And more Sale A Bration projects–Madison Avenue this time…

Just 12 hours left now till the end of Sale A Bration...... And some more projects made using another of the free SAB stamps to share.... Using the contemporary Madison Avenue stamp set this time... Love this set although it started off as one I didn't like!! Funny how often that happens when you start to use a set that gives you so many options....

 

  Go here, here and here for more projects that I have already shared using the Madison Avenue set......

Stampin’ Up! Sale A Bration– Madison Avenue for an Easter Cross?

So are you ready for Part 6 of my Sale A Bration project share!! This card was one that prompted lots of reaction and comment at Team Training… simple but effective… and for many people not so obvious! Every year I am asked to do an Easter card featuring a cross….so here is one option… another one to come….. And I have to admit that this was one of my so –called “ concept” cards but once complete… I loved it too!!

I also have to add that the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack is such a must have of mine… I wouldn’t use Madison Avenue without them! I think this little set of 3 punches has definitely climbed to the top of my most used punches over the last 6 months …. A quick photo of what you get in the pack here…..

And I wonder if you eagle eyed girls at Team Training spotted my not-so-deliberate mistake with this card!! Why did I put it on the board with the Pretty Petites samples!!?? Must have been a good senior moment… Those of you looking at the display boards on yesterday’s post won’t be able to spot that…. as those photos could be clearer generally and the Pretty Petites (plus this card!) were all over to the right hand side so you can’t see that area on the photo!! For those of you that have asked me for clearer photos… I have taken some more of the boards and they will be posted here in due course!!

Now which project shall I share tomorrow…. add any particular requests to comments and I will duly re-shuffle as necessary!

Jules Jems Training Swap & Sale A Bration Inspiration Station

Yesterday was the re-scheduled Jules Jems Training Day, the original date being postponed because of lots and lots of the white stuff!! Julie had asked me to do an Inspiration Station with projects produced using the Sale A Bration free products ( one free for every £45 ordered!!!) So I had a ball!!!  Though with 11 SAB exclusive items to go at… it took quite a while… but hey ho … a girl has to have a play from time to time….  Great Fun!!

Here are a few shots of my Inspiration Table… some of the projects you have seen on here… and as you can see there are many more to come!! I tried to vary the level of projects – from the simplest of simples, through Classic CAS ( Clean & Simple), the Fancy Folds and some … well just concepts really!! And even a few “Sillies!”

 

The Training Day itself was super! I really enjoy these days…. both socially and creatively….. Great bunch of ladies, some new friends, some long-time-no-see friends, many laughs, fantastic projects made, superb swaps, inspiring “talks” from Julie, 2 other fabulous Inspiration Stations from the incredibly talented Yvonne and Anne Marie (and Julies of course) … great food and … of course, fantastic Silver Anniversary cupcakes!! Thanks again Mell!  Want to see the projects and the cupcakes….. then go to Julie’s blog here…. They are definitely worth a look!

Talking of swaps… this was mine…. I found it so hard deciding on a project that could be quickly reproduced 44 times! CAS was obviously the way , it had to be A SAB project to link in with my Station and I challenged myself to use the stamp set that initially didn’t “swing it” for me… Madison Avenue… which I now absolutely LOVE!!!

The inspiration for the colour and the flower came from this card by fellow US demo Sandi MacIver (which I had also CASED  for my Inspiration Table – thanks to Sandi for being so willing to share her creation and for such a lovely e-chat!) The detail I had to add  - and share - was just in the little flower… the Itty Bitty Flower Punch is just perfect for punching out that little image in the stamp set… simples!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here is my CASED sample of Sandi’s card … I am definitely a big fan of this Pool Party and Sahara Sand colour combination… on its own or with any other colour as a 3rd colour …. so it allows for great flexibility for my class ladies who all have their favourite, but different, colour.

Stampin Up Sale A Bration – Madison Avenue–Christmas in January!??

So to start my series of Sale A Bration (SAB) product projects.  Here is a simple one for Christmas!!!! With the all year alternative below ( Thank You Anne) …….. This was one of the favourites of all of my ladies!!

Don’t those flower images just make the most beautiful snowflakes.

And spot the detail on those tiny snowflakes (flowers!) – I have used the Itty Bitty Flower Punch which appears to be the perfect size and shape for the job!! I just love it when that happens!! Life sometime gets easier……

And there is another new Spring & Summer Catalogue product here – the lovely Natural Trim 7/16” Ribbon – beautiful to use……
