The new catalogue is a week old

The new catalogue is now a week old & i'm sure that you've been through from front to back a number of times already.
One of the many bonuses of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator is being able to receive the catalogue at the beginning of September & then purchase sneek peak items in advance of the October 1st release date. There are of course many other advantages, if you would like to know what the benefits are then please drop me a line at Lovellsinnorfolk@hotmail.co.uk
Well I thought you may be interested in my top 10 favourite Products from the 2011 / 2012 idea book & Catalogue are in no particular order.

1.First Edition speciality papers

121878 First Edition Speciality papers £11.50
These papers are so versatile as they can be coloured with ink pads, they can be stamped over & punched for a variety of projects.

2. Creatively Yours
Creatively yours Wood mounted ~ 122610 £16.95 Clear Mounted ~ £13.95
A nice set for Stampin your mark on your creative projects & a must for anyone selling Stampin' Up cards to enable them to comply with Stampin' Ups Angel policy.

3. Broadsheet alphabet
Broadsheet Alphabet Wood Mounted 118724 £44.95 ~ Clear Mounted 120585 £36.95
If you only ever purchase one Alphabet then I would urge you to look at this one as it is so versatile for Monograms, Scrapbook titles & cards. So beautiful & everyone is different.

4. Page 67 has the loveliest layout using the new set called Creative elements.
Creative Elements Wood mounted 122645 £29.95 ~ Clear Mounted 122647 £23.95
5. On Page 51 I love the Paisley petals set & Paisley petals Designer Series papers, the whole page is a feast for the eyes, I love the notebooks that they've made as the display samples.
Designer Series papers 122367 £9.95

Paisley petals wood mounted 122545 £23.95 Clear Mounted 122547 £18.95

6. Pennant Parade & the co-ordinating punch
Petite Pennants Builder punch 122361 £15.50

Pennant parade 122740 wood mounted £20.95 122742 Clear mounted £16.95
So far I think this is probably the set that I have found most samples made with from the new catalogue.

7. Welcome Christmas this is a set that carried over from the last catalogue & I bought it as part of a bundle last year & had never used it until this week when I was planning some classes & now i have so many ideas for using it on my own Christmas cards, I have already made 6 different samples.
Welcome Christmas 118736 Wood mounted £26.95 120597 Clear Mounted £21.95

8. Tagtastic Hostess set This set has a tag for most occasions, but why stop at using them as tags they would easily make a focal point or an embellishment on a scrapbooking project or a greetings card.
Tagtastic Hostess set available to purchase with Hostess Pounds 122745 Wood  mounted £12 hostess pounds ~ 122747 Clear Mounted £10 hostess pounds.


9. Teeny Tiny Wishes I have seen this set in the American catalogue and really hoped that it would arrive here in the UK & it has.
Teeny Tiny Wishes 115370 £32.95

I love this set & I think its ideal partner is Elizabeth
117120 Elizabeth A La carte stamp £8.95
10. Delicate Doilies I have this set already & I have so many ideas of what I want to do with it, but everytime I get in the craft room I get distracted & make some different. I love the fact that 2 of the stamps have matching punches.
Delicate Doilies 122590 Wood Mounted £20.95 122592 Clear Mounted  £16.95

Jack of all trades

Halloween Treats


The beauty of this Halloween cracker treat is beautifully easy & is made using two seperate milk cartons using the Milk carton die.
The two ends are not glued into the central band, they do however fit snuggly allowing a treat to be placed in each end so everyone is a winner.






The colours used are Tangerine Tango & Concord Crush.
Jack of all trades
Wood mounted 122620 £21.95
Clear Mounted 122622 £17.95

The papers used to decorate the band are from the lovely Frightful Sight range 

I have used the Basic Black Satin ribbon, the ends have been frayed, which was incredibly hard, its called "Sods law" If i'd wanted a smooth flawless end to my ribbon it would have frayed, because I wanted a unfinished look It took me ages to get the ribbon to fray.


Halloween sets being in the new catalogue are a result of people power, Stampin' Up always ask for feedback & often send out surveys to demonstrators for feedback. One of the constant requests was Halloween, so here it is. 


So if you have any feedback that you'd like me to pass onto Stampin' Up then please leave a comment.

I'm off work tomorrow so i'm going to try a couple more of these in Christmas colours.


Another little treat

I love these new papers they are just luscious & they co-ordinate so well with one of the new stamp sets that I am yet to ink.

122360 Flirtatious Speciality papers £11.50

The stamp set i'm referring to is on page 69 of the new catalogue & is called Delicate Doilies 
122590 wood mounted £ 20.95 122592 clear mounted £16.95

I have seen lots of these treat bags in the past & never really paid much attention to them but with my mind turned to Christmas & table favours, treats & colleague gifts I thought I would try one out. The Flirtatious papers are lovely for a project like this as they contain a good mix of feminine colours 7 masculine colours as well as the two lovely sheets of laser cut doilies.
Melon mambo Doilies

 The tag was made using one of the lovely new stamps from the new hostess set called Tagtastic, this set can only be purchased with hostess pounds, which are earned by placing an order over £150 or by hosting a party.



Wood mounted 122745 £12 hostess pounds
Clear Mounted 122747 £10 hostess pounds
If you would like to know more about becoming a hostess & how you can earn exclusive hostess sets then drop me a line or comment on this post.

A treat with the new catalogues

This is what awaited my ladies when they arrived for this weeks Stampers 10 group. A note pad with their initials the alphabet is Broadsheet. A note peg again with their initial & of course a wish list sheet.

Broadsheet Alphabet 118724 wood mount £44.95 120585 Clear mount £36.95
The papers are from the new catalogue in the pack you get two of each sheet of the double sided papers plus two sheets of the laser cut doilies 1 in Pumpkin Pie & 1 in Melon mambo.
122360 Flirtatious £11.50
The pads are very easy to cover & only take about 10 minutes each but all of my ladies loved them, some were so busy playing with the Kitten that they didn't even notice the new catalogues & pads.




I am now looking at a slightly different design for my Stampers 7 ladies as they've probably seen this post & I do like a little surprise so I wont blog them until after I see my ladies on the 10th.

So let me know what your Loving

Hostess Pounds & how to earn them.



With the new catalogue Stampin' Up have streamlined the hostess benefits making it possible for any hostess to now achieve any stamp set, the hostess benefits programme is called Hostess pounds. 

How do Hostess Pounds work?
Hostess Pounds can only be spent on the products in the hostess section of the catalogue AND in the remaining pages of the catalogue. The hostess section features exclusive stamps sets which can only be earned when hosting a workshop or joining one of my stampers 6 / stampers 10 groups or by placing a qualifying order over £150
Each product in the hostess section will have a hostess value next to it. This will indicate how much of your pounds you will spend if you select that particular set.
The great thing is, if you were to select a stamp set that is £45 hostess pounds, you can still own that set by paying the additional £5. How great is that?!

If your Interested in Earning Hostess pounds then contact me today or leave a comment on this post.

Crafts are here

Crafts are here, crafts are there,

My craft supplies are everywhere.

I really should clean this mess,

but I like it I confess.

Floor is littered, chairs are piled,

Kitchen's looking pretty wild.

On the table, counter too,

Seems that any place will do.

Hall is stacked with cartons high,

filled with things folks like to buy.

Garage is full, but so far....

there's still room to park the car.

I never have an idle day,

New ideas come my way.

Don't know yet what I'll create,

but my imagination's great.

My family smiles, they don't complain,

although at times I am a pain.

but when all is said and done,

I really am a crafty one!
