Just believe card using sale-a-bration items!

 

 Hi my stamping friends!

My stamping mojo has been a little lacking since we made our big move to Melbourne. But a lovely new order from Stampin' Up! has remedied that with some new toys for me to play with as well as some sale-a-bration freebies!

Have you seen the Sale-a-bration catalogue yet? It is jam packed with freebies that you can earn with every $100 order. Spend $100 (before shipping) and receive 1 freebie, spend $200 - 2 freebies! And so on...And this year there are 19 items you can choose from! Wow, right?

In this little card I have used two of the freebie items. The first is the Designer Series Paper which is called Sycamore Street. There are 12 sheets of 12x12" double sided pattern papers (2 each of 6 double sided designs). The colours in the papers are Island indigo, Pool party, Rich razzleberry, Sahara sand, Summer starfruit, Tangerine tango and Whisper white. It's a lovely bright set of papers.

The other Sale-a-bration item you will see here is the gorgeous Pool party satiny ribbon from the Sycamore street Ribbon and button pack. This is a *free* set of 3 ribbon spools (Island indigo, Pool party and Tangerine tango) PLUS 36 buttons in Pool party, Rich razzleberry and Tangerine tango.

 

I have also used the Just believe stamp set and gorgeous Elegant butterly punch with some adhesive pearls and the Finishing touches edgelits on the Rich razzleberry piece of cardstock. The base of the card and ink is Island indigo.

If you haven't seen the sale-a-bration goodies yet then click here to see the catalogue.

I am running a Sale-a-bration stamp club where you can place a $100 minimum order at the end of January, end of February and end of March. Each month you can also choose your free Sale-a-bration item (1 per $100 spent) plus during one of the months you will also receive hostess benefits of at least $50 to spend on any Stampin’ up items plus a free pack of silver glimmer paper! Wow! I will need a minimum of 3 people to run this club and it starts on January 29^th so get back to me as soon as possible to reserve your place!

Thanks for looking! Happy Stamping,
Claire

Imagine the possibilities JAI colour challenge 68

There is a beautiful colour challenge over at Just add ink at the moment! The colours are Baja breeze,Pear pizzazz, Perfect plum and Whisper white.

I have wanted to try this inlaid embossing technique with the square lattice embossing folder for sometime now and am really pleased with the results!

I have used the Word play stamp set for the sentiment. Punches used were Boho blossoms, 2 step bird and eyelet border.

Happy stamping! love Claire

Just in time for Just add ink!

I have a last minute entry for this weeks challenge over at Just add ink. This is such a sweet colour combo that I couldn't miss it! The colours are: Early espresso, Soft suede, Rose red and Regal rose. I have been waiting on my order to arrive from Stampin' Up! which included some soft suede cardstock but alas it is not here yet so this card had to go ahead without it! Please excuse the poor photography... it was way too windy outside today to get a decent photo and I had dear little Levi (2 years old) 'helping' me with the camera also! lol


I really love using this Vintage vogue stamp set. Here I have done a little collage stamping using soft suede and rose red. The collage panel is dotted with three small hand cut flowers each centred with a basic pearl. This is then mounted onto some regal rose cardstock which is on some embossed Rose red which is finally mounted on some Early Espresso for the card base. This sweet soft suede polkadot ribbon is from the mini catalogue in Autumn last year. I do wish I had bought more of this ribbon at the time! Oh well...

I hope this inspires you to create something today!
Happy Stamping!
Love, Claire
