It uses the new This and That Epic Day papers from Stampin' Up, paper piercing templates, and a few alpha stickers. I kid you not, it took me less than 5 minutes to throw it together. Quick, clean and simple, just how I like it!

Here's an extraordinarily quick but effective card for Fathers' Day in the UK this Sunday.
It uses the new This and That Epic Day papers from Stampin' Up, paper piercing templates, and a few alpha stickers. I kid you not, it took me less than 5 minutes to throw it together. Quick, clean and simple, just how I like it!

New card class - July 4th
Evening all!
Tonight, I'm going to show you a sneaky peek of the cards that I'm going to be workshopping in my new card class coming up on July 4th, at 7.30 - 9pm in Dronfield Woodhouse.
During the class, you'll get the chance to play with quality Stampin' Up merchandise - stamps and ink, watercolour markers, a couple or three punches, some label dies and my trusty Cuttlebug.
Together, we will create three beautiful cards for you to take home - these can be customised to your preference of occasion/recipient. You'll also get to chat with like-minded people, sip tea or coffee and munch on biscuits! All for the sum of £7.50.
If you live in the local area (S18) and want to reserve a place (they are limited, so it's first come, first served), message me at sarahkbond@hotmail.co.uk.
I look forward to hearing from you!

A little poem
Hi there! I hope this June morning finds you well.
On my SU demonstrator group in Facebook, the lovely ladies call the UPS driver "Mr Brown". I just wanted to share this little poem that came to me as I sat waiting for UPS to deliver my next Stampin' Up order. It has a couple of sneak peek items from the new catalogue, out on 1st Jul, but I am even more excited about the fact that I have a copy of the new catalogue in the box too!
My little sticky marking strips are ready to be stuck to the pages, and I'm hoping that my little one will nap properly this afternoon so that I can have a good peruse!
I'll have the new catalogues ready to send out in July, so if you'd like a copy for £3 including postage, email me at sarahkbond@hotmail.co.uk and I'll sort it out!

Blog hop for Stampin' Up retiring products - morning cup
Good morning! Welcome to my little kitchen table of craftiness!
Today, I'm showing some recent cards made with some retiring stamps from Stampin' Up. It's nearly time for the new 2013-2014 catalogue, and some old favourites are being retired to make way. If you'd like to have a looksee to pick up some bargains or that stamp set you keep thinking about treating yourself to, the links are here: retiring stamps and retiring accessories. If you see something you fancy, just let me know - my offers still stand on all retiring goods.
If you've joined me from Tracie's blog, then howdy! After you've read my contribution to the blog hop, then you need to go to Nicky's blog, but I'll put the links again at the end of my post.
So, back to the creative stuff. I've chosen "Morning Cup" as my stamp set to showcase today, but I'm sticking to my quick, clean and simple methods.
The first card is a simple A6 white folded card. I used the coffee pot, the mug and one of the sentiments all stamped with Stazon Black, and coloured the heart in with a Raspberry Ripple marker. I then cut co-ordinating Subtles Rose Red card and Pretty in Pink cardstock with some Sizzlits edgelits. There's a row of stitching along the middle of the card just to finish it all off.
The second and third examples are single A6 pieces of card with the sentiment and image stamped on, coloured with Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple markers. They remind me a little of these postcards you used to get in the 1990's, which I cannot find the name of, but if someone knows what I mean, then please tell!
Then my most favourite. This teetering tower of teacups which I teamed with more coloured cardstock, but this time coloured with the watercolour brush and the 2012-2014 In Color markers. The marker colours in the sets go really well together, and I love that I don't have to mess about selecting shades that flatter each other.
Two cards and two postcards in ten minutes. You can't get much quicker than that!
I've got a whole mini-book planned about my love of tea, which is the main reason I bought this set, so it's definitely going to get more use. I can also envisage a use on the children's tea party/picnic/afternoon tea scrapbook layouts I've got lined up.If you fancy bagging yourself a set before they all go, they're £15.95 for the clear mount set, £19.95 for the wood mount set (see the right-hand column for my contact details).
So, thanks for stopping by! Your next port of call is Nicky, or, if you're going the other way round it's Tracie. Feel free to pop back later on in the week, when I'll be sharing some more colouring efforts, and my top tips for beginners (like me).
Bye for now!
