Build A Birthday - Brights!


I am sharing another Build A Birthday card with you today :o)

All the colours come from the Brights Collection - this seems to be the range of colours that I immediately turn to these days :o)


The cake stand was stamped twice this time - once onto scrap .... and I cut out the top of it. I layered this onto the full stand using Dimensionals.

The little flowers were created using the Itty Bitty Accent flower punch :o)

New Annual Catalogue! - Out Today!


It's Here!!!

Our new Catalogue is out today ..... and you can order from it straight away!

If you would like to Download the catalogue to your computer, click on the pic above ..... or in my right hand sidebar.

Today is also the final day to order from our Old Catalogue and the Spring / Summer catalogue ......... and the Retiring List! What a Day! 

There are a couple of things to note .......

Our Hostess Benefit System is changing. If your order qualifies for Hostess Benefits (£150+) and you put it in today, you will receive the Hostess Benefits as per the Old Catalogue. From tomorrow we will transfer to the new Stampin' Rewards system.

The Stampin' Rewards system is a much simpler and easier to understand system. A qualifying order is still £150 and once your Party Sales or Order reaches that you will earn higher rewards for every extra £ spent! Full details can be found on page 178 in the New Annual Catalogue!

There have been a few pricing changes in the New Catalogue. Some prices have increased, although most of these by just a few pence. The ink pads and Big Shot cutting plates have increased more significantly. This is due to an increase in manufacturing costs for these products.

There have been a few decreases too - notably our Embossing Folders and our Whisper White and Very Vanilla cardstock!

If you place an order today and include any carry over items from the Old Catalogue - e.g. Ink Pads - then you will be charged at the OLD PRICE. All new prices will take affect tomorrow - 3rd June.





There are lots of new and exciting products in this new Catalogue!

Enjoy Browsing! :o)

You Can Create It! - UK



Welcome Back To Our Monthly Challenge!

Scroll down for full details of how to play!

This is the kit we got to play with in May .......



And .... This is what I created with it .......


Yes .... I am still playing with the Build A Birthday stamp set :o)

I chose Elegant Eggplant to go with my Melon Mambo and Pear Pizzazz card from the kit. I love this combination of colours!

The Large Pearls and Doily were definitely a challenge for me this month. I prefer Rhinestones ..... and I don't do Doilies ... or very rarely :o) But this is what our Monthly Challenge is all about - some months you will be pushed outside of your comfort zone :o)


I had almost finished the card when I found the Baker's Twine ...... whoops! I didn't want any more 'fuss' - no bows or anything - it would have been too much. So I wrapped it around my Oval layer and hey presto! Done! :o)

Here is Monica's wonderful project .......  




Several of our players sent us photos of their beautiful projects too .........

Are you up for the Challenge and ready to join us.....? 



Here is what is involved .....

Myself and the lovely Monica Gale run the You Can Create It Challenge for the UK.

Each month we will send you a little Mystery Kit containing a few Stampin' Up! supplies. The Challenge is for you to use those supplies to create a project. It could be a card, scrapbook page or any kind of 3D item.

You must use at least a part of everything we provide in the kit when you create your project. If you wish to, you can also add additional items from your own supplies. 

When you have finished your project, if you take a photo of it and send it to us .... we will showcase it on one of our blogs on the 1st day of the following month - along side our own creations for that month.

If you have a Facebook Page or if you Blog yourself, you can display it there with a link back to us if you wish to :o)

The cost of one kit for one month is £2.50Or you can subscribe for 6 months worth of kits for the reduced cost of £12.00 (postage and packing has already been included in the above prices).

The closing date for ordering this month's kit is Wednesday 10th June. 

June's kit will be sent out on Tuesday 16th June - at the latest. You will have until Sunday 28th June to complete your project and send us a photo of it (optional).
