I was approached by a fellow local crafter Emma Jennings, who runs Material Girl Horbury (<a href="https://www.materialgirlhorbury.com/contact-us/" id="id_4b9_c8f6_9c5d_896a" target="_blank">website</a>) at the possibilities of running a joint class. I jumped at the opportunity and started to think that simple projects we could do. </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This card is quite a leap for me. I like to copy, CASE (copy and share everything!) and use templates. I'm get stuck when I have to come up with my own designs and I use Pinterest ALL the time! I don't have the time or energy to play around with my stamps, I just want to create cute projects that someone else has had the creativity to produce. This card was made with scissors, no template and I just went freestyle and cut out something that vaguely looked like a bird. The fabric is a retired fabric from Stampin' Up! from a few years ago that I still had in my stash. I double stitched around the bird twice, using my fabulous Janome TXL607. I like the effect it gives and it doesn't have to look too perfect.</div><div><br></div><div><div><img id="id_ddf2_fab4_82e4_c7b7" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjz6lQG0J8VDbIBR64If3iDzwZ8aHJvybZEJ5i7GB23pCC9semWbALi7BHt2VklMwG1mIAuPn-jJtBP1-3eT9B53gpAJFOigQsxG1cLitIQN4YSSO3BcDSZ1-9I865SSAtaSCn5C2zghnY/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="Free Motion Embroidery" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto; margin: 4px;"><br><br></div></div>Alex Spencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442306184672588617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982808785260351200.post-88057963508282836882017-05-03T19:15:00.001+01:002017-05-03T19:15:12.825+01:00Retiring Project Life Card CollectionsGood evening,<div><br></div><div>I've got half an hour to kill before setting off to my Watercolour Pencils workshop so I thought I'd do a quick blog post about the retiring Project Life card collections and Accessory Packs. </div><div><br></div><div>These are only available until the end of the month, so you may wish to stock up if you already own one if the collections, so you can continue your albums with the same cards, or if you fancy a change, why not try out a new collection before they have gone forever. </div><div><br></div><div>The cards are so easy to use, just choose what design you want, the cards come in both landscape or portrait and they come in various sizes depending on which collection you choose.

