Stampers 10 anyone ?

Hi again !

I have been thinking for a while now (I'm sat down, don't worry!) about setting up a stampers 10 club... "What's a stampers 10 club ?" I hear you ask , Well it's a club which I get 10 people to join for 10 months who then agree to spend a minimum of £15 per month on SU! goods (not too hard eh?!) plus p+p.

Every month someone different will be the virtual "Hostess" and that person will receive at least a level 1 hostess set of their choice and a minimum of £15 to spend in the catty on anything else they choose (more if everyone spends more) with me so far ?!

Now, to be the virtual hostess, don't worry, you don't actually have to have a party, you just order through me as normal and you'll just get the benefits !!

If you join I will send you a catalogue free of charge, as my gift to you (usually £4.95) if you don't already have one, so you can pour over it and make your choices too ! You will also be first to hear any SU! news directly from little old me.

Sound good ?

I will leave this post at the top of my blog for a while to see if anybody is interested (who wouldn't be!). I joined SU! like this and now I'm in love with their products, this is a great way to build up your stash without breaking the bank or having to have party, plus you will get some freebies thrown in too !!

Please email me if there is anything else you would like to know on neil.ray@sky.com

If you live in Hampshire or the New Forest area and would like a SU! party/workshop, please contact me on this email too !

Look forward to hearing from you soon,

Oh Brother !!

Hi ladies (and men if there are any out there reading this !)

Another really quick post today to show you a card which was a request for a friends little girl to give to her little bro ! they wanted brother in large letters, the age (2) and Thomas on it. This is what I came up with and in about 1/2 hr too, which is amazing for me as I normally uhm, and ahh for yonks before deciding which way to go ...

Ingredients for this one were : Thomas sticker (stuck onto acetate then cut out then adhered with foam pads to give dimension), Green card, blue core'dinations and buttons from stash, Swiss dot cuttlebug folder, DCWV Paper, SU! Linen thread, large SU! scallop punch, 1", 1+1/4" and 1/2" SU! punches, Certainly celery SU! ribbon, Circle of friendship greetings stamp and Happy birthday stamp from the Occaisional Greetings Set (both SU!) for the inside, not that it shows up very well I'm afraid and I've given it to her so can't re-take sorry :(

I also used the scallop circle punch to take a bite out of the inside panel to let the Thomas pop out !!

Please let me know what you think,

Have a great rest of the weekend and I'll be back Monday to show you what we made for my 1st (practice) worshop.

Hugs,

Golden Roses

Hello to y'all !!

Today's card is a card for my mum's friends who are celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary in March, (we can only hope our husbands will put up with our crafty mess for that long !!!!) I just had to have this "Rose is a rose" set just for this card !! (and a few others) Have got lots of ideas for this set so keep 'em peeled !!

I used pearlescent card with a computer generated sentiment, the lovely "Rose is a Rose" stamp set with Summer sun ink from the earth elements colour family. I stamped off on scrap paper for the first layer to make it pale and then used it 'neat' for the second step so you get the contrast, all done with the help of the trusty Stamp-a-ma-jig. Old olive for the leaves and stems using the same technique. Also added a bit of fine glitter which you can't see very well on the photo as it was very grey and even snowing for a bit here this morning- roll on the summer I say !! White organza ribbon and Rainbow drops from stash.

Hope you like it and I will be back later with a couple of projects for our "Jems challenge" !!

Hugs

Hi all,

Well I've been trying to squeeze this challenge in all week set by 3D challenge blog and boy am I glad I did !! It was so easy and fun to do and now all my kids want one too, may whip them up in a mo ! I can see a lot of these being made in the not too distant future !

The blue one is for a friend and it matches his card, which I will post tomorrow, and the pink one I will give to my mum or sister-not sure yet...

The blue one uses SU! Not quite navy card stock randomly stamped with versmark ink with my fave set "Loads of Love" . I then stamped it with staz on onto white card and cut out, I paper pieced the truck with "Old olive" DP.

The pink one was made ising the "Cheers to you" set (Gasp! it's first use) and then I used my watercolour brush to colour the cocktail with the following SU! ink pads : Pumpkin pie, Pretty in pink, Old olive and Real red. Scalloped bottom done with SU! punch. Sweet Always Papers on triangle part.

All Stampin Up! products available through me , I can send to anywhere in the counry with no need for a party (unless you want one !) nor any minimum spend.
