Last chance

So, it’s the last day of this Sale-a-bration, it will be back for another 2 months later in the year with lots of new free products.

These are the last few cards I’ve played with.

I’ve used the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper which co-ordinates with our Strawberry Builder Pumch - I love the little flowers - and the Corner Bouquet (with Oh So Ombré paper) and Darling Donkeys stamp sets.

Berry Blessings

We are just about to start the last week of Sale-a-Bration and I’ve made a couple of cards with the Berry Blessings stamp set and Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper.

These are both free at the moment with a £45 purchase and co-ordinate with Sweet Strawberry bundle in the Spring Catalogue which contains a stamp set and punch.


  
The free 12x12” paper has these gorgeous berry images one side and plain patterns on the other, I’ve also used the Lovely Labels pick-a-punch and Banner Triple punch on either end of these strips.


This card shows off the reverse side of the papers.  I’ve also used the Stitched with Whimsy dies on this card, they just take the edge off a plain piece of card.

Sale-a-brate with Darling Donkeys

My lovely customer Sue asked me about the ‘splats’ in some cards she had seen so I took it upon myself to investigate and loved what I found.

This fab card is a CASE from honeybeestampinghive.com, the link to the post is here: http://www.honeybeesstampinghive.com/2020/12/darling-donkeys-so-ombre-cards-with.html

It uses the Darling Donkey stamps & Oh So Ombre papers from Sale-a-bration.

The super background that started the quest for this card is made from 2 stamps from the Painted Poppies stamp set.  Isn’t it great? So glad I have that set already 🤣


The donkey stamp set or papers are currently free with every £45 spend.

Guest Stamper Week 5

For my last week I’ve used the Stamparatus to stamp a wreath that I’ve teamed with the co-ordinating Pierced Bloom dies and some products from the Hydrangea Hill Suite (including the lovely Mercury Glass Designer Acetate which is super shiny in real life) and put in an 8x8” frame.


Stampin’ Up! also gives us inspiration each month with project examples from a featured bundle, this month it is the In Bloom Bundle which I’ve been using so I’ve followed their ideas and made another card from the catalogue which is also a great ideas book (I can share the recipes with you too if you wish to re-create the cards).





This is my last feature week but there are more projects I want to try so I’ll keep you updated.

Guest Stamper Week 4

A bit late adding these, busy with work and making my week 5 samples!

So, for this week I made a Christmas card as I wanted to take on the challenge of showing how versatile this set is.

I’ve teamed it with Snow Front to add extra seasonal features!

Then I used all the little stamps to make 2 cards, one more feminine, one with more masculine colours.  I had fun playing with the stamps and colours for these.


Finally for this week I’ve used emboss resist with our new gorgeous blending brushes.
I’ve used white embossing powder (I need to try with clear too really) and again have tried more masculine/feminine images and colours.

I hope these make you want to try the stamp set or think about some you already have and how you can use them differently.

Free products!

 I’ve made this card using free products from Sale-a-Bration.

The paper is one of the designs in the Flower and Field Designer Series Paper 12 x 12” pack you can get for free at the moment with a £45 spend.

There are 2 each of 6 double-sided designs in the pack.

The sentiment is also for a free stamp set - Heal Your Heart and ideal to send to someone at the moment to cheer their day.

Guest Stamper Week 3

For week 3 I have moved on to an ‘avid stamper’, someone who has lots of products including a die-cut machine and might make some more advanced projects.

I’ve used some of the Pierced Blooms dies on these cards as they co-ordinate with the set but still want to highlight the stamp set.

I’ve made a split card, an A5 card, a DL card (showing the stamps in a different way & highlighting some of the dies) and I’ve used the Stamparatus for a sunburst style wreath.
