First Post covid crafting! We're having a lovely time at a shoebox swap. I really like this as I don't have to do all the design and prep. It's also great to have variety with different people's designs.

Stampin Up is adding some new colours to their range and also have some favourite in colours from the past returning. I'm really happy to see a pretty pink and yellow. Of course this means that soem colours will be retiring and I'll add a post about that later.

Let me know if there are any colours no longer available that you can't do without and would want ink refills or cardstock ordering. I plan to order on Monday night.

Stampin Up are releasing a new Christmas card kit tomorrow and I have shared a video for you to look at the details. These are equally great for crafting on your own or along with some friends. I have set a date of Friday 15th October for a "kit" night where I will host a zoom session and everyone will link in from home and craft away. If the Christmas Kit isn't for you there are a whole host of other kits and paper pumpkins to choose from plus a few great buys on the clearance rack. You can order directly via me(before 30th September) where there will be no postage charge for delivery within North Staffordshire or through my web based shop.

After an amazing week of weather the rain has now set in. That means Mike has gone mountain biking so I'm here in the cozy motor home crafting. Here's a card I designed for part of my 4 week set of classes over zoom for September. I love these non traditional Christmas colours in the whimsy and wonder suite.
Is it raining where you are?
If so how are you passing the time?

I;m away on holiday so seizing the opportunity to get a bit of admin and some crafting done. Today we've walked 10km around Coniston with a boat trip across the lake. It was wonderful. I've then been scrolling through my phone and come across these photos of cards I made for Anna and her boyfriend, James on their graduation. The colours match their college colours. You can't tell but the white is velvet paper which was the closest I could get to their furry hoods. All made using the well suited dies

I've had a lovely crafternoon doing some in person crafting( garden) with a small group. For one of the ladies this was the first time she stamped with us in person rather than via zoom and wanted to know where to get inspiration from. This is a good start. In addition google images typing in Stampin Up and the name of your stamp set or pack of papers will yield lots of ideas. Of course Pinterest is FULL of ideas but I try not to go down that rabbit hole or I get NOTHING done for the rest of the day. Share any tips you have for inspiration for a relatively new stamper.
