Expressions In Ink DSP Back In Stock

Just a quick heads up (in between Olympics events - wink) to let you know that I just spotted the Expressions In Ink DSP back in store.  It has been out of stock and unorderable for a few weeks.  Looks like a shipment has arrived.  It would not surprise me if this one sells out again as it is so pretty. 

You can find it here if you were hoping to add it to your paper stash:  Expressions In Ink DSP 

Back in stock

Happy creating and I hope you are having a great weekend.

Clean and Simple Card: Bloom Where You're Planted

Bloom Where You're Planted

This has been my go to card design lately when I'm getting started with a pack of Designer Series Paper.  Just punch out some rectangles with my favourite punch, add either some embossing or a few lines of scoring with my trimmer and add a greeting.  This Bloom Where You're Planted DSP is great for also fussy cutting a few of the pots to add with some dimensionals.  Some Genial Gems were one last finishing touch.  

Lots of our patterned papers are on sale  - finishes end of July.  Check for your favourites here:  Patterned Paper Sale

Having a very very lazy day here at our place.  I've got a comfy spot all set up on the couch with a cosy throw rug and having a big day of Olympics watching (and biscuit eating!)  I think I should grab out my paper snips and some patterned papers - perfect spot for some fussy cutting.  

Anyone else doing some creating in front of the Olympics?  

Cheers and happy stamping, Sue

Christmas In July: Lockdown Distraction

Hey there.  Hope you are all keeping well.  It is a bumpy old year isn't it.  We've been a little bit grumpy and flat this week at various times so to pep up the mood a bit and distract us all from the news John suggested we have a Christmas In July today.  

Table christmas

Grabbed one arm load of Christmas stuff from the garage to decorate the table (and managed to find some old bon bons.  Win.)  Pork has gone into the oven and the kids have been busy all afternoon making Christmas biscuits.  Lots of fun and a great way to shake off the blues.  

Christmas In July

I had my second AZ jab yesterday and was happy to wake up this morning feeling fine - had a few days of the aches after my first dose so timed this one for a Friday in case I needed a quiet weekend, but seems to be no second dose side effects for me which was nice.  With numbers being a bit unpredictable I decided to bring forward my second one and had it at 8 1/2 weeks.  

Aren't those roses on our table pretty.  I got them for Hannah to celebrate her getting a job.  Yay.  She's going to be working for a tutoring organisation. 

I think it might be time to put the kettle on and have a cup of tea and one (or 10!) of these biscuits.  Yummy.  I hope you are finding ways to keep the spirits up.  Stay safe and take care.

Stampin' Up Ink Pad Tips For Beginners

Dusted off the video equipment and got back into the saddle!  Just a quick one this time to give a few little tips about our Stampin' Up ink pads - using the labelling stickers.  Also a quick little look at our new 2021-23 in colours, and ink refill storage ideas.  It is always a good idea I think to get the ink refill at the same time as you get your ink pad, then you can freshen it up with a few drops of reinker anytime.  

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.  Very chilly here so the heater is blasting and we're having a cosy day at home.  Looking forward to a family catch up tomorrow to celebrate two upcoming family birthdays.

Sending a little shout out to my NSW customers, team and demo friends.

Stay well and we're thinking of you. Take care, Sue
