Stampers 10 Club

Would you like some free stamps and free product?

Who wouldn’t? Well with Stampin’ Up! and a bit of help from me you can.

Here’s how it works:

When you host a workshop you need a minimum of £150 in sales to qualify for one set of free stamps and £15.00 worth of product from the catalogue

· In a Stampers 10 club there are 10 members.

· The club runs for ten months.

· Each member agrees to spend a minimum of £15.00 per month, before postage.

· Each month a different club member is chosen to be the hostess.

· You do not actually have to host a workshop – it’s like having a virtual party.

· When it is your turn to be the hostess you are guaranteed to receive a level one hostess set of your choice free plus at least £15 to spend in the catalogue.

· You also get a free copy of the catalogue.

By joining a Stampers 10 Club you get the chance to spread the cost while building up your collection, and still being able to enjoy the free benefits. It’s that simple. If you are interested please contact me as soon as possible to take advantage of this great opportunity.

Card Swap

Now that I have posted my cards to my swappee I can post them on here too :)

I made the box from some white card then used a transparency to make a see through, slip on cover (you can just score the transparency like normal cardstock)

This one is made using the "A Little Birdie Told Me Set" which is not available in the current UK catalogue...but I am keeping my fingers crossed it is in the next catalogue as it is a lovely set.


This cute little flower is from the "Unfrogettable" set and the background is stamped with the Paisley background stamp.
I used my circle punch to clip the corners of the Certainly Celery and Pretty in Pink cardstock.

More "Unfrogettable" and some designer series paper

And this one uses the Circle of Friends sentiments set and again the designer series papers.
I used Stampin' Up!'s corner rounder with the guard removed to make the scalloped edge.


If you have any questions about any of the techniques or products used in making these cards then I would love to hear from you.
Just leave a comment below or click on the "email me" link :)

This is a little taster of just some of the cards we will be making at the one-sheet wonder class.
The class will take place in the Community Room at Largs Library on Thursday 1st May 10:15am to 11:45am.

The cost will be £6 and we will be making at least 6 cards plus some co-ordinating gift tags as time permits.

Please bring your own adhesive.

Introductory offer:
Any attendees who book and pre-pay by 26th April will receive a free gift.

Please contact me by email (thefineartofstampin@googlemail.com) or by phone/text (07949 101534) to secure your place as numbers are limited.

Favourite Colours

I just love these three colours at the moment:

Certainly Celery
Pretty in Pink
Close to Cocoa

and combined with the Circle of Friendship set and some of the gorgeous co-ordinating designer series paper I have been busy making a set of cards for the swap over on UK Scrappers.

I hope my swappee likes these colours as much as I do :)
