It's all go .....

Goood Morning!

Lots of news and updates for you - the main one being that I am starting classes again - yay!!!

I'll be running card classes ....

Card making classes

Scrapbook classes .....

Scrapbook Classes

And lastly, mixed media/technique classes ...

Faery Door Mixed Media Class

Well it's all go here at Bryson Towers.  As a lot of you know (and some don't), I've moved back to my home town of Wallasey.  It's a 10 minute drive from Liverpool (under the river), and is based on the Wirral.  I have a totally new life, and it's taken me a while to settle down into it, and pick myself up again after my operation.  I can't believe that it's been a year this Saturday, and I can't believe how long it's taken me to adapt, but I have! YAY!.

I'm now at the stage, where I can start planning for the future, and I am bringing back my classes.  Initially, until I build my business up again, they will be ran from home with class sizes ranging from 4-6 people.  I will also be holding a monthly crop on a Saturday, although I am still in discussions with the venue owner - but I will have confirmation of the first date very shortly, so please keep popping back for more details.

Stampin Up

I am hoping to be able to pick my Stampin Up business again too - I needed to let go a bit in order to recover and recuperate.  I'd love to be able to build my team up again, and offer the kind of support, fun and laughter that we had previously.  I still offer FREE training for anybody who joins my team - so if you are looking into starting your own business for just £99 and/or would love a discount on all your purchases, then please give me a shout and we can 'hook up' as the Americans say!

Offers
There are lots of offers and clearance products via my online shop - some of these products are at a HUGE, MASSSIVE discount, so click the 'shop now' button to the right of my blog, and have a meander.  You can either place your order online, or via myself.

Stamp Club
I have a couple of places left on one of my stampers club/groups.  You commit to spending £15 per month, or more (plus postage) and it helps spread the cost of your supplies.  You will also receive offers, free catalogues, free tutorials and sneaky peaks of products before anyone else etc. etc...  If you are interested in joining up, then please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

As always, if you have any questions or queries, then please email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or text me on 07747 465186, and I will call you back.

I look forward to hearing from you all, and hopefully seeing you all in the near future.

It's the Season to be jolly ...... NEW launch!

Today is the launch of the 2016/2017 Autumn & Winter Catalogue - yay!!!!  You can find the online catalogue HERE for your ease ... or I can send you a hard copy in the post.

This years catalogue is full to bursting with new products .... papers, stamp sets, framelits, punches, ribbons, embellishments!  Watch out for the amazing bundles that are on offer - they give you an extra 10% off, so well worth considering buying the bundle, rather than individually.

You can place your orders by shopping online - click on the SHOP NOW button, email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186.

As a demonstrator, we are lucky enough to be able to pre-order some of the products to try before recommending them to you ... these are just a few of my favourites ...

'Santa' framelit ... too cute for words ... the 'curls' of his beard can be used as 'waves' for seaside cards, layouts etc....

Next are these stunning glitter embossing powders ... love, love, love em!

The Santa hat punch has a matching stamp set - and is available as a bundle .. I'll show you some samples over the next few days ....

How cute are these embellishments?!?!?  Oh my days ... love em!

There's a large selection of new washi tape sets for you - I love the colours in the set below, which have papers AND a stamp/framelit bundle to co-ordinate with them.

So ... grab yourselves a coffee and some chocolate biscuits, and get ready to drool ... erm .. dribble ... let me know what you think ...  and don't forget to pop back to see more samples.

You can also see my 2016-2017 Autumn Winter Catalogue Pinterest Page where you will be able to see more products and samples from the catalogue.

Enjoy!  See ya soon - Cal xxx

Thinking about ...

.... lots of things, but in particular this ....

This is without doubt one of my most favourite bundles ever.  There are so many different ways to use this set ... I showed you how I had used the tree on a layout that I had designed for the Croydon weekend retreat, but there are so many other ways to use this set - think Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter trees ...  the sentiments can also be used all year round .... and it is such a bargain!
£46.75 is the cost of this kit, and combined with my offer of free postage on orders over £45 (excluding stamp group orders), then you have a massive combined saving!

HERE is a page from Pinterest showing you all the different ways that you can use this set.

Don't forget, if you received a coupon from last months SU offer, then you can use that against the cost of this bundle too!

BIG NEWS
The NEW Autumn/Winter catalogue will be launched on the 2nd September - there are so many NEW products in this edition, that it will blow your mind!!!  I promise!  To make sure that you get your hands on a copy of the catalogue, make sure that firstly, you have requested one and secondly, that I have your address.  To earn a copy for free, then place an order this month to qualify.

Keep your eyes peeled on Pinterest for upcoming sneaky peaks .... ;)  I might be tempted to do a very quick video when my next pre-order arrives!  I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but demonstrators get to pre-order a month before any catalogues are launched - this means, that if you were tempted to sign up as a demonstrator, then you can choose some of these new products in your starter kit!  whoop whoop!

As always, to place any order, or if you have any queries, please email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com - or shop at the button above 24/7 or call/text me on 07747 465186 (it's great to chat at times) :)

Thoughtful Times

It is definitely a thoughtful time for me - because of this amazing llimited edition bundle called Thoughtful Branches.  I think this could quite possibly be my most favourite bundle ever!

