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.

I am........... Stampin' Up! UK's Miss Simply Scored

create rosettes with the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool

I have a very big thank you for my lovely customers, friends and team mates for all their support in helping me to become Stampin' Up! UK's first ever Miss Simply Scored because I sold the most Simply Scored Scoring Tools in the UK during a qualifying period. I'm off to Frankfurt later this month to visit the Stampin' Up! European HQ and go the warehouse to spend my prize money along with the German and French winners. It's an expenses paid trip which is going to be so much fun. You can see what happened when I went last year as Miss Big Shot.
Thank you to everyone who bought one from me and also to everyone who encouraged me, especially my children and the gorgeous George Clueknee who joked regularly with me about how they would love a Simply Scored Scoring Tool for their birthdays!! Little do they know I have them ready to send to Santa......!!!

The tool itself is great fun to use and made light work of the rosette on this card which I made for my Mum's birthday last weekend. It also makes 2-4-6-8 boxes a snip (see below) and is great for projects like rosette wreaths like this one on my blog stamping scene.

It is also the perfect tool to help you make origami boxes which can be staggered in size to make seasonal decorations or the packaging for special occasion gifts like those featured in this post on stamping scene.

If you escaped my suggestions that you should buy one and are tempted by such projects as these you can order one at any time and I'll show you how to get the most out of it or simply let you explore on your own. Just contact me to place an order for the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool or any of it's add ons.

Thanks again to all those who supported me with this competition and your ongoing support.

I'd also like to congratulate the runners up in the competition Jenny Moors and Carole Bryson. Well done ladies enjoy your spends.
