Coming Soon........

STAMPERS 6 CLUB
 

Do you have an ever growing wish list of Stampin' Up! products?

Would you like to start ticking things off the list a bit at a time?

Would you like to receive the Hostess Benefits without having to have a Stampin' Up! Party in your home?

Then my Stampers 6 Club is for you!

Here's how it works:

• I need six people to join in this Stampers 6 Club.
• Each member will commit to spending £25 per month for six months. (If you live locally to me then there will be no postage fee, you can either collect, or I can deliver - please check with me).
• During the six months, each of you will take a turn at being the 'virtual hostess' (each member’s month will be randomly selected).  When it's your turn to be hostess you get to choose at least £25 of goodies from whichever catalogues are current - you can also collect additional orders from friends and family to increase your hostess benefit value.
• You will receive a FREE copy of the NEW 2012/2013 catalogue and any seasonal catalogues that come out whilst you are a member of the club.
• I will email you on the 1st of the month to remind you to make your choices and I will place the orders on the 10th of the month.

Extras

• Every month each member will receive a project pack with their order.  Inside will be everything you need to make a beautiful card or 3D project, including instructions 

• Each month you will recieve a voucher to attend a card class for FREE.  You can use these vouchers to book onto a class when ever suits you best - the vouchers will be valid until end September 2013

The next club will be starting October 2012 with the release of the NEW 2012/2013 catalogue

I have 2 spaces remaining, so contact me now to sign up!

Summer Mini Blog Hop

I cannot believe how time has flown.  No sooner has Sale-a-bration ended, and the Spring Mini has also come to a close!!!

However, that does make way for the new Summer Mini Catalogue…………  so many wonderful new products to play with :o)

You may have landed on my blog post by way of Sharon – I hoped you loved what she had to share.

My post focuses on the Bright Blossoms stamp set, and I have four cards to show you:

The first is a simple card, but very bright and bold.  I cased this layout from the very talented Teri Pocock.

Sadly I took most of these photos last night, so the pictures aren’t the best due to rubbish lighting!!!

I used Concord Crush and Lucky Limeade as the colour scheme, adding in some striped DSP, layering the top and bottom with a strip of Lucky Limeade card punched with the Dotty Scallop Ribbon Border Punch (oh what a mouthful!)  The sentiment is from the Hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes.

Next I have a card that teams Island Indigo with Pumpkin Pie.  They work surprisingly well together.  I have used the stem image from Sweetheart stamp set.  The most solid flower image from Mixed Bunch is stamped in Island Indigo to line up with the stem, and then layered over the top is a Whisper White flower punched with the new Blossom Punch.  The little tulip image from Bright Blossoms fits perfectly inside each petal. 

I’ve used one of the new Edgelit Dies to shape one side of the card (again, apologies for the terrible piccy).  I’ve also stamped one of the flower head images over the left side of the card base to give a tone on tone effect.  The Pumpkin pie button just finishes things off nicely.

With this next card I went for a slightly retro feel.  I teamed Melon Mambo with old Olive and Basic Gray.  I used marked to ink the stamps and then punched parts of the images out with the 1 1/4” and 1” circle punches.

The sentiment of from Curly Cute.  I inked it with Versamark and then added Melon Mambo Embossing Powder which really makes it pop off the Basic Gray card.  The sentiment panel has been edged with Melon Mambo strip, again punched with the Dotty Scallop Ribbon Border Punch.

For the last card I went with a slightly Vintage theme.  I used a favourite colour combination of mine – Crumb Cake, Bravo Burgundy and Pink Pirouette.  I also added in some Confetti Cream.  I used the Distressing Tool in the Cutter Kit to rough up all of the edges, the daubed Bravo Burgundy ink around the edges of the Confetti Cream pieces. 

I embossed the Pink Pirouette card with the Oval Designer Frame image, then used one of the new Framelit Dies the cut around the frame.  The flower image was inked with markers and then punched with the Extra-Large Oval.  The sentiment is again from Curly Cute, and I added some Chantilly Crochet Trim in a ruffled manner across the bottom of the card.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing one stamp set used four different ways.  It’s a really bargain, only £11.95 in clear mount for 8 stamps, and yet so versatile!!!!  It’s one of many wonderful new products.

If you’d like to see them all, then click on the picture of the Summer Mini catalogue on my side bar to view it online, or contact me if you’d like a hands on copy posted to you.  Even better – come to my open house event this Saturday between 10am and 1pm and see the products, loads more samples and make a card to take home as well.  Full details are on my EVENTS page.

Now it’s time for you to hop along and see what Anthea has in store for you.

Thanks for stopping by – please do leave a comment and let me know what you think :o)

Up, Up and Away……..

Hello and a very Happy Easter Sunday to you all.

I have been having a bit of a crafty weekend, preparing for my upcoming classes and playing with my pre-order products for the upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue released 1st May..........  How cool is it that we get two mini catalogues from Stampin' Up! this year!!!

Well I decided to have a play with the sketch over at Stamping 411 because when I saw it, my mind immediately went to a new stamp set and the card formed in my head in a matter of minutes.  I had to scribble it down on a piece of paper before forgetting all of the elements.

Now I don't normally post sneak peeks this early, if at all.  I'm usually not that organised, but here we are.

This is the sketch:

And this is my interpretation:

I am in love with this set and have already made several cards using it.  I hope to make a few more today.

I turned the sketch into a standard A5 card size rather than square.  I hope you like it :o)
