Using the catalogue as inspiration

 Do you recognise this? 

You've ordered some really gorgeous craft supplies and are eagerly awaiting their arrival. When they arrive you're blown away by their beauty but also a little stumped on what you will do with them.  Those 12" x 12" patterned papers are stunning but they don't immediately give you inspiration on what to make with them.

In my latest YouTube video I make really quick cards with a very limited number of supplies. I'm not even stamping (gasp!:-). 


Let me know what you think? Could you pick out a few sheets of patterned paper, some basic cardstock and sentiments and then use your catalogue to create a card quickly? 

We have a lovely, friendly, Facebook community where we share what we make. We'd love you to join us to show what you've made.

Warmest regards,

Sonja

p.s. Want to see if that gorgeous Painted Illusions paper is still available than have a look at the £5 Product of the Month section on my shop: https://www.stampinup.uk/product-of-the-month?demoid=5060469

Make sure you allow me to contact you and I will send you handmade card and a little gift as a thank you for your order.

Hello crafters! 

I am so excited that Paper Pumpkin Kit subscriptions are now available in all markets. The perfect option for busy crafters who love getting an exclusive box full of crafty goodness delivered to their door each month.

You can set up an ongoing pay per month subscription or pay multiple months in advance so you get the rewards immediately. Once you're subscribed you will also have access to refills and past kits.
Each kit has a stampset, ink spot and all the supplies to make cards or a paper project. Each quarter you also get the opportunity to purchase a set of dies that matches all three kits in that quarter.
This month's kit is called Lakeside retreat and as someone who spent a lot of her weekends and Summer Holidays sailing on a lake in Holland I am really looking forward to this one.