I've just climbed into bed, after a long day at work, and then home to preparing for a Watercolour Pencils workshop tomorrow evening. </div><div><br></div><div>My post today is to share with you why I love holding Project Life and Memory Keeping workshops. It's made a big difference to my business, and also to the friendships I have made with the ladies who come along. It also allows non crafters to join in, and get involved with something that anyone can do. </div><div><br></div><div>Business</div><div>As I mentioned above, running memory keeping workshops has increased sales, and also attracted new customers to my classes. What really matters to me when I receive an order form is that I have inspired someone to buy a product that they want to have themselves, that they think they can use and will produce beautiful creations. I'm really excited to share with people the many different ways that they can use their products, and love seeing their Project Life albums come to life over time. </div><div><br></div><div>Friendships </div><div>When ladies bring their photos to a Project Life workshop, they are not just bringing an image. They are bringing stories and tales, memories and names. I always look at their photos and ask about the event or moment, and sit back to listen. We've had laughs, giggles and even tears! One of my ladies on Saturday was talking about her beloved dog, who passed away. It's important that these memories are recorded and kept, and written down to pass to future generations, or for ourselves when we are older and memories are hard to recall. </div><div><br></div><div>Crafters and Non Crafters</div><div>Memory Keeping can be what ever you want it to be. I bring along all my inks, dies and a selection of stamps for the ladies to use in their pages. They can do as much or as little crafting and embellishing as they choose. There's no right or wrong way to do it, it's their pages to keep simple or glam up to their liking. It's a perfect hobby for non-crafters, as all you need is some photos, pocket pages and a card collection. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_ab3c_6c7a_502d_40a" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFZrG8MiJpDlCBtOlumZXPgMFPZYGrGaLtS073FIrQB8e8acoC8L-ovEByIpDh1B_X3qVCSn-U9Sn6N_FAF-Zi7PHut4vzO03yQmtEQbHeqceZ98qctH7ep5ntchNkJxC4buUtXbJUsGw/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div>Don't forget that the Project Life products will no longer be available after the end of this month so please head to </div><a href="www.alexspence.stampinup.net" id="id_6e1e_96e7_a9e2_1683" target="_blank">www.alexspence.stampinup.net</a> to place your order. <div><br></div><div>Please call back tomorrow, I'm going to be sharing the card collections and accessory packs. x</div>Alex Spencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442306184672588617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982808785260351200.post-68767857603053609162017-05-01T14:36:00.001+01:002017-05-01T14:38:16.522+01:00Project LifeGood afternoon,<div><br></div><div>Don't you just love Bank Holiday weekends? That extra day off really makes a difference. In my "proper" job, I get up around 05:30 each morning, so it takes its toll! I don't have as much time for crafting in the evenings, I'm too knackered! This is one of the reasons why I love pocket scrapbooking, as it's so simple to sit for half an hour and achieve something memorable. </div><div><br></div><div>This week I am going to blog everyday (that's right, I've written it down so I'll have to stick to it!) about why I love Project Life, memory keeping and pocket scrapbooking. Stampin' Up! are ending their partnership with Becky Higgins and Project Life at the end of May, so there's only a month left to purchase the lovely products that are still on sale. </div><div><br></div><div>I went to see my sister, her boyfriend and niece yesterday, and my Mum and Step-Dad came up from Bedfordshire too. I brought my Project Life album to show them my pages, and I had recently started one of my niece. For me, the most important thing is getting photos printed off, and the important memories written down. My niece loved flicking through the pages, touching things and in years to come, she'll love hearing the stories over and over again. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_5ecb_e586_37fd_647c" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5_9AURjJf9RmLqhI7rSPh0pZn2vy0MKUZWfUSz9Ac-W702_1gOq2_IyouAiOnWsw5YrS-SDqoDMtsNTXya4aVHRU0k1YD2LyP_J_5FpYvgasY56mn-CgSoIwxncCATDm4nIB1prYQQ8/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_ca1b_7234_45d4_5306" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EP_5HFWsFFQ/WQc57Q_DQsI/AAAAAAAAEAE/SEspPecgPRwnmbTySh5N9n6PkW6F1MQoQCHM/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><img id="id_c659_9e7b_4cb6_d286" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1EsAGffVbYQ/WQc58OfzGJI/AAAAAAAAEAM/_GWnIrVswZUKA6EklTNpgR3yx3KknXUEwCHM/%255BUNSET%255D" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div>Later on we went to the park, and for the first time I got to push her on the swings, and she had a great time!

