Morning all, hope you had a good weekend. Our Halloween party was great fun, if a little crazy with house full of kids hee hee. Today launches Stampin' Up!s amazing Christmas Extravaganza deal. A fantastic offer of a free tag punch (standard or small) worth £12.50 when you spend £45 or more on goodies on selected products (click here for full details). Also I will also personally offer FREE DELIVERY on all orders over £45 too.
"This week I have been mostly been making cards using this stamp set" lol! I have decided to give to my Mum a pre-Christmas present of a set of cards that she can send. I have made several different types, which I will show to you this week. I thought I would try something a bit different as her style is more traditional.
I have used a new technique to myself on it - spotlighting. I've used Stampin' Up!s 1"3/4 circle punch after water colouring the image and covered the whole spotlighted image with clear embossing powder to give it an extra glossy sheen and popped it up on some dimensionals. I will be entering it into Stamp with Us challenge for this week with the theme being Christmas.
