I ummed and aahed about buying this gorgeous Heart stamp in the Valentine Promotion running until just next Monday 27 Jan... And I am so glad I did...it is so STUNNING.....


So this is the first in a series of at least 5 or so posts using the Flowerfull Heart stamp..... They will come fast and furious over the next 24 hours... No time to waste!

Pair it with some dramatic wording... and it forms a double-CAS Project....Clean & Simple, Classy & Stylish.... In less than a minute! I just love it when that happens......

But remember.. only available to purchase for another 5 days..... Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like one.... order going in on Monday as 5 of you have already agreed with me!!! A must have...

Oh and sorry for lack of projects being posted for months... I have been SO busy creating & doing!! Lots to share... Just needing to find extra time each day to get on here....  But I have a cunning plan..... Which involves this as a test post.... Fingers crossed....

Brand New Today - Thinlits Card Dies

 Note that this is my 2nd post today – please don’t miss the details of the 25 stamp sets at 25% off published earlier here……

They’ve been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more—but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore!

Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step.

Item	Description	Price
133479	Label Card Thinlits Die	39.95 € /£29.95
133480	Circle Card Thinlits Die	39.95 € /£29.95

Check out on the video link here....

These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces. With the number of dies you’re getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!

The main shape in the cards (circle and label) can work with a lot of our stamp images so you can create tons of different kinds of cards using many different stamp sets. Here are a few suggestions to get you started …. Label Card Thinlits Die (item 133479): Happy Day Stamp Set (item 130294 W item 130297 C) Circle Card Thinlits Die (item 133480): Worth the Wait Stamp (item 131091 W) Five-Way Flower Stamp (item 131088 W) Both card dies pair well with: Oh, Hello Stamp Set (item 131931 W item 130733 C) Yippee-Skippee! Stamp Set (item 131341 W item 131344 C) Really Good Greetings Stamp Set (item 130330 W item 130333 C) Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set (item 130324 W item 130327 C)

These dies also work well with our new magnetic platform (item 130658) so you can place the dies exactly where you want them!

 

And remember – don’t miss the 25 stamp sets at 25% off for one week only – plenty to co-ordinate with these dies there.... link to details here …..

Creative Share… at long last…. Joyful Christmas

Last week saw the Stampin’ Up! UK Creative Tour come to Leeds… so I was there like a flash…. great opportunity to meet up with fellow demo friends and do some sharing…. (more on that another day!!)

So (and don’t faint Nicola!!!!) a quick post today to share the very simple Swap card I made…. though I have to add that …although it has been the simplest Christmas card sample in my craft room… it is the one that has caught most people eyes & produced the most comments…. so I decided to make loads of them to swap with my fellow demos….

The gorgeous poinsettia image is simply stamped in the new Encore metallic inks from the Autumn Winter catalogue … which are fabulous….. no more heat embossing for bulk cards for me!!!! And then just a dot of the Dazzling Details to add some definition to the image……

Here is the alternative colour version… which was actually the most popular on the night… ( though for some reason Blogger appears to be having problems with it… so you may need to click on the gap to find the picture!!)

Sorry that it has been SO long since I have posted a project… I have been far too busy designing & making them…. as I particularly love making Christmas projects… so I have lots and lots to share….. watch this space…..

SU! Supplies

Stamps – Joyful Christmas

Embellishment – Dazzling Details Clear or Cherry Cobbler

Inks – Encore Silver or Gold; Midnight Muse or Cherry Cobbler

Card – Midnight Muse, Smoky Slate & Whisper White or Cherry Cobbler & Very Vanilla
