I hope you love pink shiny things!

This week I am thrilled to be apart of Kylie's Blog Hop.  Kylie is an Australian demo who hosts training for Demo's across the world, so I hope you are able to hop through these blogs and glean inspiration from all the fantastic projects.  Please add comments and likes were you can, all this helps to expose our blogs to the online world.

This week I want to talk to you about the Co-Ordinating Products for Sale-A-Bration items.  As you know, Sale-A-Bration items are free if you spend £45 across the Stampin' Up! range.  The Co-ordinating items can be purchased to compliment the items you may already have, including the new release of Sale-A-Bration items that went live a few weeks ago.

This project is quick and simple and shows the beauty of embossing folders.  Of course, I had to use my favourite Lovely Lipstick foil card.

The sentiment is from one of my favourite sentiment sets, particularly for cards that have no particular reason for sending, just to let people know you are thinking of them.  And of course, the punch is from the new Co-ordinating products.

This is my take on #simplestamping, and it really emphasises the gorgeous embossing folder.

Thank you for viewing, please click below to continue on this blog hop, let me know which projects you liked the best.

#Simple Stamping

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.  Now is just the right time to start a new past-time, don't you think?

How did you get started in your crafty life?  Were you someone who came from a craft family and have crafted all your life - a variety of crafts and skills no doubt.  I stumbled across crafting - papercraft mainly - when I was on maternity leave with my second child and I wanted something to do that wasn't baby or work related.  Making cards, scrap-booking and papercrafts in general looked straight forward and easy!  In essence they are.....we just make it more complicated!

#simplestamping is an initiative to encourage new people to the card-making and scrap booking world by making it simple and straight forward using just card, ink and stamps.  Do you know how difficult it is to design a simple card that will wow newcomers and doesn't use all the paraphernalia collected over the past 6 years.

However this weeks video tries to do this.  The card was designed for a challenge that Stampin' Up! issued to us for December, make a  card using the note-cards, ink and one stamp set from the Annual Catalogue.  You can catch up with the video from last week here:

Keep an eye out on my You Tube channel on the 3rd Jan for a quick flick through the Spring/Summer and Sale-A-Bration catalogues that go live on Thursday.

Remember you have until the 2nd January to grab any bargains from the Year-end Closeout sale.
