I am blog hopping with the Art with Heart Stampin Up Team, where some of the girls in the team have got together to show off our lovely Designer Series Paper Packs on special during May! Great if you are a scrap-booker, especially as 1 May is National Scrapbooking Day. I also have news of a new way to join Stampin' Up and how to get some free papers ..... find out more at the bottom of this post.
Its been too long between scrapbooking pages .... I loved putting this together. I've used the Well Worn DSP pack - a favourite of mine.
The flowers are made with the Blossoms punch from the new Autumn Winter Mini. I've 'matted' the flower with a coordinating colour to create an edge to the petals. I've also used the punch to create a border by cutting up the little petals into individual pieces.
The centres of the flowers are 1" circles of DSP which I have ran through the Lattice Embossing folder and a piece of seam binding tied in a knot. The little butterflies are have hemp twine detailing too.
This photo was taken during our Easter break at Raymond Island - just as the sun was setting - Olivia is now 16 1/2 and having changed schools and circle of friends, she is now more confident and happy. A simple task of just letting her hair dry 'au natural' rather than straightening it to within an inch of its life is so significant - this time last year she wouldn't have left the house without everything being 'just so'.
Designer Series Papers Special Offer - buy 3 get one FREE
During the month of May, for every 3 packs of DSP you purchase you choose an extra pack for free - that's a saving of up to $18.95. Speciality packs are not included.
New Demo News
Now for some breaking news ..... from today, there's a new way to join Stampin' Up! It's only $169 to become a demonstrator now and the best news is that you can now choose anything you like to go in your kit!
So if you've been an avid customer for a while and have built up your stash of goodies, there is no need to replicate what you have already. You can choose whatever you want.
As an added incentive to join, any who recruits in May will receive a pack of DSP every month from May until December 2012 for FREE. This includes packs from any publication - so that's new packs of DSP too - that's $151.60 of free products (you will need to pay shipping).
The Art With Heart Team is a great group of crafters spread throughout Australia who communicate and share online and in person at stamping days. We would love to have new members join our team.
You can contact me on 0428 254 952 or email me at nikki@inkyart.com.au anytime and I would be happy to answer any questions you have - or send out an information pack. No pressure, just ask any questions you have and then decide if this is for you.
Okay now its time to hop along to the next blog stop - the lovely Ros Davidson
Hope you enjoy the blog hop and I'll be seeing you very soon.
