Designer Series Paper Flowers

Here is a card that I made using Designer Series Paper and the 1/4 inch circle punch. All I did was punch out 6 circles and stick them around each other using sticky strip. The colours I have used are Regal Rose, Whisper White and the paper is 'Sweet Always'. I have also used the flower stamp from the 'Short and Sweet' stamp set.

Want to earn free products without hosting a Workshop??

How is the possible you may ask? Well, you can do this by joining the 'Stamp Club'. This is a way to receive Hostess Benefits without actually hosting a Workshop. Basically, six members form the club and pay $50 a month for 6 consecutive months. They they take a turn in receiving the Hostess Benefits of a Stamp Set and $30 to spend within the catalogue. How?...because the 'Club' sales achieve the $300 threshold required to qualify for the Hostess Benefits. So, if you know you could commit to spending $50 for 6 consecutive months (which isn't hard if you have a huge wish list anyway!), please let me know ASAP if you would like to be part of this 'exclusive' Club!!

Some new creations!

I have been lucky enough this week to have a bit more time in the evenings to get creative. Makes such a difference when India goes to bed at a reasonable hour these days! Sometimes after a bit of playing around, the final inspiration doesn't hit until 10.30pm but here are a few of the designs I have come up with this week which will be used at the next month's upcoming Stampastacks. Hope you like them...

Cupcakes and Craft!

Today I held a 'Cupcakes and Craft' afternoon where 13 lovely ladies came to see the new Idea Book and Catalogue and make 2 projects - a 'cupcake' card and a 5cm Box (photo's will be coming soon!). They enjoyed an pleasant afternoon of creating, sticking, stamping plus a cuppa and a cupcake!! I am planning on holding another one of these events on Monday 11th May at 7.30 so if you would like to attend, please let me know as soon as possible because places are limited!

New 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalogue

The new 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalogue was released this week!! I have enjoyed sitting down with a coffee, pen and wishlist as I have gone from front cover to back cover trying to decide what to order first! I must say that my favourite items are the Designer Series Paper prints and there are so many beautiful ones to choose from that it was very hard to hold back!
There is also gorgeous 'Cupcake' roller wheel with a coordinating stamp set which I also can't wait to start playing around with! So many embellishments and some new punches to add to your collections too!
I have attached a link for you to be able to peruse the catalogue on line but if you would like have a closer look and order a catalogue please contact me.

Welcome to new viewers!

Can I just say how much I am enjoying sharing ‘Stampin’ Up!’ and my cards with you all! I am meeting so many beautiful people and getting such pleasure out of seeing you all have fun at the ‘StampaStacks’ held over the last few months. I love the creativity that flows when people have a bit of a play around with the designs and go ‘outside the square’. I am definitely a much more structured, simple card maker but I love to see people ‘cut loose’ so to speak!
As I have mentioned in my 'About Me' box, I only joined Stampin’ Up! For the discount, I now can’t believe I have my own client base and a blog page!!
I decided to include ‘scrapbooking’ in the title because I joined Stampin’ Up! mainly for scrapbooking and I do hope to continue in this line more one day! When I get the time!
I have posted some of the cards we make at the StampaStacks and as I make more cards, I will add them on so hopefully it will be an evolving page!!

Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!
