Some Sale-A-Bration Love!

I made some cute little thank you cards for the lovely ladies who hosted the Cambridge and Te Awamutu workshops...

Patterned Occasions Acetate Thank You Card

Stamps: SAB Patterned Occasions (wood: 129621, clear: 129624). Card/Paper: Real Red (106578), Calypso Coral (124392), Whisper White (106549), Window Sheets (114323). Ink: Real Red Stampin' Write Marker (100052), Pool Party and Calypso Coral Stampin' Write Markers (2011-2013 In Colors: 123002), Soft Suede Stampin' Write Marker (Neutrals: 119703). Accessories: Pearls Basic Jewels (119247). Tools: Big Shot (113439), Fashionable Hearts Embosslits (125596), Glue Dots (103683).

It's an acetate or Window Sheet card that uses the sweet "whole latte love" stamp from the Patterned Occasions Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  To get the stacked-cups-effect, I used the Stampin' Write Markers (so I only have ink where I want it) and masking.

Do you love this Sale-A-Bration stamp set too?

Petite Curly Label Punch

The Petite Curly Label Punch from Sale-A-Bration is now available for purchase.

Petite Curly Label Punch - $22.95
(129405)

(Updated 3 April 2013)


Due to unforeseen problems with their suppliers, Stampin' Up! have decided to discontinue the Watercolor Wonder Crayons and Watercolor Pencils.  These two product lines are only available while supplies last.

SOLD OUT
Brights Watercolor Wonder Crayons
Regals Watercolor Wonder Crayons
Watercolor Pencils

(Updated 11 April 2013)


Stampin' Up! have found that the new ink formula for the Basic Black Classic Stampin’ Pad (126980) smears, especially when stamped on Whisper White and Very Vanilla card stock. Their supplier currently resolving the issue, making sure they find the right combination of ink and card stock. Providing a quality product is their top priority. An excellent alternative, in the interim, is Jet Black StazOn (101406) on page 157 of the Annual Catalogue.

About Me

Kristine McNickle
Hamilton, Waikato

I am a stay-at-home mum with three kids and a wonderfully supportive husband.  I love craft, but stamping and card-making is my passion.  I also enjoy extending card-making and stamping techniques to create 3-D projects and gifts. 

I was introduced to Stampin' Up! a few years ago and I quickly fell in love with their co-ordinating products and, soon after, became an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.  I now hold regular workshops in my home focussing on the fabulous paper-craft products Stampin' Up! has to offer. 

I enjoy sharing what I know with others and inspiring their stamping creativity.
