Last Chance for Sale-A-Bration 2016!


Hi again!  Well today is the last day to get your free Sale-A-Bration goodies!  For every £45 you spend (excluding p&p) you can choose a free product from this years Sale-A-Bration range of stamps, papers, vellum and other goodies.

The main stamp set I have used for this card is the What I Love set, available as a freebie until the end of today.  I also used the Rose Wonder set from the Spring/Summer catalogue as I wanted to make a birthday card rather than a thank you card (thank you sentiments are included in the What I Love set).

And yes, it had to be pink!  I hope you have enjoyed shopping for craft goodness during this years Sale-A-Bration promotion, and thank you to everyone who has placed an order through my online shop.

You can still order products from the Spring/Summer 2016 and the current Annual Catalogue until the end of May - and remember that those gorgeous 2014-16 In Colours will be retiring then.  I know I need to stock up on some Blackberry Bliss and some Lost Lagoon cardstock as they are my favourites!

I am adding this card to the following:
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes 29/03/16 - 04/04/16
Craft Your Passion Challenges - #305 Anything Goes 

Stampin' Up! materials used:
Stamp sets - What I Love, Rose Wonder
Ink - Melon Mambo, Old Olive
Card - Whisper White notecard & envelopes

Picture Perfect Birthday Card


Hi! Today I'd like to share a card I made using 3 different stamp sets, including the gorgeous Picture Perfect set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue 2016 which will only be available until the end of May.  All items used are available to purchase here.

I stamped the flower and leaves onto some scrap card, using the stamp off / second generation inking technique for the first two layers of the images.  I cut these out leaving a small white border around them.  I placed them onto the card to give me an idea of where to stamp the sentiment and Gorgeous Grunge lines.

Once all the stamping was done, I added the flowers and leaves with some dimensionals, and glued on some gold sequins for a finishing touch.  Sequins have become a recent favourite of mine! 

I am adding this card to the following:
Just Keep on Creating - Anything Goes March 2016 
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes 22/03 
A Bit More Time to Craft - #16 Anything Goes  

Stampin' Up! Materials Used:
Stamp sets - Picture Perfect, Crazy About You, Gorgeous Grunge
Inks - Melon Mambo, Soft Suede, Old Olive
Cardstock - Whisper White A4 thick cardstock
Embellishments - metallic sequin assortment 
Other - dimensionals, fine tip glue pen
