Sneaky Peeks - HOCHANDA Shows

Hello Crafters

I'm back on your HOCHANDA screens tomorrow so thought I'd share a few sneaky peeks with you :-)

This is the rest of my Snowflakes collection, which includes the new Sentiment Corners, new Mini Snowflakes Sentiments, new Mini Snowflakes Background and the new Snowflakes Large Circle frame and new Snowflakes Large Square frame stamps too!

And

My brand new Snowflakes 8x8 Paper Pad and co-ordinating 8x8 Insert Pad!

If you've followed me for a while, you'll know that I absolutely love snowflakes as a Christmas theme and this collection of stamps and papers just makes it soooo easy for us to create gorgeous, eegant cards to send this year!

I'll say a big thank you to Barb and Suzy who have made some amazing samples for me for the shows too, Linda is busy getting ready for her daughter's wedding!

So, my show times are:

Monday 25th July 8pm Launch Show

Tuesday 26th July 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm

I've got lot's of demo's prepped for you too and some amazing products, hand picked (well, not actually from the warehouse ha ha) to go with all my own products.

And I have a couple of new products I've added to my Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Collection too!

Anyhoo, here's a couple of sneaky sample peeks for you :-)

Here's a link to my www, Snowflakes Collection, where you will find all my new Snowflakes Products :-)

My first Christmas Card.. (and a sneaky peek!)

Good Morning Everyone

Well, the sunshine seems to have gone on holiday!

Cloudy and breezy here today, so, I've mashed a cuppa, sat at my desk and thought I'd show you my first Christmas Card of 2015!

This is also a bit of a cheeky sneaky peek, as I've actually used one of my brand new Christmas Holly Sentiment Stamps (coming very, very soon!!)

Anyhoo,
In case you want to recreate this card (when you have the stamps of course) I made it in exactly the same way as the Decadent Wine card on my post from Monday (6th July),
all that I did differently was,
Heat embossed the Sentiment and Holly in the corners with Gold Detail Embossing Powder.
Used my Decadent Bamboo Cosmic Shimmer products (lovely on Cream or White card!)
Used Holly dies instead of flowers

And the rest you can see :-)

I just wanted to show you this card really, I absolutely love it myself,.. in fact, I think this style could be my style for this year (well, for the 6 that actually get posted!)

Here it is.., I hope you like it :-)

Happy Crafting!

Time for a cuppa anyone?

Good Afternoon Everyone,..

Now I'm on a Blog Roll (so to speak), I thought I'd share one last sneaky peek of one of my card samples for my shows on Create & Craft tomorrow :-)

It's another biggy! 21cm x 15.5cm :-)

If you know me, you will know that this is the perfect card for me,.. there are tea bags, tea cups and more on here!

This is one of my brand new stamp sets, aptly named 'Time For A Cuppa' and it's a montage set,.. I adore the montage sets because there is so much you can do with them!
Of course, I 'had' to create a background stamp to go with this set too, so I could get my fave tea brand on it :-) lol

I think there is something that just about every tea or coffee lover will like about these stamps!

Anyhoo, here it was I used:-

White cardstock (lots of!)
Creative Expressions A4 Sea Garden Embossing Folder
Sue Wilson Californian Collection Dies (Hollywood and Frames Set A)
Gathered Twigs Distress Ink Pad
Sentimentally Yours Time For A Cuppa Montage Stamps
Sentimentally Yours Tea & Coffee Background Stamp
Sentimentally Yours Baroque Sentiments 2 Stamps
Cosmic Shimmer White Pearl PVA Glue
Cosmic Shimmer Choco Brown Pearl PVA Glue
Square Dazzler
Brown Seam Binding Ribbon
Couple of Pearl Hatpins

Remember, my show times are 8am and 3pm tomorrow.

You can pre order all of my new stamps sets and most of the goodies I have chosen to go with them on my show directly from my website here

Hope you like it, I love this card :-)

Happy Crafting!

Create & Craft Shows...

Good Afternoon Everyone...

Just a quick post to remind you that I am back on Create & Craft tomorrow (Wednesday 28th) at 10am and 1pm with some brand new Sentimentally Yours Stamps!!

I'm so excited to be showing you these too, something a little different in one of the sets ;-)

Here's a few sneaky peeks of bits of sample cards I have made using the new stamps..

I will be making 2 cards per show on air so get the emails in for a chance to win one :-)

See you on your telly tomorrow!

Black & Cream 8x8 Card :-)

Good Evening Everyone!

I've just mashed a cuppa (Earl Grey of course) and thought I'd write this post whilst whilst I have my cuppa... perfick!

I love Black & Cream together, it's a little less harsh than Black & White and feels a bit 'warmer', if you know what I mean...

To make this 8x8 card, I used:

1 A3 and 2 A4 sheets of cream linen card
2 A4 Sheets of black card
My own Sentimentally Yours Quotes of Inspiration A5 Stamps
Black Soot distress ink pad
Spellbinders Die D-Lites Blooms 4
Spellbinders Les Papillions 2
Spellbinders Grand Decorative Ovals
Creative Expressions A4 Tapestry Embossing Folder
Cosmic Shimmer acrylic glue
Cream Pearls
Black self adhesive pearls
Black silky crush ribbon
Glamour dust Irridescent Glitter

It's amazing, the variations you can get from the blooms 4 dies, just by curling with your tweezers and molding on you sponge mat! All the flowers on this card are from the same 3 dies!

Anyhoo, hope you like it! (You might just see me showing you this card on air soon) :-)

Happy Crafting!

Sentimentally Yours Stamps - Collection 2 Launch...

Good Afternoon Everyone

I know... I've neglected my blogging lol, but there is a good excuse ;-)

My range of clear stamps, Sentimentally Yours, have been keeping me busy!

Collection 1 was launched in September, as most of you know, and collection 2 is launching this Sunday!!

I have had such amazing feedback from everyone who has bought them and for that, thankyou!

It means I'm doing my job properly lol

Collection 2 will be giving you something a bit different too, I have added backgrounds and frames to the range :)

For those of you who can get to my shop, Honeypot Crafts, the details of my launch, where you can come and see (and buy) the new collection, are below..

Sunday 10th November, 11am til 2pm

For those who can't get to my shop, you will be able to buy them from my website here, from next week.

You can also buy them in selected shops around the country, please ask your local craft store if they are stocking them, and if they aren't, tell them to call me and get them in! lol

Hope to see some of you on Sunday and, as a little teaser, here is a card I made using one of my new Frame Stamps from Collection 2 :)

Happy Crafting!

Naughty sneaky peek....

Good Evening All

I am busrting with excitement about my latest project(s), but I can't tell you everything just yet...

All I can tell you is that I've thought and worked hard on it to get everything just right, for me (and I'm not easy to please) and, hopefully, for you all too!

Here's a little, teeny, tiny piece of one of the things I am working on...

I can't show you any more, yet!

You will (as I will too!) have to wait just a few more weeks :o)

Anyhoo, here you go :o)

Told you it was a teeny bit lol

Happy Crafting!