This one was nice and simple, it's always good to have a quick card for my ladies to have a breather. I would normally have said that they could enjoy a chat and a cuppa but I was so engrossed in the class that I forgot! What a terrible host!</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, let's get back to the card. For the card blank I used some retired card stock - Naturals Ivory. The Pinapple was stamped in Emerald Envy and Crushed Curry. The heat gun was used to dry off the ink, before the Versamark ink was stamped using the "My heart smiles just thinking of you" from Suite Sayings, and then black embossing powder was applied and heated using the heat gun. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img id="id_7fc0_730e_9b75_5ea7" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPaQTlKBnGxX2dRF6HMUYghKDOqSQS047e-vQBlqnKyjJ9VxR_DNVC23dOX5ptEWWC_T7Ish7h62zAUZV3FjY0E2flF2crVp_eKQkkVWaczAV2-FZYwT4TViHhPqv5gzaU0US_bIfjAKE/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><img id="id_db55_aa5e_bf94_9e0e" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8bLj85GYt2xDUtEssTx_YwXPlUygQXjHcbNvy2BUabnKLdtWU9C9HX6jf65hUX-LgYhAK5B8qL04Xxtlmy9c66xSeH0JGvQ9XQNjtK2-BIT27XQ4a6WAz4CY6nPdz3GY3JeGtRkVuv6E/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A strip of washi tape from the Pop of Pink Designer Washi Tape was stuck to the right of the card front and a couple of sequins from the Gold Sequin trim were stuck on. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><img id="id_a433_d828_a6f4_4f0d" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPA_9LBkaWS7P61XCeCdkEwJ-TPmBetQ2MUHO0odeZRY2tdmkHM5jFiQ1hvhved-tfGQFHDlqYaXHLFt_Rm4DgVqwS2ns7o2I_oiFbOstmpHgNcXu6IT3DY-mnFoTDKVnCsmUwqoVJTc4/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br></div>Alex Spencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442306184672588617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982808785260351200.post-54227369723106126952016-08-11T22:41:00.001+01:002016-08-12T12:24:43.220+01:00Trio of Flamingos<div>Good afternoon! </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I hope you enjoyed my last couple of posts on my July card class. My next couple of posts are going to be about the card my ladies made at my recent card class in August. The theme for this class was Flamingos and Pineapples. You can't have failed to spot that they are everywhere this summer, and when I first read through the Annual Catalogue back in Telford I wasn't too sure about the new trend. But after using the two stamp sets "Pop of Paradise" and "Pineapple" I love them! </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first card that I'm sharing from the class was created with the Pop of Paradise stamp. I thought I'd try to teach my ladies a new technique called "masking". This is where you stamp an image, and then mask out the area where you have just stamped, using scrap paper (post it notes always work well) and then stamp the same image in a different place. The scrap paper hides the original image so it's not stamped on twice. I did this on the card blank using the Flamingo stamp, and stamped off the ink each time to get a lighter shade of Melon Mambo ink. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_be8a_e52b_5788_36e0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dhfZ1vuvteDlyb-VUReu3EEmuRWJzd2fwHwh_q3QqRgnnpYT4NxWoiaWTxlfexsGu20JA97aKjQXBaZinzqUPjOI09LkuxGo-bfP1PFR-wlvJsFvrbGr9olJHB1r-45m-QnOBBRnKEY/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Flamingos were mounted on a piece of DSP from Pop of Pink, and then onto a Basic Black card blank.</div><div><br></div> <img id="id_fc8f_1b2e_ff2b_e628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPEZXC2S9kqF2Z6Bly9vahuLig_mMF4PkFgMFV-fTHEfifsN1DESBP5V789GRu_WDxiFALov6HZZAWkLdPfA_q-0j9jVb55WncKUs0wP7-GNwzKYfMRPMcAL-bhqaH9ZODmyVFMI-tEyY/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <div> </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">We also used a technique called "Embossed Resist". The sentiment image Thinking of You was stamped in Versamark Ink onto Whispee White and then Whisper White embossing powder was applied. The heat gun was used to set the powder. Melon Mambo ink was then rubbed onto the image using the sponge. The heart image was then cut out using the paper snips. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_f069_35bc_78d0_9d42" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirxzzfn6ocltN5vQ0-kiKnW0v1B51xoxz668PLjMI7TRKWjpDx_K1iEcjUIWCFwFBwef_wJidEyKJaIc9yA0wXCwoLnTa8p-ndqtL04ExVukzlrmRPD-Yhe89Qvu7UqsemyudAoirc46w/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lastly, a piece of the gold thread was wrapped around the top corner in a spiral, and then the heart was fixed to the card using the Dimensionals. A couple of sequins from the Gold Sequin Trim were fixed to the card to add a bit of bling!</div><div><br></div>This card was cased from a lady called Emily Campbell and her blog can be found at <a href="http://tinykiwicards.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/onstage-auckland-2016.html?m=1">http://tinykiwicards.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/onstage-auckland-2016.html?m=1</a>Alex Spencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442306184672588617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982808785260351200.post-28305908767534688062016-08-08T17:15:00.001+01:002016-08-09T21:05:31.876+01:00Third Swirly Birds Card<div>Good morning,</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today I'm sharing the third and final card from my July card class. It's another one using the Swirly Bird stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies. This one has the colour combo of Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach, Emerald Envy, Mint Macaron and Daffodil Delight. The sentiment stamp is from Suite Sayings. </div><div> <br></div><img id="id_b3ef_14b1_70a3_ce82" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieO8p-LCFaBeAyVYkQuSj75VEOrND6xshwI4F0RIKA_P3GCeIxpEO1WjFdd7kDMZ6ppHDnOQqoZwO8qGW6hFEUbcYZp9v2cHAlA8ZcXzihdoN_6gNYBiSzaWCxfCIerk27ZF9CwnmIp4g/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This scribble was created with two stamps. The lighter full circle was stamped into Peekaboo Peach, stamped on to grid paper and then stamped onto the card so it had a lighter image. The swirl was then stamped onto the card after the first application of ink. </div><div> <br></div><img id="id_306e_dc9d_1ae_a473" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhed5S5EgjlaBqGdCbgsDs6HuLIzIiIAP5yWDNO8raLn9FF_5Zvco6hnGEe44Qz6OGxF2Rb9C3B-8vCPoehE3FHVfs7QFSaWJF_fdE2-KmNoflR2pbz_QwPRLFEFQyeBycVOZTP4URoI0k/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This was another cased card (There's just so many lovely creations out there to case!) from this blog. <a href="http://songofmyheartstampers.typepad.com/song_of_my_heart_stampers/2016/05/swirly-scribbles-fun-dimensional-rose-cards.html">http://songofmyheartstampers.typepad.com/song_of_my_heart_stampers/2016/05/swirly-scribbles-fun-dimensional-rose-cards.html</a></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">If you've enjoyed seeing my creations with this stamp set, why not see what you can come up with.

