A little packet of diamonds!

Good morning!

Ok....who hid spring??? Either that or I fell asleep last night and woke up next winter!

Oh well....perfect crafting weather! ;)

I have to make the most of today as I won't get too much crafting time this week, as Keiran is off for Easter. 

So it's deadline day! It is the very last day to order for this year's Sale-A-Bration promotion! I am very sad about it, I have to say :( It has been wonderful and I am so proud to have been a part of it in my first year as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

So, to bid a fond farewell, I have a little something to show you that I had sent out in my ladies' parcels earlier this month, that showcases some of the gorgeous SAB freebies!

I used Vintage Verses & Bloomin' Marvellous stamps and Sycamore Street Papers.

Each little envelope had a thank you card and a few of the stunning Vintage Faceted Buttons inside, like a package of little diamonds!

I finished with a little thank you from the Itty Bitty Banners set.

Cardstock - Whisper White

Designer Series Papers - Sycamore Street (SAB)

Stamps - Bloomin' Marvellous, Vintage Verses (SAB), Itty Bitty Banners

Butterflies in White

Good afternoon!

Wow! We're all in white here in Bolton today! I have even managed to get some lovely pictures in our local park :) I am officially on my day off today, but I'm calling a Snow Day nonetheless! 

Ok so with all this white around, it inspired me for this next card I think!

Now I have followed this CASE challenge at Inkspirational

Isn't it a fabby layout?? I couldn't resist having a go myself!

Another view

I have used one of the first Stampin' Up! items I ever bought...the Embosslits Beautiful Wings folder. I love these little butterflies...I always forget I have them!

I have also used some of the Sale-A-Bration designer paper and the new Needlepoint Embossing folders...I love new stuff! ;)

Sale-A-Bration Thank you!

Hello!

Welcome to Guylaine, my newest follower!

I have a card here that took me longer to make than it really should have, all because I couldn't choose which papers to use!

So I settled on these ones, and embossed the middle panel with dots, which I think works well with the papers, don't you?

A closer look at the middle...

I raised the centre sentiment to add some definition to the card, though not too much, in case it needs to be posted.

Supplies needed for this card

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Pretty Petites (Sale-A-Bration)

Markers - Old Olive, Indigo Island, Tangerine Tango

Papers - Sycamore Street (Sale-A-Bration)

Embossing folder - Perfect Polka Dots

Punch - Petite Curly Label

Don't forget, these items will only be available with each £45 purchase (1 item per £45!) from 22nd Jan - 22nd Feb, so please do get in touch if you don't want to miss out!!

Sale-A-Bration sneak peek #7

Hello!

Are you all ready for Christmas? If not, I hope it's not too much stress for you :/

I am pretty much all done now so I am going to relax, go to church, take Keiran to see Santa and visit family...happy days!

Before I go, I'm going to show you another Sale-A-Bration card, using the wonderful, vibrant colours.

This really is a lovely stamp set of 3 sentiments and 3 images...so versatile! 

To get the graduated colour on the hummingbird I first coloured the whole stamp in Pool Party, the the tips of the beak, wings and tail in Island Indigo, then gently blended the two colours...all this was done with Stampin' Write markers before stamping. I did this twice, then cut one of them out and attached it over the first image to give the illusion over hovering.
