Sale-A-Bration is here!!

Well, it's that time of year again when a £45 order will qualify you for FREE product, some of which I have used for this project . . 

As always, my creation is understated to highlight the gorgeous detail of this embossing folder. 

As I will try and show you over this offer time period, I have managed to get quite carried away with the demonstrators luck of getting sensational Stampin' Up! products before the actual launch - hee hee hee!

Card stock & Ink: Very Vanilla & Rich Razzleberry

Stamp sets: Sale-A-Bration Pretty Petites with MATCHING Petite Curly Label Punch, Beautiful Birthday stamp on the envelope.

Misc: Elegant Lines Embossing folder, Victoria Crochet Trim and of course Pearl Basic Jewels

It's also the 25th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! and to celebrate they have added even more FREE PRODUCT possibilities if you host a Party during the Sale-A-Bration period, click on the link in the right side bar to see the details.

Time flutters by . . .

. . . those of you who have stopped by my blog will know that I have a very poor grasp of time, and somehow all my friends are experiencing Birthdays with a zero on the end, and before you know it that will be me too! Anyhow, some of my dearest friends have reached it before me ;-)

For my fabulous December Birthday friend who has a passion for Black I made this card

Card stock: Sahara Sand, Basic Black, Silver Glimmer Paper, Retired Mocha Morning DSP

Stamp Set: Papillion Potpourri

Ink: Basic Black

Misc: Basic Black 3/8" taffeta ribbon, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Simple Numbers Bigz Die, Rhinestones

This Butterfly stamp set is really gorgeous and the matching punch allowed me to punch a glimmer butterfly that I then cut in half to allow a shimmery edge for the butterfly wings, who can ever have enough sparkle?
