An Embossed Brick Wall with Birthday Blossoms Pansy Punch CASE Card Stampin' Up! UK

Only Five Days left before the new Catalogue Launch
Can you believe it? A Year has flown by!

Today I have a super simple and quick card to make using the Big Shot for some Dry Embossing with the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF)
There is a little stamping with the assistance of the Birthday Blossoms Embossing Folder. The Flowers were created by stamping onto Delightful Dijon  Cardstock using the Crushed Curry Classic Ink Pad.
The project has been co-ordinated with some Crushed Curry Bakers Twine and a few Basic Rhinestones.

If you haven't done any Dry Embossing before, trust me, it is super easy using the Die Cutting Machine (Big Shot).

Sneak Peak of my Stampin' Up! PDemonstrator Pre-order Delivery Box of Goodies

I hope that wherever you are in the World, that your day is as bright and beautiful as it is here in Essex, UK?

It is ht too hot, not too cool, bright, without that glare in the eyes that sends you running for your sunglasses .... in a nutshell, ... PERFECT

And what more can I enjoy on such a wondrous day as today? Yup, you've got it! My pre-order delivery arrived from Stampin' Up! So I thought I would share the opening of my box og goodies with all of you.


But maybe the first question on your lips will be .... What the heck is Pre-Order?
Well, Pre-order is one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. With each new release of an annual catalogue, Seasonal Mini Catalogue or other promotion, Demonstrators are given the opportunity to purchase a selection of products from the new catalogue/promotion. This gives us the chance to familiarise ourselves with the new products, and make samples to share with all of you. A win win scenario for all of us. I am sure you will agree, that it is much better to see samples of products you are adding to your wish list, before you commit to purchase.

So, should you ever fancy a particular stamp set in one of the catalogues, you can contact me with a Request List of stamp sets, dies, embossing folders etc, that you would like to see samples of
And providing I have the items available (I tend to have most items available in my craft room) I will make you a sample or two and share on my blog and also a video tutorial to go with it.

So are you ready for the big reveal?


Here we go ...
