The Daisy Delight Bundle is Back for Blog Candy!!

For some time, the Daisy Delight Bundle from the new Annual Catalogue was backordered and off-line, as demand was greater than expected, but the good news is that that has been remedied and it is now available for ordering!!

I finished cutting, winding, and sorting all my ribbon shares last night and they are ready to put in the mail! That was a big job that took several episodes of a Netflix series and by the time I'd finally finished, I noticed that the sun was coming up already!

And I have had a terrific month for sales and I have just promoted, so I'm feeling very thankful to my customers and I've realized it's been a really long time since I've given away any BLOG CANDY!

Not only that, but in less than a week, CANADA turns 150 years old! So there are so many reasons to celebrate right now!

I was working on a big project yesterday that I was hoping would have been done in time for my Monday blog post, but it was just too big to finish in time. I'm giving you a little sneak peek here, and I'll show you the finished product in my Wednesday post!

All that to say, that I've decided to have a Giveaway! Some Blog Candy to help you celebrate with me!

What am I giving away? The Daisy Delight Bundle, which includes the Daisy Delight stamp set and the Daisy Punch, and a pack of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper!

Daisy Delight Bundle (145361)

AND

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (144137)

I will be mailing this prize out to one LUCKY Canadian winner after the event closes on CANADA DAY, Saturday, July 1, 2017!!

How do you WIN?  Simply leave a comment on my blog telling me what you love about:

A. Canada    or   B. Stampin' Up!   or    C. Daisy Delight  

(and if you throw in a remark about what you love about Playing with Papercrafting, it wouldn't do you any harm! Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)

On Canada Day, Saturday, July 1, 2017, at 11 pm Pacific Time, I will enter the number of all the comments into a random number generator to pick the winner! If you are the winner, and you are CANADIAN, I will get your contact information from you and have your prize delivered right to your door!

I can hardly wait to hear from all of you! It's been a while since I knew who was reading my blog, so I'm sure it will help to reshape my reality! Haha!

**Once again, this event is limited to Canadian residents only!

Something Old, Something New for Just Add Ink

I hope you had a great Easter weekend! Mine was busy. We did a musical drama at our church for which I helped to write the script and I worked the backstage during the production. It was a big success, which is always gratifying to see! All the kids and grandkids stayed home so it was a bit quiet here but that meant I could play around with all my new catty products which arrived Thursday afternoon, so Saturday I assembled stamp sets and put away new materials and Sunday after church, I stamped to my heart's content.

But I have a dilemma! I have wonderful new product to play with, but there are dozens of old products that are retiring. I want to feature them as well,so that you don't forget about sets that you loved but haven't had a chance to purchase yet and this is your last chance to do it! So I came up with a unique solution!!

I saw a great sketch challenge I wanted to try over at Just Add Ink, so I thought I'd do the challenge twice - once with retiring products that I wanted to feature and once with brand new products from the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue! Here's the sketch:

This sketch makes me happy! Here's what I did with it:

Retiring Products first:

This card features the Grateful Bunch stamp set, which happens to coordinate with the Blossom Bunch Punch, which just happens to be on sale for 50% off. The sentiment is from another retiring stamp set, Sunburst Sayings. The clear mount set is also on sale for 15% off. Other retiring products involved in this set are the Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper, the Tip Top Taupe 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon, on sale for 30% off, and the Succulent Garden 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack, on for 20% off.

Now here's one with mostly new or continuing products in it:

The card base is the new Powder Pink* In Colour. It falls somewhere between Pink Pirouette and Blushing Bride, which is the colour of the card base of the previous card.

The beautiful new Designer Series Paper is called Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper*. It is one of my favourite sets of the new catalogue, so I urge you to take a good look at it when you get your copy. There are some beautiful designs. The stamp set I used for the focal point is called Daisy Delight* and it's a 16 piece photopolymer set. There is a coordinating punch called the Daisy Punch*.
The contrasting cardstock I used is also a new In Colour called Tranquil Tide and the sentiment comes from another new stamp set called Label Me Pretty* which coordinates with a new punch called the Pretty Label Punch* (plus the 1 1/4" Circle Punch). The only products which aren't new are the Burlap Ribbon which will continue in the new catalogue and the Pool Party 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, which is retiring and is actually now sold out.

*New products from the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue, available on June 1.
