Stampin' Up! Balloon Celebration Wedding Favours

Today I'm at the biannual Stampin' Up! Onstage Event at Telford International Centre.  It's a gathering of the crazy Stampin' Up! folk from all over the UK.  We're here to learn about new products coming your way in June and also to get our hands on the new catalogue.  

I'm sharing my team swaps with you today.  I've adapted the Stampin' Up! Bakers Box and added a fun twist using lolly sticks and the balloons punched out of brights card stock.  I've also used Balloon Celebrations stamp set to add some images to the black boxes.  These were stamped in whisper white craft ink, which is a pigment ink so it needs time to dry or you can use it to heat emboss adding clear or white embossing powder before the ink dries then heating with your heat gun. I choose to just let it dry and it gives a kind of chalk board effect which is fun with these bright balloons.  These would make fabulous favours for children's birthdays of weddings. 

Each box contains some treats in the form of mini Tic Tac boxes in different flavours and a mini hand cream tube.  An eclectic mix of treats true!!!

Come back tomorrow and I'll be sharing one of my card swaps that I made to share with other demos to get different ideas and inspiration in return.

Have a good Saturday. I know I will be.

Stampin' Up! Balloon Celebrations

You could be forgiven for thinking I'd named this post incorrectly, but these sweet delicate dandelion head stamps are all part of the Stampin' Up! set Balloon Celebrations.  It's an awesome set of stamps that could pretty much cover most events in your annual calendar.

Here I stamped first in archival basic black ink onto whisper white card and then embossed in gold on basic black card and then raised the basic black layer with stampin' dimensionals.  I used post it notes to cover parts that I didn't want to stamp again to ensure that it appears that complete seed heads are visible, but that each part is the correct colour on it's background.

Simple, but effective.  The lovely hand scripted sentiment is part of the What I Love free Saleabration stamp set which you can have in your stash with a purchase of £45.

Stampin' Up! Balloon Celebrations along with the Balloon Bouquet punch and a couple of inks pads is one way of building a bundle of products to earn the free set.

You can buy these and other Stampin' Up! products in my Stampin' Up! online Shop.

Stampin' Up! Balloon Celebration Bundle

Stampin' Up! has produced yet another stunning Spring catalogue that I will be able to share with you from 5 January, but until then I'm only allowed to share sneak peeks.   This gorgeous bundle of  products includes the new Balloon Celebration stamp set and Balloon Bouquet punch.  They come as a bundle which makes the purchase even sweeter and it won't take up all your christmas gift money that you receive from Santa next week.

I made several of this card design to congratulate some lovely friends in my team who have recently achieved milestones or targets.  I like vibrant colours and took these from the subtles and brights colour collections.  The 'Way to Go' stamp is from the Bravo set in the annual catalogue and the scripted 'Congratulations'  is part of the new Balloon Celebration.  You'll see soon that there aren't just balloons in this set, but for the moment we're celebrating success and so balloons are just perfect.

The punch has two balloon sizes to punch and as you would expect fits nicely around two sizes of balloon stamps in the set.

Congratulations to all who are celebrating. If you'd like to know more about joining the celebration by earning your own success and rewards with my help please take a look at my 'join Stampin' Up! page' and please feel free to contact me for further information.  The new year brings lots of exciting new products and promotions so is one of the better times to join our fun, friendly team.

More soon Zx
