A Suite Deal With 50% Off in June

by Joanne James4. June 2025 09:00

The month of June sees one of the best promotions for this time of year, when wishlists are long and there are lots of new suites to choose from. Starting 3 June, all available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off! If you’ve had your eye on a new suite from the annual catalogue or you really like the look of a stamp set from an Online Exclusives suite, you don’t have to choose—you can get both!

Details of the promotion are as follows:

  • All available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off.
  • When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item (for example, if you buy a suite collection and a stamp set from a suite, the suite would be full price, and the stamp set would be 50% off).
  • Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.
  • You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.
  • The discount will appear in your basket once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your basket.
  • Products are available only while supplies last.

The suites included in the promotion are as follows: - click on any of the images to be taken to the online store to see the products in more detail:

 

So much to choose from! The important thing to remember though to maximise your savings is - be strategic:

  • The 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item.
  • Maximize your BOGO savings! Purchase Bundles or Suites together.
  • If you are buying two Suites, skip adding individual items like Designer Series Paper from a Suite, since the paper may end up being the item that’s 50% off instead of the higher-priced Suite.
  • Place multiple orders to ensure the 50% off is maximized in each transaction - even with multiple P&P it will work out cheaper in the long run.

If you have any questions, do get in touch. Meanwhile, happy shopping!

Thankful Garden For FMS673

by Joanne James17. February 2025 10:00

Another Monday, another week! For me it's a week that's commute-free, as the youngest of the James Juniors is on his half-term break - yay! We have no big plans - next week is A-Level Exam mock week, so it's mostly an opportunity for revision - and possibly some extra crafting! I did escape the rain on Saturday and spent some time playing with some new goodies, so I have a couple of projects to share with you today. The first of these uses Jen T's fabulous layout over at Freshly Made Sketches:

      

I toyed with a simple, silhouette-style diecut against an ink-blended background, but I had a new bundle that had just arrived and when I saw the mood board over at Inkspirational I knew I'd need to go in a completely different direction - take a look at what I came up with:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Those lilac hyacinths on the mood board led me to create a lilac hydrangea head using my new 'Thankful Garden' bundle: this is a stamp and die bundle that includes stencils and will be available in a couple of week's time with the March release of Online Exclusives - a range of out-of-catalogue products that will only be available online. I stencilled mine using Highland Heather for each layer of the stencilled bloom and added it to a diecut circle with some border detail, again picking up inspiration from the moodboard. There was only one colour choice for my card base: it had to be Coastal Cabana, it's so vibrant in the inspo photo and provides a fresh backdrop for the single flower head:

 

A simple stamped sentiment that celebrates gratitude for good friends - so I'm also linking up over at Just Us Girls where that's their theme this week - along with a trio of enamel dots, complete by card.

The Thankful Garden Suite will be available to customers to order the week after next; I have a few more projects to share between now and then and I think it's going to be a firm favourite!

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

What great inspiration to start the week! Enjoy your day and I'll be back shortly with my second project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Latte Love To Start The Day But Only If You're Quick

by Joanne James3. February 2025 09:55

Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm starting the week with a card that I made when crafting up a storm last week that I had hoped to share but never got round to. It used the current Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch for the layout - I love things in threes!

I could have gone so many ways with this one and I was very tempted to dig out 'Bee My Valentine' as I haven't used any bees in a while, but instead I decided to use up some scraps of one of my favourite Online Exclusives sets instead - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I had lots of scraps of A Little Latte designer series paper in my stash, so used two strips of the coffee art pattern for the border edges and a trio of cups that I'd already cut from another sheet of the paper, which I overlaid onto some stamped splatters and coffee rings. A simple thank you sentiment stamped on the vertical finishes my card:

 

The Latte Love Suite is one of the Online Exclusives suites that is on the last chance list so if a morning coffee is your thing, you can still snap up the stamp set for the bargain price of £7.60 but you'll need to be quick! Since making my card the designer series paper has sold out and the dies have gone too.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

I have a short day today since the youngest of the James Juniors is on early pick up and I've blog posts to prep for later this week, so I'd better crack on! Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Mixed Florals Berry Burst Thank You Card

by Joanne James10. January 2025 12:00

Today I'm sharing my design team card for our first challenge of the year over at As you See It where we are kicking things off with a colour challenge chosen by Heather C:

    

I used the current sketch layout over at SUO Challenges and grabbed a new stamp set and die bundle and set to work - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Mixed Petals is a new Online Exclusives stamp set that I thought would work well with the challenge colours. I used some retired Berry Burst gingham paper for my background panel, then added a diecut in Peach Pie glimmer paper and a second one of the large stamped image in the set, that I coloured with my Stampin' Blends. I liked the idea of created some variegated colour tulips - I love that tulips come in such vibrant colours in real life:

 

I used the greys for my stems and leaves; a little poetic license for sure, however I do love the finished effect as it really allows the petals to stand out. I added a thank you sentiment from 'Thoughtful Wishes' and few coloured pearls and enamel dots to complete my card.

