Team Birthday!

Today I am sharing a card I made for my lovely team mate Maria’s birthday. It uses my favourite colour combo, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake & Baja Breeze. The top of the card has been decorated using the Stampin’ Up! Color Spritzer Tool and Crumb Cake Maker Pen. The designer paper used on the bottom of the card is from the retiring Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper. Don’t forget this gorgeous paper is only available to order until 30th September.

I hope you had a lovely birthday Maria and I can’t wait until we next meet up!

Happy Birthday!

Just a quick post today to say a big Happy Birthday to Val who is one of my lovely customers.  This is the card I made for her using the Baby Blossoms stamp set which I also used to decorate inside the card.

This set didn't make it into our the catalogue so will only be avialable until 30th September.

Hope you had a lovely day Val

FREE Idea Book and Catalogue + No P&P to Pay!

As time is running out to order some of our much loved products I thought I would share a few projects using retiring items from the current catalogue.

The first uses the retiring stamp set Hello Again which is still available to order for £10.95.  The flowers were stamped and then decorated with designer buttons and Rhinestones.  The vase was made using the Ornament Punch which was trimmed and embossed using the Elegant Bouquet folder.

The second is a male birthday card which uses the retiring Hodgepodge Silver Hardware.  This is a gorgeous set of assorted holders and brads which look amazing on cards, scrapbook pages and gift boxes.

In addition to the discounted offers from Stampin' Up! I am offering all my customers FREE postage and packaging and a FREE 2011-2012 Idea Book and Catalogue (worth £5.95 rrp) with all orders of £30 or more.  This is a special offer from me and is available of all orders placed before 17:00 on 30th September.

Creative Day at Tower Ramparts

Wow what an amazing time we had at Tower Ramparts yesterday!!  We have done a few of these events now but this was the biggest and best by far!  Not only did we have our usual children’s event but also mini craft classes for adults AND a Creative Fayre in the centre.

The adults make and take session went down so well.  A big hello to all the lovely people who came in to create with us and thank you for all the lovely comments on our display.

Nina did a great job showing the children how to make a treat pouch which they stamped and decorated.

 The children were so proud of what they made and the free sweets went down well too!

The Creative Fayre had stalls selling a range of items including yummy cupcakes, lovely handmade soaps and pretty embroidered items.  We also had a Stampin' Up! stall run by the lovely Chrissie and Tina selling handmade gifts and cards.

The next Creative event and Fayre will be in Saturday 29th October.  Hope to see you there!
