Fresh Vintage Class

For this weeks class we used the Fresh Vintage stamp set with Everyday Enchantment DSP.

The first card again was inspired from the one shown in the Sale-a-bration brochure. It works so well, especially with the clear embossing on the butterfly.

Loving this next design so much. Simple but effective.

And another box with lid made with the Mini Milk Carton Big Shot Die. This die is absolutely brill and an exclusive to Stampin' Up!

Sale-a-bration runs until 31st March. With every £45 order you qualify for a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

We all love freebies now don't we?

Fresh Vintage and a bit of a sneak peak

On the inside pages of the Sale-a-bration brochure there's a beautiful example of how the Fresh Vintage stamp set and Everyday Enchantment papers can be used. We all like to re-create something we've seen, me included, so over the Christmas hols I had a go.

I've developed this further on the inside and it's actually turned into a prototype for one of the classes at the Stampin' Angels Retreat in May. I can't show you the inside although I'd love to but for those of you who are coming, it's a bit of a sneak peek and you're going to love it!

I'll be using different papers & Stamp Set for the Retreat class as Sale-a-bration ends on 31st March so if you like the above, get it while you can.

During Sale-a-bration choose one item FREE from the Sale-a-bration brochure for every £45 order placed.

Fresh Vintage '3 for 1'

I tend to get a little overwhelmed when we get a new catalogue with lots of new stamps & accessories. I LOVE IT ALL and WANT IT ALL but when I have it in my mitts I just don't know what to use first and I end up going back to my old faithful stamp sets that I know I can use over and over. So it takes me a little more time to mull over the new before my creative juices kick in and I can start using it.

I loved the Sale-a-bration set Fresh Vintage  the moment I saw it at Convention back in November, and even though I orderd it on pre-order in December it hadn't quite made a permanent spot on my craft desk. Until now that is....

I've referred to this as a '3 for 1' in the title because it's the same card but done 3 times by adding 1, 2 then  3 colours.

This first one is with just Pool Party - very monochromatic.

Out of the New 2011-2013 In Colours Island Indigo is one I've not used before. Not sure why, it's very much like 'Taken with Teal' which has now retired and I loved that, but now I've teamed it with Pool Party I really like it.

And the last card I added Lucky Limeade. I've coloured the stamp with Stampin' Write Markers to give that 2-colour effect on the image.

And finally here's a picture of my pretty little stand that I bought on Saturday. Isn't it cute?!

So that's me for today. I'm 'trying' to have a marathon clean and tidy of my craft room. Don't think I'll finish that today!

See ya soon!

Sale-a-bration 2012

Sale-a-bration has come a little later this year. For all Stampin' Up! addicts out there we all know how special this time of year is as it means FREEBIE TIME!

It all starts this Tuesday 24th January but will last a little longer until Saturday March 31st.

For those that are new to Sale-a-bration and wondering what the heck it's all about you're in for a surprise. During this period everyone placing an order of £45 will receive a FREE Sale-a-bration item. It's not just for Hostesses, although they will be rewarded grandly for hosting a workshop, this is for all customers whether you're placing an order at a workshop or single one off orders. Plus it's for every £45 spent so if you have a wishlist as long as your arm, have a birthday or simply feel like treating yourself and you spend £90 you get 2 items absolutely FREE! If you prefer to pace yourself why not spend £45 in each of the 3 months and everytime you can choose a Sale-a-bration item.

There are 4 stamp sets and a beautiful set of Designer Papers to choose from which are totally exlusive to Sale-a-bration.You can't buy them you can only earn them with a £45 order. When the offer is over you won't see them again so if you fall in love (like I have with the papers and one particular matching set 'Fresh Vintage') then starting making that wishlist.

Sale-a-bration starts

Tues 24th January - 31st March 2012

For now I can only show you things I've made using these products but the Sale-a-bration leaflet with ALL the FREE sets in will go live on Tuesday.
