Happy Sunday everyone, this weekend has been a busy one for me, but a lot of fun, and so I wanted to share one of the cards using the Party with Cake stamp set from Stampin’ Up! that featured in yesterday’s team training. Every Quarter we come together for a whole day of training and creative fun – it’s like a Party in many respects – friends, fun, food and laughter are on the menu along with a lot of creativity.

I run this quarterly day training with my friend Fiona and we spend the month prior to the event planning what to do and what kits we’ll put together and the projects we’ll use. This time, as we sat having coffee between Christmas and New Year, we couldn’t resist the colours of the It’s My Party suite from the new Spring / Summer catalogue on pages 4 – 7.

It’s Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Mint Macaron and it’s gorgeous! It also features some new stamp sets and some fabulous Pop-Up Thinlits – so we decided to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) directly from the catalogue for one of our projects.

I made a few tiny changes, but overall I think it’s pretty close and looks great! These stamps and Pop Up Thinlits are sure to add some WOW to your projects for all your party needs this year – and it come as a Bundle with 15% off. Match it with the 48 pages of 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, four sheets of each design for just £23.50, and that’s another WOW!

I had a lot of fun and so did the team putting these together and I’m sure you will too!

I couldn’t finish today without putting a huge shout out & thank you to fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Kylie Burtucci of http://www.craftykylie.com/ for starting a new weekly “most popular pins” blog and in the first week, one of my cards was highlighted! So honoured to be up there with some of the Stampin’ Up! greats around the world, and chuffed that my Love You Sew card was repinned by so many (you can see my original post HERE). I love that Stampin’ Up! crafters everywhere feel connected by our love of crafting and all things Stampin’ Up! so keep pinning to your boards, send her the link and who knows she might pick your creation in the coming weeks!!

So until next week, happy stamping, hugs, Pip x
