Exciting News Photopolymer Stamps are here, get yours for FREE!

So I'm a little behind with this post due to being away on the Grand Vacation, the news came whilst I was at South Beach, Miami and I was unable to blog.

So here's the scoop!

I'm excited to announce the release of our new Stampin' Up! photopolymer stamp sets! Photopolymer stamp sets are transparent stamps that can be placed on Stampin' Up!'s regular acrylic blocks, and the transparent nature of these sets makes it easier to line up what you are stamping without the need of a guide.

From 1 May until 31 May, earn a free set for every order of £60 worth of other products.

Sweet Gift

So why do I always time it wrong for the dog walk, yet again both Alfie and I came back very soaked, luckily he is still small enough to pop in the utility sink for a quick rinse down when we get in, I am hoping Jay will build me an outside shower house for him in the summer!  Not the best picture, his head looks a little out of proportion in this one, bless him.

I love decorating simple things that can be turned into something amazing and given as a sweet gift.  Here this empty bottle was perfect for housing some scrummy Strawberry Bon Bons

I used a piece of the Gold Foil Vellum around the middle, then some co-ordinating washi tape, both can be found in the new Spring/Summer Catalogue.

I cut a gold banner using the Banner Framelits Dies then stamped the "hello" image from the "Perfect Pennants" stamp set in Strawberry Slush and cut out with my scissors rather than it's co-ordinating die, then attached them both to a delicious pink striped straw!

I tied gorgeous Chevron Ribbon at the neck of the bottle and also a tiny bow from the new Gold Bakers Twine.

So I hope you agree, a really sweet treat that took very little time and money to create but would make the perfect little gift for someone.

Your'e Lovely Sneak Peak

Here are the cards I made for some team members at December's monthly training, each month I recognise those who are in my top 3 for Sales with a handmade card.

This is very similar to the card in my previous post except I changed my first layer to crumb cake and stamped the Gorgeous Grunge stamp with Whisper White Craft Ink.  I covered over the word "lovely" with the word "Amazing" for the stamp set "Your'e Amazing".

I layered everything with Dimensionals for a 3D look and added some Linen Thread for texture.

And here they are all together, here you will see I used different papers from the new Sale-a-bration pack at the bottom of each card.

I made this card for Caroline's birthday to go with the gift I had packaged.

My colour combo is:

Calypso Coral

Coastal Cabana

Whisper White

It uses two new stamp sets that can be yours for FREE during the "SAB" period

The bunting is created using a stamp set called "Banner Blast" and has a matching punch which is awesome, I just know this is going to be a favourite with everyone as it's so versatile.

The label is from another set called "Your'e Lovely" and it co-ordinates with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch and also the "Deco Labels" framelits so no cutting required!

I used "Gorgeous Grunge" stamps for the "splats", a real favourite set of mine which is constantly pulled from my shelf.

Do you see the lovely thick twine, it's gorgeous and comes in three delicious colours.  Here the Crisp Cantaloupe blends in great with the Calypso Coral ink.

The patterned paper is a sneak peak from the upcoming Spring/Summer Catalogue which releases also at the end of the month and we are being so spoilt with lots of amazing new products to play with.

A close up of the stamped bunting, I added a bitty flower from the "Bitty Punch Pack" set of punches topped with a pearl.

I hope you like my creation today, I am hoping to play more with my Sale-a-bration goodies and be back with more lovely things to share with you.
