A Whole Box of Beautiful Cards to Share What You Love

I was delighted to go to a drinks party on Sunday, hosted by some local friends. The weather was incredibly kind on us all, but the event would have been amazing under any conditions.
A Whole Box of Beautiful Cards to Share What You Love
I was brought up to always write a Thank You note for such occasions, and on this particular occasion I wanted to do something a little special, so not only have I made a Thank You card, but I have made a whole pack of cards for the hostess to use in the future. What better papers to use than the Share What You Love Suite? I used one of our lovely Acetate Boxes for thee, having first run it through my Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder. I placed it between the two layers of acetate so it embossed just one side, perfectly!
The cards are so easy to make, just one layer of the Designer Series Paper, a further strip of paper, a Pearlised Doily, some stamping and some Artisan Pearls and you are done. Now that was easy, but oh so effective!! What to have a go? Then now is the time to grab the Gotta Have it All Bundle and save over £16 AND get the EXCLUSIVE Statement of my Heart Stamp (worth a further £11). OR put the Bundle in a Starter Kit and get it all, plus a further £11.25 of products of your choice all for JUST £99.00 with NO Delivery Charges to pay!!!!! Go on, you know you want to.
Take a look at all the Bundles by clicking on the image above to visit my Current Offers Page.
For every £25 you spend in May AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Color Caddy and all four of the Core Color Family Ink Pads (as shown in the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue) worth in excess of £200! If you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw. Please note that this is a gift from me, and is non-returnable. The usual Customer Gifts will not be effected by the Prize Draw, so if you use the Hostess Code you will get a share of the Rewards, as usual. EVERYONE who shops with me will receive a handmade card and gift in the middle of the following month, regardless of how much you spend.

If your order is over £25 (plus P&P), please use the Hostess Code:

TGDNMHHQ
To share in the Hostess Rewards for this month AND become a VIP. If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don't use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don't worry, you will still become a VIP Reward Member.

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue and great value at just £99 for your choice of £130 of products (with no additional P&P).

The Embellishment kit that is FREE with the Bundle has some really cute items in it, and they are perfect if you want to put a quick, but really cute card together.

Just Getting Started Bundle and WE HAVE A WINNER!

Are you loving the Share What You Love Early Release Bundles? Are you worried about which one to get? Do yo want to see what you can do with each of them? Well over the next couple of weeks I will be helping you make that decision by showing you some projects with each.
Just Getting Started Bundle
Today I thought I would CASE the sample shown in the flyer so you can see just how easy it is to put together. I have cut a mat for the stamping, which I don't think they did in the sample, but I do like to do it that way, and the Very Vanilla card is in the Bundle, so why not.
The key to this card is to accept that as you build up the stamped layers the middle of your card is going to start to look very messy, but that is fine because we are going to cover it all up. You will see in the video that I did not ink up the full length of the stems of the cluster of flowers, this helps to restrict the amount of mess in the middle, so just a word to the wise on that one.
The sentiment is stamped on a scrap of Very Vanilla and then popped up on Dimensionals to cover up the mess in the middle of the card. I also stamped on the envelopes, just because you can!

Did I mention that we have a winner for last month's Prize Drawer? The lucky winner of the Many Marvellous Markers is Waltraud. Congratulations, the markers are already in the post to you, so you should get them very soon.

Would you like to win a prize this month? Well you can.

For every £25 you spend in May AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Color Caddy and all four of the Core Color Family Ink Pads (as shown in the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue) worth in excess of £200! If you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw.

Team Challenge Time and its another sketch - YAY

You should know by now that I really enjoy a sketch challenge, so when our team were given this challenge, I went for it.
Animal Outing Stampin Up Sketch Challenge
This is my finished card, and it uses my absolute favourite stamp set of the moment, Animal Outing. This was a free set I was given when I attended OnStage about a month ago along with about 500 other Stampin' Up Demonstrators. The words came from Sunshine Sayings, a great old favourite with lots of individual words that you cam put together for the perfect sentiment.
This is the sketch we were issued. It came with some fairly detailed instructions, which suggested that the floral element should be a floral. Right, so that didn't happen in my version, but for me that is the whole point of a sketch; look at it and use it to inspire the project, rather than follow it strictly.
Animal Outing Stampin Up Sketch Challenge
In the close up above, you will see more of the details of the main element. The Animal Outing set does come with dies, but they are not available, even for Demonstrators, until June, so I just fussy cut the two pieces out, and they are super easy to cut. I stamped both characters in Classic Ink and used the fact that the colour would 'move' with the blender pen to my advantage when I came to colouring the pieces in.
I am so pleased with how the card came together and how cute it is. In the video, above, you will be able to see exactly how I put the final card together, it is super easy and a really fun project. The finishing touches were the addition of the Glitter Flakes from the Spring Summer Catalogue, which is on the retirement list, so grap it NOW.
For every £25 you spend in May AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Color Caddy and all four of the Core Color Family Ink Pads (as shown in the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue) worth in excess of £200! If you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw.

