February Craft Box You're Inspiring Easter Card

Quick, easy and stylish! What more could you want in a card?

Do you know, I almost forgot I had included the Delicate Doilies in the February Craft Box! They are so pretty and the perfect way to take a simple card up a notch.

Just like yesterday, I have used both Watercolour Pencils and Blends for the stamped element of these cards, just so you can see the difference (not that there is much difference). The key to using both of these is to use the right ink and to make sure that it is properly dry before you go to do any colouring.

I love the simple background to these cards, it is really easy, in fact you can't go wrong with it, just some simple tone on tone stamping.

I hope today's project brings some sunshine to your day. Remember that if you are in the UK and want to reserve your February Craft Box, just drop me an email. If you want any Stampin' Up! products, I would be most appreciative if you shopped with me. I am hoping to earn the Incentive Trip this year, but have a long way to go. Every order you place with me gets me a little closer to a Greek Island Cruise.

Remember that until 31st March, you will get FREE items for every £45 order (if you spend £90 you can either choose 2 Items, or 1 of the new Level 2 Items!!!).

February Craft Box Chocolate Box

The February Craft Box is already proving popular. Today I have a little Box for you that is perfect for presenting small bars of Chocolate in an elegant way.

Firstly though, I must apologise for the hiatus that meant I did not post yesterday. I have managed to pick up one of the many flu viruses that is doing the rounds in the UK at the moment and, although I shot the video for this and the next two projects before I succumbed, I did not manage to write the posts and do the other work that is require to bring these to you.

The box uses items from my February Craft Box, plus one of the optional stamp sets, You're Inspiring, to make this a perfect gift for Mother's Day. I have used one of the mini punches from the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack to make an interesting way of attaching the ribbon around the box. I love looking at different ways to use tools, and this little punch is perfect for all kinds of uses, not just as a 'melon slice'.

I coloured the daffodils with Blends in the original and Watercolour Pencils in the video version, so used the appropriate ink for each; Memento Tuxedo Black for Blends and Archival Basic Black for the Watercolour Pencils. Both inks need to be fully dry before you colour to avoid any bleeding.

Remember that until 31st March, you will get FREE items for every £45 order (if you spend £90 you can either choose 2 Items, or 1 of the new Level 2 Items!!!).

All the basic items I have used are in my February Craft Box, or are an optional extra. You can find full details of this box on my Craft Kit Page. To reserve your, just email me at liz.yuille@artlover.com before 7th February 2018.

Get the very best from Sale-a-Bration with Beautiful Peacock

Do you want to know how to get the best from Sale-a-Bration? If so you are in the right place. I am focusing many of my projects on exactly this over the next few months.

I am loving how many ways you can use the Beautiful Peacock stamp set and this time I have combined it with another favourite, Brushos. Watercolour paper and white embossing powder provide the perfect canvas to then show off the amazing firework display that Brushos give.

For full details of all the amazing offers available until the end of March take a look at my Current Offers Page; trust me it will be worth a visit.

The video will show you all you need to know in order to try the Emboss Resist Technique with your Brushos. It really is such fun, I can't get enough of it.

Remember that until 31st March, you will get FREE items for every £45 order (if you spend £90 you can either choose 2 Items, or 1 of the new Level 2 Items!!!).

Get the most from Sale-a-Bration - Beautiful Peacock

Sale-a-Bration is the best time of the Stampin' Up! year, let me show you how.

There are three main offers, Shop, Join and Host, today I am concentrating on the 'Shop' element of the three. So what you need to know is that you can get FREE items with a very small qualifying order. For every £45 you spend (before P&P) you can pick an item from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue; and there are lots of things to pick from. The only thing to be aware of this year is that there are two levels of FREE items. There is lots of information in the Current Offers Page.

Two of the items in the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue are available if your order is £90 or over, which means you have so much more choice.

I am concentrating on the Beautiful Peacock Stamp set for the next few projects as it just called to me in so many ways.

Today is a really simple 3x3 card using the little envelopes that have carried over from the Autumn Winter Catalogue (check out the Carried over list in my online store for all of the details). They are just so cute! Take a look at the video for all the details.
