Hey Baby!

2012-03-06T13:42:00.000Z

I'm having a whale of a time playing with my new goodies. I love the fact that there are colour families - everything coordinates and it is so much easier to find that combination you're after. Here is a 'new baby' card made entirely out of my Starter Kit, as part of the CAS-ual Fridays 'Hey Baby' challenge.

Isn't this little duck cute?! I decided to paper pierce him with designer paper to make him pop out more against the turquoise card. Having never really invested before in some quality sharp scissors, I'm relishing having my SU paper snips. They make it so easy. To make the circle, I drew around the bottom of a bowl. 100% Starter Kit material!

Supplies

Stamps: Easy Events

Ink: Basic Black

Card: Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White

Paper: Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie designer patterned paper from the Brights stack

At long last I will reveal what I've been up to these past few weeks! I've taken the plunge and joined Stampin' Up! as a UK demonstrator!! I ummed and ahed about it for a long time before deciding it was right for me. Thank you to Vicky, my upline, for helping me decide. Now that my Starter Kit has arrived, I wish I had joined sooner! Just look at the size of this box:

We had to have dinner on our knees yesterday as I completely covered the dining table with my goodies. My husband thought we had won the lottery when he got home from work as I was so excited!!

The Starter Kit really is tremendous value for money. Stamp sets, card, designer patterned paper, marker pens, ink pads, adhesives, gadgets....... you get the works! Over the course of this week I'll be sharing a few projects made entirely with my Starter Kit to give you some ideas of what you can do with it.

The fabulous thing about the Kit is that the majority of it is customisable to taste, so if, for example, you already have a Versamark pad, you can swap it for another ink pad of your choice. The suggested ink pads, marker pens and stamps can all be swapped if you wish. If you join before the end of March you can also choose ANY stamp set for absolutely free, even the alphabet set worth £44.95!

To kick start my Stampin' Up! story with you, all this week I will be offering some really fantastic special offers so check back regularly to see if any of them catch your eye!

I hope you like the new blog look and content. Of course Socks the cat is still at the top, though this time in his stud muffin pose! Have a good nosey and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see included.

Thanks for visiting and pop back soon!
