Thank you for joining us on another Pinkies Blog Hop! We're showcasing lots of gorgeous projects using new Stampin' Up!® products that you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration. Simply use the buttons at the end of each post to keep hopping!
If you have arrived here from Jan's blog, thanks for stopping by! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
For today's project I've used the Botanicals For You stamp set that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration for every £45 you spend. This large sentiment is perfect for embossing and featuring as the centre piece of the card. I made a similar version of this card a few weeks ago and I promised a stepped up version of this card - and here it is!
To step it up, I added an additional layer using a Silver Foil and also added a background using the Watercolour Wash Stamp Set and Soft Sky ink.
I also stamped the flowers onto Vellum using Versamark Ink and Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder before punching them out with the Itty Bitty Accents flower punch.
As in my previous version, I added a Rhinestone to the centre of each flower but to step it up, you can just about see either side of the flowers are some silver embosssed leaves.
I made another version of this card and used Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder instead of Silver, Sahara Sand Ink instead of Soft Sky and Pearls instead of Rhinestones inside the flowers.
Which is your favourite?
I decorated the inside of these cards using the sentiment On Your Special Day, perfect for many different occasions - engagements, marriages, anniversaries, special birthdays and more.
I stamped the sentiment and leaves using Versamark Ink and Emboss Powder onto Shimmery White Cardstock. I then added 3 more flowers, to match the front of the card. I layered this onto a Foil Sheet and adhered it to the centre of the inside using Tear & Tape Adhesive.
I love Sale-a-Bration! Did you know that Stampin' Up! run Sale-a-Bration every year from the beginning of January until the end of March. During this time you can choose one product from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for every £45 you spend. And if you spend over £200, you can choose £20 of products in addition to the 10% of Stampin' Rewards you would receive. There are 7 stamp sets, 3 paper packs and a Project Life card collection to choose from.
Its also the best time of year to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator as you will receive an extra £30 of products in your starter kit. You still pay £99 but instead of choosing £130 products, you can choose £160 - how great is that? If you don't want to be a demonstrator, that's okay, you can still sign up to receive discount on all of the products you purchase, be one of the first to see new catalogues and attend exclusive events. Want to find out more, let me know!
I hope you've enjoyed today's Blog Hop! Have you chosen which free product you are going to choose when you next order?

I made this card a few weeks ago and I was really disappointed to hear today that it hasn't reached its destination. Therefore today's post is to dedicated to my Aunty Chiquita who lives in Utrecht in Holland. I am so sorry your birthday card hasn't arrived, I really enjoyed making this card for you, but at least I took some photos so you could see what I've made!
Its such a shame that post does go astray, especially for us crafters who spend hours making handmade cards and gifts for our friends and family.
Have a great weekend, whatever you'rE up to. I'll be working in my craft room this weekend making a project for the next Pinkies Blog Hop and also preparing for my very first workshop next month - very exciting!!!

Just For You.... Handmade Card created with Sale-a-Bration Freebies by Stampin' Up!
Saturday, January 16, 2016
I wanted to take the opportunity today to say hello and welcome to all my new subscribers! Thank you so much for subscribing, it means a lot to me and I hope you enjoy looking at the projects I make.
Today's project has been made using a free stamp set that I have earned during Sale-a-Bration.
For every £45 you spend during Sale-a-Bration you can choose one item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue for FREE. Click here to browse the Sale-a-Bration catalogue
You can do so much with this stamp set but I wanted to show you how lovely it can be with this simple design in silver and white. I'll be working on a stepped up version of this card so keep and eye out for this on my blog !
I stamped the sentiment Just For You in Versa mark Ink and used Silver Embossing Power and my Heat Tool to give this shiny silver effect. I punched out some flowers from Vellum cardstock using one of the Itty Bitty Accent punches and added Rhinestones to the centre.
Have a great weekend!
This week I decided to join in on the fun and design something for the Global Design Project. This weeks sketch #GDP018 is designed by Teneale Williams, I love her work, make sure you check out her website!
Here is a copy of the sketch in this weeks challenge that I have based my design on.
I've used the new Going Places DSP from the Spring Summer Catalogue. I love this designer series paper, the colours and style reflect my personal taste and style.
There was lots of die cutting and no stamping with this project. I used the star from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die to die cut into the circle. I then place a piece of silver foil card behind the star. I also added some of the Pool Party Glitter Ribbon behind it for a little bit of sparkle.
I've really enjoyed making this card using this sketch and I think I will be joining in on this challenge more often! Why don't you join in too? All you have to do is create a card based on this sketch, publish a blog post and link it back to the Global Design Project by 3pm on Monday 18th January. Don't forget to add a link on the Global Design Project website to make sure you have entered the competition!