True Gentleman Birthday Card

Yesterday I showed you the box I made for the book my husband and I are giving a friend of ours, whose birthday is today. Now I have the matching card to go with this.
True Gentleman Birthday Card
This is a very straightforward card, but with the benefit of hindsight, I chose the wrong patterned paper for it - the rigt suite, just the wrong pattern. Having decided to add a detailed die cut, I would have been better with one of the plainer patterns, but I had already got in my mind that I was going to use the same pattern I used for the box......
I added multi-purpose adhesive sheet to the back of the Champagne Foil (which matches this suite so well), so adding the die cuts was a dream, even for the detailed 'Happy Birthday', just remember that wieht the added thickness you may not cut all the way through to the back of the adhesive sheet, but you will still cut through the foil easily, so that is no problem. Oh, and did you spot it is our friend's 60th?

Quick, easy, and with the right pattern of paper, really effective!! Oh, and, the Large Numbers Dies are retiring, so please, if you want these, get them NOW
DON'T FORGET
For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw.

Rhino Poloroid Retiring Snap Shot

Today I am casing myself with one of my favourite card designs - the Poloroid shot. I love this idea when there is an image that could have been taken as a photo, it is just such fun!
Animal Outing Delightful Daisy Card
This layout also shows off some of the retiring Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, which was one of the first packs I bought from the 2017-18 Annual Catalogue. The designs I have selected for this are 'B' sides and set off the main feature perfectly.
I was lucky enough to get the stamp set when I attended OnStage earlier this month, and what a month. Is it really less than a month since OnStage, it is hard to believe, but it is only about 3 weeks ago. I love this stamp set and can see so many fun projects already, and that is without having access to the matching dies and DSP. Trust me, the DSP is really cute, there are even more little animals in it, and they are all so well drawn, perfect fo colouring either with Blends or Markers.
For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw.

Share What You Love Suite - Early release!!!

Are you getting excited to see all the goodies coming in the new Annual Catalogue? I know I was excited to see everything when I went to OnStage a couple of weeks ago, and I was able to order some of it immediately, so you must be super excited!

Well, you could get your hands on some of the new items in just a few days (well actually you could get them now, but more of that in a bit). Stampin' Up! are releasing the very special Share What You Love Suite early, starting on 1st May. To help show you what is included in that Suite and just how versatile it is, I will be bringing you a few projects using some of the products over the next couple of weeks. This is the first:
The two cards are the same fold, but the closures and detailing are quite different; this is definitely one you will want to watch the video.

The Suite is available in 3 Bundles and they each include some FREE products, which is just wonderful. They could all be added to a Starter Kit (in fact they could be added to a Starter Kit NOW and then you would be able to get your hands on even more NEW product early with the Demo only Pre-order starting on 2nd May!!!). If you were to add the largest bundle to the Starter Kit, because of all the free products in the bundle, you could get over £150 of product for just £99 including free P&P!!! The details of the Bundles are here (this will open a pdf in a new window):
The video showing how to make the card and how I measure the pieces is just below. I am not icluding all the dimensions on this post as the video explains that I don't always have actual measurements, which allows a bit more flexibility in design. I warn you that it is one of my longer videos, but does include lots of additional information.


For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw. Please note that this is a gift from me, and is non-returnable. The usual Customer Gifts will not be effected by the Prize Draw, so if you use the Hostess Code you will get a share of the Rewards, as usual. EVERYONE who shops with me will receive a handmade card and gift in the middle of the following month, regardless of how much you spend. 

