Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Catherine Carroll

Sale-a-Bration is here!

It's the most wonderful time of the Stampin' Up! year and everyone can join the party!

From today, each and every £45 earns you a free gift from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. Not sure what to get? This year they are really helping us out with suggested bundles hitting the magic £45 mark at the start of the brochure. £45 earns you one free gift, £90 earns you two... how many do you want?

If you have a wish list as long as your arm (or even longer!), then have you considered joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator? The £99 starter kit allows you to choose £150 worth of catalogue products - that's a whole £20 extra during Sale-a-Bration. I would love to welcome you to my team of demonstrators, whether you want to fund your own SU addiction or start a profitable business.

Hostesses are not left out either - you can earn an extra £25 hostess pounds to spend when you host a qualifying workshop. Get in touch today to book your slot and start inviting friends to spend a lovely evening crafting with amazing products.

Oh, did I forget to mention? The Spring Summer Seasonal catalogue launches today too! So you can earn all the Sale-a-Bration benefits on brand new products!

If you need your very own copy of the catalogue, just email me and I'll post it straight to you. You'll get a Sale-a-Bration booklet too, or how else are you going to choose your free gifts?

 

 

 

 

Love You More!

Today is the last day to get your hands on some wonderful Valentine's sets from Stampin' Up!

My class ladies made this on Friday night, and we agreed that it isn't necessarily a Valentine's card - the cute bird could be used for many ocassions.

I have to say that I surprised myself with the colour combination of Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler, and they do set each other off rather well.

Don't forget to put your order in if you can't be without these stamps! Click here to see the Valentine's sets, just to check...

 

 

 

 

Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop 2014

Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using new Stampin' Up!® products that you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!

I'm continuing my countdown to Sale-a-Bration with this jam-packed blog hop. If you've made it this far you must be overflowing with inspiration (and have a wish list as long as your arm...). I've got a couple of clean and simple cards for you, using the Banner Blast stamp set, matching banner punch and Sweet Sorbet DSP (each one available free with when you hit the magic £45 mark).

I do so love these cute little banners! I can see my punch being my go-to accessory for a while. And it gives me a reason to keep every teeny, tiny scrap of DSP that I end up (of course, I keep them all anyway - now I have a use for them all!).

The patterns on the Sweet Sorbet DSP are just gorgeous. And I've managed to cut up most of a pack already. There must be something wrong with me! It's also made me a Crisp Canteloupe convert. It's about time I used some more adventurous colour schemes.

Next stop is Michelle, with a couple of cards that are on my to-CASE list!

 

 

 

 

 

Follow My Heart for Valentine's Day

I've surprised myself this year - it's a whole 20 days before St. Valentine's Day and I'm managing to come up with some card ideas... maybe it's a sign that my long-absent crafting mojo is returning?

My husband and I went to Paris to celebrate the end of my first set of finals at university. I love anything with a Parisian theme to it, so the Follow My Heart stamp set is perfect. Don't miss out on getting it yourself - it's only available until 27th January!

Now, I'm not one for decorating envelopes, or even the inside of my cards. However, I was inspired by this card to create a lovely banner border for the inside of this one:

Now all I need to do before the 14th is fill it in!
