Stampin' Up! UK! Last Day of 25% off 25 Stamps

Good morning and welcome to another crafty week at Stampin' Sarah! I hope you are bundled up warm and have weathered the storm overnight. I haven't ventured to the window to survey the damage just yet. But it was certainly rainy and windy overnight (!).

Just a quick reminder that today is the final day to benefit from 25% off 25 stamp sets. Click on the picture above for a direct link to my online store to see the 25 stamps included and to order your stamps direct online.

 And don't forget to add the hostess code below for your chance to win the combined hostess freebies for the month. So far there is a guaranteed £25 to be won! Orders need to be received by 6pm tonight to be entered in to the draw.

My crafty share for this rainy Monday is this lovely card designed by my downline Hayley for a recent shoebox swap. I love this use of the huge Sunflower Background stamp (Page 71 of the main catalogue) overlaid on to the panel stamped with the En Francais background stamp (Page 100). The colour scheme is So Saffron, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla and the card is finished with a Designer Button and Linen Thread.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about todays project, about placing an order or about Stampin' Up! in general. You can contact me on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk or 01983 609249.

Stampin' Up! UK 1 Week Only Special Promotion

Good morning and what a way to start the crafty Stampin' Up! UK week! Lots of lovely things to share with you today to get your craftiness off to a inspired start. And I apologise in advance for the information overload.

First of all, today sees the start of a 1 week only special 25% off promotion. Until 28 October you can order 25 specially selected stamp sets for 25% off. What a bargain!! Please see below for a full list of all the lovely stamp sets offered at this 1 week only reduced price. To see these stamps in the online catalogue, please click here for a direct link to my online store complete with pictures (and for anyone purchasing anything from my online store over the next week I have a little festive thank you gift to pop in the post to you to help with your seasonal craftiness. Place an order to receive your surprise gift). Or alternatively drop me an email on poulton_sarah@yahoo.co.uk for an 'in your hand' copy of the catalogue.

And if this wasn't enough to get your creativity flowing, today Stampin' Up! have released two FAB new products, Thinlits Card Dies for use with your Big Shot! I have been so excited about getting my hands on these since I first saw them appearing on YouTube videos and blogs across the pond. And since I preordered them a couple of weeks ago I haven't been able to stop creating fantastic swinging cards, perfect for all occasions. Now the products are live I can share some of my creations with you. This makes flip cards so quick and easy (and no more trying to guess-timate how far to run your die through to get the effect!).

I really love these Thinlits and think they are a fun and creative addition to any crafty stash. If you'd like to see more click the video below for more info & Thinlit ideas.

To order any of the products above and receive your free surprise festive gift in the post (direct from me and not Stampin' Up!), you can order direct with me or through my online store direct to your door. Click on the image below and then click shop in the top right corner.

 And don't forget to add the hostess code below for your chance to win the combined hostess freebies for the month. So far there is a guaranteed £25 to be won!

And just to leave you with something a little crafty for the day, here is a Christmas card we created at my workshops last month. The Christmas Tree image is from the lovely stamp set, Evergreen. And the Merry Christmas is from the More Merry Messages stamp set. Please get in touch directly to find out more about how I created this card and the products used. I'd be only too happy to have a crafty chat.

Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting to you all on this rainy Isle of Wight day.