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

Here's a summary of our challenge rules:

  • Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D or packaging project that fits the challenge.
  • For a Colour Challenge use all of the given colours and only those colours with these exceptions:
    • White and Very Vanilla are free colours.
    • In addition, you may use of ONE of these neutrals: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige.
  • Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the challenge in your post.
  • Make sure you link the specific post and not the whole blog to the Linky. Use AYSI#(insert challenge number) when uploading to a public gallery
  • Please turn off word verification so that we can send you lots of feedback.
  • You can combine our challenge with up to 3 other compatible challenges. 
  • We do reserve the right to delete, or not consider for Top Pick and Featured Artist, entries that do not comply with these guidelines.
We look forward to seeing your creations in the AYSI gallery.

Enjoy your day and I'll be back on Sunday with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

Last Chance Product Discounts and Recoloured Designer Series Papers and New Kits

by Joanne James9. December 2024 12:00

I have an information post today with lots of news! As we move towards the end of the September December catalogue period, it will be the last chance for you to get your hands on retiring products. Now that we have multiple catalogues and Online Exclusive products, we are changing how products will retire. The Clearance Rack is going away and will instead be replaced by a Last Chance Products category that will be updated every other month. Updates to this category will happen in February, April, June, August, October, and December. Updates may include additional products in the category and any adjustments to product discounts. Updates happen at the beginning of these months, and I’ll be sure to post here when the category is updated. The key things to know are as follows:

  • Last Chance Products include retiring products from both catalogues and online releases.
  • Last Chance Products in this category are available while supplies last and will be discontinued when they sell out. Items will be automatically removed from the category and the online store when they are discontinued.
  • Discounts vary and are subject to change. Also, depending on inventory, these products may or may not have discounts.
  • The Last Chance Products category will be updated every other month in February, April, June, August, October, and December. 
  • We may add individual items from bundles or suite collections to our Last Chance Products category. If one or more products from the suite collection or bundle are in the Last Chance Products category, then the bundle and suite collection will also appear in this category. The bundle or suite will not be orderable if one or more of the items in the bundle or suite collection sell out. Our standard 10% bundle discounts will be available if one or more of the items move to the Last Chance Product category; however, the item in the Last Chance Products category may have a deeper discount.

You can see everything that is currently in the Last Chance Products Category by CLICKING HERE.

 

Retiring products are only available WHILE STOCKS LAST, so if you've still items on your wish list from this year's Stampin' Up! September-December mini catalogue, you should take a look and put in an order pronto! From tomorrow, there will be free shipping on all orders over £60 for the next 3 days, so it's the perfect opportunity; you can read more about that promotion here. Don't forget to add this month's online hostess code: 9NKXDTTR.

There are currently some great discounts, with lots of items and kits that would make great Christmas gifts! 

In addition, last week also saw the start of a special designer series paper release - full details are included on the flyer image below:

 

We’ve refreshed these previous Designer Series Papers using some of our best-selling colours!
  • Serene Love is recoloured from True Love.
  • Refreshed Beauty is recoloured from Blackberry Beauty.
  • Shades & Hues is recoloured from Color Theory.

Here's a close up of those paper designs, showing the original and refreshed versions:

 

If you spy a design you've previously loved, why not change things up by buying it in a fresh new colourway? These papers are only available while stocks last, so stock up on your favourites today!

About Me

Hi I'm Joanne and live in Northampton and when I'm not looking after my husband and two beautiful children, am an avid crafter with a passion for all things Stampin' Up!

I must confess that I have never been a big rubber stamper - until I discovered Stampin' Up! that is. I love the fact that I can get such great results with co-ordinating stamps, inks, papers and punches - the possibilities are endless! Join me on my stamping journey as I share the things I love and be inspired to create amazing things yourself!
