Happy Hello Box and Gift Tag

I am looking forward to seeing some of my lovely team later today for our monthly training get together.  One of the projects I am going to be sharing with them is a cute little box made from the Happy Hello Note Cards.

As well as being wonderful quick note cards in their own right and a fantastic gift to give to a crafty friend these notes can also be made into lots of other things.  Yesterday I showed you a cute little Mini Book and today's little box just uses one of the note cards.

I have also added a little tag which shows the lovely Borders Scoring Plate in action.  If you want to find out more about this addition to the Simply Scored System check out this post.

Now is a great time to join my team - Stampin' Up! are putting an additional 25% worth of the products of your choice into your starter kit!  What ever you want to achieve with your business you will have my support in getting there.  Our monthly training get togethers are just one of the ways I support my team and if you would like to find out more about the wonderful opportunity and the support you would get please email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Scrapbook Saturday - Happy Hello Mini Book

Rather than show you a 12x12 page for this week's Scrapbook Saturday I am going to show you a cute little mini book which is made entirely from products you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration!  

The cover of this book is made from the adorable Happy Hello Notes.  The shape is just so fun and I just love the grey Bakers Twine which is only available in this note card kit

And the inside from one sheet of the delicious Sycamore Street Papers.  I used the off cuts to make the closure flowers on the front too.

This little book gives you loads of room to add photos and journalling.

It would also make a great Brag Book or Mini Planner to be carried around.

If you would like to find out how to get all the product used to make this mini book for free click here

Find Out About Friday - The New Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate

One of the exciting new tools in the Spring Summer Catalogue is the Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate.  

This fantastic addition to the Simpy Scored System allows you to create an infinite number of borders and patterns on your cards, scrapbook pages, tags and other projects.  It is simple to use and since it measures more than 12 inches the patterns can easily be taken along a whole piece of card.

The Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate also comes with a clear overlay guide so you can see where you are going to be scoring - making it much easier to use.

This video from the wonderful Donna Grifith from Stampin' Up! shows you it in action and gives you lots of tips on how to get the most from it.

The Simply Scored Borders Scoring Plate is available for just £13.50.  If you do not already have a Simply Scored Board now is THE best time to get one!  If you order the Simply Scored Board, The Metric Plate and this wonderful Borders Scoring Plate you can have the Diagonal Scoring Plate for free thanks to Sale-A-Bration.  This means you get the whole Simply Scored System for just £50.40 plus post and packing - what a bargain!  To order yours just email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk

Oh Hello!

I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and I always find it exciting when someone decides to join my team and experience all the wonderful things this brings for themselves, the friendships, the fun and of course the chance to make money doing something they love.

Today I am going to show you the cards I sent to two of the wonderful ladies who recently joined my team.

These cards feature lots of lovely new products and I had such a lot of fun making them!  The Pool Party Coredinations layer has been embossed with the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and then sanded before the edges have been inked.  The stamped images are from the wonderful Oh Hello Stamp Set and have been stamped onto canvas and cut out with the new Oval Framelits. The Flower head is one of the beautiful flowers from the Flower trim and it has been coloured with Primrose Petals Ink. The stamped layer has then been mounted on a length of the gorgeous two tone ribbon and some of the self adhesive Delicate Details Lace Tape.

Sale-a-Bration is a wonderful time to join my team - you get an additional 25% in your kit!  This means you can choose the products you want to the value of £162.50 for just £99. You also get business supplies worth £45 and free post and packing on your kit.  Once you have joined you will also get

Scrapbook Saturday - Candlelight Christmas Kit Pages

This week I have a bumper Scrapbook Saturday for you - I am going to show you four pages made with the Feeling Crafty January Scrapbook Club Kit which featured the delicious Candlelight Christmas Papers. 

I am going to start with a page featuring what I was doing this time last week - spending the day with the lovely Panto People.  I really enjoyed working with the team this year - we had so much fun and these folks kept me laughing.  I am pleased to say the audiences loved it too.

Next I have another page showing you that these papers are not just for Christmas!  These photos were taken on a rainy August Afternoon while I indulged in a spot of people watching before going to see a show.

These papers do also look great with Christmas Photos, and the othere two pages I am going to show you are from my Christmas 2012.  Its a bit of a tradition that we go for a walk on Christmas afternoon and this page features a photo of my Mum, sister and niece on our Christmas Day walk

Finally we have another page featuring the same niece doing some Christmas Cooking

The Candlelight Christmas Papers were in the Autumn Winter Catalogue and are no longer available to purchase but I do have one kit available for sale.  The kit contains 5 double sided pieces of designer series papers, one sheet of flocked acetate, 6 sheets of coordinating 12x12 Card Stock, four buttons and some coordinating ribbon.  All the pages above were made from the kit and I still have lots left over!  If you would like to purchase this kit is costs £15 - email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk
