I can’t believe this is the last Needlepoint Nook card of the week! I absolutely LOVE this card, it’s quick and simple, and uses that white space I love so much!
The Stampin’ Up! Artisan created a fabulous blog hop using this suite last week, you can see all the fun projects over on my dedicated Needlepoint Nook Pinterest Board!
The background of this card has been stamped with one of the larger stamps from the Needle and Thread stamp set, actually it’s stamped twice as a backdrop for that cute sentiment.
Then the card is simply finished with a die cut, stamped flower in Berry Burst. You could really go to town on this one with adding jewels or pearls, or maybe some of those Needlepoint Nook Mini Buttons, however I chose to keep things simple, but pretty!

Today is the 4th Needlepoint Nook card of the week… and I have another one for you tomorrow too! Did you see my pretty floral Birthday Card from yesterday? I think that might be one of my favourite cards of the week. Saying that this one uses the Stitched Rectangles… and I love those too!
The Stampin’ Up! Artisan created a fabulous blog hop using this suite last week, you can see all the fun projects over on my dedicated Needlepoint Nook Pinterest Board!
For this card I have pulled another one of my current favourite products; the Stitched Rectangles dies! This have found their way onto a mountain of projects recently, but its because they are just so versatile, and an absolute crafting must have!
Again I’ve also used the pretty label punch on this card because it coordinates so perfectly with this sentiment, and just makes for such a lovely layer with those die cut stamped flowers and leaves!

Can you tell I am totally in LOVE with the Needlepoint Nook Suite? I am so sad that it is due to retire at the end of May. The Needle and Thread stamp set is super versatile and has a sentiment for just about every occasion! So far this week I’ve shared a Thank You card, and a Get Well Soon card, both using this fun stamp set.
Today I thought I would share this pretty Birthday Card…
This photo doesn’t really do this card justice, as the white layer is popped up off of that pretty Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, and is also embossed using one of the coordinating Needle and Thread Dies.
The colours in this card are so pretty too; Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride and Night of Navy. I think I need to make another card using this colour combo because it is just so lovely!

I’m sharing a whole week of Needlepoint Nook cards this week, did you miss yesterday’s card? Check it out HERE!

Today’s card is a really pretty, and simple, Get Well Soon card. These are one of those cards that you never have when you need one… except this suite would be a great way of making a stack of Get Well Soon cards ready to go for some stress free wish sending!
Needlepoint Nook also coordinates with the Pretty Label punch, and this sentiment fits in their just perfectly! Here I’ve layered it against an embossed panel using one of the dies from the coordinating die set too.

I have a whole week of fun Needlepoint Nook cards to share with you this week! I am so sad to see this stamp set and coordinating dies to retire at the end of May, as I have had SO much fun making heaps of cards with this bundle.
The Stampin’ Up! Artisan created a fabulous blog hop using this suite last week, you can see all the fun projects over on my dedicated Needlepoint Nook Pinterest Board!
The fun Designer Series Paper really compliments those pretty stamped flowers here doesn’t it? Needle and Thread is one of the Stampin’ Up! line of DistINKtive stamps, this means that the stamps leave a realistic impression, but it can be a little tricky…
Top Tips:
These stamps are easily over inked; I tend to use a drier ink pad or only tap the stamp to the pad very lightly
You use could a brayer or sponge to add the ink to the stamp
Practice; use that grid paper to practice stamp before going onto your good card stock!

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fabulous sketch, a love a sketch with lots of wiggle room for creative interpretation, and this is one of those sketches!
Because it’s such an open sketch, and with my rather limited crafting time at the moment I have kept my card fairly simple as well.
I was hoping that the Butterfly Gala stamp and punch set would be back in stock when this post went live, however, they are I believe stuck somewhere in customs in Germany for a little longer.
I am a huge fan of all things purple, in fact I had a friend at university who used to buy me things just because they were purple! This card uses a few ink colours (which you can find in the shopping list at the end of this post) to colour the butterfly wings. I love that this stamp set is also designed to a 2 Step Stamp; where the solid wings are also stamps for super fast colouring!
While Butterfly Gala is a gorgeous stamp set, it didn’t have the right sentiment for this card. So I grabbed one of my current favourites; Itty Bitty Birthdays. Stamped in Highland Heather to match the card stock and Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper.
I would LOVE to see what you create with this sketch, do share what you make with it, and check out the other Design Team members creations over on the Inspire.Create blog

