Detailed With Love Video!

So my latest video has been out for  a few days and I thought it was about time I got some of the details down!!

I used the Delightfully Detailed suite and one of the returning colours, Blackberry Bliss!  

I'm so happy that this colour is back so expect to see more of it here and in my videos!

To make this card I cut a Thick Very Vanilla card base, cut to 21 x 14.8cm and scored at 10.5cm.
A piece of very vanilla for the sentiment that measures 7 x 4 cm and a piece of Blackberry Bliss 10 x 14.3 cm.

I also used the amazing Delightfully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper. This comes as an 8 pack of 12 x 12 inch sheets. 4 each of 2 designs and each sheet is whisper white on one side and very vanilla on the other!

I have to say that the pictures of this paper in the catalog really don't do it justice. 

As you will see in the video it is incredibly delicate and fiddly to work with but it is definately worth the effort!  it can also be coloured in so expect to see it showing up again in the future!




While i'm here i thought id fill you in on a couple of promotions that are running at the moment

New Adventures!

Well it might be February, and a bit late for New Years resolutions, but it’s never too late to try something new!

This month will see the start of my new monthly card class.

The plan is simple, you come along and get to use the beautiful coordinating Stampin’ Up! products for only £10.

So I thought you might like to take a look at what I’ve got planned this month!

I decided to use the Tutti Frutti Suite and incorporate the gorgeous free Sale a Bration note cards!

What’s Sale a Bration? I hear you ask!

Well let me tell you, from January 3rd till March 31st, for every £45 you spend you get to choose a FREE product from the Sale a Bration range! To find out more, pop over to my website ( lilacdaisycrafts@stampinup.net ) or send me a message!

Anyway, where was I?  Ah yes, Tutti Frutti!

I love the bright colours and the mini punches in this suite!

I wanted to showcase the Sale a Bration note cards so used 2 of them when I planned my class projects,  they come in a pack of 16. 4 each of 4 designs in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party.

 

I’ll post more details of how I made my cards after the class but for now I’ll finish with a peek at what I came up with!

Remember, if you are local to me and want to come along to the class, drop me a line. Or head over to my shop to take advantage of the great Sale a Bration deals!

Hi everyone,

Today i want to talk about memory keeping!


If you are anything like me you have 100's of photos on your phone, tablet, computer that you fully intend to do something with but you never have the time.

Traditional scrapbooking can be time consuming and in the fast paced world we live in a quicker method to display those precious memories is needed.

We've all seen the adds for printed photo books, but I've always found them to be a bit sterile which is why i am so happy to introduce you to Memories & More.

Memories & More is a pocket page memory keeping system.  With both 12" x 12" and 6" x 8" album options you can combine traditional scrapbook layouts with simple pocket pages for a fast but beautiful project.

Each card pack contains 72 gorgeous double sided cards in 2 sizes as well as some co-ordinating extras like stickers or acetate sheets.  You can do a simple layout with a picture in 1 pocket with a card next to it with a note or step it up with stickers, ribbons or anything else you like!

To make this even easier the card packs all use the exclusive Stampin' Up! colours, giving you endless possibilities for your memory keeping!


And now comes the best bit!

It's called Memories & More, so here comes the More!

Many of the cards can be easily turned into beautiful cards!

I have decided to run a special offer to encourage you to get those pictures off your phones and into an album so take a look!

Order a 6" x 8" album, a pack of pocket pages and any card pack and receive a free pack of journalling pens worth £4.50.

OR

Order a 12" x 12" album, a pack of pocket pages and any card pack and not only will you get the pens for free but I'll add in a little pack of goodies that coordinate with your card pack!

So pop along to my online shop at lilacdaisycrafts.stampinup.net  between now and 1st October to place your order or get in touch for more information!

And don't forget to use the host code 64QQVS6R when you order!

I'm back!!

hi all, sorry for the absence. Things have been crazy busy!!

So here's an update!

Firstly I have a beautiful new logo!!!

What do you think??????  I love it!

In April  Stampin' Up held its fantastic Onstage event to launch the new catalogue! I wasn't fortunate enough to attend this but all the photos have been amazing and I'm looking forward to the event in November!

And finally, it's nearly catalogue launch time!  Now I've been able to look at the new catalogue and trust me that it is amazing!  The official launch day is 1st June so between now and then the retiring products from the current catalogue are on sale, many at discount!  Get over to my site lilacdaisycrafts.stampinup.net and check them out. Last chance to buy!!!!!

I've got a few of the new goodies already, (the perks of being a demo!) and this week i have been showcasing the Eastern Palace Suite over on my Facebook page, This is available to order now!! so if you like what you see get in touch to find out how you can order it!

This card is one i made for a make and take at a demonstrator event. I made the die cuts directly onto the card base then stuck some cardstock behind it. I think it worked really well and I'm keen to try it out with different dies!

This is quite a simple card made using some of the beautiful new Eastern Palaces Speciality DSP.

I did a little bit of fussy cutting on this one and incorporated some of the gold vinyl stickers!

I love how versatile this set is. You can completely change the look of these dies just by using one of the layering circles to cut it out or simply snipping it out!

This is one of my favourites!  Just stamps and ink!!

And last, but not least, something a little bit different!  Its not just about cards!!!

I hope you've enjoyed looking at what you can do with this bundle!  Keep an aye on facebook for more sneak peaks and details of my launch event!!

bye for now!
