Crunchie Crafts ........... Happy Days, # Stampin Up, #www.facebook.com/crunchiecrafts

Hi everyone.  I hope that you had a great weekend.

For those of you who follow me on Facebook, you will know that I had a great day yesterday just being with the family.

It reminded me that there are lots of those memories stored on my computer or my phone, and that it was about time I did something with them.

So I asked on my Facebook account earlier if any of you had any idea what I was making.  How many of you are friends with Crunchie Crafts on Facebook.  No, then please pop over and like the page, simply click the icon in the side bar.

Here's the picture.


Can you guess?

But before I reveal what I was making, can you spot all the lovely Stampin Up goodies that are being used.  I love being a demonstrator and being  able to get my products at discounted prices.  Its brilliant and there is always so much inspiration about that being creative is always possible.


So with that in mind I wanted to remind you about our SIGN AND SAVE offer.    This is an amazing way to become a demonstrator.  I'd love it if you joined and became a team member.  It's so much fun and the team are amazing.  Whats more you get great discount on all your crafting products.    Want to know more then go to my page

All the information about joining is there, and you can click the link to the joining form.  Its so easy and I can't wait to welcome you.

Anyway, where were we?

Oh now I remember, have  you guessed yet?  Don't you just love the papers.  They are of course " "Retro Fresh" from the Spring Catalogue.  Don't forget these will be retiring at the end of the month, so if you want them you best hurry.  When they've gone they've gone.

So what is it ......... ok, its actually a scrapbook page, but done inside the back of a canvas frame.  The picture was taken during our holiday in January and brings back such happy memories.

By using the back of the frame, the recessed area gave me the perfect place to start my project.


I cut and matted the inside of the frame and then covered the outer edges.  (I have to say the back is as neat as the front - although not as pretty!)



Don't you just love the lettering.  Unfortunately these Bigz dies are retiring at the end of the month, and they are selling out fast, so if you want your's you know what to do.  That's it head over to the online shop and place your order.  Really, once they've gone that's it.  I'd hate for you to miss out. 

There's even pretty diamante mickey mouse heads dotted about, I of course used our basic jewels to do these.  They're just so cute.


and these gorgeous flowers to finish the frame off.

I used various punches including the Chevron Punch, The Petit Petals, and two circle punches.  All of which are available in the current catalogue.  The flowers above were made using the New Spiral Flower Bigz die.  They are adorable and so easy to make with this die.

I hope you like the page, and I have inspired you to dig out some of those happy memories and give it a go.

Forty - is this the new 30? Celebrate Stampin Up Style ......

One of my good friends turned 40 this week.  So to help her celebrate I made her an extra special card and origami gift pouch.


The card is a screen card and I cut the bits out the bottom using my labels dies.


The butterflies are using the Bigz dies


And this is origami, inspired by my friends Elaine and Lizy.




I really enjoyed doing these and love the colour combination.  Have you got a special birthday to make a card for.  The screen card is super easy and very effective.  Why don't you have a go?

As always everything I used can be purchased from my shop


And don't forget about our amazing new Joining offer.  You can join for £50.  Thats amazing.  I look forward to welcoming you to my team.

We're saying good bye - Stampin UP style


Today is the day, don't delay,
Those items you wanted are going away,
The retiring list from Stamping Up!  is here,
Those stamps are selling fast,  it's clear,
So today's the day, oh don't delay
Purchase yours today before they've gone away.



Hi everyone.

Yes today is the day the we start to say goodbye to some of our favourites. You know those stamps and accessories in the annual catalogue that you've been hankering after but never got around to buying.  Well they could be on the retiring stamp list or the retiring accessory list.

So what does this mean?

It means that you have one last chance to get these stamps and accessories.  They've stopped production, there won't be another opportunity to get them.  And whats more some of the items have been discounted.  So there's also a few bargains to be had.

These are on a first come first served basis, and once they're gone, they're gone and thats it.

Last year, I had just joined Stampin Up and wasn't quick enough, and I missed out on lots and lots of bargains.  I really don't want my customers to do that.

So, how do you get these bargains and discounted items.  Well you go to the online shop.  Its very simple to use and is updated regularly.  So you'll always be able to see whats available.

So what are you waiting for ........... are you still sat there reading this?

Yes?

Go, hurry, run........... well let your fingers run over that keyboard, click the logo below go to the shop and get these great bargains.

 I would also like to thank all my customers for making my first year with Stampin UP the amazing one it has been.  To each and every customer I have met in person and those of you who shop online with me a very very big THANK YOU
