Welcome and thank you so much for your visit.  Take time to look around and see if any of my projects inspire you!

If you wish to purchase any of the products I have used, I am an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in the UK, so if you live in Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands or United Kingdom, you are eligible to purchase from me, but regardless of where you are from, I do appreciate your visit to my blog.

I like repetitive stamping, it’s so easy to do and can give great results.  For this card, I used silver embossing powder on the Whisper White background panel and clear embossing powder on the Basic Black central border.  Before attaching the border to the background, I edged it using a die from the Ornate Borders Dies.  I then heat embossed the sentiment in silver, which is from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set, before punching the ends in the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch.  At the last minute, I decided to add four Pearl Jewels to the sentiment.

How to Purchase:

If you wish to place an order, click on the item and the link will take you direct to the Stampin’ Up! store, alternatively, make a note of the item number(s) and use the ‘Shop Now’ tab above.  Both methods require the next steps: On the next screen, at the top left hand side on the blue bar, there are three horizontal lines – click on the lines.  A column will then appear where you will need to select your country (only if the one shown is incorrect) and underneath it reads ‘Find a Demonstrator’.  Click this option and you will then need to select ‘Find a Demonstrator by name’.  Insert my name (Angela Hicken) and click search.  My details will then appear and you will need click ‘select’.  (If you click the three lines on the blue bar again, this will confirm that you are now shopping with me).  After selecting your items, insert the  Host Code  where prompted, which is  9XJE2ZJA  during the month of June, but only if your order is under £150. (If your order is over £150 you will get to choose your own rewards).  Every customer will receive a thank you goody package the following month, sent separately from your Stampin’ Up order.  If the contact/no contact option is shown, please  don’t  select  ‘No Contact’, as I won’t be able to send you anything!

If you make a purchase with me this month for £30 or more (excluding postage) in addition to the goody package, you will also receive a card kit, which will comprise of three cards to assemble yourself, all papers will be pre-cut for you with the card bases, envelopes and any die cuts provided, the only item not provided will be adhesive, as I find the preference of this differs greatly between crafters.

Thank you for viewing my project today – I hope you will visit again soon!