If your order is over £25 (plus P&P), please use the Hostess Code:

Dimensions
Standard A6 Cardbase cut long and thin. Score 4" (10cm) from one end and 2-1/4" (6cm) from the other to form the folds.
The mat for the inside of the card is cut at 5-1/4 x 4-1/8" (13.5 x 10.5cm)

Bird Banter Embossed Nest CASE Card

Not everyone that goes to the twice yearly OnStage Demo Event takes part in Swapping, which I find amazing. Why would you not want to see all the fantastic projects that your fellow Demonstrators come up with?
Bird Banter Embossed Nest Card
When I swapped with Team Mate Gilly Hunt, she gave me a choice of which one of her swaps to take. I didn't hesitate, I immediately chose the Card Front with the Embossing Paste detail. It is so cute. If you click on Gilly's you wilsee her post about both of her swaps; I bet you agree with me that I got the best version!
My CASE card is a little larger and uses retiring colours, but I think it works just as well as her original idea. I love her idea for this card, I don't use our Embossing Pastes nearly enough, but I think she has encouraged me to get them out more often.
Bird Banter Embossed Nest Card
Did you spot that my version is popped up with Dimensionals? I wanted there to be a little more depth in the card, although it does mean that as I also used Dimensionals for the sentiment, it will need a Large Letter stamp. I also stamped the inside of the card with the balloon from the same stamp set.

For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw.

Wishing You a Lovely Day and Wishing you Goodbye

Today I am bringing you another in my mini series waving goodbye to some of the retiring products.

It seems fitting that I should use the very first stamp set I got from the Spring Summer Catalogue in this series. It is the Lovely Wishes Stamp Set that I showcased at OnStage in November. I lived with it for about 2 months leading up to the event, and have hardly inked it up since, so there is a quick card using it.
Lovely Wishes on Glossy White Card
I have used Glossy White Card for the stamping layer and Pink Pirouette and Wild Wasabi Ink, although with some Gold Embossing. I love the soft feel you get using paler colours on the Glossy White Card, you just have to be a little careful not to slip as you stamp.
I added a band and bow of narrow Gold Ribbon to tie in with the gold embossing. My only concern with all of this is whether any of the products I used will still be in stock when you see the video. Everything is selling really quickly, so don't hang around, jump over to my online store and stock up on everything you loe while it is still in stock. To tempt you a little, I have a Prize Draw this month.

For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw. Please note that this is a gift from me, and is non-returnable. The usual Customer Gifts will not be effected by the Prize Draw, so if you use the Hostess Code you will get a share of the Rewards, as usual.

Friends Fur-ever - Time for a Giveaway!

I have even more cute stuff for you today, can you take it!! I'm sure you can, they are cute, with a twist.
We Must Celebrate Friends Fur-ever
 So what's the twist? Well by using darker colours, these cards would work for everyone, adults and children, ladies and gents. And they are so easy to make, which after a full on weekend of meeting fellow Demonstrators and hearing all about what is coming in the next few months, is something I need.
We Must Celebrate Friends Fur-ever
I think the We Must Celebrate stamp set is perfect for so many occasions. What about a card to thank your Teacher, or your pupils? The person who does your hair, waits on your table; I can think of so many people this would be good for. Let me know who you think would like a card using this set.
But you want to know about the Giveway don't you? Well here goes:


For every £25 you spend in April AND use the Hostess Code, you will be entered into a draw to win the Many Marvellous Markers, so if you place orders of £50, you will get 2 entries, £75, you will get 3 entries etc. BUT if you place a single order of over £150 and opt to be your own Hostess (which means you pick how to spend your Rewards) you will only get ONE entry into the draw. Please note that this is a gift from me, and is non-returnable.

Welcome Little One - Customer Card

I heard some great news a week ago (as you read this); one of my customers has given birth to their second child, and I am thrilled.

As soon as I heard the news I grabbed my Little One stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set, which as I have no children and am very happy to give them back when they start to cry, is a bit of a surprise. But I think it is so cute, ideal for quick cards and can be coloured to make it perfect for either a boy or a girl (as in this case).
Little One Bundle of Love New Baby Card
Team it with the Bundle of Love Designer Series Paper for a bit of bling without going too over the top. Other than the Tuxedo Black for the main images, I did not use any ink pads for this project; both the stamping and the colouring were done with the 2017-2019 In Color Stampin' Write Markers, which have the same ink in them as we use on the pads.
I fussy cut the tippee and lifted it up with some dimensionals so that would become the focal point on the card. Before sticking it in place I added some Powder Pink stars around where the top of the tippee would be, which I think finished the front of the card off perfectly. A sentiment and the floral bough on the inside of the card and it was done. And I love it.
