Stampin' Up Demonstrator Michelle Last

K Werner Colour Inspiration #52

I'm in love...................................with these colours.  Great choice Kristina!

 

I used the new Petal Pizzazz stamp set from the latest UK Stampin Up mini catalogue and the Sincere Saultations stamp set for the sentiment.  Cardstock used was whisper white and sahara sand, more mustard ribbon, scallop edge border punch (of course!) and a paper piercer.  The ink colours are Stampin Up Baja Breeze, more mustard, sahara sand and so saffron.  I used the canvas stamp to get the texture in the large flower and then used a mask to make sure I didn't stamp over the top of an already stamped image.  Simple yet effective, hope you like it x 

Well Done Katrina!

 

This is the card I sent to Katrina in my Stampin Up downline to congratulate her on signing up her first recuit Gemma.  Welcome to our team Gemma and I really hope we can meet up soon.  Don't forget to send me your address and I will send you a little something.   I try and look after my downline and as well as getting together for inspiration and support I also recently sent them this lovely gift to let them know how much I appreciate all their hard work.

 

DONT FORGET:  There is a special promo this month - You can sign up as a demonstrator with the new cheaper priced scrapbooking starter kit.  It only costs £99 and the items in the starter kit can be swapped for alternative items if you prefer.  You also have the same entitlements as any other demonstrator, the fact you bought the scrapbooking starter kit make no difference.  You also don't need to be a scrapbooker to buy this kit, it will just help you to sign up with the Stampin Up family for less money!  I have a starter kit of sorts of my own that I send out to any new recruits which includes information and how to get started with some great tips to save you making expensive and time consuming mistakes.  You will also receive the items shown above which include paper swatches of the cardstock and also the patterned paper as well as a punch template.  And if goes without saying that I am on the end of the telephone and email and will be happy to help and guide you if you need it.  Please contact me if you are interested as I would love to help.

Have a great weekend ladies, it is the Padbury crop tomorrow and am looking forward to seeing you all x

Wedding Card and my first blog award

 

I made this card for my friend at work who is getting married this week in Spain.  Good Luck Anna and Jesper, thinking of you.

I used an A5 square piece of craft coloured Stampin Up cardstock as my card blank.  I then double mounted the front with Whisper White and then some beautiful patterned paper from the Spiced Cider patterned paper pack which is on special offer at the moment.  If you buy 3 packs of the 12x12 patterned paper you can choose a pack of patterned paper free of charge.  I used some patterned paper I had in my ribbon jar and then stamped Anna and Jesper's initials using the Schoolbook Serif Alphabet in Basic Gray Ink.  I love this font and the font size is perfect for scrapbooking and a great way to make your own titles etc.  I used the '&' from the Mr and Mrs stamp set which is truly beautiful and stamped it using a Stampin Up Ink Pad in Sahara Sand.  I then adhered this using the Stampin dimensionals.  It was finished off with a jewel in the dot of the 'j' and also with the stick pin from the pretties kit with some beads.  I really hope they liked the card.

I have also received my first blog award, thank you Vicki for this lovely award, it is so nice to hear that people love looking at my blog.

KWerner Colour Inspiration #50 Marker Club, Hostess Club and Ribbon Share

 

Well it's the 50th Colour Inspiration from Kristina and I found the colours quite tricky this time.  This is my little card, quite simple really (like me some of you might say!), hope you like it!

  

Supplies Used - Stampin Up cardstock in barely banana, tempting turquoise and whisper white.  The branch is from a Stampin Up set called 'Always' and I coloured the stamp in using the Stampin Up markers in chocolate chip and tempting turquoise.  The sentiment is made using Making Memories tiny alpha stickers in white which are then coloured in with barely banana and edged in chocolate chip.  Thd red stitched ribbon I had in my ribbon tin and I am not sure from which manufacturer.

I also would like to thank all the lovely ladies that came along to my Open House on Thursday and all my downline who attended my Downline get together on Friday.  It was a busy few days but it was so nice to meet customers old and new and have a chance to chat and make some projects.  I do hope you liked your make and takess and I hoped my downline liked their goodie bags.  To my downline that could not attend, I will be posting out your bags shortly.

I offered places on my Hostess Club, Marker Club, Ribbon Share and Paper Share and still have some places available so if you would like me to email you some more information please get in touch (michelle@cbdesign.org.uk) as you can earn all the hostess benefits without having to host a workshop.  I will also include supplies to complete a card project and instructions every month to help ispire you.  Details of the ribbon share and the paper share are detailed in an older blog posts but I can send the information if you prefer.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a nice Bank Holiday.
