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

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

I can remember the first time I saw Stampin Up! products. I felt like I had been shut in a box and finally set free. Here was all the great products I loved by one amazing company. No more going from one online site to another. No more traipsing around the shops only to find nothing I really wanted. No more wasted car journeys or nightmare parking, just lots of time to craft.

It was all here, in one place. The Stampin Up! place. For those of you who know me you know I only like good quality products and these are the best. So what did I do? I did what I am sharing with you today. I joined during a special offer. I got the best deal I could.

Anyway here's todays quick project.

I demonstrated this lovely box at a hostess event recently.

It was a cross between two boxes that my friends Sam and Tracey had made. I took inspiration from both and created my box.

I used the wonderful envelope punch board and the butterfly from the gorgeous Papaya Collage stamp set.

The butterfly was stamped on all four sides of the box, the lid and the tag and then heat embossed. The edges of the lid and tag were also distressed using sponge and inks.
