IRRESISTIBLY YOURS BUTTERFLY!

January 22, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I have just discovered the ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue. I had fun creating with it the other day. I found this card on Splitcoaststampers. I loved the bright colours and just had to copy it.

I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. To colour the paper I sponged the ink picking it up from the inkpad with the sponge. Rather than dabbing with the sponge though I rubbed in a circular motion. I think that gives a smoother coverage of ink rather than it looking blotchy. Once you ink it then rub over the paper with a tissue and it will wipe off the ink over the embossed areas and give it a shine. For this card the paper is teamed with the gorgeous butterfly die available now in the Occasions Catalogue and I backed this with some Whisper White card to make it stand out. The greeting is from the Buttefly Basics stamp set.

The ‘Irresistibly Yours’ DSP contains 12 sheets (2 each of 6 designs) that are single sided. They each have a glossy white pattern. You can apply ink to the paper by sponge, brayer or directly with the inkpad. You could colour with Blendabilities too if you like. The embossed like pattern resists the ink leaving a gorgeous pattern. If you haven’t seen it yet or really paid attention to it, check it out on page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. Here are the patterns you will find in the pack. It’s great to create some beautiful patterned paper to the colour you would like and to make it look embossed and you haven’t had to drag out the embossing powder and Heat Tool!

Thanks for visiting today,

SALE-A-BRATION ‘BIG DAY’!

January 15, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I showed you one of these cards in a recent post but I thought I would show you it again and show the other card I made at the same time using one of the Free Sale-A-Bration stamp set ‘Big Day’. There are so many fantastic Free choices this year for Sale-A-Bration it is hard to choose a favourite but I think this is a fun one. There are so many ways of using it.

The card on the left was one of the cards we made at my stamp Day on the weekend. That was a fun card to colour. The “Happy Birthday” and the “Celebrate” stamp were stamped together on Whisper White and then cut with the Banners Framelits. To colour it I just used the blender pens and picked up the colour from the ink pad and coloured the lower part of the words. The “celebrate” word was stamped again on Crushed Curry, cut out and adhered over the word. The DSP on this card was another free Sale-A-Bration set ‘Best Day Ever’. I love the colours in this DSP of Crisp Canteloupe, Coastal Cabana and Crushed Curry (which is not a colour I have used before!!). I finished it off with a Coastal Cabana bow (Yes a Free Sale-A-Bration choice!).

The card on the right was from a sketch on Freshly Made Sketches #283. I turned the sketch when I created the card. I was pleased how quick this card came together. I stamped the “celebrate” stamp and cut it with the Circles Framelits. This was coloured the same way as the above card and the “celebrate” stamped on Crushed Curry card and cut and adhered over. The “icecream” greeting was stamped on Sahara Sand scrap. I added a button (yet another free Sale-A-Bration choice). The Coastal Cabana piece was ran through the Big Shot with the Arrows Embossing Folder.

Two quick cards which came together with little drama. Which for me is a great thing. I think these were both made in under an hour. Gotta love that! I agonise over cards way too much.

Here is the ‘Big Day’ Stamp set if you haven’t noticed it before.

Have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the right hand column to view it online. Don’t forget, for every $90 of product order you can choose one of these items for Free!!!! Go and check it out. You can order directly online at my store too (the link is in the right hand column).

Catalogues, Stampin' Up!

SALE-A-BRATION AND THE OCCASIONS CATALOGUE STARTS TODAY!!!

January 6, 2015January 6, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Two lots of exciting news for you today.

1) Sale-A-Bration is HERE!!

This has to be one of the most exciting times of the year because you get the Freebies!!! (All the details are below).

and

2) The Occasions Catalogue is out from TODAY!!

So many wonderful new products for many different events coming up in the next few months – Valentine’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day (OK they are great for male cards). There are also great sets for Birthdays, Thinking of you, Sympathy. You have to check it out!

One advantage of being a demonstrator, you can get hold of the products early and have a play. I have had a great time already. I will be showing you some of these projects over the coming days and weeks. I wanted to show you this one today.

I was inspired by another card I found on Pinterest using a different stamp set. They were quick cards to make to send out randomly this week to some people. 🙂 This is using the very lovely stamp set ‘Lotus Blossom’ that is a Sale-A-Bration set – which means you can get this for FREE!!! I think this is going to be a very popular choice. The colours I have used here are Elegant Eggplant and Wisteria Wonder; and Calypso Coral and Crisp Canteloupe.

HOW do you get these for free might you ask??

Spend $90 on any Stampin’ Up! Catalogue products between now and 31st March and you can choose any product in the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue as your free choice. There are so many options for so many different tastes. (Psst! It will be hard to just choose one you know!!!).

OR, why not get extra freebies???

Host a party. When your sales reach $400 you get an extra $40 to spend.

This is on top of the already great Hostess rewards. For example, normally for a $400 party you would get $60, during Sale-A-bration you can now choose $100. (What would you choose for $100 of free products???). Now a party doesn’t have to be all your friends together in one place at a time, you can have a catalogue party. Pass the catalogues around to your friends/family/neighbours and collect your orders. When you reach $400 you still get the extra rewards – but hey! You miss out on me showing you some great projects. 😦

LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR YOUR PARTY NOW!!! Contact me ASAP to secure your date.
