Wish List for Christmas

It’s time to tell you about my Christmas Wish List service to you! The perfect way to let your friends and family buy you presents from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue that they know you will love!
It simply works like this:
You take a look through the gorgeous catalogue and make yourself a wish list – You email me your wish list as your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and I keep hold of that.
You can then pass this email onto your friends and family and they tell me how much they would like to spend on a present for you.
 I order the gift items and ensure you/they receive nicely coordinated items from your list, which I will wrap and send to the person who has purchased it for you, ready for Christmas. Hassle-free shopping for them, and presents to adore for you.
You can purchase the Stampin’ Up! catalogues from me for £4.95 to keep – believe me, they are well worth the investment as have such wonderful ideas in them, or look through the catalogue link on the right hand side.

Here’s the simple version:

1) Crafter emails me their wish list from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue
2) Crafter forwards this email to family and friends
3) Family and friends contact me via email address (or contact me for my phone number) to arrange order and discuss payment method
4) When payment has been received, I order the items, wrap them and pass them on to the buyer.
Please note payment to cover postage may be required.
It’s really that simple! Let me know if you have any questions – I will await your orders.

Focus on.........................Shimmer!

Pigment ink with a touch of shimmer!

Available in 3 colours: Champagne Mist, Frost White, and Platinum.

•  Champagne Mist and Frost White are translucent—wash them over your project and you’ll get a delicate layer of shine that’s more understated than glitter
•  Platinum is opaque—it will cover your surface completely, so you’ll want to use it as an accent colour instead of using it to cover your project
• .Apply it with a sponge or sponge dauber directly to a stamp or paper  .
• 5 oz. each.
• Nontoxic Shimmer paint is pigment ink, so you can do almost anything with it.

As with ink—you can stamp with it, cover an entire section of card stock or paper with it, or apply it over a stamped image or Rub-On. It works on a variety of surfaces: paper, fabric, wood (such as our Texture Cuts wood sheets), leather, and more.  To stamp with shimmer paint, apply a thin layer of paint to the stamp using a sponge dauber or stamping sponge and then stamp as usual (don’t overload the dauber or the paint will seep into the recessed areas of the stamp). Because Champagne Mist and Frost White are translucent, images you stamp with them will be very light. Images stamped with Platinum shimmer paint will be more dramatic. Shimmer paint dries quickly; you don’t need to heat set it on paper or most material.
You can use shimmer paint on natural fibre fabrics, such as cotton, wool, silk, etc., but you must heat set it to make it permanent. To heat set the paint, iron the fabric with the iron set at the appropriate temperature for the fabric. Once the paint is heat set, the shimmer paint will not wash off or smear.
Shimmer Paint can be used in much the same way as the Liquified Pearl-EX .

Shimmer Mist using Shimmer Paint as a base ingredient thus allowing you to create Shimmer cardstock, ribbon etc.
The formula: 1.5 tsp rubbing alcohol in a mini mister bottle...
dip the 'straw' of yourMister into the shimmer paint, scrape on sides of mister bottle (inside) 5 times.
Replace top, shake vigorously and spray onto porous surface. Cardstock, ribbon, etc, and will not wipe off.

Happy Stampin'

long time no blog..................

Life had been hectic and not gone to plan, does it ever LOL.

Here are a couple of cards to keep you going till I can get back on track again xxx

A quick make...................

Thought I would show you how to make a cute little gift wallet for money or vouchers etc. I have found them rather addictive to make as they are so quick and easy.

I saw this idea whilst browsing the net and loved the idea, sadly I cant credit the person whose idea it was as I did not make a mental note of the name and we all know what my memory is like...............

You will need:

A brown envelope*
Stampin Up ink pad
Stamp Around handle
Stamp Around wheel
Paper Crimper*
Scissors

                                               

1.Seal down the open end of the envelope

2. Cut the end that you have just sealed down off, and put to one side.

3. Stamp your envelope with the Stamp Around handle and wheel (I have used Very Vintage from the Mini Catalogue)You will need to do this a few times depending how big your envelope is.

4. Put your envelope through your paper crimper

5. The piece that was put to one side earlier now needs to be placed over the stamped envelope.

The paper crimper will have "shrunk" the envelope enough that the lid will pop back onto the envelope.

You can now embellish as desired.

I will be showing you my efforts next week.

*With regard to the size of the envelope you need to keep in mind the size of your paper crimper, mine was  a small crimper (with thanks to Ruth for the loan of) so I used wages envelopes, easily available in stationers. There are larger A4 crimpers available.

Enjoy

Happy Stampin'!

oooooh new goodies.................while stocks last......................

Fabulous new goodies await you, click on the picture below to get a closer look!(click on it again and it should enlarge;)

New Inks

New Ribbons

New 12x12 window acetate sheets

I do believe I will be placing an order for some of these goodies asap..............

Vintage Vogue

I have been having a play with some stamps from the Mini Catalogue.  The stamps are from the Vintage Vogue set ( 117690)

I thouroughly enjoyed using these stamps and would like to show you that you don't need lots of embellishments, papers and colours to make a card. On each card I only used 1 coloured and 1 white cardstock, stamps and 2 inks (although you could use just the one ink) Lavendar Lace and Almost Amethyst.

I got over excited and forgot to put the gems in the middle of the flowers on the last 2 cards before I photographed them! Must apologise for the photos I could not get the right lighting, left it too late in the day:(
Will leave you on a positive note though, I love the bluebells in my garden and they are finally appearing-hurrah.  So.... I had a go at a bit of artisticness and popped some in the photos:)

Ribbon swap anyone?

                                                              Image copyright Stampin'Up! 1990- 2010
Thank you everyone that came to my first party, I did enjoy it, dispite my nerves LOL. I hope you all enjoyed it too:)
Soooo now that you have all tasted the delights of Stampin' Up, here is an opportunity for you to have a selection of differant coloured ribbons for the price of one! 

I will order a selection of 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbons in a variety of colours (see page 85 of main catalogue).  On receiving them I will divide all the ribbons between the amount of people and share them out. Each reel is approx 13.7 m in length, so you will have plenty of ribbon in lots of colours(dependent on how many swap) without the expense! All you need to pay is £3.95 + p&p

Please let me know by the 24th April, afterwhich I will place the order.

 I hope that all makes sense,  I am rather tired so if you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact me:)

Happy Stampin'
