Carols of Christmas - Early Release

Hi All,
           Now I know it's a little early to start talking of Christmas.  But for us crafters getting the Christmas Card Stash started early is the only way to avoid excess Christmas Craziness.  To help us out Stampin' Up! have released a new Bundle Carols of Christmas early - ahead of the Holiday Catalogue that's coming out 1st September (psst contact me if you'd like a copy).

This Bundle is made up of a Stamp Set with traditional Christmas images and a set of co-ordinating Thinlits, if purchased together in a Bundle they are discounted by 10%.  However you can still purchase them individually.  Here's a card sample made by Stampin' Up! so I haven't provided the project recipe this time.

For more images of the stamps and dies and promotion details see below.

If you like any of these products you can purchase them from me directly or through my Online Store. 

Day 7 Thoughtful Branches

Hi All
          Don't you just love Sundays, I sure do it's the one day of the week I don't schedule anything for the morning.  Sunday mornings are just for my baby Adam (he's a daschund) and I to chill out together and get going at our own pace rather than rushing and getting here or there.  I hope you get to enjoy some time like that for yourself at some point during the week. 

Today's card is the next one in the set for the Christmas Stamp-a-Stack I have coming up later this month.  Just as before the focal points were the Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set and This Christmas Specialty DSP.  Whenever I design cards for a Stamp-a-Stack I try and have the same colour scheme and at least some of the elements the same or similar.  With this Stamp-a-Stack each card has some Ovals from the Layering Ovals Set a plain and Scallop Oval.  There are also banners made using the Triple Banner Punch and also some sponging on each card.

Stamp Set: Thoughful Christmas, Flurry of Wishes
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Garden Green
Card, Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, This Christmas Specialty DSP
Big Shot: Layering Ovals
Punches: Triple Banner
Accesories: Sponge Daubers, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals

Cheers Peggy

Day 6 Thoughtful Branches

Hello Again
                    I have another card to share and I must admit I moved out of my colour comfort zone with this one using orange tones of Pumpkin Pie (my favourite orange) and Peekaboo Peach.  These two colours work well against each other and paired with nice bright greens of Cucumber Crush and Emerald Envy create a nice bright scene.  But check it out for yourself... I'm loving these cute little birds.

Stamp Set: Thoughtful Branches
Ink: Peekaboo Peach, Pumpkin Pie, Cucumber Crush, Emerald Envy, Soft Suede
Card: Cucumber Crush, Whisper White
Big Shot: Beautiful Branches, Magnetic Platform
Punches: 1 3/8" Circle
Accessories: Peekaboo Peach Ruched Ribbon, Mini Glue Dots, Tear Tape Adhesive, Dimensionals.

Cheers Peggy
      

It's Spool Time

Hiya All, sorry I'm a bit late posting this week, my computer is on the fritz.  It's being extremely slow and difficult.  It's taken me 45 minutes plus to send a simple email tonight so I'm going to bite the bullet and take it into the computer tech guys and hopefully they can work some magic for me.

This months promotion is called "It's Spool Time" and it's all about ribbon. Simply spend $60 on Stampin' Up! products and receive a spool of Stitched Satin Ribbon in one of the 2012-2014 In Colours. A nice way to get all the colours would be to get 5 friends together and each spend $60 and you can get all 5 colours of Ribbon and share it out between you. You'd each get 1.8metres of Ribbon in each of the colours plus the hostess will receive $50 in Hostess Dollars to spend.
