I just love the Blooms and Bliss Suite.  This card using Blooms and Wishes stamp set was inspired by the one in the catalogue on page 139.  It is one of my favourites and such fun to put together. 

Tips and Techniques:  I stamped off first once or twice for the base layer flowers to give a nice soft colour.  The upper layers are hand cut.  I love the font on the greetings in this set.  Our new Very Vanilla Lace Trim looks beautiful layered over the Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon.

Need A Holiday Catalogue?

Let me know if you'd like a copy of our brand new Holiday Catalogue - full of snazzy products for your Christmas creating.   Batch one were in the post Thursday and I've got a couple of packs of envelopes and a heap of catalogues all set for mailing batch 2 this weekend.  Or pick up your copy at class in the next fortnight. 

August Classes

Evening classes are full this month but I've got space this Friday 19th August at 10am if you'd like to make 3 cards using some of our gorgeous annual catalogue products. 

Thoughtful Branches and Bonus Day Coupons

If you are being wowed by all the stunning Thoughtful Branches bundle products floating around on blogs, instagram and pinterest (click here for the Thoughtful Branches pinterest board)   then remember it is available just during August.  Head on over to my online store if you'd like to grab yours. 

My dining table is looking very festive - I had some of my team over in the last couple of days to help me crack open my big box of Christmas products and get them all inked up.  I can't wait to show you!  So far I've made lots of bits so today's job (after basketball cheering - kids' sport morning) is to assemble some of the bits into actual cards while I watch the Olympics. 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Cheers, Sue