It really is for a limited time only - available only in August.   I don't tend to buy the limited products because it doesn't make good business sense, to carry around stock and use it, then not be able to sell it to customers - however, for this set, I have made an exception - I absolutely love it!   I've used it for all different types of media - from scrapbooking to cards, to canvas ... everything!

The cost is £46.75 for the bundle - but don't forget, if you earned coupons from last months coupon offer, then you can reduce the cost.  ALSO, as the order is over £45, you will receive free P&P to deliver it directly to your door.

I have a Pinterest page with lots of suggestions on how to use this bundle HERE and a main link  HERE  REMEMBER though, this bundle is only offered on a first come first served, and limited time offer.

Contact me today to order yours.

carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186

Here's a sneaky peek using the bundle, from the Croydon Retreat kits.

Pop back for more ideas!  Look forward to hearing from you xxx

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who sponsored my partners Mum, Mary when she recently took part in the Race for Life.  I thought you would like to see a photograph of her crossing the finishing line with her sisters!   Mary managed to raise almost £700 from the event, and I think at 70+ that that is a massive achievement!

I can't say too much,  but there is a nice surprise coming in the not too distant future, and you will have the coupons to spend then.  Or why not order your 'essentials' ie., tape runners, double sided tape, cardstock etc. etc... and qualify for a coupon that way.

Well, I hope you are all okay?  I've been receiving some fabulous photos from customers with projects from the new catalogue.  Here are a few projects from Jane Bryan - aren't they stunning?  I particularly love the butterfly cards using the butterfly punch, and the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.

Up, up and away ....

... in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon!!!!!

There is so much to see in the new catalogue, that I have promised myself, that I am going to be more vigilant this year.  I always see stamp sets that I'd overlooked previously, right after a new catalogue launches and the old one retires.

In the following two card samples, I've used two stamp sets.  The 'Hooray' is from a fabulous sentiment stamp set called Confetti Celebration and the balloon and 'Happy Birthday' sentiment are from another new set called Birthday Banners.  The latter set has a matching framelit set for the banners, and the balloon can be punched out from the balloon punch that has carried over into this catalogue.

These cards are clean and simple, and as you can see, very easy to mass produce.  The balloons have been popped (no pun intended) onto dimensionals to make the cards a little more interesting, and a piece of white bakers twine added for effect.  I used a tone-on-tone technique (cardstock and matching inkpad) in two of the new in-colours - Flirty Flamingo and Dapper Denim.

Don't forget that you can click on the links to the right to access the new catalogue - either click on the shop now, or click on the catalogue link.

Really Retiring

Morning everyone!

I'm sorry for the lack of posts.  With moving back to the Wirral, I've not managed to set up my computer yet, so I'm using my partners laptop, which obviously doesn't hold all my data and images etc., but I'm muddling through.

Lots to remind you about at the moment.  Don't forget that we are currently moving through the RETIRING products - you only have up until 30th May to ensure that you purchase retiring products.  This includes retiring inkpads, ribbons, re-inkers etc.  I promise you - once it's gone, it's gone!

Don't forget that there's tons and tons of products with at least 50% discount, so it's worth checking them all out - you can view the retired lists via the Shop Now button on the right of this blog.  There's a product list, and a tools and accessories list, so please check them out!

On to new things ... as I'm sure you are all aware, the 2016-2017 NEW main catalogue is launching on the 1st June.  There are shed loads of new products, including new in-colours.  When I first saw the new in-colours I have to say that I wasn't that impressed.  HOWEVER, once I saw them combined with our other colour families, I was blown away - the colours compliment all the families amazingly well.

Once you see the colours in action with other colour families, I hope you will fall in love with them as much as I have.

There are also lots of co-ordinating in colour products to compliment the inkpads and cardstock, including this stunning ruffle ribbon - I've shown you the Peekaboo Peach colour here, and the quality is, as expected, amazing!!!!

Can you spot anything else?   This one of an embossing folder set called Floral Affection, and you can see the second half of the set below:-

Ooops you can also see a new bundle ....  Thoughtful Banners stamp set and the Duet Banner Punch - how easy is it to now make a statement with your sentiments?!?!

More to follow over the next few days .... BUT ..... how do you get your hands on a new catalogue?

If you are a member of one of my Stampers Groups, and have placed an order within the last 2 months, then you will receive a catalogue for free.
If you are a long-time customer and have placed an order within the last 2 months, then you will also receive your catalogue for free.
If you are none of the above, then I will send you a catalogue for half price, plus postage.  Available via paypal ... Please paypal me £5 to carolebryson@hotmail.com and include your address in the 'notes' section, I will then post out a catalogue to you immediately. I'm sorry that I am having to charge non-customers for catalogues (previously I would send them out for free), but the catalogues are costly to buy, and also to post out, so I hope you understand.

Anyway, keep an eye out for more sneaky peaks.  You can catch up on lots more sneaky peaks and products by viewing and following my Pinterest pages, my facebook business page Carole Bryson at Heartfully Yours, or following me on Instagram (Carole Bryson).

Catch you all soon - big loves - Cal xxx
