so they have now said although it was available until 31st August it will be until all current stocks have gone.

So, if you weren't quite sure or don't think you can live without it's versatility let me know!!

I also have an order going in on 1st September for any orders to include new Christmas goodies if you have seen a catalogue.

The dies and stamps together cost £46.75 but can be bought separately if required.

Pop of Pink Birthday

A final Thoughtful Branches offering for the week:

I've tried something different using the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper as a background.

The colours are Black and Melon Mambo to ring the changes a little.

The banner is from Birthday Banners and the sentiment from Number of Years - cut out with a framelit of course.

Lots of Labels framelits used for the mounting and finished with gems.

CASE-ing projects

This card was a 'must-try' when I saw it the first time and was made by Kylie Bertucci who is a very talented Stampin' Up! demonstrator and a Design Team Member on the Global Design Project.

It also uses the Thoughtful Branches bundle (again).

The link is below to Kylie's blog post on how it was made, I love it!

Last call as well for my next order that is going in on Friday.

More Thoughtful Branches

I got a super 3D gift swap last week for my little chocolate box and I've used the same colours that Alison used for the picture frame I received for this birthday card:

Using the Thoughtful Branches again this card uses the colours Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Sweet Sugarplum, Old Olive & Soft Sky.

I am still loving this set and it is still currently only available until the end of August.

I have an order going in this week if you can't live without it!

Flamingo Flowers

Still playing with different ways to use the Thoughtful Branches bundle and I came across a post at thecardladies which gives another fab use for it, thank you ladies.

I've used the same colours of Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral and Emerald Envy.

I've used the Petal Burst embossing folder for the background and all stamps are in the set.
Sentiment cut out with an Oval Layering Framelit and finished with some ruched ribbon.

I'll be popping another order in Thursday this week if anyone 'needs' to spend their £4.50 voucher from last month

Buy this set!

Apologies today I didn't have the picture I thought I had so I have a lovely Stampin' Up! official image to share instead - just in case you need a reminder!:

The stamps are £24, thinlits £28 or £46.75 for everything.

More Thoughtful Branches

Back to the 'while stocks last in August only' set Thoughtful Branches.

After doing a hydrangea card last time I've gone back to the tree version of the stamp.

I think it's so effective.  I've stamped in Old Olive on Pear Pizzazz and cut out but layered on a Soft Suede layer of the same die cut.
The trunk and branches were stamped and die cut and the birds and sentiment are also in the set.

The background is the Watercolour Wash stamp in Soft Sky.

The card is mounted on Old Olive and Rich Razzleberry and I've included a little bit of new ribbon you can buy from September.

New bundle!

Today is the first day you can buy the Thoughtful Branches limited-time bundle.

Here is a reminder of one of the lovely things you can make with it:

I've used Sweet Sugarplum and Old Olive for this card and the Petal Burst embossing folder.

The stamp set which contains 23 stamps is £24 in photopolymer.
The matching thinlit dies (9) are £28 or you can bundle together and buy both for £46.75

Currently it is only available from today until 31st August while stocks last.  If it is popular it may return in a later catalogue but there are no guarantees!

Apple Tree

I wasn't going to do another sneak peak yet - but I've changed my mind!!

Bearing in mind yesterdays hydrangea head - today it is a tree!

Isn't it super?  I'm a great fan already.
The apples are also in the set, as is the thank you and the dots in the background are also a stamp related to another tree in the set.

Anyway, you have a couple more weeks to save those pennies if you fancy it.

New Goodies!

A sneak peak today of a new bundle that will be available from 2nd August for that month only!
If it is popular enough it may appear in a future catalogue but for now it will be limited edition.

This is one card I've made with my set and it is sooo versatile you will love what else you can do with it that I will share another day:

The Thoughtful Branches stamp set has 23 stamps and a set of 9 matching thinlit dies.  Together the bundle will be £46.75 if you fancy it.

I think this hydrangea type flower is lovely.  I've stamped Watermelon Wonder on to Calypso Coral card.

Let me know what you think and I'll sneak in another sample or two before the launch date.
