Oh Happy Day!

Hi Crafters,

I was away last week for a family wedding and although the weather was terrible, the wedding was beautiful! I might be a bit biased but I think my 2 year old niece stole the show!

I'm back to the craft room and it's time to celebrate as the Daisy Punch and Delightful Daisy Bundle are available to order!  I would highly recommend the bundle - it's really versatile and you can use the punch separately too.

I have a confession!  I really struggle to use patterned papers in my projects!  I have been trying to use it more often as I have mountains of the stuff!  This is a clean and simple design perfect for beginners.  

I have used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper in Powder Pink, accented with some washi tape which comes in a set of five in a pink theme.  I cut two daisies using the Daisy Punch in Gold Glimmer Paper and attached with Fast Fuse.  The sentiment comes from the Happiest of Days stamp set and I heat embossed this in gold.  

Don't forgot that the Bonus Days promotion ends on Monday 31 July.  This means that for every £45 you spend, you receive a £4.50 coupon towards an order in August.  A great way to save on your wish list.

If you would like to earn an ever bigger discount, why not join my team and become an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  It is heaps of fun and you can earn free products delivered straight to your door.  If you would like more information on either of these promotions, please see my post giving all the details.

Happy crafting,
Rachel

New Product Alert!

Hi Crafters,

If you haven't heard about the new embossing paste from Stampin' Up!, this post will reveal all!  I have longed for this product and Stampin' Up! delivered again.  Along with the new embossing paste, four new masks have been released.  Each pattern is very usable and has multiple uses.

I created a card blank from Powder Pink cardstock and then went about adding my paste to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I masked a section for the sentiment and applied the paste with a plastic palette knife.  It's just a simple as spreading butter on a slice of bread!  The masks must be submerged in cold water as soon as you have finished applying your design.  If the paste hardens on the mask, the design will be compromised.  

I inked my sentiment in Archival Black and stamped directly over the top of the embossing paste.  It worked a treat!  I used Stampin' Write Markers to colour the image in Powder Pink and Lemon Lime Twist.  I can't get enough of that colour!

Do let me know if you plan to have a go at embossing paste.  Did you know you can colour the paste with any of Stampin' Up! reinkers.  Perfectly co-ordinated paste to match any card.

Happy crafting,
Rachel x
