I've been enjoying making some cards with the cute Adorable Owls stamp set - one of our Saleabration freebie options.  This card also features the Fancy Flora DSP from the Jan - April Mini Catalogue.  I cut the stitched circle windows with Stylish Shapes Dies.

Stampin' Up have added some extra annual catalogue items to the Saleabration freebie options for February.  Check the full selection here:

I quite love the elegant Favored Flowers DSP and have been making some cards with that paper lately.  Here's a few.  

Another favourite Saleabration paper is the Dainty Flowers DSP.  Grab a sharp pair of scissors and try cutting some of the floral pieces.  

And don't forget - if you'd love $315 of products for just $169 - our joining special is a really good one this month.  (Or choose $315 plus a free mini Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine for $210.)  

Make your list of $315 of current products (your choice), decide if you'd like the little machine and then head to this link to join the crew.

Have put together a new YouTube video to give you a look at a batch of cards I made using the Saleabration Favored Flowers DSP.  The first few are simple cards using just a handful of supplies.  The last couple are a bit more stepped up if you've got a few extra tools in your stash.  I hope you like them.

Happy creating.

Cheers, Sue

I've been enjoying creating with the Favored Flowers DSP (from our Saleabration range) this week.  It is such elegant paper and I love the colours.  Has some sheets perfect for fussing cutting (I'll have some examples in my next post.)  For these cards I kept it super simple for those who have just paper, cardstock, ink and a greeting stamp.  I cut the paper to the same size as my base card front.  (14.8 x 10.5cm)  Then stamped the thanks (from Kind and Sincere stamp set at the bottom of a piece of 10.5cm wide cardstock in a coordinating shade.  Trim just above the top of the greeting to make your greeting panel.  You could substitute any largish greeting from your stamp collection.  I had some of the Dragonfly Trinkets on my desk so added those as a finishing touch.  (I used a couple of glue dots.  Roll slightly so they fit the wings well.)  

I'll be back soon with some stepped up cards using this same paper for those with a few more bits and bobs in their craft stash.  

Happy creating.

Cheers, Sue

I love this Dainty Flowers DSP - I think that is my favourite from this year's selection.  

These cute owls from Adorable Owls stamp set have been very popular too.  

It is a little on the warm side in my craft room this week so I think I might take some stamped owls and some colouring Blends into the cooler part of the house for some therapeutic colouring time.  

Happy stamping.  Cheers, Sue

Hello and happy December.  I hope all your festive season preparations are going well.  

If you're thinking of some craft goodies under the Christmas tree this year we've got some sales on retiring July - Dec Mini Catalogue items plus some absolute bargains on our clearance rack.  

I just adore this stunning Waves Of The Ocean DSP and I can't believe it is still there in the clearance rack sale.  Priced at just $8.10 I was sure that would sell out very fast.  The coordinating Waves Gems are there too if you'd like something to match.  

December host code is JTWTDFFE 

Have a fabulous month full of lots of catch ups and sparkle.  (And of course lists and tasks to tick off.)  

Cheers, Sue

We have some additions to our clearance rack that caught my eye this week.  Here's a few of my favourites:

Lace 3D Embsossing Folder reduced from $17.50 to $10.50

There are some other embossing folders in the clearance rack when I checked today too.

These heart shaped foil tins have been reduced from $15.75 to $6.30 for a pack of ten.  

We used these at Christmas a couple of years ago to make brownies as a gift for all the family.  We cut the poinsettias from the red velvet paper that is currently on sale for $4.20 a pack.  It makes a nice textural element.  

There are some punches, papers and embellishments that are worth a browse too.   Head over here is you'd like a squiz:  Clearance Rack

Have a lovely weekend.  It is a 4 day long weekend for the kids and I.  I'm looking forward to some relaxing after a slightly hectic month.  Jack is busy busy - he's got his yr 12  Methods (Maths) exams on Wednesday and Thursday so is knee deep in practice exams.  I think he's done about 20 so far! 

Happy creating.  

Take care,  Sue
