It's Limited .... and it's beautiful!

Merry Patterns - Limited Edition

LIMITED EDITION: If you place a £250 order, as an extra bonus, you will receive this limited edition stamp set for free -  It will not be offered again, and truly is a one-off set ...  This is a two-step stamping set, which means that you stamp the outline of the image first, then stamp again filling in the outline.

Here is a great video from Stampin' Up! demonstrating this set ....

And here are a couple of my samples ...

Instructions:  Cut a triangle from the Merry Music designer series papers and adhere to the card base as shown above. Stamp the 'tis the ....." using black ink onto white cardstock.  Mount onto Old olive cardstock leaving a slight border.  Adhere to the right hand side of the card as shown above.  Stamp the outline of the word 'season' in black ink onto white cardstock.  I have then filled in  the outline with the pattern stamp in real red and olive green markers.  To give it even more pattern and to make it a little different,  I gently spritzed water over the inked stamp, and stamped over the outline.  Mount onto old olive cardstock and adhere over the triangle shape of Merry Music papers as shown.  Finally, punch a red bow, construct and adhere to the right hand side of the card as shown above.  Voila.... a quick and easy card!

Instructions:  Make a card base using crumb cake cardstock.  Add a piece of the wooden-style stack papers leaving a 1/8 border of crumb cake.  Using a darker piece of the wooden-style papers, make a 2 1/2" wide 'tail' and add it to the left hand side of the card as shown above.  Stamp the 'tis the season' stamp in black ink onto white cardstock, and colour in the word 'season' using Early espresso and slate grey marker pens.   Cut out using one of the large scallop circles from the circle layering framelits.  Cut out a circle slightly larger than the scallop circle and adhere the scallop circle on top.  Using a piece of left-over wooden-style paper, stamp and cut out the stag.  I lightly coloured the edges using the Early espresso marker and made the body more definite using the marker with the blender pen ... cut out the stag and adhere using the small dimensionals..  Add twine as shown above to finish off your card.  Voila! another easy card.

I can see me using this set to make lots of my personal Christmas cards.  I love it!

It's Launch Day!

... of the NEW 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue that is!

You can see the catalogue in all of it's glory on the right hand side of my blog.  Just click on the picture, and it will take you directly to the pdf.

REMEMBER - when a new catalogue launches it usually means some products will temporarily sell out very quickly.  Sometimes it can be days or weeks before they're back in stock, so order as soon as you can or call me today and you won't be disappointed.

MY TOP FIVE PRODUCTS (which I think will sell out very quickly)

1.  The Planner Kit - Page 12
2.  Colourful Seasons Bundle - Page 149
3. Daisy Bundle - Page 126
4. Tabs for Everything Bundle - Page 43
5. In Colour Inkpads/Card etc. - Page 184 

NEW IN-COLOURS
These beauties are the range of new in-colours for this year.  They work amazingly together, and they work fantastic combined with other colours families.  Over the next few days, I'll be able to show you the different colour combinations and how they work with each other ... Aren't they beautiful?!?! This is definitely my most favourite launch of in-colours EVER!

 

PRODUCTS

I've shown you a sneaky peak of the wonderful Daisy Bundle - well this is the whole bundle.  The stamp set and punch are sold as a bundle, and the papers, card, ribbons, gems are sold individually.  With a discount for buying a bundle, I think this is amazing value. 

This will be the first card class that I will be advertising, and it will also be sold as a 'Class to Go' too.  I absolutely love this bundle, and my teamie Julie (Ribbon Hoarder blog) and I had a play the other week and came up with the following ... I hope you enjoy our samples.

It really is an amazing set, that is so adaptable and can be used on lots of different projects.  A little tip though ... make sure you have one leaf of the daisy pointing down when you stamp and then punch them - it makes life a lot easier!

As you will see from the catalogue, there are masses of new products - have you seen the embossing paste yet?!  There's tons of new card (A4 and 12x12), the fantastic new Planner (oh my days, its even more beautiful in real life), new ribbons, new embellishments .. new everything!

JUNE PROMOTION 

During June, you can earn an extra £30 of product for placing an order, or hosting a party over £300.  I know it's a big ask, but maybe you could put yours and your friends orders together and share the extra benefits.  Here's a picture showing all the extras you can earn.

I know there's a lot to go through, so I'll sign off for now.  However, if you have any questions, then please call or text me on 07747 465186 or email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

So grab a brew and a chocolate biscuit and take a look through the catalogue - if you are ready to place an order, then contact me as per above.  Here's a little shopping list to help you to take notes.

Have fun and thank you for choosing me to be your Demonstrator!

Brilliantly Big Roses and Brilliantly Big Bundles Offer !

We are having an amazing summer here in the Bryson Household.  Mr B and I have been working in the garden with the help of Jack Jnr, and not only are we making the garden as safe as can be for Jack, but we have finished removing huge trees and bushes, to give us room for planting.

I adore roses, and this year, my roses have started coming up a treat – lots of buds and blooms, and the most beautiful smell you can imagine.  I even bought some miniature tea roses from Aldi for £1.29 and they are absolutely full of heads – one at the moment has 8 heads on it !    (ignore the wooden board at the back of the tea rose, that’s to stop Jack from escaping)!

NEW IN-Colours 2015-2015

It's out with the old....and in with the NEW....NEW Stampin' Up! In Colours.  With each NEW Stampin' Up! Catalogue comes 5 NEW Stampin' Up! In Colours.  ‘In Colours’ are the NEW and trendy colours that are available for two years!  

These are the NEW 2014-2016 In Colours.  They are :-

• Blackberry Bliss
• Hello Honey
• Lost Lagoon
• Mossy Meadow
• Tangelo Twist

Would you like to see how they compare to our core colours?

Here is the new Blackberry Bliss (on top) and it's close purple companions.

Hello Honey!!  A fun new yellow that is a bit darker than our Crushed Curry.

You won't get lost with the NEW Lost Lagoon!  A deep, rich blue with a bit of grey undertones.  A great addition to our blue lineup.

The NEW Mossy Meadow is a deep, dark green that is so pretty.  It just seems to fill a spot we needed in our greens.

Bright and Sassy describes the NEW Tangelo Twist In Color.  You can't help but smile when you pull out this fun colour.

I made both of these cards using some of the new In-Colours.

DON’T FORGET

To help you spread the cost of buying Stampin’ Up! Products, I am starting another 10 Club Group starting in July.  You commit to spending £15 per month (or more, plus postage) for 10 months, and during the time that you are in the group, YOU will be the ‘virtual hostes’ and will earn at least £25 to spend on anything that you like from any of the current catalogues.

Joining a 10 Club Group, is the best way to spread the cost of buying, earn products for FREE, and you will also receive all the catalogues that are launched during your time with the group, FOR FREE !

Another perk, is that I also have a Member of the Month, who will receive either a product or a Gift Voucher.

ORDERING

If you prefer to email me your order rather than order via the online shop HERE, then please email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186.  Please use these details to request a catalogue if you haven’t received one already.
