<br />
The stamp set has flowers, stems and sentiments galore and I figured that by using one colour per type of flower I could come up with an arrangement that I liked. There are in fact 37 stamps in the set, 7 of them being flowers, buds or bunches of flowers, and I've only used 5 of them (includes a bud).<br />

These cards are going to be my May Thank You cards, so which one has your name on it?<br />
<br />
All of the cards have the same images stamped and die cut on the front, but I've used different coloured base cards and matting layers. It's surprising how easy it is to change the look of a card by simply changing simple things like that.<br />
<br />

The card on the right has a Lovely Lipstick card base with a layer of Blueberry Bushel while the card on the left has a Grapefruit Grove card base with a layer of Blueberry Bushel (again).</div>

Card on the right has Call Me Clover as the base and Lovely Lipstick as the mat, while the card on the left is Blueberry Bushel with a matting layer of Grapefruit Grove. I think that the Grapefruit Grove on Blueberry Bushel is my favourite out of all the cards made.<br />
<br />
All of the cards have a strip of the In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (DSP) in them, and I co-ordinated it with the colour used for the matting layer. The DSP pack comes in a collection of striped and spotted paper and there are 40 sheets (4 each of 2 double-sided designs in the 5 colours) the pack.<br />
<br />
You may have noticed that I made use of the co-ordinating Bouquet Bunch Framelits to die cut some of the flowers and the Blueberry Bushel bows. The dies are a must have if you have lots of flowers to cut or are simply not into fussy cutting.<br />
<br />
Just so you know, the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set will be carrying over into the new annual catalogue and the dies (Bouquet Bunch Framelits) are too. However, if you want to save yourself some money you have until the end of the month to purchase the two as a bundle which will save you 10%. Come 1 June they will only be available individually.<br />
<br />
Happy stamping<br />
<br />

I've no idea why I seem to be having issues week, it doesn't usually take me too long to figure things out. But, this time around there were a lot of trials with other stamp sets before I came up with something I was happy with.</div>

I'm hoping that it will continue for at least a few more days, but sadly the weatherman says not.<br>
<br>
This week Cathy has a sketch challenge for us.<br>

Because it's May and the start of the summer wedding season, I decided to turn the sketch on it's side and make a wedding card.</div>

I'm not sure if you have hopped from Robbie or Ann, or are simply starting here. Either way, welcome.<br>
<br>
Although Mother's Day has been and gone here in the UK, today is Mother's Day elsewhere around the world. Because of this, the theme this month is Mother's Day or Floral. And, the Share What You Love bundles certain fit the bill when it comes to floral.<br>
<br>
I opted to make a special Z-fold card. It's much easier to make then you think, so I dare you to give it a go.<br>

Admittedly there is sometimes only two ideas plus a choice of sentiments but, either way, everyone has a choice of what they would like to make without making it overly complicated for them (or me).<br>
<br>
Starting this week, I'm going start to share the ideas with you. The plan is that it going to become a regular feature on my blog - the first and third Friday of each month. #onestamponekitthreeideas<br>
<br>
This past Wednesday we had the first Card & A Cuppa for May and this is the kit that everyone received as part of the One Stamp, One Kit and Three Ideas.<br>

This month Cathy designed the challenges for us. This is her first one, which is a colour one.<br>

Sadly, Soft Sky is one of the colours that will be retiring at the end of the month. I'll be sorry to see it go but I know that there are lots of lovely new colours heading our way.<br>
<br>
I made this card of Sunday and to be honest I was in a bit of a funk. It's was raining and we had put the heating back on!! Because of the weather my first thoughts turned to the Weather Together stamp set (also retiring at the end of the month). For some reason the Soft Sky and Berry Burst made me think of a striped umbrella.<br>

Everyone who attended received the Perennial Birthday stamp set together with their very own Perennial Birthday Project Kit. I also added some cardstock, envelopes, embellishments and ribbon so that those attending could make some additional cards.<br>
<br>
Sadly, the Perennial Birthday Project Kit will be retiring on 31 May but it's still available on a while stocks last basis.<br>

<br>
I designed a relatively quick and easy Make N Take for everyone to make using the Lilypad Lake stamp set and also cardstock and inks in the new 2018-2020 In Colors. The Lilypad Lake stamp set and co-ordinating dies will be available as a bundle from 1 June as will all the new In Colors etc.<br>

She loves all things flamingo so when I saw the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set sitting on my shelf I knew I had found the ideal stamp to use on her card.<br>
<br>
I wanted to try something a little different, and opted to use the Hidden Letter Technique. And, this is what I came up with when I combined the two.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are four stamps that make up the flamingo so I decided to use my Stamparatus (available 1 June if you didn't get one in the pre-releases). The Stamparatus made is easy for me to not only stamp the image on the card but on the envelope too.</div>

I was really excited when I saw these colours but when I sat down to work with them all the ideas that I had seemed to have vanished into thin air. After going off to do something else I came back and made the following card.<br>

This first box was made by Angie, and she got the inspiration for the colour palette and the design from the napkins that are in the box. The images stamped on the box all come from the Petal Palette stamp set and she used the co-ordinating Petals & More Thinlits Dies to cut out the birds. Both of these will be in the new annual catalogue but they will not be available as a bundle as they are now.<br>

<br>
As well as the introduction of new colours there has been a bit of a change around and some colours such as Real Red and Old Olive have moved families.<br>
<br>
Putting all of this together means that the colour families will from 1 June 2018 look like this.<br>

There was a little ripple of shock that went around the event when the Neutrals were introduced. But, having the three colours Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow and Night of Navy in there does make sense because many people, me included, will use them as a neutral colour.<br>

Colour Revamp Part 1.Stampin' Up! announced the Colour Revamp at last weekend's OnStage Local events. Those of us who went to the CentreStage event the night before were the first to hear about it, and it was funny to hear the cheers or the groans as each of the retiring colours were announced.<br>
<br>
There are 13 colours being retired in addition to 4 of the current 2016-18 In Colors. The fifth In Color, Flirty Flamingo, will be making a re-appearance in the Brights Collection.<br>

<br>
This is probably just as well because I have a friend arriving today from the USA. We are planning lots of fun things to do over the week that she is here. She's not a crafter, but I'm sure I'll get a chance to sneak into my craft room while she is here and you never know, I might just be able to convert her when she comes with me to next week's Card & A Cuppa.<br>
<br>
I have a few posts already scheduled over the next week but in the meantime I thought I'd share pictures of the goodies that I received last weekend at OnStage.<br>

Despite having a copy of the yet to be released 2018-19 Annual Catalogue (starts 1 June 2018) and seeing all the fabulous new products that's in store for us, it's always difficult to say goodbye to some retiring favourites. I am really going to miss my go to favourite stamp set, Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies too. 😢<br>
<br>
Check out the lists to make sure you don't miss your favourite. There are two retirement lists, and you can click on the links below to see what's going. Before you do though, please take a moment to read the rest of this post.<br>

This time around we decided that we would stick to making WOW swaps just for our team, the Crafting Acorns.<br>
<br>
I made a start on mine a couple of weeks ago when I printed off the Stampin' Up! Statement of the Heart. I'd bought some key rings and fridge magnets when I was last in San Diego and thought that they would make great swaps for the team.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As well as stamps, ink and paper these are the basic tools that I used!</div>

I love these bright and cheery colours and went the floral route with them using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. There is a set of co-ordinating dies, Bouquet Bunch Framelits, and I used a few of the cute smaller ones (flower, tag and bow)out of the set.<br>
