Be a smartie… book a party

I just love the big thank you stamp from Another Thank you.  And I love that Stampin’ Up produce such great coordinating colours of cards, ribbons, inks and embellishments, but most of all I LOVE THAT SMARTIES are the same colours.

I stamped the big Thank you Stamp on to whisper white cardstock cut at 10cm x 14.5 cm in the colour of the smarties, Wisteria Wonder in this case to match the lilac coloured smarties.  I then punched out a little butterfly using my punch and mounted it on a layer of Wisteria Wonder cardstock cut to 10.5 cm x 15cm.  The little tag is stamped with an image from Better than Email stamp set (which sadly isnt available in the UK, but a lovely demonstrator friend in the US gave me as a gift when I was in Orlando last month).  Then I added 15 smarties (maybe with one or two making it to my mouth) to the cute cellophane bags we have which are just 1 inch (2.5cm) wide by 8cm long and a perfect fit.  Such good value too – you get 50 of them for just £2.25.  A little petite punched out flower, a bit of ribbon, and these thank you cards are just ready to go.  If you would like to buy some just click on the link below

So who am I giving such lovely thank you cards to?  Well my customers that’s who.  i do like to treat them with the odd little something chocolatey to say thank you for their business.  These are for a party I had on Friday night with the lovely Claire and her friends.  Claire was very happy with her night, and earned loads of hostess benefits for herself, and has now been able to get everything she wanted from her wish list.  I have some free dates in March – and with an extra incentive of saleabration and free products for anyone spending £45 what better time to do it.

And if you would like to become a stampin’ up demonstrator we have another amazing deal on at the moment.  Pay £99 and get £130 worth of product of your choice for your starter kit, and two free gifts from the saleabration catalogue!

Hope to see you on my blog again soon.

Inside out card with Stampin up Butterflies Framelits

Who said all the pretties had to be on the outside of the card?

I wanted to make a card that looked ordinary on the outside and had something amazing on the inside, just like the person it is intended for

The butterfly is cut out of Designer Scrapbook paper and then re-attached using dimensionals so that it pops out when you open the card. I stamped the sentiment in matching blackberry bliss ink and added a little ribbon and lace, and some sparkly diamonds

Hope my friend likes it as much as I do 🙂

Lots of love
