No Peeking

Hi all,

Well, it's certainly feeling more like winter now the clocks have gone back and the weather has done nothing but rain recently!  I couldn't resist, and HAD to buy No Peeking stamp set which I fell in love with ever since I first set eyes on the new Annual Catalogue :)

With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to make my nephew his Christmas card with this cute stamp set, hopefully, he'll love it as much as I do!  For his card, I used Real Red and Wild Wasabi colours for him, below is another one made using Cherry Cobbler and the new In Color: Gumball Green.

NEW In Color Share 2011-12.

This post will stay at the top
Please scroll down for new posts


Welcome to 1st October!!!

So much excitement, I don't know where to begin :)

As you may know, we got In Colors to the UK for the very first time last October and now not only do we have the five existing In Colors for another year, but from today, you can purchase five more new In Colors which have a two year life span to keep the palette fresh and exciting.

For the 2011-12 year, the five new In Colors are:



From today, I am offering you the chance to collect all five new In Colors over the course of five months. I need five people to join in this share and each month you will receive the following items in one colour per month:

Classic Stampin' Pad
Classic Stampin' Ink Refill
A4 Smooth Cardstock (24 sheets)
3/8" Ruffled Ribbon
8 sheets of 2 double-sided 12" x 12" Patterns Designer Series Paper
Stampin' Write Marker
8 Designer Printed Brads


One month, you will be Hostess and will benefit from Hostess goodies. A new Hostess Reward System allowing you to spend £25 on any of eight different Hostess Stamp Sets or Designer Series Paper of 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs or anything else from the Idea Book & Catalogue.

NEW Marker Share!

Have you thought about owning all the Stampin' Up! colours?


Have you wanted to own the set of 38 Stampin' Write Markers but haven't been able to afford them ALL in one go?

Well, there's four colour collections to own, so how about buying them all gradually through a marker share?
This way you collect all the markers AND have the case to store them in.

You'll find lots of uses for these dual tip markers, which feature a fine tip for details and writing and a brush tip for wider applications. Each marker is like getting two long-lasting markers in one! Use these markers to colour in your stamped images, apply direct to rubber stamps so that you can accurately colour an image in different colours. You can even use these as a regular pen so that you can colour co-ordinate your card with your handwritten message inside.

What's involved?
Four people are needed, and over the next four months, purchase one colour collection each month and by the end of the four months, you will have a complete set of Stampin' Write dual-tip markers in a horizontal storage case.

Cost
Each month, just spend £23 (collection from me) or £25 (posted to you) for one colour collection of 10 markers.

If you'd like to top up your order with the In Color Markers too, just a monthly spend of £26 will be needed and over the four months, you'll collect all five In Colors markers as well as the four colour collections.


Not only will you be able to collect the whole set with case, but you can spread your costs over the four months and be able to be virtual hostess for one of the months, gaining the storage case.

Furthermore, top up your order in the month you're hostess by £60 and receive exclusive Hostess Benefits of a Level 1 Stamp Set or 6x6 papers - In Color and £15 worth of free merchandise from either Catalogues (Mini Catalogue orders till the end of September).

Note:
This marker share can be started at any time, once I have four people... what are you waiting for!

For more details, email me on:

Enjoy your day,

Quilted Card - Birthday.

Hi all,

So, with Half Term upon us and more time to myself, I've been busy crafting :) Recently on SCS, I saw the tutorial for the Quilted Card and thought I'd have a go seeing as it's perfect for all those scraps that you have lying around and secondly my Mum's friend is a quilter and has a birthday this Thursday so perfect timing!

So, using Spring colours and some DSP, here is the quilted card below:

Quilted Card


Stamps: Occasional Quotes (Level 3 Hostess Set - P.14).

Today's Workshop - Spring Theme.

Hi all,

Had a fabulous day today seeing ladies who love to craft :) Thanks to Betty for allowing me to demonstrate at her craft club.

As a thank you for allowing me to come along, I made Betty a little gift - a box to hold some foiled chocolate eggs inside and an Easter card as her request for today's workshop was for a Spring theme. Below is the gift box I made, which is like the one made for my Christmas Class here, except I used spring-like colours and combined it with the Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Punch Bunch. The card that I also demoed for the club and gave away will have to wait to be revealed as this will be part of my April Cardmaking Class so sneak peeks will be shown in due course.

