Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration is here!

My first Sale-a-Bration as a demonstrator is here!

For those of you who don't know, from today until 31st March, for every £45 you spend you can receive one of the following gorgeous stamp sets or paper stacks absolutely free! Also, if you have a workshop that totals £300 or more, you also get a free set! I signed up as a demonstrator during Sale-a-Bration last year because you get to choose any stamp set from the catalogue too (can be up to £45 value!)

Here are the lovely stamp sets and papers that you can get your hands on for free!

This one is my absolute favourite - Sprinkled Expressions. The images look absolutely amazing in glitter!

This set is Elementary Elegance.  A beautiful set which co-ordinates with many other SU! sets, most notably Artistic Etchings.  Note that the inside of the main frame is tailor made for the Curly Label Punch (119851).

 This set is called Outlined Occasions and is perfect for any celebration you can think of.  It looks fab coloured in with blender pens where you can shade the lettering!

This one is called Fresh Vintage! You will notice that the square stamp has an outline - in the new mini catalogue there is a postage stamp punch to match!

There are even designer papers this year - these are called Everyday Enchantment and are just beautiful. The keen eyed amongst you will have noticed that they actually match the Fresh Vintage stamp set, so if you can stretch to £90 in sales they can both be yours!

Just contact me on 07877042498, or niki.ridge.nr@gmail.com if you would like to place an order or book a party.

Sail Away!

I always struggle with male cards, so when I saw that the girls at MSE had a challenge for a male card I thought I'd join in. I was so pleased when I remembered this great a la carte stamp from Stampin' Up- it's called Sail Away and perfect for the tricky male cards (and only costs £8.95!). I've used some retired designer paper on here - and one of my favourite Stampin' Up! products - linen thread!

Last chance for card class next week

I've got a couple of spaces left for my card class on Monday. Let me know if you'd like to book a space! Hop on to the 'Adult Classes' tab if you'd like to see what we'll be making.

One card - two different looks

I've really enjoyed playing with the Perfect Postage stamp set and matching punch from the Spring Mini catalogue - here are a couple of my creations!

Delicate Doilies Slider Card

I have completely CASEd this card from Debbie's amazing website http://www.got2stamp.com/. I really enjoyed making this and it was way easier than it looks!

Mocha Morning

As soon as I saw the beautiful Mocha Morning designer papers I knew I had to have them! They are so gorgeous and even have some flocked sheets that are so strokable!

I've made this little card wallet and matching cards using the papers-if you'd like to make them too then this is available as a class on Februart 6th so let me know if you'd like to come along.

Mini catalogue creations

Well, I've finally found some time to play with some of the goodies from the Stampin' Up! mini catalogue (let me know if you want a copy!) and I'd like to share a couple of really simple cards I made. The cards are using the Perfect Postage stamp set ( an amazing £8.95 for 4 stamps) and the matching postage stamp punch.

If you'd like to be able to have a go at one of these cards, why not book a party and I'll teach you and your friends to make it!