Oh my goodness… what a whirlwind a of a weekend! I finally finished work on Friday afternoon ready for babies arrival, then spend Saturday with 600 of my favourite people at Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Telford, had Sunday in the spa to recover with James, then home yesterday and the start of the Stampin’ Up! Retiring List! My brain is completely fried… hence why this post is going up on Tuesday morning rather than Monday night.
However, I do have LOTS to tell you about, so shall we get started?
Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Products!
Click the image to see the full list!
Yes, it is that time of year already, when Demonstrators have a copy of the upcoming Annual catalogue in their sticky fingers and its time to say some fond farewells to some favourite stamp sets and more!
There are a fair number of changes coming in the new Annual catalogue, and as such this years list is a long one… however, it is also slightly mis-leading in that there are a some stamp sets that appear to be retiring but then are also being carried over into the new catalogue. This is because Stampin’ Up! are retiring Wood and Clear mount stamps, and replacing all their Red Rubber stamps with the new (and utterly fabulous) Cling mounted versions.
We are however saying goodbye to some firm favourites, and seeing as everything is While Stocks Last if you want any of these sets I would move quickly!
There are also a few tools that we are also saying goodbye to! Including the Envelope Punch Board, Big Shot and Stampin’ Trimmer!
There are many reasons these are leaving us; The Big Shot is going as Stampin’ Up! part ways with its manufacturer and switch to a new Die supplier. The Trimmer is retiring in preparation for a brand new, and much better trimmer coming (hopefully) in the next 12 months. We have had endless issues with the quality of blades for the Stampin’ Trimmer for some time, and therefore Stampin’ Up! are retiring it as it’s just not good enough.
You can, and will be able to get hold of Blades for your trimmer for the next few months though, so stock up now!
You can find the rest full list of Last Chance Products HERE on my webstore, and please do ask if you have any questions about what is and what isn’t going away.
What about the new…
So, yes, there is a Brand New Annual Catalogue coming your way on the 4th June! I am SO excited about this one… it’s a real goody!
I have a busy couple of months with the baby due at the start of May, and then the catalogue in June, so I am opening my Catalogue order form NOW so I can get ahead and prepared! As always catalogues are totally FREE if you live in the UK, and I am aiming to have them to you before the live date (along with a little something extra!)
So, if you want to reserve your copy of the new catalogue right now… just complete the form below

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a classic colour combination challenge. I had heaps of fun with this one as it’s totally in my comfort zone and plays really well into my love of white space…
With such a classic colour combination I decided to pull out a classic stamp set as well. I adore the Floral Phrases stamp set, but I haven’t used it for ages!
Using just Memento Black ink and my Stamparatus to ensure perfect positioning this card came together in a snap. This stamp is really clever as it looks like there are different shades of colour, but really it’s just inked and stamped once!
To add a little extra something I added a trio of Basic Black Faceted Dots.

Oh! We have waited a long time for today’s post, and the launch of Storage by Stampin’ Up!
Last year Stampin’ Up! changed the design of their ink pads (which are now even more awesome by the way!) and retired their previous storage system. The new ink pads are fabulous, and stack on top of each other neatly, but that’s not all that helpful when you want the ink pad at the bottom of the pile! However, today sees the launch of the brand new Storage by Stampin’ Up! system; a full customisible, stackable, storage solution for your new style Stampin’ Up! ink pads, re-inkers, markers, Blends, ribbons and more!
The system is modular, meaning that you can collect pieces as your ink pad collection grows. Each piece is bought separately, so you’re not going to end up with a load of bits that you don’t need! My plan is to grab the Blends trays first, as this is a current storage nightmare in my craft room… and then add some ink pad racks as I go along.
Want to see all the pieces, check out this handy PDF download, and choose your pieces!
