Get a FREE Stamp Set During June - lots of Reason to Smile!

Well June isn't just about rewarding wonderful hostesses with freebies (for details of how to get an extra $90 in hostess reward dollars in June/July check out the details here) June is also an awesome month for customers - as you can get this super gorgeous stamp set called Reason to Smile for FREE or you can purchase it.

If you don't want to get it FREE by placing a $125 order with me, you can purchase it for $28.95 in clear mount or $35.95 in wood mount. This two step stamp set makes some lovely cards, recently I got my embossing powder and bleach out and made this one with it - I love how Soft Suede card stock bleaches to almost the same colour as So Saffron. The 1" square punch & postage punches are still available from the Summer mini in the carry over flier section and I also used the square punch to create the fish tail flag ends on the sentiment banner.

Stamps: Reason To Smile, Loving Thoughts
Card stock: Soft Suede, So Saffron & Early Expresso
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: White embossing powder, 1" square punch, postage punch, Dimensionals, Aqua painter

French Foliage CASE

I was part of an online fundraiser recently for Breast Cancer and one of the samples made was a CASE of a CASE and consequently now I have no idea who originally made this card - but I love it and wanted to share my card with you. It's sort of another variation on a faux layered card, it doesn't look like a card made just from Whisper White card stock does it?? 

Did I ever tell you that the best value item in the entire Stampin' Up! catalogue are the stamping sponges - $6.50 #101610 for 3 that I cut up and make into 18, topped with the round tab punch labels so they don't get mixed up when I am using them.........bargain!

Stamps: Loving Thoughts, French Foliage 

Ink: Early Expresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake

Card Stock: Whisper White
Accessories: Linen thread, mat pack, paper piercer, paper snips, Dimensionals, stamping sponges.
Non-SU! Post-it notes

Sneek Peek - Mixed Bunch

Can you believe it's almost a quarter of the way through the year already? Only a few days left to order from the Summer mini catalogue and earn FREE Sale-a-bration items.........but more excitedly only a few days until the new Autumn-Winter mini catalogue arrives! 

The below card was CASEd from the very talented LeeAnn G. I wanted to make a card with my SU! downline team that used as many new products from the mini catalogue as possible along with a couple of techniques. If you would like me to send a copy of the new Autumn-Winter mini catalogue just contact me as I'd be happy to get one to you for April 1st.
