It's busy times in the Stampin' Up! world at the moment!

Totally your decision in what you include PLUS all the business supplies like catalogues and order forms etc.
 
Now you may have heard...the NEW SPRING/SUMMER CATALOGUE will be available as of tomorrow, 1st February.

I'm actively looking for new people to join my team - whether to build a business or purely for the discount.
 
Of course you wouldn't marry someone without getting to know them first, so I'd be happy to have an informal chat - either by phone or email so we can get to know each other. It can be daunting making that decision but together we can work out whether it's right for you.
 
I've a wonderful team of Demonstrator who love the products too so whatever you decide, it's not just me you have to support you - you have a whole group of new friends that will be right there with you.

Summer Silhouette Thank You's & Facebook Friday Challenge

Back to showing Summer Silhouettes again today.
 
On Friday night I set a Challenge on my Facebook page to make a CAS card (Clean & Simple) using favourite Stampin' Up! supplies. These 'Thank You' cards are my version of clean & simple with Summer Silhouettes - £21.95 (wood), £17.95 (clear mount).
 
Anyway, all that had to be done was create a card and post it to my page, I would share it with my fans and I'd then draw a random winner to receive a prize of a little bundle of goodies at 10pm on Sunday evening.
 
There was some fabulous entries from Jill, Fiona, Sandie and Di. I couldn't simply choose a favourite because they were all fabulous so names went into a hat and Jill was the winner!
 
Here's Jill's CAS card.
 
 
I shall be setting a Challenge on my Facebook page every Friday and I'd love you to join in.

Hope to see you over there this Friday coming for the next Challenge!

Hopeful Thoughts Stampin' Up!

Bereavement cards aren't exactly a card we enjoy making, but I had a request last year to do a class for them and we made 4 different cards which actually went down very well.

I also taught how to use the Scallop Trim Corner Punch for perfect results - a short video will be coming real soon.

Once you know how to get it right you'll be amazed and it's such a pretty punch too at a bargain price of just £8.95!

Hopeful Thoughts - £21.95 (wood), £17.95 (clear mount)

Summer Silhouettes Stampin' Up!

A slight change of plan to the card I was going to show you. I couldn't find the one I was looking for, I think I've hidden away in my new storage space above my NEW Craft Studio so I've gone for Summer Silhouettes instead. Equally as beautiful don't you think?
This is a CaSE from the card they show in the Annual Catalogue on page 83 where you'll also find this set. This is my version anyway.
 
Summer Silhouettes is another 2 step set - love that you can build a picture with all the different stamps in different colours. Ok, you're going to hear it again..it's another of my faves.
 
The colour combo is...
Crumb Cake
Pool Party
Summer Starfruit
Primrose Petals
 
Summmer Silhouettes - £21.95 (wood), £17.95 (clear)
 
If you would like this set or you're interested in purchasing any of the Stampin' Up! supplies shown in the catalogues, or to just purchase a catalogue, please get in touch at jodumbleton@aol.co.uk, I'd be happy to help you and if you're a NEW customer to me, there's an extra special gift but you will have to place an order to find out what that is. ;)
 
The final instalment of my January 2013 Stamp Sale was last night and it's been a great succes!

Field Flowers

Ok, so at long last I've got something to show you. These gorgeous cards were designed for one of last months card classes using 'Field Flowers'.
Field Flowers is a 2-step stamp set that brings the flower images to life by stamping one image on top of the other to give that 3D effect.

 
 
Absolutely love this set. So easy to use and the finished results are stunning. Lets just say it was a popular choice for those that did the class.
 
The Stamp-a-ma-jig is the secret weapon to giving you precision stamping - an easy gadget that allows you to align each image perfectly.
Stamp-a-ma-jig
101049 £10.95
 
 The colour combo used was Marina Mist, Night of Navy and Lucky Limeade
 
Field Flowers is on page 78 of the Annual Catalogue priced at
£17.95 for Clear Mount and £21.95 for Wood.

STAMP SALE STARTS TONIGHT AT 7PM!

 
Facebook Stamp Sale
 
 
See you there! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 
Happy New Year from the missing person!
 
I know, it's been almost 3 months since I updated. Long story but the short of it was I was working hard, then got ill, then working hard again, then got ill again, and right at the very end, Christmas happened.
 
So here we are, 2013 has arrived!
 
This year is the 25th Anniversary for Stampin' Up! so there'll be lots of celebrating going on over the months including more FREE stuff, more promotions and loads more NEW PRODUCTS!
 
Now I'm not making any promises to how often I will be posting on my blog, I'll be taking everything day by day, but this year I'm making changes with my business and most importantly my family are going to come a little higher on my list, as well as my health. I'm sure you will all understand but don't worry, I am still around and I will still be posting projects.
 
My classes are also going very strong and although I may not get chance to upload everything here, you can always find me on Facebook and more than likely the projects I've created for them. It's not intentional to move to facebook, it's purely a time thing which can be done in an instant and I lack time every day so this is an alternative for the days I'm not blogging - which could be quite a few. 
 
So, if you want to check out and 'like' my Facebook Business page and be up to date with things that are happening in an instant, projects I've created, new classes I've added, then you can find me at..
 
 
Tomorrow evening I start my own JANUARY SALE of Retired Stamp sets, I've boxes of them! It's only on Facebook though so if you fancy a bargain, pop on over and 'like' my page. The sale will be going on over the next week or so, so don't panic if you can't make it tomorrow, there will be quite a lot to list and it will go on in stages plus I'll give you an indication of what time 'ish each night they'll start appearing.
 
Hope to see you over there!