I can't remember the last time I wrote a blog post without apologising for not posting very often! Hopefully I should be posting more regularly now that I have moved house. There's still loads to do but I do manage to fit in some crafting so that's nice. I have also started classes again, at Ossett Arts, in Ossett Town Hall, Wakefield, West Yorkshire. They are monthly at the moment, usually on the first Wednesday of the month, at 19:00. </div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I try to use one main stamp set or product at each of my classes and the first class I ran in August was based around the Swirly Birds stamp set and Swirly Scribbles Thinlits dies. I love this set more than I thought I would when I saw it in the catalogue initially. Pinterest is full of ideas and there's so many different ways the use the set.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first card I'm sharing with you is a kite card made with the Swirly Birds stamps. The colour combo for this card is Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I used the Tree Builder Punch to punch out a cloud shape, and used this as a mask with the Stampin' Spritzer and Pool Party ink refill to create the sky background. The sentiment is from Thoughtful Banners and comes with a co-ordinating punch called Duet Banner. </div><div><br></div><div><img id="id_eb34_f872_b1eb_1d7b" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1TzHC5ebyjxZFn85qIuYfniQ7izCoGExxVQTl8CCLJum99avzyKTPvTDEd2kPg6zcuh13sNiFgJSB9N0gsqvpmzm5iJAcM5V3f_TzZ1P1-HMqix1DQgAE629qBnG0YKNrLqEZdeSXqws/" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"> <br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love the paint splatter stamp that is included in this set.

Apologies yet again for the lack of posts on here recently! I'm in the middle of moving house, and currently staying with family as I sold my house in Leeds 4 weeks ago and we're just waiting for the house we are buying the be ready. It can't come quick enough, and I've already spotted the perfect built in cupboard in the dining room for my stamps!</div>

Seeing as it is a Bank Holiday weekend, I came down to visit my Mum & step-dad in Bedfordshire. We invited my step-sister Victoria over yesterday, and we had a mini card kit class in the dining room. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had a play with the new Oh Happy Day card kit, which is in the new Annual Catalogue, available from the 1st June 2016. It's a gorgeous bright kit, and makes 20 unique cards. You even get 13 photopolymer stamps and a Basic Black Archival Stampin' Spot in the kit to keep when all the cards are made up. The cards are so easy to make, with printed due cut elements, glittered chipboard shapes, coloured doilies and twine to embellish the cards. You can go "off-piste" with the cards if you choose, but I liked following the clear instructions which made it easy to produce gorgeous looking cards. </div>

My Mum & Victoria had a play with the Watercolour Wishes Card Kit, available in the current catalogue (140406) which is £31.50 and also makes 20 cards. I love these kits, simple, easy and all you need is glue. They make perfect presents for anyone, even non-crafters as they are so clear to follow. I'll share some more pictures of their creations later. </div>

I've got a feeling that this year is going to be a good one. Just before Christmas, I sold my house in Leeds where I've lived for 9 1/2 years and moving to Wakefield with my partner. It's not too far a move at least, but we're looking forward to having a better house with a garden. I'll be getting back into my crafting again, and planning to start up my classes so I'll be sharing some of my makes in a few months time once everything has settled. </div><div><br></div><div>So, let me get on with telling you about Sale-A-Bration! It's Stampin' Up!'s best time of the year, and it runs until the 31st March. There's something for everyone, whether you want to shop, host a party or join up as a demonstrator yourself. I'll explain in the next few days how you can benefit from each of them. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1vgzyQ0VlfTADd6BaOtTmu64nhERq_gRhyKyk0OM0WpcX51QVB3cUH_Hfy_yPxdd1Us_treLF7fCqFZ_hlbxnIL_VIG_CUIJ2EqOqbckOSB3O2Bpf4GzkXwaQsmHi6Vo_c3gcdbMwXOU/s640/blogger-image--1870141674.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1vgzyQ0VlfTADd6BaOtTmu64nhERq_gRhyKyk0OM0WpcX51QVB3cUH_Hfy_yPxdd1Us_treLF7fCqFZ_hlbxnIL_VIG_CUIJ2EqOqbckOSB3O2Bpf4GzkXwaQsmHi6Vo_c3gcdbMwXOU/s640/blogger-image--1870141674.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">For every £45 you spend during SAB, you receive one FREE SAB product.

