Moonlight ...........

Stampin Up! White Christmas

Morning everyone

Is not just for Christmas.

As you guys know I am loving this set and have been really enjoying playing with it.  Over the years I have taken a few moonlit walks in the snow and the trees take on a kind of ghostly appearance set against the snow and I have always wanted to recreate that.

So yesterday I got out my sponges, ink pads and stamps and set to work.

Here's the result.

Ingredients Used:

Stampin UP Whisper white cardstock

Stampin Up Night of Navy Ink

Stampin UP Pool Party Ink

Stampin Up Soft Sky Ink

Stampin UP Smoky Slate

Stayzon Tuxedo Black Ink

Stampin Up White Christmas Stamp Set (Trees)

Stampin Up Confetti Stars Punch 

Stampin UP Silver Glimmer Paper

All of these ingredients can be found in my shop .... so hop over now and get started.  I would love to see your creations.

STAMPIN UP WEEKLY DEALS

Shop for your weekly deals here

Have a lovely day.  Have something different to show you tomorrow.  

Letterpress just for you ............... and new

Morning Crunchies.  How are you all?

Today is wet in Somerset, but I am staying in the craft room and keeping warm and dry.  

In today's Blog:

• Letterpress Day 3 - Just for you
• Weekly Deals

So as promised all week I am blogging about a recent class I did.  It was a huge success and all my ladies loved it.  I am running a second class of this later this week.

Here's the third card in the set using the lovely Letterpress Stamp Set. 

To start with I added ribbon to my first matt layer and adhered behind - so there are no horrid ends showing.  Added a ribbon bow in matching lost lagoon.  Then I matted and layered the whisper white cardstock,  and then a lost lagoon layer before adding a final white layer.  The top layer has been stamped with Pear pizzazz, and Pool Party.  I then stamped and punched the sentiment - again from the Letterpress set.  

I will be making this card in different colours as it so cute. I saw a similar design on Pinterest by Think Pink, but I have changed it up a bit.  Love it.

Look at all the lovely goodies.  Ribbon, washi tape and so so much more.  Not got these lovely Word Bubble Framelits. They are so awesome to use.  Remember this one.

The sentiments in these were cut with those framelits.  A must for great layering.  

Don't forget all these discounted prices are only available for 1 week.  So hurry and get yours before the price goes back up.

See you tomorrow.

Thanks again to everyone that continues to order both in person and on-line.  Your continued support means so much.

Big Hugs

Snowflakes get flippy

Morning Crunchies, 

Hope today finds you all well and with time to get crafty.

Did you manage to take in all the news I shared in yesterday's post.  So much going on at the moment.

If you missed it here is the link:  Letterpress Day

So today I wanted to show you another card using the lovely letterpress stamp set.

I have combined it with the Snowflake Flip Die

And some of the gorgeous All is Calm washi tape

The lovely snowflake and tree shapes are also included in the Snowflake Flip Thinlets Die. 

The card base is lost lagoon and I have used lost lagoon ink to stamp the large snowflake from the Letterpress set on either side of the snowflake shape and then added the cut outs using dimensionals.

Lastly I have added washi tape down either edge and added a few snowflakes from the lovely frosted sequins pack

I also used both the stamps and the die to create the Menu card for my Table Display at the Stampin Up! European Convention.

On this one I cut twice with the die.

Isn't is just so cute.

Thanks for stopping by.  As always you comments are always appreciated.

Don't forget that today is the last day for this week's weekly Deals.  (They change tonight)

And also please don't miss out on that gorgeous stars kit.  So simple yet so stunning.

here's the link to shop for the stars.

Goodies and goodies ................... oh and only 48 hrs left

Morning Crunchies,

As you have seen from my previous two posts this week I had an amazing creative time at Convention.  It was awesome.

Today I want to show you the stack of lovely goodies I came home with.  I have opened some of them and have been playing already and will be showing you my creations over the weekend.

This was waiting for me when I sat down at the Silver 2 reception.  How gorgeous does this look.

Inside are two beautiful pens and an embossed notebook.

Check out my new handbag.  Its the Stampin Up Convention bag.  Love love love it.

And here's me (Yep curly hair that day) having won one of the prize patrols.

Inside that package is the wreath stamp set and the matching framelits.  Such a lovely prize.

This set has so many uses.  Both for Christmas and the whole year through.

Below are more snaps of the other goodies I came home with, including Project life, Card Kits, Four Feathers and matching framelits, Trim the Tree paper stack, and lots and lots of swaps.

These are the stamp sets and framelits, and my own personalised stamp.  Woohoo.

And now a few of the swaps I received

Six sided sampler the Stampin UP UK colour coach way ...

Hi guys, Lisa, your local Stampin Up Uk Independent Demonstrator here.

In today's post

• Six sided sampler meets the colour coach
• weekly deals

SIX SIDED SAMPLER MEETS THE COLOUR COACH - CARD 1

Yesterday I talked about the colour coach and how much it has helped me when I've been stuck.  I was challenged on Monday to just open it and then go with whatever colours appeared.

I opened it at Always Artichoke. - Green ........ hmm not a colour I work with a lot.  So turning it over it showed Cajun Craze, So Saffron and Always Artichoke paired together.

OK.

I also challenged myself to use the Six sided sampler set ....... I don't own this now, but I will soon.  I really didn't like it.  Too geometric, out of my comfort zone.  What would I use that for.

How wrong was I.  I love it.  Love the way you can create amazing backgrounds with it.  Gorgeous.

Anyway here's today's card

I created the flowers using the different stamps in the set.  And then added the sentiment.  Matted and layered onto co-ordinating card stock.

Hope you like it.  If you want to have a go at this and need supplies simply hop over to my shop and order them.  It couldn't be easier, just click the link

Talking of ordering how many of you took advantage of the weekly deals last week. I did.  There were two stamp sets I had been hankering after, so they accidentally fell into my basket.

And unfortunately this week ........



WEEKLY DEALS

There are several sets of piercing mats that also might be in my basket.

Hi everyone.  Lisa your Stampin UP UK independent Demonstrator here.  - Yes I know you know its me .......

I am loving this week's weekly deals.  There is so many great products there just ready for your christmas packaging.

Sneak Peak

Every year Stampin UP UK hold a competition for all its demonstrators.  The projects are all displayed at our Convention, which is an amazing event to attend, and the winners are showcased and congratulated.

I joined Stampin Up in May 2013, and decided that I would enter last year's competition. This was my entry.

I loved making this box and book set and was over the moon, when I saw I had achieved 1st place.

So we now come to 2014.  Did I enter?  Could I achieve something as good as this or better?  I felt compelled to enter and very pressurised to come up with something very different.

Anyway I have, but I cannot show it to you yet, but I can give you a sneaky peak.........

So do you know what this is?  Can you guess what it's for?  Or even what I am making?  

I will reveal the whole thing on the 26th September 2014. 

Keep checkin back for more sneaky peaks.
