I thought I'd share a quick card I made for a family member this week. It's a wee tease for you since I'm giving you a preview of some lovely new colours - Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Crush and stamps that you can earn FREE as a Hostess, once the New Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue launches on Tuesday. There are so many exciting products being launched in the new Annual Catalogue. Give me a shout if you'd like to buy the new catalogue from me or if you'd like to earn one for Free by hosting a fun Stampin' Up! Party in your own home anytime soon with your friends, family and neighbours. 

Keep Crafting,

SINGLE STAMPS

This offer has been trialed the last few months in North America and has been so successful that Stampin' Up! would like to offer it to our European market too!

• From now until 31st August 2013 (or whilst supplies last), I can offer these 5 single-image stamps for sale
• These won't be sent in typical Stampin up! Clear-mount cases, as they will be packaged in cello bags. If you'd like a case for your stamp, you can buy our Clear-Mount Stamp Cases in packs of four from me too.
• All these stamps are clear-mount only
• You can buy as many as you like (no limit)

contact me to order any of these stamps.

To a very special couple...

My lovely son and his beautiful fiance were married last Saturday (I've added a photo at the bottom of this post). It was 7 years to the day since Nathan asked Katie on a date and 2 years to the day since he proposed and Katie said 'Yes!'. Katie is a beautiful girl anyway, but she was incredibly stunning on Saturday (I don't think I'm biased!). They are so well matched and are perfect for each other. I  wanted to make them a special card to let them know how much we love them and are so proud of them.both. I knew Nathan would be wearing his kilt outfit, but I'd no clue what Katie's Wedding Dress was going to be like, but looked out my Stampin' Up! Artisan Embellishment kit and some favourite discontinued DSP I'd been saving for an extra special card

Envelope made with Simply Scored Diagonal Plate

I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I saw the dies that the talented Karen Burniston designed exclusively for Stampin' Up!.  She even has some instructional videos on how to use the dies too.

The dies are called the Card Base Pop'n Cuts (with the slits in the corners for closing the card) and the Dress Form Pop 'n Cuts insert and also the Dress Up framelits.

I thought I'd finish with a picture of the gorgeous Bride and Groom

Thank you so much

I received this card from a friend who knew I couldn't go away this weekend for training at the Craft Weekend my friends are all heading off to. I absolutely love everything about this card - all the detail, the colours and the style. She must have spent hours making this. It means such a lot when someone is thoughtful and is thinking of you when you're ill.

Thank you so much to Fiona Cooper for your thoughtfulness. I really appreciate it.

Keep Crafting,
