Caravan of Love

Hi everyone.

Do you ever have times when someone does something so kind for you and doesn't want anything in return.  You know those small random acts of kindness that make such a difference.

A couple of days ago this happened to our family.  I had asked lots of people for help in many official departments, and everyone had rudely refused.  Then on asking a local business they stepped in and helped.  Not their job, not in their remit, but as an act of kindness they helped, and in return wanted nothing.  Wow.  I was very touched and extremely moved.

I wanted to show my appreciation, so of course I turned to my craft.  (Oh and a couple of nice bottles of wine for them).

I sat and made this card using the new love stack in the Spring Summer catalogue.  And I love it.

How cute is that.

Don't forget if you would like a copy of the new catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration brochure just email, text or pm me on Facebook.

Have a great day, and don't forget just one small act of kindness can make such a difference.

Thanks yous all round plus a great Stampin UP UK craft offer .......... too good to mis

Hi everyone.  How are you today?

I just wanted to share the one of the cards I made for my class.  There are four in the class this month and I will be sharing them all with you over the next few days.

This month's class was all about saying those important thank you's after Christmas.

We used very vanilla, night of navy and a doily.  Stamped and punched and added some ribbon.  How cute it that.    I love the vintage feel to this one and can't wait to share the others with you.

Now for some really amazing news, that I also can't wait to share.  

Ive been bursting with excitement and really want you guys to be able to share in this with me.

Stampin' Up! are running an awesomely jaw dropping amazing joining offer over the next week. It started Tuesday 25^th November and finishes on 2^nd December.

This is the first time that Stampin’ Up! has ever offered any kind of joining offer of this type.

It’s a 2 part offer, let me explain.

Firstly Joining Stamping Up!

The usual price to join Stampin Up is £99 and you can choose £130 worth of product from any of our current catalogues for this.  Also included is £45 worth of business basics, such as catalogues, order forms and other business basics.  This is also delivered direct to your chosen address for free.  No shipping costs on this order whatsoever.

Having joined Stampin UP you get 20% discount on every order, but on your first order over £150 you get a massive 30% discount if you place it within 45 days.

THE OFFER

BUT for one week only, Stampin' Up! have reduced this price of the kit by 25% to just £74.25. This means that you will receive a HUGE £55.75 worth of product for FREE!!!!  (And lets face it we all love FREE) 

 You get everything I have mentioned about for £74.25.  How amazing is that.  If I wasn’t already a demonstrator I would be joining today.

You can completely customise your kit to suit your individual needs and taste. You get to choose what products you want to start with and they are shipped to your door for FREE.

WAIT THERE’S MORE

In addition .......... if you decide to purchase or sell anything further during the month of December, you will receive a 5% Bonus on the total bought/sold that month (payable in January). This is in addition to your normal 20% commission/discount. So imagine getting together with your friends and family and placing that £150 order within 45 days, you would get cashback in January on that as well.  Amazing.  That would be the equivalent of 35% discount in December as well as getting this joining offer.

What are you waiting for……

If you need further information about this offer or about joining Stampin' Up!, please contact me.

Who's for chocolate crumbs............

Hi guys,

Todays issue from Stampin UP Uk Demonstrator Lisa Cornwall.

Firstly sorry I did not post yesterday, but unfortunately I woke to up a message from someone that can be called nothing short of nasty.  It kind of upset me and I did not want that to come through in my post.  Anyway today the sun is shining so here goes:

IN TODAYS POST:

• Facebook question
• Todays card - Chocolate Crumb

Facebook Question

I don't know about you but I love the fact that I can order from Stampin UP Uk 24/7 every week of the year.  I also love the huge variety of colours in their range.  Did you know that you can shop with me 24/7 every week of the year.  Simply click on the Shop with me button in the sidebar.

I am a member of lots of groups on Facebook and one of the questions that keeps being asked is do you match your papers to your colours or your colours to your papers?

I am lucky enough that I can do either.

Why?

Because Stampin Up and Crunchie Crafts make it easy.  Stampin Up! have everything co-ordinated.  They take the hassle out of choosing my favourite paper, but using colours I don't particularly like, or using my favourite colours and trying to match to a paper stack.

Its so simple.

And talking of papers, did you know that becoming a member of Stampin UP! this month gives you six months free of designer series papers.  Yes, one pack per month. Thats £9.95 worth of pretty papers of your choice free every month for six months.  Awesome.

How do you get it?

Simple ......... join my team, either as a hobby demonstrator who just wants to purchase craft products for themselves, or as demonstrator that wants to do a bit more.  There is no pressure, the choice is entirely yours.  It costs £99 and you get £130 of goods.  Thats £31 free plus the free papers a total amount of £189.70 for just £99.  Awesome.

To find out more just head over to my page .......... join my team

CHOCOLATE CRUMB

I am currently dieting........... I would like to loose a few pounds so that my new dresses for Convention look awesome and also so that my man is proud of me.

With that thought in mind it is never a good time to start using colours like Chocolate Chip and Crumb Cake.  Ooooh the thoughts of all that yumminess.

Anyway I managed to get through it ........... and didn't eat anything I shouldn't but I am so loving the result.

I pulled out one of my new favourites for this card - the beautiful bunch stamp set and matching punch.  I love this flower its just too cute.

I cut an A4 sheet in half (Portrait) and folded to give my card base.  Next I cut a matting layer 1/4" smaller.  I distressed the edge of this layer with chocolate chip ink on a sponge.

Next I stamped the crumb cake cardstock all over with Chocolate chip ink using the flower from the set.

I then stamped one more and punched out, before curving it using my bone folder to give some dimension.

Lastly I added a basic jewel to the middle of the flower and used a dimensional to pop it on the card,

before adding the Thank You sentiment which is from the Something to Say stamp set.  This has been punched out using the modern label punch.  Again the edge of the sentiment has been sponged to make it pop.

I hope you love this card and set as much as I do.

Take care and thanks for stopping by.  

I got a thank you card .........

Thank you Ali for your lovely card ........  I always send out thank you cards to all my customers.  I think its important to thank people.  Even as a child I wrote my thank you letters.

So imagine how touched I was to receive this lovely 8 x 8 work of art.  Its absolutely stunning.

Ali has used the gorgeous Swallowtail butterfly, maksed over it and then used En- Francais and the Happy Watercolour sets to create this stunning card.  It has pride of place in my craft room.

The gorgeous butterfly has been coloured with our lovely new Blendabilities pens.  Isn't it gorgeous and with some much depth and tone.  Love it.  

Thank you Ali.
