Christmas and Future Freebies–does it get any better ?

As Christmas is quickly creeping up on us, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.  I would also like to thank you for all your continued support whether its as a customer, one of my Stampers Group/10 Club members or class/retreat attendees.  I truly appreciate you all, and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas and that the New Year brings you everything you want, and more !

Talking of New Year …

Well, its nearly time for the annual launch of Sale-a-Bration ! YAY !  It launches on the 6th January together with the Spring/Summer Catalogue for 2015 !!  Two amazing events together – can it get any better ?

Sale-a-Bration is Stampin’ Ups way of saying thank you to its customers, but offering free products for sales.  If you spend £45 you get to select one free product of your choice from the SAB leaflet – which I will be posting the link to on the 6th January.

For example … if you purchase the Berry Basket Bigz die (£34.95) and the Bow Builder Punch (£15.50) you will be able to select one free gift of your choice !  PLUS – you will receive FREE postage !

Oh .. you don’t know what the Berry Basket looks like … hmmmm let’s fix that..

I’m sure you’re also asking “What Bow Builder Punch” ?  Shall we fix that too?

And freebies ?  Well how’s this for ONE of them …

As a Demonstrator, one of the perks is being able to view and pre-order products from the new catalogues, and I know I say it time and time again, but I really do think that this new Spring/Summer catalogue, is one of the best we’ve ever launched.  There are so many new products, that I couldn’t begin to tell you about them all.  However, just one of the new products is/are ‘Project Kits’.  You will find FIVE new projects kits – there’s at least one kit that everyone will like – and everything is included in the kit except adhesive – you will love them !

There are lots of new dies, framelits, punches, stamp sets and of course, lots of new bundles, offering a 15% saving at least !

I have a new 10 Club starting in January.  If you would like to spread the cost of buying Stampin’ Up! supplies AND earn at least £25 worth of free products, AND receive FREE catalogues, then look HERE for more details or contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

Well, this is beginning to look like an e-book, so I’ll round off by saying ‘thank you’ once again.  Without you all, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have this year, together with my amazing team, The Hearts. 

Oh, just before I finish, there is a Demonstrator Offer starting on 6th January during Sale-a-Bration, so if you have ever considered becoming a demonstrator, whether that is to just earn your craft supplies for free for you and a friend, or if you wish to run your own business, then again, please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

Don’t forget the end of the year sale on my online shop, and the weekly deals … all available via the ‘shop here’ logo >>>>

Have a very Happy Christmas and New Year – much love – Cal xxx

Mad Merry Monday !

Ha !  That got ya !

While you’re here, have you seen the amazing Many Merry Stars stamp set in the Winter Supplement ?  It is so diverse, and definitely one of those stamp sets that you can use all year round – I love it !

I love this one on the left by Susan Campfield, who has used the set and the star framelits to make a shaker card !  Linda Higgins (card on the right) has used the outline stamp, and then used the star framelits INSIDE the stamp, finishing off with the ‘Joy’ sentiment from the Wondrous Wreath framelits– very clever !

 

And lastly, the one above from Karen Titus is the opposite of the first card – I love the simplicity of this, and yet the effect is amazing !

Now I would have shown you my cards using this stamp set, however, I loaned my star framelits to somebody, and I can’t remember who, and whoever ‘who’ is, hasn’t brought them back to me yet !  Eeek !  However, I will show you more uses for this set as time goes on as it is a firm favourite of mine already, and I like to get value for money !

Be warned though - This set is only available while stocks last – so you have to be in it to win it !

This card and tags are ones that I DID made using the Holiday Home bundle – shown below. Again, this is another stamp set that can be used all year round – so so cute !

 

 

To order any of the products shown, you can order direct from my website HERE or you can email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com or call/text me on 07747 465186

Thanks a million – Cal xxxxxxx

Movember Makes & More !

Morning everyone !

I’m not sure if your husbands are like mine, and take part in Movember ?  Well Stewarts aggravating, bushy caterpillar is now resting happily on his top lip for the month.  He moans that it itches and scratches, and despite me saying ‘shave it off, we’ll still donate’, he insists that ‘’it’ sits in residence for the month!

At our recent Rochdale Crop, we included a Stamp a Stack card class.  For those who don’t know what one is, a Stamp a Stack is where you make a ‘stack’ of simplified cards that are quick and easy to make.  The cards contain a few techniques, but basically, you are able to set up a production line and bang out lots of cards!

In honour of Stewarts ‘it’, and in honour of Movember, the class also included these Santa Stache cards !

In all honesty, I wasn’t a lover of this stamp set to begin with, and although I had previously ordered the ‘stache’ framelit, I hadn’t ordered the co-ordinating stamp set !   However, I accidentally ordered it by entering the wrong product code, and it therefore arrived in the Bryson household quite unexpectedly!  I decided that I would ‘have a go’ with it, and thankfully I did, because I fell in love with it !

Isn’t he cute ?  There’s also a cute Nutcracker guy as well to complete the set !

Santa Stache Wood-Mount Stamp Set

Santa Stache Clear-Mount Stamp Set

You can order yours direct from my shop HERE or contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com and I’ll order for you !

I hope you enjoyed these sneaky peaks, please do use the hostess code to support heartfully yours if your order is less than £150. If it’s more than £150 then YOU get the rewards instead! (hostess code shown below)

Don’t forget – to check out the Clearance Rack HERE and the Weekly Deals which are HERE

So, what are YOU doing for Movember ?

Catch you later !   Cal xxxxxxx

It’s Stamp-a-Stack Time !

Have you started your Christmas cards yet ?  Running out of time ?

If so, then you’re in the same position as me – time just runs away, and I start worrying that people expect a hand made card from me for Christmas, and I haven’t even started !

