My First Card

So inbetween everything else I have managed to make my first card for this blog.
Here it is:-

To make this card I have used Not Quite Navy cardstock matted onto a card made with Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the Not Quite Navy cardstock with a small flower stamp from the Little Flowers stamp set using Not Quite Navy ink. I then matted Bordering Blue cardstock onto more Not Quite Navy cardstock to go across the centre of the card. I then cut lots of small circles and made them into a scallop border top and bottom of this panel. I then stamped the flower stamp from the Seeing Spots set twice in Bordering Blue and punched them out using a punch, I again matted them onto Not Quite Navy Cardstock. I then stamped the Enjoy stamp from the Be Happy set using Not Quite Navy ink, masked it and stamped the Tag stamp from the same set over the top of it in Bordering Blue ink using my Stamp-a-ma-jig to get it in the right place. I coloured all the open dots in with More Mustard Pen and yet again matted it onto Not Quite Navy cardstock. I stuck a strip of More Mustard Grosgrain Ribbon across the centre of the panel and stuck the two circles onto it using the foam pads to give it a bit of dimension. I then added a Jumbo Eyelet to the tag and stuck that to the end of the panel with foam pads. I stamped another of the Little Flowers onto the Whisper White cardstock in More Mustard ink and just punched out the very middle of it and added it to the middle of the circle flowers with a small foam pad and Voila, a finished card. Here is a more close up photo...

I've Become a Stampin' Up Demonstrator

I have just become a Stampin' Up Demonstrator and thought I would make a new blog with all things Stampin' Up on it. This is also an opportunity for anyone who would like to buy Stampin' Up Goodies but have been unable to, to purchase them through me. If there is anything you would like drop us a line at:- LindaLloyd@gmx.net. If you live local to me in Essex you could host a workshop and earn yourself a free stamp set and money to put towards other items too. Just click on the catalogue at the side and you can browse the online catalogue.

Stampers 10 Club

What Is This?
This is a monthly club run for 10 people for 10 months.

How Does It Work?
Each month each of the 10 people spend £15 or more in the Stampin' Up! Catalogue. If 10 people spend £15 each this adds up to £150, which equates to a virtual party, and this means that you are entitled to a Hostess Level 1 Stamp Set plus £15 of free goods of your choice out of the catalogue. Each of the 10 people take it in turns to be the virtual hostess.

What Do I Need To Do?
Just let me know you are interested and I will add your name to my list as we need 10 people to start a club. Once we have 10 people I will send out a catalogue to you and you can decide on what you are going to buy for £15 or more in your first month.

What Do We Get Out Of This?
You get a free Stampin' Up! catalogue worth £4.95, at least a free Level 1 Hostess Set plus £15 of free goods of your choice from the catalogue (you can get Level 2 plus more money to spend if your sales are higher). Plus you get to join my Stampers 10 Forum, only for my club members plus every other month you will find a little freebie in your box of goodies, it could be a make and take, a step by step project guide, or just a little gift from me. You also get to buy some of the things on your Stampin' Up! wishlist.

When Can We Start?
We can start as soon as 10 people are interested, at the moment I have 2 people on the list so need 8 more people. Just contact me on LindaLloyd@gmx.net to either be added to my list or for more information.
