Sale-a-Bration Thank you .... "So Very Much"

Do you have the need for a quick, yet effective Thank You card?

Well, I used the Sale-a-Bration flyer for Inspiration and made a stack of these for my Customer Thank you Cards using the FREE Stamp Set, So Very Much, from the Sale-a-Bration offering for this year. 

When you find a large Thank You in such a beautiful script, why add much more? The simplicity of this card is what sings out. 

I'm not a mad lover of Peekaboo Peach, but for some reason, I love the freshness of it's colour in this card and I just adore these die cut leaves from Flourish Thinlits that peak out from behind the sentiment panel. 

Have you taken advantage of the current

Sale-a-Bration offer yet?

There is no catch ... simply spend £45 and choose something from the Sale-a-Bration offering for FREE.

Limited Time Bundle - Thoughtful Branches

Stampin' Up! have brought out this gorgeous and ever so versatile Stamp Set and Thinlit bundle that offers so many uses that you'd be crazy not to add this to your craft room collection.

These sentiments are just so useable and have a beautiful script font. The trees could take you through all four seasons and even include Christmas Pine trees.

It's a limited time bundle that's only available until the 31st August, so you'd better not hang around, but get your order in quickly. 

There are so many ideas on Pinterest on how else you could use this set, but this was a card that I made this week using it for my Customer Thank you cards. I just love Alliums, so couldn't resist but use the large Thinlit to produce this single flower head. 

I did have to smile when I discovered that the 1st Class Stamps that I purchased, colour coordinated with the card. Now that's what I call impressive coordination. 

Now, If you're the type of person to create such beautiful cards to sell, then you'll be interested to hear about a new Stamp Set called 'I Stamped This', that allows you to let everyone know that your projects are made by hand and with love. The Stampin' Up! Angel Policy allows you to use this on your projects. More about the policy can be found HERE. 

There are some lovely images and sentiments within this, covering many types of handmade crafts, making it suitable for many a crafter or baker. You can order this stamp set now and right up until 31st May 2017. 

Would you have believed that something so beautiful could be produced from such a word heavy Stamp Set? Aren't these just adorable?!

Well, I hope I've updated you sufficiently on what amazing things that Stampin' Up! have on offer for you this month. If you need clarification on anything, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Stampin' Chat Episode two Part one and another Competition

Make yourself a coffee, sit back and enjoy Episode Two (Part one), of this month's Stampin' Chat, when I, along with Paula Gorry and the Demonstrator panel, give you a little insight into the Day to Day aspects of being a Demonstrator.




If you'd like to take a closer look at the Bingo Game that I'm showing here, then you'll find an entire post about it HERE The No Bones About it Stamp Set is a current Stamp Set available through my online store for £23.

I have fun every day creating designs to share in my Monthly Craft Classes and at various events that I hold throughout the year, but I do thoroughly enjoy creating things for our little boy and things were I really can just create without restriction. 

Within this Video clip, I refer to the invitations that I enjoy making and I've been known to put my heart and soul into creating them on a fun theme, with a real twist.

For those of you who haven't followed my blog before, these were designed for Bertie's 4th Birthday party that had a theme of Room on the Broom. We took him down to London to see this performed at the Theatre, which was amazing and I'd thoroughly recommend. We decided to theme his party around it, giving the children the opportunity to dress up in a number of different outfits.

This was made from a Halloween set that was out last year, which was perfect for the cauldron and I chose to plat and die some trim to make the witches plat. 

The Bow Builder Punch had just been launched in the Autumn/Winter Seasonal Catalogue, so was the perfect addition to her hair.

The Dumper Truck party was also a hit with the kids and generated a lot of mess and laughter. We had a tray on the floor with a whole load of porridge oats in it for the kids to play with. Needless to say, they didn't stay completely in the floor tray … but hey … it was lots of fun.

If you like the idea of becoming a Demonstrator … be it to build a little business of your own, or to simply obtain discount on your own purchases, then be sure to get in contact. I'd be happy to chat further. 

I hope you enjoyed this episode and you'll be entering the competition.

Good luck
