Stampin' Up! Male Birthday Card

Sometimes the simplest addition of some patterned paper can just add a spot of detail to a card. Here I've used a piece from surprisingly the Floral Boutique DSP pack, but it is on this occasion for a male birthday card with no girly flowers in sight. I love the bubbles from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set especially as it was a free set that I won at the last Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Onstage event at Telford. We're there again in November and I can't wait. We'll get to see the new spring catalogue and to play with new products.  It's so exciting to get this early sight and use of new things. You can too if you'd like to be a demonstrator in my team. Click  for more details on how to join Stampin' Up!

I'm also busy this week preparing my display for the Sincerely Yours Craft Show at Newark Showground this Sunday.  Do come and say hello if you come to the show and see some of our fabulous Christmas craft products.  You won't be disappointed.

See you soon Zx

Christmas Card Club meets MAWTT

I'm catching up slowly with life and am beginning to feel like I'm on the mend so  I've killed two birds with one stone today to make my sketch card for Moving Along With The Times and also the festive bird theme in our Christmas Card Club set by Valery aka Mrs A.

I've used the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Papers which you can buy during October and get a free pack for every 3 bought. There are 8 different packs to choose from so you can save yourself £10.  There's a new shopping rewards code which you need to add to your online order of £25 -£149.99.  Your order ships to you, but I'll send you a thank you gift separately for shopping with me.

To shop just look here in Zoe's Stampin' Up! shop.

Choose from 8 different designs including the two christmas sets below

 Candy Cane Lane 141981 

Presents & Pinecones 141986

In my design I've also used the Holly Berry Happiness stamp set and Holly Berry builder punch to decorate around my hand carved Robin stamp and add the festive bows.  I'll be using these items in my upcoming Stamp a Stack of Christmas Card events.  Check out my classes page for details or invite me to come and teach the class to you and your friends for a fun afternoon or evening.

Please take a look at the other Festive Birds cards in Christmas Card Club and join us for our sketch challenge at MAWTT.

Thanks for your patience while I've been absent. I'm hoping to be more consistent now.  Take care all.
