Virtual Hostess Club

Hello ever wondered what a Virtual Hostess club entails?
Well here is a bit more info about them.
A Virtual Hostess club is an opportunity for you to build a nice collection of NEW StampinUp! products over a period of time while spreading the cost and ensuring you are still receiving the fantastic hostess benefits associated with a qualifying order.
A qualifying order has a value of minimum £150. For this the hostess is eligible to the following FREE benefits
-One level one hostess stamp set of her choice( those are sets that cannot be bought, they can only be earned free with qualifying orders of £150 or more)
-£15.00 worth of free products to be spent as you wish in the catalogue.

So here comes our Virtual Workshop: 10 people get together ( I will advertise for those people you don't have to provide 10 of them yourself, although of course if you know a crafting buddy who will love being part of this please let her/him know) and form a club, the club runs for 10 months, each member agrees to place a minimum order of £15.00/ month plus p&p.
This will give us the minimum qualifying order we need every month. Each month a DIFFERENT member in the club gets to be the hostess and collects all the free benefits associated with that month's total. By the end of the 10 months all the members in the club will have had their turn to be the hostess.
Is as easy as that and each month a box of goodies will drop on your doorstep.You will also get a FREE copy of the catalogue and any mini catalogues released throughout the club duration plus free samples, projects and freebies a few times/club.

Two challenges in one

Now for something different, Had a bit of a tidy up in the office and found my box of Basic Grey papers which I had completely forgotten about so thought I would have a change and user some of the older stash I have laying around.

I found this sketch over at The Sweet Stop Blog
http://sweetstopsketches.blogspot.com/ (Sorry still cant do the here thingy)
And then the theme over at Anyone for Anya Blog
http://anyoneforanya.blogspot.com/

The theme this week is BE DAZZLED so incorporated them both on this one card.

I used my trusty pro markers to colour this gorgeous image.

Very cute indeed.

Quick Thank you cards

As I am pushed for time at the moment, Just not enough time in my day to fit everything in, I needed a few thank you cards for some friends who are helping me keep things moving around here. Obviously I reached straight for my Stampin Up punches and came up with these little beauties. This new two step Bird Punch is fab, its not only easy to use but is in a new slim line design so is nice and easy to store too.

Kraft card stock was used for the bases and then I raided my scrap box again for some scraps in other colours to make up the birds. I have added some tiny crystals as eyes.

Got another children's party to go to today but at least its an indoors one as its raining, unlike yesterday when I spent six hours on a beach, where it showered us with rain every half hour.

Quick Cards

I don't know about you but sometimes you need to make lots of cards and quickly, I,m always last minute with everything so having a few quick and easy ideas for cards is a must.
The first card is using the Bella Toile stamp, is perfect for quick cards as its a background stamp, it instantly uses a lot of the space on the card, You just need to add a few embellishments and a sentiment, I used the 5 Petal Flower punch and the gorgeous Filigree designer brads make perfect flower centers, I have added extra dimension on the bottom layer by using the Eyelet border punch. When all layered together you have a stunning card which takes less than five minutes to make. Perfect.


This next card was even quicker, by using a few layers of card stock and then punching the handbags from the Round Tab punch (I used scraps from my box) the handles are punch using Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches and the bag closures are the Word Window punch.
Another simple yet pretty card.

Hope you like them.
