Reason to Smile Stampin' Up! Special

This month you can benefit from receiving this gorgeous Stampin' Up! stamp set free with your qualifying purchase. It's called Reason to Smile and having just got back from a trip to the Olympics I've certainly got a reason to smile. We saw Usain Bolt and Jessica Ennis to name but a couple of the sporting heroes who participated in Saturday mornings session.  It was an amazing experience with such a fabulous atmosphere. A great family day out.

You too I'm sure can find a reason to smile and gain this beautiful limited time only stamp set. It's a two step stamping set and can be stamped onto first editions specialty papers and add your own accents with ribbon, buttons or make your own border by stamping onto crumb cake cardstock and then having made a scalloped template with circles stuck onto a strip of card add it to your card.

Night of Navy and Lucky Limeade along with Crumb Cake and very vanilla give a bold statement, but work well together.  Don't forget the inside of your card is important too especially when you have used a dark base colour.  The Labels framelits are accenting the inside and giving just enough space for special messages.

Back with more soon.