I've had the pleasure of meeting a few new faces, as well as getting to know a few ladies online who live further afield. I've loved the classes I've run, and hope that the ladies who joined me did too! I'm really proud to announce that I promoted yesterday, to Bronze 3, after being at Bronze 2 for 4 years! I could not have done that without you all and I thank you for your support, sales and most importantly, your friendship. <br><br>So, enough of the gushy stuff! I know you're all waiting to hear about the Weekly Deals. There's some great products this week, the best for a while I think. </span><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9rO3umRuKl4ule_zNS3_xMuaCgUQCfXznxAs1qxZkzm8ZG9Sk-EWGKidzcq0eVS1NXHNrYY190GIA7aSQPx-KElZqKhrs7Uzn7-n_I85ORB40L-jzmLFe3JMpN9mb_CWSkcSC1ClUwo/s640/blogger-image-85449355.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN9rO3umRuKl4ule_zNS3_xMuaCgUQCfXznxAs1qxZkzm8ZG9Sk-EWGKidzcq0eVS1NXHNrYY190GIA7aSQPx-KElZqKhrs7Uzn7-n_I85ORB40L-jzmLFe3JMpN9mb_CWSkcSC1ClUwo/s640/blogger-image-85449355.jpg"></a></div></div></div></div><br>This week there is the Gift Box Punch Board, for just £13.46. You may remember last week's Envelope Punch Board, this is similar in design, but you make boxes. It's great for gift giving, as you can customise it to the size that you need. To learn more, click on this YouTube video. https://youtu.be/HbPfYe3tX2M<br><br>If you want a ready made gift box, check out the Extra Large Gift Boxes, for £2.81. They are made from plain Kraft card stock, so you can decorate or stamp as you choose. There are three to a pack, and they measure 4-3/8" x 6" x 6". These are also food safe for yummy treat gifts. <br><br>The File Tab Edgelit dies are reduced to £7.46. See how these can be used on this YouTube video http://youtu.be/EPrsCwkhWcM. <br><br>There's three, yes three sets of Framelits dies, the Squares Collection, Hearts a Flutter, and the Word Bubbles. The Squares Collection are perfect for matting and layering, and the other two match with Stamp Sets in the Annual Catalogue. <br><br>I will be placing a customer order at the latest on Tuesday next week, so if there's anything you fancy, please get in touch. <br><br>Thank you again!</span></div>Alex Spencehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01442306184672588617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982808785260351200.post-2794553872688554332015-03-26T17:59:00.000+00:002015-03-26T17:59:17.900+00:00Weekly DealsGood evening!<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I nearly forgot to let you all know about this week's Weekly Deals! As usual there's some great products on offer, and too good to miss! You can get your hands on the matching Artisan Label Punch and the Label Love stamp set at a reduced price! I love these two products, and I'll be back this evening to share some projects I've made with these. I'm also loving the fringe scissors, these accidentally fell into my basket when I place an order this week. They're great for your crafting and also around the house, for doing tasks like shredding receipts. If you just fancy treating yourself to something small, there's Crushed Curry Bakers twine and Washi tape reduced too!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Good morning,</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How are you? I think this might be my first blog post of the year, in which case Happy New Year! I can't believe it's nearly February already. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's my teams first quarterly training of the year today. As usual, we've made swaps to share with each other so that we've got samples of products or stamps to show customers. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have used the designer paper series from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, called Best Year Ever. I love the colours on the papers, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Soft Suede and Whisper White. To cut the banner using the Naturals White card stock, I used the Banner framelits which I purchased in the Weekly Deals a week or two ago. The very cute bow was made using the Bow Builder Punch from the Spring Summer Catalogue. The stamp set is from Perfect Pennants.</div>

The second way to benefit during Sale-A-Bration, is to host your own Stampin' Up! workshop or private class. All you have to do is gather a few friends together, and I'll do the rest. You'll get to try before you buy, and have lots of fun! If your party sales reach over £200 you will receive an extra £20 to spend on products of your choice. That's as well as the usual £30 that you'd get to spend.</div>
