Quick Easter Treats with "Hey Chick" and some retiring products

This morning I whipped up a few small gifts for the staff in the office. (before my husband went to work, super quick) I love using up bits and pieces that I have been saving  (no it's not hoarding if you use them, no matter how long it takes you to get round to it!) And though the gift is very small the wrapping says "You Matter"!

Lots of lucky people have the "Hey Chick" set in their stash now, and this is a great way to use it for Easter. I ran out of time for baking, so each bag contains a selection of Easter eggs, but it's not really about the chocolate, it's about giving.


These use up some retiring ribbon and twine and DSP in the Cucumber Crush range, As well as some old ribbon and retired paper.  It's amazing what you can do with the Triple Banner Punch, some string and a stapler

Cucumber Crush

Melon Mambo


These days I love to have a stash of little paper bags on hand. These are not Stampin' Up! but they were the only design I had on hand that had enough numbers for what I needed. I can tell you the bags for 2017 in the new catalogue are pretty awesome, but any bag can be dressed up.

Sadly the Kraft Tag a Bag pack have already sold out from the Retirement List. 
So don't leave it too long if there was something you wanted, once they are gone, they are gone for good!

I hope you have a wonderful Easter- I'm so looking forward to being with family for a precious few days.

Happy Stamping,

You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
