FREE DRAW

I'm sure you're all sick of me talking about this SCALLOP BORDER PUNCH but I'm on an important mission to tell as many people as possible about this MUST HAVE tool - well in my opinion anyway...lol Scallop borders first started appearing last summer and I fell in love with this type of decorative edging immediately. Anita had a pair of the Fiskars Cloud Scissors and after using them I rushed to find a pair for myself. I've taken these scissors everywhere with me - crops that is, not like in my handbag shopping round Tesco's or anything, but you know what I mean. Anyway, I've loved and cared for these scissors until recently when I saw the Fiskars Threading Water Punch. Steph from Homegrown Scrapbooks in the US had bought one along to the Scrapajack Retreat back in May. After seeing it in action I had to have one - as you do. It's been like pulling hens teeth trying to get one but I eventually got one on a pre-order a couple of months back. Little did I know that Stampin' Up! were about to release their own version without the holes! So now I HAVE to have the SU! one and at £10.95 it's less than the Fiskars one and there's no holes so I get more for my money!!! Right?? Now where was I.....oh yer, back to my FREE DRAW. If you would like to purchase one of these Stampin'Up! punches and be entered into the DRAW for one lucky person to receive theirs for FREE, email me at jodumbleton@aol.co.uk by Monday 29th September. There's only two days to go so be quick!! Have a great weekend! 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 :)
