Only 4 Days To Go

Only 4 more days as of today before our fabulous Holiday Mini catalogue is retired but in saying that we only have 4 days to go till the Seasonal catalogue (formerly called the Autumn- Winter mini catalogue) will be here.

With the new Seasonal catalogue, SU! has published what stamp sets & accessories are still available to purchase. Being a Demonstrator I get to see the catalogue early

If there is something you really want  from the Holiday mini now is the time to order as what a great time to do so whilst Sale-A-Bration is on as for every $120 you spend you get to choose one of our fabulous SAB items for free. Check them all out HERE   If you you would like to place an order email me HERE

The items below are some of the items in the Holiday catalogue but have not been listed as still available after January 31st.
I would think that any omission means that the item or stamp set will not be going through to the Annual catalogue.

My favourites that more than likely won't be going through are the Champagne Shimmer Paper, Scalloped Tulle Ribbon, Holiday Frame Embossing folder & Snow Flurry Bigz Die to name a few.

Remember When

Sale-A-Bration is well underway have you picked out what you would love from all our free goodies,
Needless to say I love  everything and have already made a few cards . On this card I have used the Feeling Sentimental set I just love the Penny Farthing. The image has been inked up in Early Espresso then stamped 4 times without re inking between stamping. Feeling Sentimental suits the vintage style card perfectly, not only have I torn and sponged the edges on the front matted pieces but decided to tear the front of the card base as well, the inside matt has also been torn and sponged.

Inside

 The Remember When sentiment from the stamp set Word Play goes perfectly with this set.

Stamp sets: Feeling Sentimental, Word Play, Tiny Tags
Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Card stock: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla
Other: Jewellery Tag Punch, Neutrals Brads, Linen Thread, Stampin Sponge, Tombow Adhesive

Telescoping The Open Sea

 Last Sunday we had a day's  team training at my Upline Karen Rogers house with a very yummy lunch included (thanks Karen). We all did a shoe box swap, did I hear you say "what is that" well instead of making a card to swap with each person you  make up a project kit for everyone and then demonstrate how to make your project.
My Project was a telescoping card made with the Window Framelits and The Open Sea stamp set.
Over the next week or so I will blog the other projects we made.

Decorated Kraft Box

This is one of our Stampin' Up! Kraft Gift Boxes ( page 161 of the 2012/2013 Catalogue), I decorated some for gifts this year, inside were some Darrell Lea Chocolates which I might add are very yummy . These boxes are fabulous for decorating you can cover them with Designer Series Paper, Embossed cardstock or even just Stamp on them. I cased mine from one I had seen on Sandi MacIvers Blog. I only added a small Tulle Bow and a few Champagne Glimmer stars but of course the Chocolates inside made up for that.
