Happy Christmas Everyone

I hope that where ever you are and who ever you are with or without that you have a fabulous Christmas time. I made these candy wrappers for my son's helpers in School. There are 8 children in his class and 8 truly wonderful helpers. These are made up using the Stampin up exclusive Candy Wrapper die and constructed using Wild Wasabi, cherry cobbler and Very Vanilla card stock, First Edition Designer series paper,and embellished with stamped images from Pines and Poinsettias stamp set, Dazzling Diamonds and clear rhinestone brads. I popped some chocolates inside.

Hello

Sorry I have been a bit AWOL ... but what with the beginning of the new Catalogue I have been a busy bee, but it's all good so I can't complain. I made this simple and very quick sticky note holder using the Petite Penants Builder Punch and Penant Parade Stamps with the Brights Patterns Designer Series Paper Stack I also made these 'sweet' Halloween cards with edible candy in ... mmmm

The blue candy is Bubblegum flavoured and are in sweet shops everywhere called 'Millions'. Such fun. This card features the new Haunting HIll Stampin' Roll and the sentiment is from teeny tiny wishes. I have made a stack of these for my God Children.

New catalogue and World Card Making Day!

Yes, the day has finally arrived when we can start shopping from the brand new 2011 - 2012 catalogue and I can hardly contain my excitement!!! So celebrate World Card Making Day with some browsing and shopping ... It's also a year since I have a Demonstrator (gosh, where has that year gone?) There is so much lovely new product and if you click the catalogue link to the right hand side you can view the new product along with all the new ideas. Here is just a couple of the new punches ... yippeeee!

There are a few changes as the hostess benefits system has changed and you can now earn hostess pounds at your workshops (or on qualifying orders to spend on specially priced hostess products (see pages 8 - 12) and for workshops and orders over £300 you start to earn 50% off of products (*conditions apply) so imagine getting 50% off a Big Shot. Anyway, enough of this get over and click that link and start browsing. If you wish to purchase a catalogue join my stampers club please get in touch .... off to play and order now !

Going but not gone yet ...

... if you hurry up before it's too late.

Here are a few more examples of the retiring stock.

This card was made using the 'Happy Fathers Day' sentiment from the set called 'Occasional Greetings', the 'Celebrations' Designer Series Paper and the Star punch which always adds a great dimension.



This Easter project has a sentiment stamp from Occasional Greetings and their are so many versatile stamps in there.



More Occassional Greetings Stamps on these two treat bags



And another stamp from the same set on this card,

Don't miss out ...

The retirement list is final and some have price reductions so make sure you take a look at the list see here

I am re posting a few things from the past that I made with some of the sets that are retiring just to jog your memory: -

This card is made from 3 retiring products!!!



The Star punch is retiring and I used this to make the teeny bunting using the spikes. Its a really quick and easy way to make teeny bunting/penants.

I also used the Friendly background stamp (which is on sale reduced from £16.95 to £10.17) to do this backing paper. I simply stamped on the Baja Breeze card and I love the effect it creates. The 3 element of this card that's retiring is Cheer & Wishes stamp set which I used to stamp the sentiment on the front of the card. The Cheer & Wishes set consists of 6 stamps in a set and was £16.95 but has been reduced to £10.17.

This next retired item is a 5 piece stamp set. 'Choo Choo' consists of train stamps which I love using for children's cards. Here is an example of what I made for my sons 7th birthday last year.



By the way the sentiment on that card is from the set Occasional greetings and that set is also retiring and in the sale. Occasional greetings is a mixed sentiment set. A set of 12 stamps for Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, Fathers day etc etc ...Its also been reduced from £30.95 down to £18.57 and I will post things I have made with that really useful set next time.

If you would like to contact me with an order don't delay as I cannot guarantee stock levels ...

Fond Farewell .... it's the last chance list ...
