A quick post with exciting news!!!!

Well it's turned out to be a very busy couple of days!!

I received a last minute request to step in and demonstrate for Stampendous at the NEC Trade Craft show this weekend, so I've been busy getting packed and have set up my demo area ready for the start of the show tomorrow for demos and make and takes and will be here at the show until Tuesday.  

Then, also even more last minute, I've been asked to appear on 3 shows on Create and Craft for Stampendous on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  I don't know the times yet or exactly what I will be doing but it will be with stamps and accessories from their new catalogue.  I'll be setting off straight from the NEC show to Peterborough so quite a week ahead!!

The new designs from Stampendous are wonderful and there are new additions to the range of embossing enamels, fragments, glass glitters etc.

I will be travelling on the next part of my adventure to Create and Craft with Linelle from Dreamweaver stencils who will be appearing in her first shows on Create and Craft.  Be sure to watch her too as she is the owner of the company and has travelled over from America to share her amazing talent with her Dreamweaver stencils, pastes and other products.

I'm sure Ian will appreciate a quiet week alone at home now after the manic shopping and packing over the last couple of days!!!

Fruity Friday!

Our fruits of the day are pears and oranges.

They have such subtle encrusted jewel techniques too that work so well with each design

New Stampendous Poppy stamp

Back again with some more inspiration to share with you from the Stampendous design team with their newly released designs.

As it has been snowing here for most of the day so far I thought it would be nice to feature something floral and colourful.

The Stampendous Poppy Jumbo Cling Rubber - CRS5048

As well as the beautiful poppy head, the set includes a very useful and elegant border swirl stamp.

 The projects below also give great inspiration for encrusted jewel techniques

Today's featured design... The Treemendous Stampendous Tree Poem Cling Stamp!

Today's treat to share from the Stampendous Design Team is the Tree Poem Cling Rubber - CRR164

The artwork from the Stampendous Design Team with this stamp image is truly stunning!

The Frantage additions really enhance this project, the wording added to this beautiful hanging is Stampendous Inspiration Exists Cling Rubber - CRH292 

The project below also features a stamp from the previous catalogue, Stampendous - Tin Panel - Cling Rubber Stamp - CRR146, on the blue background panel and the following new Frantage products for embellishment

Stampendous Blue - Mica Fragments - FRM10
Stampendous Green - Mica Fragments - FRM09

Metallic Mica fragments and embossing powders add wonderful texture and highlights to the magical project below.

Need some string too?  It adds a great finishing touch and Woodware have some great hemp strings in various colours, the natural is  Woodware Natural Hemp - 30 metres (50318), there are other colours available in our New Stuff section

This image will also prove a very versatile image too for nature projects, it looks great used in this scrapbook page!

So, yet another favourite stamp design to add to my wish list!!!!

Thank you Stampendous for allowing us to share your team's work here, it is great to see the stamp images come to life in these fabulous projects.

This time of year is so exciting with new products being released.  I will continue featuring them and will be back with another post later today featuring more of the new Woodware stamp designs.

Plant some seeds with Stampendous!

Despite the cold, wet and dismal weather recently it'll soon be time to work in our gardens and it was lovely to see some sunshine here on Friday when I noticed that the trees and shrubs are starting to show their buds.

Spring is on it's way... Yippee!!!!

So today I thought I'd share these wonderful and colourful plant pots made by the Stampendous design team.  While we are still stuck inside they would be a great project to complete until the better weather arrives.  They would make great Spring or Easter gifts, perhaps add some seed packets for the recipient ready for them to plant.

Placing them in a covered and lined stamped box with tissue paper really shows them off and I'm sure will make a treasured treat.

The new catalogue features lots of other lovely floral designs but today I am focusing on the 

Stampendous Seed Catalogue Cling Rubber - CRR161

It works so well with all the Frantage embellishments too

Such a pretty stamp to use as a matching gift card for your box of pots!

Have a great Sunday!!

I'll be back with more tomorrow
