Loving those 'Flip' Cards...

And they are incredibly simple with Stampin' Up! goodies, the Thinlits dies and your Big Shot...

Just a couple I made yesterday. I used the Thinlit Card Die sets, The Santa from The Best of Christmas, the Season of Style Designer Series Paper, Some of the lush Glimmer Paper and a little of the 1/8" Silver ribbon.

Oooh - just loving these!

And don't you just LOVE the co-ordinating Cracker made using the soon to be released Envelope Punch Board!

I used the Scallop Border Punch on the ends and the lovely Cherry Cobbler Stitched Edge Grosgrain ribbon.

Back soon!!!!

I'm dreaming of...

... a white Christmas challenge - from Less is More this week. White on White with a Christmas theme.

I've been working on a few different Christmas designs for a fete at one of the local schools - unusually I'm making batches of cards rather than one off's.

I've been pinching ideas from fellow Pinkies and looking at some other blogs but this one is all mine!

If you want to see what else I have been up to I would ask that you PLEASE visit and Like my Facebook page - www.facebook.com/knallcrafting

I only need 9 more likes to get me to 100! Though I would obviously like many more. (Am I being greedy?)

Here is the card I designed for the challenge.

Obviously all in Whisper White I have used the Petals a Plenty embossing folder, cut a wide band that I embossed with the Designer Frames folder, punched the borders with the Scallop Trim border punch then scored them with the Simply Scored scoreboard.

The decoration/sentiment is from the Best of Christmas set and punched using the co-ordinating Christmas Ornament punch... I used the new Silver Encore ink pad - so I hope that is allowed for the challenge.

I was rather pleased with the result so I did a Very Vanilla with gold one - using the Encore Gold pad and the new gold Foil Sheet and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch... I almost like this more...

I also tried one in Old Olive and one in Real Red but the white and vanilla are definitely more... Classy?

What do you think? I love to read your comments! You can visit the LIM challenge blog here.

Hope to see you back here soon - I have lots more projects to share!

They've done it again!

Firstly let me apologise for being out of breath! I have just walked 7 miles along The Ridgeway with the dogs, from my home in Princes Risborough all the way to Wendover... 8 miles in total in just 2 hours.

Surprisingly the dogs are sleeping! I wanted to do the walk whilst it wasn't too hot and whilst the ground was still hard and not a load of churned up mud!

It was a beautiful walk and I loved it - but I am a little tired now!

Today Stampin' Up! have given me 3 yes THREE things to announce - so first things first...

From the 7th to the 21st of October ONLY as a one off special deal you can join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator for just £25... however you only get to choose £25 worth of goods for your starter kit - BUT you still get a whopping 30% off your first order over £150 in the first 45 days. So this means the £75 you save on the starter kit can go towards the £150 order.

You still get the full complement of business supplies, including order forms and catalogues... if you are unsure then call me and I can discuss the options with you...

Secondly...

Yup for all qualifying orders or parties of £250... rather than 'just' £40 worth of freebies you will get an extra £25 to spend! Yup £65 FREE pounds to spend on absolutely anything you want!!!!!!!!! How awesome is that? SO get in touch NOW to book your October parties - alternatively this month is the month to blow the budget and treat yourself to the things on your wishlist - let's face it - that £65 worth of freebies equates to nearly a whopping 20% discount!

That still counts for On-Line orders - just go to my on line shop and spend... you will be prompted to redeem your rewards - that is your free spend - so don't forget to do it - just make sure my name is displayed when you are placing your order - or get in touch and I can load the order for you.

Finally - and there is more!

The October 'Best of' set... It's the Best of Sale-a-bration.

That's all from me for today - I have a challenge entry for tomorrow - in the meantime I'm retiring to watch Holby with a large glass of something rich, red and fruity!
