Are you Crazy for Cupcakes?

At the weekend I took my first class using the Crazy for Cupcakes set. Karen & Rachel were my guinea pigs (Lou was poorly so couldn't make it) and they both made masterpieces of this gorgeous set. Here's more detail of the class. One of the cards is missing though as I somehow managed to delete it when editing - oops! This is the box to hold your cards & envelopes...

...how gorgeous is that dazzling diamonds on the balloon...

...good enough to eat....

....with a cherry on top....

.... and lastly the finishing touches to the envelopes.

I'm doing more classes over the next two months so if you live in the BH21 area and would like to come along, contact me at jodumbleton@aol.co.uk for more details.

I'm also offering a 'Free Class by email' with orders placed of £25 or more, please quote'Crazy for Cupcakes' when you place your order. (The Free Class is for instructions only.)

These classes are not available for purchase to other Stampin' Up! demonstrators. If you are a demonstrator and are interested in this class, please email me directly.

tfl,

Jo :)

What a Bargain!

You know when you find a bargain and feel the need to tell everyone? Well I've got one you might want to know about ......(this maybe a longish post by the way)...

In the old catalogue (p75) there are two card making kits called Simply Sent. One is 'Happy Day and the other is 'Sending Happy Thoughts' priced at £49.95 Well, on the retired list it has been reduced to £39.95 but for World Card Making Day starting 4th - 11th October, Stampin'Up! have reduced this by another 20%!!! The price will be......just getting my calculator out...... £31.96! Crumbs that's..... £18 off the original price!!

Bargain!!

This is what's in the ' Sending Happy Thoughts' kit . Firstly it comes in a pretty box with a band around the middle and inside you will find.....

6 Piece Die-Cut Stamp Set

Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin' Spot

Old Olive Classic Stampin'Spot

Real Red Classic Stampin' Spot

Card Stock Assortment

Zig Zag Twill Tape

Pewter Brads

2-way Glue Pen

Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter

Stampin' Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dots

12 Very Vanilla Envelopes

The kit will create 10 cards, 5 each of 2 styles, with instructions on how to make both of them. I bought this kit ages ago at the much, much higher price but now at £31.96 it's VERY good value. When you've made the 10 cards, there is loads left over. There's lots of the Zig Zag ribbon, the Dazzling Diamonds comes in a little pot and will go on forever, the glue pen is fantastic (it's not sold seperately in the catalogue), the Ink Spots will last you ages and these can't be bought seperately either, there's more than enough glue dots and dimensionals and most importantly - you will have a very cute set of 6 stamps. All Die-Cut as well!

It would make a great Christmas Pressie and because these sets are on the Retired List, once they're gone they won't be seen again.

Here's the 2 designs that are in the 'Sending Happy Thoughts' kit..

.... and here's a few other designs I created with the stamps....

And do you remember this?All those flowers were stamped with this set, glittered with the Dazzling Diamonds and handcut. It took me an age but it's very pretty.

Anyway, these sets don't have to be ordered on their own, but the price of £31.96 is only valid between 4th-11th October.

Make a note of this one as there will be another Special Offer coming up soon. It's another bargain but I won't tell you about it just yet however the clue is..... it's someone's Birthday! No, it's not mine, that was last week, but they will be 20 years old.

Happy Stampin' and keep coming back as I've more things to share with you.

TTFN,

Jo :)
