Last Chance for Birthday Surprise and Why Today Feels Like A Bonus Birthday

As an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin' Up! UK today feels a bit like a bonus Birthday!  Today is the day we get to see all the lovely goodies that are in the next Stampin' Up! Catalogue - I am very excited!  The new Catalogue goes live on 2 June and if you would like a sneak peek before then it is very easy - join my team!  You can choose £130 worth of products, pay just £99 and start enjoying all the perks of being a demonstrator including seeing the next Stampin' Up! Catalogue.  Click here to join now.

So since it feels like a bonus birthday day today I thought I would share some birthday cards with you.  

The stamp set is Birthday Surprise - I love it and it is one of the stamp sets that is retiring to make way for new goodies - so if you want it grab it now - it is only available while stocks last or until the 2 June - which ever is sooner and given the huge reduction in its price it may well not last that long!

When I was making this card I really could not decide on my colour way so ended up making two - I still don't know which I like best, I just hope you like them both :-)

Project Life by Stampin' Up! While On Holiday

I have just got back from a wonderful few days away - visiting the beautiful City of Cardiff.  I lived there as a student and had not been back for a very large number of years - and I know I won't leave it as long between visits again.  

I knew I was going to take a lot of photos and that I would want to get them into my albums as soon as possible, so I decided to get ahead of it a little while I was away.  I have always kept a journal when I am away so for this trip I decided to to use Project  Life By Stampin' Up! cards.  I did not have much room in my case so I started by selecting some cards to take with me.

These are all from the Let's Get Away Collection.  I added a Project Life Journaling Pen and I was ready to go.  I popped the cards in an envelope to keep them safe.  That is all I needed to take, easy to fit in and not heavy either!

While I was away I wrote on the cards and now I am home and all I have to do is wait for the photos to get back from the printers and I will quickly and easily be able to put my pages together.  A lovely chance to remember a fab break with the words about what I did and how I felt ready done and ready to guide me.

If you want to take this set of cards on holiday with you they are available here. You are going to want the matching accessories and stamps while you are there - ready for when you are home and putting your holiday pages together.

Your Perfect Day Birthday Card

I had a lot of fun making a whole batch of cards with water colour wash backgrounds and I have another one to show you today.  

This one has a wash of Island Indigo, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party, before being stamped with Pear Pizzazz and Wisteria Wonder while still slightly damp!  I have used Gorgeous Grunge and Your Perfect Day and the greeting is from Sassy Salutations.  Some Pearls finish off this pretty card.

One Birthday Card Three Colour Ways using In Colors from Stampin' Up! UK

Sometimes when I sit down to craft I just can't decide what colour to use, so sometimes I like to make some cards using the same design but different colours.  

These cards feature the gorgeous swirl from Elegant Eleanor and the birthday greeting from Four You.  The colours are Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush.  

If you love Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush as much as I do then you might want to pop over to the shop now and grab yourself some more card and ink - they are only going to be retiring very soon.

Adventure Bound - Project Life at the Sea Side!

When I was designing this Project Life Page for our team training last weekend I was dreaming ahead, thinking of sunny days I long to spend on the beach!  I love having pages ready ahead of time so I can just slot in the photos and this is definitely of the pages I am looking forward to living and then completing!

Rather than using any of the Project Life cards I have used the Adventure Bound Papers from Stampin' Up! UK.  The combination of photo realistic paper and patterns is so much fun to use.

I also used the Hello Life and So You Stamp Sets, along with some Painted Blooms Twine - we had fun making this net!

I love spending time with the team and sharing both creative and business ideas.  If you would like to know how you can join us then just email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk and we can talk about how to make it happen.

Find Out About Friday - Make a Self Standing Box Of Cards - Free Tutorial Available

It is always lovely to receive a hand stamped card in the post and sending more of them is something I am trying to do. To help me with that I thought it would be great to have a box with some cards ready to go sat on my work desk so when I get a moment I can just grab one and send a quick card.  

Since the idea is to make the cards easy to see and send I wanted a box that would stand on my desk, look pretty, have the cards on display and not to take up too much space.  

A box full of cards like this would also make a wonderful gift.  Here is the box closed.

I have filled mine with Thank You Cards

But it would also be great filled with Monogram cards like the ones I showed you on Monday.  

The papers I have used are the Adventure bound Papers, the stamps are Gorgeous Grunge, Your Perfect Day, and Four You.  I have also used one of the Antique Brads and some Painted Blooms Cotton Twine.

If you would like written instructions for this project please email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk and I will email them to you, free, as soon as possible.

Painted Petals Thank You Cards

I love finding excuses to send Thank You Cards and today I am going to show you a batch of Thank You cards I made using the Painted Petals Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

Just look at the detail on the stamps, so pretty!
