Exciting news!

I am now officially an independent Stampin'Up demonstrator!
I have seen their products used in magazine projects and through a friend I was introduced to a lovely lady called Marianne, a Stampin' Up demonstrator. I was hostess for a Stampin' Up party at my house in March where Marianne demonstrated & I've been in love with their products ever since. My wish list from the gorgeous catalogue just keeps growing so I decided to take the plunge & become a demonstrator myself :)

My starter kit arrived last week, so I treated myself to a night off from revision on Saturday to watch BGT & have a play with my new stash. I made a couple of very quick cards ...



This was stamped with marina mist ink using the stamp set Just believe. I was going to tear the white card too but got carried away sticking!



The 'friends' card was stamped with melon mambo & pretty in pink ink using the stamp set Greenhouse Garden. This uses the 2 step stamping method which gives a lovely effect. It's not quite aligned properly, but this will be fixed once I have the stamp-a-ma-jig.

The bird is from one of my favourite stamp sets in the mini catalogue, Nature Walk, stamped with early espresso ink. The greenery & sentiment are stamped with old olive & a real red Stampin' write marker.

I think my blog needs a bit of a makeover & some Stampin' Up links, so 'bare with' as my daughter keeps saying & it will be updated in a few weeks.
Now back to revision. And if you see me posting on here or conducting anything that resembles crafting before 14th June, gimme a slap :)

Take care, & thanks for popping by x
