Bundles mean 10% discount....Orchids and Daisies

This week I want to tell you about bundles. Its getting very close to the launch of the new catalogue, just four weeks away. We all love a bargain... so when the sets that are currently bundles carry over into the new catalogue they lose their 10% discount. If there is a bundle you have wondered about then now is the time to purchase it.
There are 24 bundles that carry over into the new catalogue and until May 31st they have 10% discount. I have 10 of them. I have just ordered the Coffee Cafe so there will be makes coming with that soon.

Today I am going to start with the climbing orchid bundle.
This is a huge set of 28stamps and 12 dies. I need to have another play with this one it was one of the first I bought last year.
Three makes with this set, the first was an all day class where we made a home decor frame, the second card we repeated in a series of colours and the third is a diorama.

The second bundle for this today is Daisy Delight I love this set. I am actually using it again in my card and a cuppa on Tuesday. Here is a reminder of some of the makes from the previous year.

There are of course lots of new bundles in the new catalogue but you will have to wait for those. 

Get one of these whilst its still a bargain.

Lemon Zest 4

Another post using the Lemon Zest stamp set and punch. Did you know that at the moment you get a 10% discount if you buy these two items as a bundle. On the 1 st of June this will no longer be the case although the stamp and the punch will still be available.
These are the final 2 cards in this little set and later today I will be adding the 4 cards and the bag as a bundle in my Etsy shop.
For the first card I have used the stamp set as limes rather than lemons. The lemon lime twist works really well with the garden green. Adding that line of dark green around the punched out limes pieces gives the rind, so zesty!

 A little bit of stamping on the inside.

The final card is just fun. Now that I am off and running with this set I am sure I will have more makes to come.

In the inside it says....'throw them right back.'

The ribbon is white organza ribbon coloured with a marker pen as I don't have any yellow ribbon!

The whole group

Funny story

One to make you chuckle....
When I arrived at the studio one morning last week there were two ducks sat in the puddle in the middle of the cobbles outside the cafe.... they refused to move, I had to negotiate around them so that I could park the car to unload. Not an easy task as they were right in the middle.

Having gone past them in one direction they were still there after I had unloaded the car and was taking it back to the car park. They stood in the puddle, waddled around sat down in the puddle and repeated.

Some time later the shout went up to come and look.......

And really it wasn't April 1st. Why lay an egg in a puddle when the canal bank is only 200yds away?

This card was inspired by Catherine Harwood . Its not one for posting unless you make a box for it but it is very stylish. With the rise of so many gin festivals locally I thought this was a good one. The bit of glitter around the rim just adds that bit of extra interest. I have coloured the vellum on the back with a daffodil delight marker pen.  A long cold drink is just what you need with the heat wave we have been having.

What a week....

I share a studio with a fellow crafter, however she makes using cut vinyl and sells on Etsy. In March she had a sudden rush of orders, so much so that I have learnt to 'weed' place, trim, and all sorts of other things with vinyl. We have worked until 10pm for 3 nights this week. Work for yourself they say...... its not as easy as they make out.

The inside of the boxes has 'Will you be my bridesmaid' or 'thank you for being my bridesmaid'. They look stunning. Alongside the boxes we decorated wine glasses and make up bags. The boxes come in three sizes, there are bags as well.

She also has a range for the men.

It has meant I haven't done any crafting this week. But I know there are lots of very happy customers out there.

Lemon Zest with a hint of lime

Isn't this pretty.
I found the idea on pinterest made by Jenny This stamp set and matching punch has been on my wish list for over a year. As it has carried over into the new catalogue I just had to have it and I am so glad I did buy it. Its refreshing
I always enjoy making the Z fold cards and the Z can go, top, bottom, middle, anyplace you want it to. Lots of stamping and having the punch rather than fussy cutting makes this much easier. The little white flowers are die cut with the colourful season dies. Theres a little daubing on the sentiments but not too much. Some of the ladies who come to class are not keen on the daubing, others love it!

I not only used the flowers but the branch from  the colourful season dies. It is a lovely branch. I have stamped the leaves from the Lemon Zest set then punched them out

I have lots more makes with this set watch out they are coming this way soon.

Memories and more with Petal palette

I said I would be making a few more of those bags I showed you last Thursday. This one finishes off my set of projects for the class next Saturday. This is my monthly all day project class  which always includes some Stampin Up products in the goody bag.
For these projects I have used the 12 x 12 card in powder pink, a little black card and the designer paper from the petal palette suit. There isn't any stamping except for the label on the suitcase! The cards use different parts of the memories and more packet.

Both parts of the springer card use the pieces from the memories and more pack cut to fit. These are layered onto black card

Both parts of the Z fold card use the memories and more cards. They are so pretty, delicate in the pink and black, they make lovely cards, and at only £9 a pack they are a bargain.

The gift bag is a very special make, I will reveal more about that on Tuesday.
