Best Ever

SALE-A-Bration only has 10 days left, so don't delay making your order to score at least one item for free. Do you need to replenish your card? Perhaps you find that you use a lot of Dimensionals and Tombow liquid Glue? By stocking up on a few basics, you may earn yourself a new limited edition stamp set, a pack of 12' X 12" foil card or DSP or a colourful collection of organdy ribbon.

All Adorned is one of the 2nd-release SAB products, which I've been working with over the last few days. It has a sensational corner stamp, which gives such a dramatic finish to any card. It has been paired up with Amazing Life for even more drama. These stamps are a lot of fun, since you can colour the open letters in a range of ways and cut or colour the banner area too.

A couple of posts ago, I shared a wedding card I made using All Adorned, a SALE-A-Bration stamp set. You can see that pretty pink card here. I was talking then about using the Stamparatus to get the corners even. A square card is the perfect way to achieve the most accurate placement of all 4 corners. Measurements are given below. Just using my eye, I placed the clean, corner stamp on the lower right hand corner of the white card. After inking, it is stamped firmly before rotating the card 90 degrees, and repeat stamping a total of 4 times.

The second piece of pineapple and white card is for the inside. You could easily stamp corners in the inside of the card too, but I need the space for a sweet message to my sweetheart. That great sentiment is included in All Adorned too, along with some striking medallion stamps. It is a quiet achiever in the stamping toolbox.

You can shop with me in person or in my online shop, and by using the Host Code there will be a gift posted to you in the following month. Any of the products displayed below will take you to that item in my shop as well, for you to take a closer look. The website is fully secured, and details are not saved unless you choose for them to be.

Wedding in Wollert

My weekend just past was quite a BIG one with 48 hours of baby-sitting my 2 youngest grandsons, while their Mum was Matron of Honour for her little sister, at a beautiful country-style wedding. It was wonderful to see Mel & Steve finally tie the knot, and although I wasn't able to attend the reception, due to my Grandma duties, the the boys and I were able to attend their aunty's wedding ceremony.

Wonderful Romance was my first pick for this special card and with a matching framelit, makes it a breeze to create a layered card.
This framelit is possibly going to run out before the end of the Occasions Catalogue it is featured in, due to supply issues with a few of the latest dies, so if you love it too, I wouldn't put off ordering. And ... order it as a bundle with the stamp for 10% discount off both. You will only be $2 off qualifying for a SALE-A-Bration item too, and I'm sure you need a pack of Dimensionals or liquid glue to be able to choose one of the free stamps, ribbon packs or a pack of DSP (patterned paper).

I had only just received one of the later SALE-A-Bration picks, All Adorned, and I thought the corner stamp was awesome.
The Stamparatus was a great help in placing it into the corners, although on a rectangular card front you can only stamp the 2 corners diagonally opposite before repositioning the stamp. With a square front, all 4 can be stamped without changing anything.

It seemed a good idea to keep on with the theme and stamp the inside corners and the envelope too. Never send a naked envelope, especially when you are hand-delivering!!! The colouring with Stampin' Blends was quite basic, sometimes that just lets the image do the work.

The sentiments are from my favourite go-to for sentiments, Beautiful Bouquet. This is a photopolymer stamp so you can see where you are placing the words. It has verses for weddings, friendship, sympathy and birthday, making it a well-used set. My son didn't particularly like this verse I chose for his sister-in-law, there was another possibility in the stamp set, but I thought this was lovely.

Here is a little sneak peek at my lovely boys. Can you believe that curly-haired cherub woke his grandparents every hour, until at 2 a.m. Pop gave in and slept on a bed with him. He spent the night stroking and poking his grandfather until I rose to give the breakfast bottle at 6 a.m. We are still getting over it, even after an early night last night!!!

If you choose to use the online shop to order, you will be asked for a Host Code, which groups the month's orders like a party, so I can pass on a gift to you. Orders can also be placed by contacting me direct and can be paid for with cash or credit card.
