Morning, Myself and my Stampin Up products have really been having a lot of fun this weekend.

In todays post:

• Caitlin's 11th
• Free Good Greetings
• Day 2 of my two weeks of birthday offers.

Caitlin's Birthday Party

On Saturday, I packed up 8 kits for 8 lovely young ladies who were attending Cailtin's 11th birthday party.  The weather was perfect and so we were able to stamp and punch in the garden in the sun.  Fantastic.

Caitlin chose Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke, Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise as her colours ........ I admit I was worried about this selection, but they looked amazing together.

The girls all decorated their party bags and created covered notebooks.  Caitlin's theme was owls.  

The girls hard at work here.

I had a great time, so thank you to Hayley for asking me to attend and thanks to the girls for making it such a great afternoon.

If you are interested in booking me for your party then please get in touch.

FREE GOOD GREETINGS

Early Espresso Birthday and 50% free

In today's post:

• Sandras Birthday, early espresso and crumb cake
• Short and Sweet - 50% extra free
• Big shot, big deals

Morning everyone.

Hows your week been?  Mines been lovely.  Although I am missing my kids, (They're away with family), the house is quiet, and too tidy.  But I have had lots of time to get crafty and make some special gifts for special people.

It was my friend Sandra's birthday so I needed to make her an extra special card.  I am loving crumb cake and early espresso together at the moment, and here's what I came up with.

I made the base for this by folding a piece of UK A4 in half to create an A5 card.

Very vanilla was stamped with Gorgeous Grunge

Matts and layers using the windows framelits were finished off with the lovely saying from the Feel Goods set.

Don't you love that heart border.  Created completely with our hearts boarder punch.  Yummy.

Beautiful ribbon deserves a beautiful bow.  Finished off with a gorgeous button.

Don't you love the colour of this button.  Yep, me too.  And it started life as a clear faceted button.  I coloured it with a blendabilitie pen in the darkest of the skin tones.  Gorgeous.

Off course the inside had to look pretty too.

 

And there was a matching tag for her present.

mmmm chocolates.

So I hear whats this short and sweet, and the 50% free.  Yes I did say 50% free.

Here you go:

So as you can see, if you love to craft and want to be able to get your products with 20% discount everytime, but would like to get 50% extra free to increase your stash, then now is the perfect time to join.  Spend £99 and get £150 of goods.  This is goods of your choice.  I think that is pretty amazing, and super super cool.  

Being a demonstrator is great fun.  You don't have to do all the things I do, you can join just to get stuff for yourself, you can join and buy for yourself and friends and family or you could turn this into the business you have always dreamed off.  

Want to know a bit more then pop over to my page here to find out more.

Just a little reminder to those of you that have expressed an interest in this.  The deal is only available until 31st August so don't miss out.  This is a great time to get that big shot, and if you've already got one, then you can increase your dies/stamps stash by getting great discount on these bundles.

Have a great day.

Do you believe ......................

Everyone once in a while you come across a stamp set that whittles its way into your affections.  The stamp I have used today is one of these such stamps.

I am a firm believer that if you want something bad enough, and that if you work hard enough for it, you will eventually get it, and this stamp just sums that up beautifully.

I have a great friend (Via FB) whose little girl Abi, has just taken her Grade 2 Ballet Exam.   I know from her mum the blood sweat and tears that went into the practice and more practice, right up until the day of the exam.

Abi looked gorgeous in her Mum's photos, and so I made her this card to wish her luck and to let her know that I was thinking of her.

The stamp says

"She believed she could and so she did."

This is of course from the Feel Goods set. Its so versatile. I will admit I was delighted to see it in the new catalogue, I would have been heartbroken to have had to part with it.

 Heres the front/inside view

From the very front

 and with the matching envelope

Isn't it pretty.  I have combined Crisp Canteloupe, with white card stock for the card, and have made the layers stand out by distress inking the edges.  The envelope is Baked Brown Sugar, and was handmade to match the card using the Envelope Punch Board.  The flowers are all crisp cantaloupe and have been stamped using the Flower Shop set and punched out using the pansy punch.  The little green leaves are using the petit petals punch and the long leaves on the card are from the bird punch.  I finished it off with a few glimmer gold hearts.

Talking of gold, and silver there are some amazing offers on this week in our weekly deals.

You can get these by clicking the Shop with me button below and then going to weekly deals. 

Just a quick reminder about my new Blendabilities Club. 

 All the details can be found here.

Don't miss out its a great opportunity to collect all the pens and get freebies along the way.  

Have a great day.  I hope wherever you are the sun is shining.
