ANOTHER SNEAK PEEK …

So … Christmas 2015 has come and gone … and my husband and I enjoyed four wonderful days with our daughters in Brisbane. At 25 and almost 21 they are not yet too old for us to travel to share Christmas with them!

Back home and back to my craft room.

One of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets is the ‘Sky is the Limit’ … this is going to be a really versatile set for masculine cards but, as a mum with two adult daughters, this set will be wonderful for any card you want to make to inspire or congratulate someone of their achievements with sentiments including – ‘the sky is the limit’, ‘you send me soaring’ and ‘congratulations’ …

For my first card, using this stamp set, I wanted to achieve take-off … so, here is my version of a pull-tab card …

I stamped the ‘the sky is the limit’ sentiment inside this card and used an unevenly inked Watercolour Wash background stamp for the background.

… and remember, this stamp set is free when you order $90 from the Occasions or other current catalogue between 5 January and 31 March (while stocks last).

WEEKLY DEALS … thanks Santa!

I thought I had shared everything important for this week … and then I signed into my demonstrator page and discovered that there are four products available this week in the Weekly Deals!

Showcase (13)

If you haven’t used cotton paper before now would be a great time to order some and see how versatile it is … amazing for punching out and shaping flowers, folding/pleating … the cotton paper holds its texture brilliantly.

Remember, weekly deals are just that – they are offered each Wednesday (a day early this week, probably due to Christmas) and expire in seven days … so let me know if you want to order any of this week’s deals.

Also – you can always go to the Stampin’ Up! ordering page:

… and finally … Merry Christmas to everyone!!

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

With only a few days to Christmas, and lots still to do, I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas … I hope you all enjoy a relaxing time with friends and family during this holiday season.

Thank you for dropping in to see my posts. It has been exciting to see where each of you live and realise how small the world seems on the internet.

Here is my ‘virtual’ Christmas card for you to share ….
