Stampin' Up! July Recruiting Promotion | Get yourself 10 FREE Ink Pads


Hi everyone, just a quick post today to let you know about an amazing promotion starting on the 1st July and running for the whole month.

If, like me, after perusing the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue your wishlist of products is over $169, then you should consider joining Stampin' Up! as an independent demonstrator, as you can get $235 of any products you like for only $169 with free shipping. So that works out at $66 of products for free....Sound good? If so, make sure you read on.

Well, if you can hold on a few more days and join during July, not only will you get your choice of products worth $235 for only $169, you'll also get your choice of a full set of colour family ink pads, valued at $117 (so 10 of the new style ink pads) for FREE!

Here are the 5 Colour Family options you can choose from for your free set of ink pads:


That is $352 of Stampin' Up! goodness for only $169, plus FREE Shipping.

This is perfect if you are a hobby stamper and want to get $183 of free goodies and a discount on future purchases.

Or if you are interested in trying out Stampin' Up! as a business Demonstrator, this is a perfect way to get a full colour family set of the new style ink pads in a number of new and returning colours for free.

You'll also get in your starter kit a FREE Business Pack including Catalogues, Order Forms and more, so you can hit the ground running if you are wanting to Share the Stampin' Up! Love.

So sign up anytime between the 1st and 31st July and get your free ink pad family.


Just so you know.....

You don't have to hold workshops or parties if you don't want to. You aren't forced to sell anything. You can join just to get cheaper products for yourself and your friends, because once you've joined you will receive a minimum 20% off your purchases.

There is a quarterly minimum that you need to reach in order to keep getting your 20% discount, however if you don't reach the minimum there are no penalties, you are not locked in, you just lose your discount.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. So join with me today.

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Mary Deatherage


Welcome and thank you for joining me in a special Crazy Crafters team blog hop.

We are hopping with a special guest - The very creative Mary Deatherage from the United States of America.

The theme of this blog hop was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Mary's cards.


Here is the card of Mary's that I chose to CASE:


To checkout Mary's card in more detail click here.


Here is my version:



I loved the layout of Mary's card, and I decided to use the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper as well. However I went for a Tranquil Tide/Mint Macaron and Rich Razzleberry/Fresh Fig colour combination.

My sentiment is from the Eastern Beauty stamp set and has been inked in Rich Razzleberry and Clear Heat Embossed to give it a shiny look.

(Handy Tip: If you don't know how to heat emboss using any colour you like, it is really quite simple. Just ink up your stamp with Versamark first and then with the Versamark still on your stamp, ink it again using your favourite colour. Once you've stamped your image, just add clear emboss powder and melt it using your heat tool)

I ended up pairing the sentiment with a piece of Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon as the colours matched well.

....However to be honest, when I grabbed the ribbon I thought it was Rich Razzleberry, but only worked out after I'd finished the card that it was actually Fresh Fig - the way I store my ribbons doesn't make the sides of the rolls easy to access/see....opps....it's a good thing the colour matched my heat embossed sentiment....

Once I'd glued together the banner, flower window and sentiment the whole piece was attached over the top of the DSP on my card base using mini dimensionals.




Thanks so much for your support and for visiting me today :)
