Free product with £45 order

I hope you are enjoying Sale-A-Braiton and free Stampin' Up Products. Today I thought I would just show you what you could buy for £45 to secure the free gift.

One of the things I really like is the new Perennial Birthday Kit and Matching Stamp Set.


The Perennial Birthday Kit is £24 and the Perennial Birthday stamp set is £27 (wood mount) £20 (Clear mount) So if buying the wood mount stamps then you will qualify for a Sale-A-Bration item. If you are buying the clear mount then you are £1 short so will need to add to the order.  You could choose something off the clearance rack for examples some lovely gold satin ribbon or some Taffeta ribbon.



Other good buys from Spring Summer Catalogue



This is the amazing All inclusive kit I showed a few weeks ago. You would then need to spend a further £13.50 so you could get loads from the clearance rack or add ink and paper so you can make more cards.

In the new Spring Summer Catalogue there are 2 sets of Stampin' Spots so thats 4 colours for £8.25 and some matching mixed card packs for £7.25. So you would have plenty to use with the stamp set that comes with the kit :-) 




Other ideas are the Memories and More Kit £9 plus some glue or clearance rack products, project coming soon showing how they make stunning cards.



Or you could add once of these new punches :-) 



There is an amazing masculine suite and for £45 you could get paper, stamps and Punch and still have  room in your shopping basket for some clearance rack bargains.


Anyway just some ideas to show what you could get for £45 and the choice from Sale-A-Bration is just phenomenal. SO what are you waiting for? Get Shopping lol

See you at the checkout!

    #stampinforall colour challenge

    This week over at #stampinforall the colour challenge was Emerald Envy, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo. I looked in my craft room and found Emerald Envy Ink, cardstock, Stampin' Write Marker and some ribbon, Daffodil Delight Ink and Stampin' Write Marker and only a Stampin' Write Marker  in Melon Mambo. So thinking can needed to be well and truly applied for this #colourchallenge!

    Pinterest

    If you follow me on Pinterest you may have already seen this card as I have already shared it there. 

    Deciding on a theme

    I wanted to use some of the new Spring Summer Catalogue products so I picked the Petal Palette Suite. I decided to cut the floral die in Emerald Envy so that I could colour the flowers in using the Melon Mambo stampin' Write Marker and the centre of the flower in Daffodil Delight. I wanted to add something to the Whisper White background  so I used the dots stamp from the stamp set and stamped a background in Daffodil Delight.

    I used the sentiment from this set and used the Stampin' Write Markers instead of ink to colour the words so I got 2 colours in the sentiment.  I used the 2" Circle Punch to cut out the sentiment and then thought it needed something so I stamped the dots around the circle in Daffodil Delight to match the background. I then used the Starburst Punch on the Emerald Envy cardstock to mat the sentiment on. Lastly I tied a bow in the Emerald Envy Taffeta Ribbon thats on the clearance rack. From having no idea what I was going to do I think I have made something quite nice.



    Measurements 

    To make this card I cut the layers as below - these are my standard way of cutting layers and they give 1/8th border all round.


    • I used some Emerald Envy cardstock as my base - A4 cut in half and scored in half, this makes a C6 card 5 7/8th x 4 1/8th
    • I cut a mat in Whisper White cardstock just 1/4" smaller on each side - 5 5/8th x 3 7/8th
    • I used some scraps of Emerald Envy to cut the flow sprays and Starburst 
    • I used a scrap of Whisper White for the  sentiment


    Stamping and Colouring

    • To colour the flowers I used Stampin' Write Markers  
    • I colours half in full strength Melon Mambo and half water colouring with the Marker 
    • Once the water colour was dry I then went over in the marker to add dimension to the flower
    • I coloured the centre of the flower with the Daffodil Delight Marker 

    • I really like how the sentiment turned out
    • I used a Blender Pen to fill in the little flower in the sentiment




    I am really enjoying the colour challenges set every 2 weeks - if you would like to take part then why not subscribe to the Stampin' for all Facebook group

    I will be back with another challenge in two weeks. See you soon

    Stampin' Up SAB Bubble Over Card

    Welcome to Sale-A-Bration Sunday!! I am bringing you a project using a Stamping' Up FREE product. Yesterday I showcased these papers and today I am using these in this card.  I have 2 sons that both enjoy a beer, one in particular is really into his real ales so these papers are perfect for cards for them. It is their Dads birthday soon and he (like me for that matter) also likes real ale and bottles Belgium beer ever since our trip to Bruges so this is going to be his birthday card.

    I love the fact that the bottles can be cut out with the co-ordinating Framlets, but actually they could easily be fussy cut out.


    Measurements

    To make this card I cut the layers as below - these are my standard way of cutting layers and they give 1/8th border all round.

    I used some Bermuda Bay cardstock as my base - A4 cut in half and scored in half, this makes a C6 card 5 7/8th x 4 1/8th
    For the mat I used Whisper White cut 1/4 shorter and thinner 5 5/8th x 3 7/8th 
    For the small mat I used Lemon Lime Twist 5 5/8th x 1 3/8
    I then cut some of the Free Bubble & Fizz DSP that had a row of bottles on it, this was trimmed to fit the mat.
    I used the small and large bottle die to cut the bottles from the DSP
    The Whisper White mat was stamped on the top with the bubbles stamp using Lemon Lime Twist.
    The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped towards the bottom.

    I really ilke how it has turned out, now gather the resources and craft along with me while you watch the video :-)





    Products used




    I just love this free DSP, I can't wait to do some more projects with it.  Hopefully you saw the Gin glass gift box I shared on Tuesday.

    See you soon