If you have arrived here from Sarah's blog, thanks for stopping by! Isn't Sarah's card so cute! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
Today's project is a stationery tin and set of notebooks I've made using the new Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper. Isn't it just gorgeous?
I made two sets as Christmas presents - one using Blushing Bride cardstock and the other using Pool Party cardstock. Both of these colours match this paper perfectly.
The Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper pack contains 12 sheets of 12" by 12" cardstock and each piece has a design on both sides (6 designs in total). The 6 different designed papers contain one or more of the following colours: Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Watermelon Wonder and Whisper White.
I think you could quite easily use Old Olive or Watermelon Wonder cardstock alongside this paper, or even Mint Macaron.
If you've been following my blog, you may have seen me using this tin before in my Typeset Specialty Series. Its a great tin for this sort of project as it can fit a number of items inside - this stationery set includes a shopping list, notepad (including post it notes), a mini notebook and a gold sparkly glitter nail file.
I've used my all-time favourite centre piece for the front of the tin and notepads which consists of a die cut butterfly from cardstock and vellum. I've used the medium sized die from the Butterflies Thinlits Dies for the front of the tin and the notebook and the small butterfly die from the Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies for the shopping list and mini notebook. I LOVE these dies, which is why you will find them in lots of my projects! The new Big Shot Die Brush on page 19 of the catalogue is perfect for popping out all of the little pieces from the butterflies! Its my new best friend.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my project today - make sure you leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
Next up is Tracy and she has made a fabulous card for you today. Enjoying hopping and I hope to see you again next time.

One thing I already can't live without is the new Big Shot Die Brush. Its on page 19 of the Spring Summer Catalogue and is perfect for using with intricate dies such as the Butterflies Thinlit Dies.
Also, for every £45 you spend you can choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue. Some items are only available until 15th February so make sure you check out all of the options before you make your choice! I can't say it will be easy to decide as they are all so lovely.
Over the next few weeks and months I will be demonstrating projects made with products from both the Spring Summer Catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue. If you have any questions in the meantime, please let me know!
At 6pm on Thursday I will be taking part in the Pinkies Blog Hop. Make sure you check out my blog so you can see what I've made. Then using the buttons provided, hop through all of the other Pinkies blogs to see what they've made.
I hope to see you then!
Note pad and shopping list made using the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!
Saturday, January 2, 2016
Happy New Year!
With a new year always comes a new Stampin' Up! catalogue and the fabulous Sale-a-Bration promotion. Now what could be better way to start the new year than that?
You can start ordering from the 2016 Spring Summer catalogue from 5th January 2016 from my online shop AND for every £45 you spend, you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-Bration catalogue!
You can download a copy of both the Spring Summer catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration catalogue from my blog on 5th January. Make sure you click here to subscribe to my blog posts so you are notified when its available.
For now, I will leave you with a taster of this gorgeous new designer series paper - its called the Birthday Bouquet DSP and I LOVE it. I've used a whole pack up already. I found once I had started using it, it was very hard to stop!
I made these shopping lists and note pads as Christmas gifts. I love these spring colours so I used Blushing Bride cardstock and Pool Party cardstock to coordinate.
I used my favourite dies, the Butterflies Thinlit Dies and the Bold Butterfly Framelit Dies for the centre piece of each item of stationery. As you can see, the butterflies have 2 layers, the bottom layer is cardstock and the top layer is vellum.
Come back on Thursday 8th at 6pm to see more stationery made with this Designer Paper. I took this idea a few steps further and created a giftable stationery set based on the same design.
Why Thursday and why 6pm? Well, this Thursday the Pinkies are holding their Spring Summer Blog Hop and we will be showcasing projects made with new products from the Spring Summer catalogue.
If you don't know what a Blog Hop is, then make sure you stop by! If you can't wait until then, you can click here to see previous Pinkies Blog Hops.
