Pinkies Stampin' Up! 2015 Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop! feat. Lotus Blossom Stamp Set
Saturday, January 3, 2015
If you have arrived here from Anne-Marie's blog, Happy New Year and welcome!! I really hope you enjoy looking at the projects we have made!
I love stationery so I decided to make a matching notebook, calendar & paperclip pot using the Lotus Blossom Photopolymer Stamp Set that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration.
The flower on the Lotus Blossom Photopolymer Stamp Set comes in 3 pieces (see product link below). As the stamps and blocks are clear, you can stamp over the first image with the next two pieces to get the detail on the flower. It's up to you, you can either start with the largest or smallest stamp because Stampin' Up! have made it really easy to line the stamps up together. This is an amazing, easy technique, only possible to do with photopolymer stamps!
For all three pieces of stationery, I have used Lost Lagoon as the main colour and have added either Rich Razzleberry or Blackberry Bliss as accent colours.
This little calendar was quick and easy to make. Its difficult to see in this picture, but it does have a base so it can stand freely and it can also be hung up using the Stitched Satin Ribbon.
If you would like to know the dimensions of the calendar, please leave a comment and I will send the details to you.
Do you recognise this little pot? I was clearing up after Christmas Dinner and was just about to recycle the glass ramakins that came with the GU desserts.... and suddenly inspiration came to me.... they would make perfect paperclip pots!!! (obviously)
A little Designer Series Paper, some Linen Thread and 3 perfectly placed Rich Razzleberry Brights Designer Buttons - and here we have a creation that I came up with when I was ready to collapse on Christmas Day!
Sale-a-Bration is a really exciting time of year at Stampin' Up! and I like nothing more than getting exclusive freebies when placing my monthly order.

Today is the final day of 7 Days of Thanks and I can finally reveal the reason why I needed some of the thank you cards I designed!
Last week, I set sail on a 5 day cruise on the largest ship in the world Oasis of the Seas and today we will be disembarking to fly home to the UK.
This was my 5th cruise and one thing I always remember is how the staff are always so lovely and so eager to please, so in addition to the standard tips they receive, I always like to give an extra tip using any leftover currency I have and put this into a thank you card with a personal note.
I think this card is perfect to give to the stateroom attendant, head waiter or assistant waiter. These 3 people are usually the staff that you get to know the most during your cruise and make your experience special. A few years ago on my 2nd cruise on Independence of the Seas, the waitress serving drinks in the main theater remembered me and what I liked to drink.... I am not sure if that's something to be proud of?
Although this cruise is shorter than I would usually like, I know I will be totally missing my cats Charlie and Bayley and will be looking forward to seeing them again, as well as spending some time in my craft room!
I hope you like this card which has been made with the new Maritime Designer Series Paper - just perfect for this occasion.
