A touch of Summer on a snowy day!

It is almost time for Sale-A-Bration!! The biggest offer of the year starts tomorrow!

If you haven’t heard of sale-a-bration (SAB) it is a Stampin’ Up promotion where Customers, Hostesses and new Recruits benefit from free products!

I will be back tomorrow with more details but in the meantime I have some cards made with the Summer Solstice  stamp set to share with you. 

 

These designs came from our team training event last year.  The leaf has been used as the background and main image on the card.  The sentiment is one of four from the Perfectly Penned set.

I love how versatile a set of 5 stamps can be in creating so many different styles.  This bold design is quick, easy and so effective!

 The single floral image is practical to cut out and looks 

stunning stamped in subtle colours.

I am making the most of a day off and the snowy weather by keeping warm in the craft room!  I will be back tomorrow with those Sale-a-Bration details!

New Products

Have you had a chance to look at the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue yet?  Fabulous isn't it!!  205 pages packed full of gorgeous new products.  Today I am going to share two of the new stamp sets.  

The first is Fabulous Florets which is a collection of six stamps available in clear (£17.95) and wood mount (£21.95)

The second is my new favourite sentiment set, Perfectly Penned.  Four gorgeous sentiments which are only £11.95 in clear mount or £14.95 in wood.

The cards below incorporate both sets and show how versatile they can be even when using the same colour combination.  

On the first design the centre image has been stamped and left uncoloured for a clean bold look.

 

The second card shows a more subtle effect you can create when stamping the image in StazOn and then colouring in with a blender pen.

A big thank you to my wonderful friend Maria Mitchell for inspiring the team to recreate these wonderful ideas.
