Stampin' Up! New Peaceful Poppies Suite Jan 03rd 2020

Stampin 'Up! Peaceful Poppies Suite is a complete collection of stamps, dies, papers and elements which gives you everything to create beautiful cards and projects.

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas, however you celebrate I hope it has brought love and joy and togetherness with family and friends.  I had a lovely few days with the family sharing memories, good food, and the delight of the grandchildren.

With the 3rd Jan fast approaching I thought I would share the Peaceful Poppies suite with you.  If you are in the UK, France, Germany or the Netherlands and would like a copy of the new mini catalogue together with the Saleabration brochure, then just drop me an email at   allmark.j@sky.com   and I will pop one in the post.

I started this suite using  a few of the stamps and dies from this collection.  Use the link to my online shop to buy any of these products come Jan 03

Joy Of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge Blog #JOSTTT012 Jane Allmark Amethystarcrafting Design Team

December is always a busy month for us crafters but sometimes it is nice to have a little down time and take part in a challenge blog. The Joy of Sets Challenge Blog for December has a good mixture of Christmas squares so just chose a line and get creating.



You can use these squares to create your own Christmas cards and restart your mojo and get those creative juices flowing.

I chose REINDEER - SPARKLE and SILVER and really went outside the box by digging out a really old die of a reindeer, added silver sparkle glue to the cut out middle decoration of the deer and then mounted it on alternate layers of silver and gold.  His little red nose was a pearl coloured with alcohol markers.

As this card is so detailed I decided not to put a sentiment on the outside as I wanted this proud stag to be the focal point without any distraction from a sentiment.

So do have a go at this challenge blog. Just click on the link HERE

10 Great Inspirational Birthday Cards from fellow Crafters

One of the lovely things about birthdays is receiving cards and I was lucky enough to receive 10 cards from fellow crafters in a Birthday RAK group that I belong to. RAK is a random act of kindness and so we send birthday cards to fellow crafters around the world.

These were the lovely cards I received

I have made a quick video showing each card so you can see how each was made.

Thank you so much it has made my birthday just that little more special and being my big 60th has really put a smile on my face.
