#SimpleStamping Saturday – Happiest of Birthdays

#SimpleStamping Saturday – Happiest of Birthdays. I am going away from my ‘Not Just for Christmas’ theme from now, as the new Catalogue is only a few days away. Today I have another bright and jolly card, using the same Designer Series Paper Pack I used for yesterday’s card.

Quick and Simple Card

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Happiest of Birthdays - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

As always, my first card is a quick and simple card, using one of our fantastic Note Cards and Envelops. This card is about as quick as you can get. All I did was selective inking with the side of the brush end of Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape. Having inked up the stamp, before I actually stamped it down I ‘huffed’ on it to activate the ink. I find that when you use Stampin’ Write Markers to ink up your stamps, you need to hold them to the paper a little longer than usual, just to give them a chance to move from the stamp to the card.

To finish the card off, I ‘spritzed’ some of the ink across the corner of the card. This is pretty easy to do, although you may want to practise a little first. I explain how to do this in the video today, so that is well worth a look. I also spritzed the top left corner of the envelope, because #SimpleStamping Saturday has a rule about not leaving the envelope un-inked.

Stepped Up Card

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Happiest of Birthdays - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

For my first stepped up card I have introduced coloured card and patterned paper. I have also used some Heat Embossing for the sentiment, with one of my favourite combinations, Night of Navy and White. This is a great combination in clothing, and works just as well for paper crafts. I added the smallest amount of Ribbon too.

I knew I wanted to add some of the Coastal Cabana Ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack, but I only had enough for one of my stepped up cards. No problem, just hide the end under the sentiment, rather than wrapping it around the whole of the card mat. You see, all my little secrets are coming out!

Avid Crafter Card

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Happiest of Birthdays - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

OK, so this is the card that I actually made first (I did say all my secrets were coming out!). I had completely forgotten that it was a friend of our’s birthday until the day. They live over an hour from us, so I needed to post the card. Hence I used this sentiment, and am sharing ANOTHER secret with you.

#SimpleStamping Saturday - Happiest of Birthdays - OldStablesCrafts.co.uk

The only real change on this card was to use the Stitched Nested Label Dies for the sentiment, rather than a simple cut down piece of card. I think it is great that Stampin’ Up! included the straight stitched ‘die’ in this pack so you can cut the labels down if you want, but still have the stitching and embossing.

Which one are you going to try making? I would love to hear from you. Why not leave a comment here, or over on my YouTube Channel and let me know.

But, please, if you are placing an order that means you would earn at least 2 Bonus Days Vouchers, DON’T ORDER!!

Have I Gone MAD?!

I am not going mad, I want you to have the very best deal available, and for orders that earn 2 Bonus Days Vouchers, that is NOT TO ORDER, but to try out the STARTER KIT!! For just £9 more, you will get up to £130 of products AND a discount on future orders until at least the end of January 2021!! Go on, you know it makes sense.

If joining is not for you, I would love you to try out my Customer Service. You have nothing to loose, but possibly everything to gain.

I pride myself on my Customer Service, so am always thrilled when someone chooses to shop with me so they can experience it for themselves. I also like to share as many products as possible with my customers, so, when you shop with me I split the Host Rewards between all of you if you use the HOST CODE.

But that that is not all. If you use the HOST CODE, you can also earn Sunflower Rewards. For every £30 you spend in any ONE order, you earn ONE reward. Earn 10 Rewards and you get to choose up to £30 of current (not discounted) product. Full details are on the Hostess Code Club Page. This month’s Host Code is:

YAVC7TYY

If your order is over £150 (plus P&P), please don’t use the Hostess Code as you will get to pick your own rewards, but don’t worry, you will still become a VIP Member. But, even better, if your order is even close to £100, please, please DO NOT ORDER!! Please get the Starter Kit and save money on this order and every future order until at least the end of January 2021.

 

The Starter Kit is ALWAYS the best deal in the Catalogue!  It is such amazing value at a total cost of just £99 (129€) for your choice of £130 (175€) of products (with no additional P&P)!

As a Member of this great Family, you get a minimum of 20% net discount on your future purchases. You also get income from sales you make to other people if you want to use this as a business. Win,Win Right?

Whether you are in the UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands or Austria, just click on the picture to join the Team. If you decide that being part of the Stampin’ Up! Family is not for you, then just stop buying and you will revert to being a customer. Easy, simple, no quibbles!