Here is the Hostess gift:

Scallop Circle Box - For You (Side View - Lid On)


Scallop Circle Box - For You (Side View - Lid Off)


Stamps: Punch Bunch (SAB 2011).
Cardstock: In Color: Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White. DSP: Sunny Garden.
Inkpad:
Daffodil Delight.
Accessories: Scallop Edge Border Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8 Circle Punch, 1-1/4 Circle Punch, Stampin' Write Marker - Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz, Sponge Dauber, Bone Folder, Window Sheet, Mini Glue Dots, Sticky Strip and 3D dimensionals.
Box Size: 3-5/8" x 2-1/2" x 2-1/2".

So, based on the request of Spring, I decided to use Greenhouse Garden stamp set for the Make & Take as it's a favourite of mine and thought the ladies could handle the stamp-a-ma-jig to do the two-step stamping technique.

Here are the cards the ladies made below, in a choice of either Melon Mambo or Pumpkin Pie:

Greenhouse Garden - Melon Mambo with Pretty In Pink


Greenhouse Garden - Pumpkin Pie with Daffodil Delight


Stamps: Greenhouse Garden (P.51) and Oval All (P.64).
Cardstock: Confetti White, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin Pie.
Inkpad:
Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight.
Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Large Oval Punch, Stamp-A-Ma-Jig, Bone Folder and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size: A6.

Stamp sets used today are as follows:

Greenhouse Garden (P.51):


Oval All (P.64):


Thanks for stopping by. Just six more days left of Sale-A-Bration so be quick with any last minute orders!

See you tomorrow with another recent card that I've made.

Bye for now,

Stampin' Up! Class - Punch Bunch

Afternoon all,

Hope you're enjoying the weekend and are here to see what my ladies made in today's class. We had a great time playing with two of the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets that you can earn for each £45 you spend before p&p. I love Punch Bunch, this was the first Sale-A-Bration stamp set I couldn't wait to get! It has an assortment of stamps for most occasions and it co-ordinates with a number of punches so it's handy when making any project as it cuts the time down of having to cut by hand. Did you notice that even the owl stamp will have a matching punch in the Mini Catalogue, due out in a couple of months time? How exciting is that!

So, here are the two cards the ladies made today, both using Punch Bunch stamp set with So Happy For You for one of the sentiments:

Punch Bunch - Suspension Baby Card


I originally took the idea of the card layout from Beth, and from here, created a suspension card. The punched images suspended in the top right hand corner are a babygro on one side and baby booties on the other side. As you turn the circles you'll see the two different images. Hope the pictures capture the effect.

Stamps: Punch Bunch (Sale-A-Bration 2011) and Bundle of Love.
Cardstock: Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo and Whisper White.
Inkpad:
Melon Mambo and Pretty In Pink. Versamark Stamp Pad.
Accessories: Scallop Trim Border Punch, 1-1/4 Circle Punch, 1-3/8 Circle Punch, Small Tag Punch, Tag Punch, 5/8" Satin Ribbon - Pretty In Pink, Sponge Dauber, Embossing Buddy, Stampin' Emboss - White, Heat Tool, Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Non SU:
Dental Floss.
Card Size: A6.

Punch Bunch - For You Card


Stamps: Punch Bunch and So Happy For You (Sale-A-Bration 2011).
Cardstock: In Color: Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White. DSP - In Color - Poppy Parade.
Inkpad:
In Color: Poppy Parade.
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, 1-3/8 Circle Punch, 1-1/4 Circle Punch, Modern Label Extra-Large Punch, In Color: 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon: Pear Pizzazz, Stampin' Marker Pen - In Color - Pear Pizzazz and Poppy Parade, Bone Folder, Paper Snips and 3D dimensionals.
Card Size:
A6.

Here are the two cards made in today's class side by side:


Hope you liked the cards. If you fancy placing an order with me to benefit from free stamp sets for a qualifying Sale-A-Bration order, please drop me an email.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Bye for now,
