Yes the clocks have sprung forward and we’re nearly into the middle of April already! Spring is here for sure, we have flowers out, sunshine and showers and the days are feeling longer every day. This Spring is especially busy for me as I have some great crafting sessions in April as well as the Stampin’ Up! biannual event OnStage to attend.

I’m settling into a rhythm with my new working life and getting used to the structure I need install to give YOU the best of my time and efforts. So I’ve been spending a lot of time working on things for the future. I’ve been busy designing for my Craft Retreat in May, my all day Celebrate Sale-a-bration event at the end of April and for my Technique class that I ran yesterday! Videos will be coming out for my techniques on Tuesday this week and the week after, so please check out my YouTube channel and subscribe so you get all the latest videos as they arrive – I think you’ll like these ones as they’re fun and very easy to achieve. So lots of surprises in store!

In the meantime I wanted to share another one of the projects we made at my Botanicals event because it’s so beautiful and actually really simple to achieve with these amazing Framelits and some gorgeous card stock.

I again used the English Garden Designer Series Paper for this card which has some amazing Spring designs and matched with the Night of Navy / Melon Mambo colour combination gives the framelits a really different feel. The sentiment is from Petite Pairs and fits perfectly onto the Whisper White punched using the Large Oval Punch.

Everyone should have received my April Crafty Corner too by now which has another Spring (haha) type card – if you haven’t then make sure you’re subscribed – click on my BIRTHDAYS menu option and subscribe today!   Speaking of menu options, Weekly Deals are retiring and will be replaced by special, one off promotions in the future, so grab some bargains while you can.  We also have a NEW Monthly Giveaway Code which is: XKECDGV9

This month I’ll be giving away a pack of Rhinestones to everyone who places an online order & uses my code. The little extra thank you will go out separately to your order as they come directly from me, and I’ll send them out at the start of May, but if you’re going to have a little Spring shopping spree, you might as well add the code at Checkout and get some free sparkle!

So, until Tuesday when I’ll be back with my next Quick Tip Video, have a great end to the weekend, hope you’ve had a good one. Thank you for stopping by. Crafty hugs, Pip x
