Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up!® Demonstrator


Thank you for joining me on the last week of Stampin' Up!s new offer. For every £45 you spend on Stampin' Up! products (before P&P) you get a voucher code that is worth £4.50 to spend in September. That will be just in time to shop in the new Autumn Winter Catalogue that is due out on September 5th.

As a Stampin' Up! demonstrator I have already seen the catalogue and am able to order from it now - that is just one of the amazing perks of being a demo. If you have ever considered joining Stampin' Up! then this is one brilliant reason to do it. 

I have been busy designing new projects to show you the amazing new products available, so wouldn't t be great to get some of these products for FREE :-) 

If you would like a copy of the new catalogue please request one by filling in the form in the side bar. 

Bonus Days Vouchers

Once you place a qualifying order in August you will receive an email from Stampin' Up! with your code or codes in it. You get one code for EVERY £45 you send. It is very important to keep the voucher codes safe as they will not be able to send them to you again.

Stampin' Up!® Garden Impressions Block Card

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator


Good morning Gand welcome to my blog. Todays project is my entry for the #stampinforall design team challenge. These challenges are set every Monday by one of the design team. This week its 3D cards. So I have made a Block card. I have not made one of these for ages. I really love these cards as they look 'wow' and are yet pretty easy to do. A lot of tutorials use 12"x12" card stock but this one is made using UK standard A4 card stock.

Measurements and Materials 

I designed this card to be made from a standard A4 sheet.

William and his little brother Henry have been staying with me for their annual holiday in Yorkshire all the way from Plymouth in Devon.

He was so excited to do this and knew exactly what he wanted to make.