Help is at hand though !  I have put together this Stamp-a-Stack Class for purchase. The Class contains everything you need to make these quick and easy cards, plus basic instructions. (no step-by-step photographs).

• The Ornamental Pine Class is £7.50 plus cost of the stamp sets. (makes 10 cards)
  The Endless Wishes Class is £9.50 plus cost of stamp set (makes 10 cards plus a bonus One Sheet Wonder 4 cards and box)

The cost of the stamp sets are :-
Ornamental Pine: £22.95 mounted or £16.95 unmounted
Endless Wishes: £13.95 photopolymer

This class is available by post also just add £3.50 postage (weight of cardstock)

If you attend my crop (next Saturday 1st November), you will be able to use my stamps, inks etc. But obviously, you will have to share.

Please either message me or email me on carole.bryson@gmail.com to book your Stamp-a-Stack Class. I do have some Sunday dates available, so please ask me. Thanks - Cal xxx

Stars * Stars * Stars * (and 23 more Stars)

OMG OMG OMG have you seen the Autumn/Winter Supplement yet ?

Have you seen the fantastic Many Merry Stars Simply Created Kit ? (Item No. 138104 £23.95)

Hmmm it doesn’t look much on this photo does it, but it makes the most beautiful 26 star decorations that you have ever seen !

Ironically, as I was typing this post, I’ve just received an email from the fantastic Sandi MacIver, and this is what she has created with the kit ! You can also see more samples in the supplement HERE

Sadly, this kit was demonstrated at the recent European Convention by the amazing Pam Morgan, but sadly I wasn’t there to see it   She got rave reviews, and because of her demonstration, this kit is selling out fast !  The kit contains EVERYTHING you need to complete ALL of these decorations!

Don’t forget, that ALL of the items in the supplement are ‘UNTIL SUPPLIES LAST’ – so they won’t be around for long, believe me !

Please do use the hostess code to support heartfully yours if your order is less than £150. If it’s more, then YOU get the rewards instead! (hostess code shown on the top right hand side of this blog.

Got photos? *** and a competition ***

Have you got shed loads of photographs in boxes? Want a quick remedy to sort them out?
Good – then I am looking for people who are interested in memory keeping OR ex-scrapbookers who ‘don’t have time’. Seriously, you do NOT need to be creative or crafty, as half the time, you don’t even have to glue anything!

I can offer you a very quick, affordable way of completing your albums and preserving those precious memories without all the effort (and time) of traditional scrapbooking.

Contact me for more details at carole.bryson@gmail.com or message me via facebook.

For Project Life(rs) – have you seen the latest offerings from Stampin Up? Again, contact me if you would like to purchase any of the below Project Life products from Stampin Up! You get the quality of Stampin Up! with the design from Becky Higgins – definitely a win-win combination. These products are only ‘while products last’, so contact me as soon as possible on the above details.



Aren’t these combinations just lush?  Love those little wallets – you can keep all sorts of memorabilia in them – whether its Christmas or any other event … e.g. holiday receipts, tickets etc.

I just adore Project Life – I managed to complete a full album in a day! Seriously!

The rest of the Christmas Supplement can be found HERE

The Gift that keeps giving …

…………. all year round - Yes … calendars !
These fantastic desktop calendars were introduced to me by my amazingly talented downline Julie Smith.  They are so quick and easy to make, and are the ideal project for ‘production line’ gift making ! They’re that quick, that you could make them for all the teachers in school !
 
They have been made to be stand alone, but you could also add a magnet to the back and use them on fridges etc.,
I made mine to a female theme and a male theme, however, they would be lovely made up with a Christmas theme, and maybe give them as favours on Christmas Day or even New Years Day !

Instructions via Julie Smith

The top layer is 9.5cm square, the second layer is 9cm squared and the final layer is 8.5cm squared.
This is the template for the stand.  Score first, then cut as shown below.



Can you believe that there are still people who do not own the Stampin Up trimmer and/or the Stampin Up scoreboard   seriously, how do people manage without them ?!?!  
If you order both the trimmer and the scoreboard through me, then I will email you a document containing 25+ projects .. actually, last time I looked at the document there were over 100 pages to the document, so I’m sure there are more than 25 projects !!!!

NEWS UPDATE
Keep your eyes peeled on my blog on the 1st October for some great offers that are coming up, including for new demonstrators !

To place your order, or if you have any questions or queries, please contact me on carole.bryson@gmail.com

Giveaway and Updates!

What a busy time it has been lately !

I’ve had a lot of things and events happening lately, but mainly, my son Aaron, has moved to Brighton to go to University.  We’ve had all the stress and hassle of finding him accommodation as the Uni only has Halls of Residence accommodation for 30% of their pupils We therefore had to go down to Brighton to find somewhere for him to live, and then all the hassle of deposits, advanced rent etc. etc… Finally, we had the ‘big move’ … and to say that I am distraught is an understatement.  That’s all I will say for now, as I am a mess at the moment.  I just miss him so much

Here’s a couple of photos from the past weekend.

 

I am now back on the ball …. and will be bringing you lots of ideas for those Christmas cards and gifts …. ooops, I said the ‘C’ word ! Eeek !

Below is a set of gift cards that I made using the AMAZING Four Feathers stamp set and framelits from the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue.  The stamp set and framelits are so adaptable, and for only £18.50 for both (unmounted) and £20.95 for both (mounted), these represent great value for money !

 

Offers !

Until 31 October, host a party of £200 and you can earn for free the Good Greetings Stamp Set! Don't miss out on this limited time offer – so grab some friends, and place a qualifying order – you do not want to miss out on this amazing stamp set !
