Beautiful Friendship

Well that's another Christmas gone in a flash! I hope you all had a lovely time with your loved ones? My Christmas Day was a very quiet affair especially after Steph left at 11am to go home with her partner. Simon's mum and dad came for the day despite Irene not feeling too good with her bad leg. Sadly, also I had developed a cold which got worse throughout the day, so I was glad that after cooking the dinner I could just put my feet up and relax! It was lovely to see the girls in some capacity though and I will just have to get used to quieter Christmases I think. It does have some bonuses because Simon and I can just please ourselves to what we do.

Before Christmas, it was a little hectic to say the least!! I'm sure that all of you busy ladies know all about that! However, we still have birthdays in December to think about, and I'm never organised enough to plan ahead for these events. One of my loyal card class members Carole was celebrating her 70th birthday on December 12th, so of course I had to make her a special card. Carole has also been a valued team member in the past too! I chose to use the gorgeous stamp set called 'Beautiful Friendship' from Stampin' Up! It's in the main catalogue and I actually overlooked it at first but then I began to see some beautiful cards being made with it from others.

Despite the appearance of the card, you can actually create a stunning card quite quickly because of the stamp design. It includes both Hydrangeas and Roses, which are two of my favourites. I was very pushed for time so I took my inspiration from Pinterest, something that I try not to do too often, although of course there is no shame in doing a CASE( Copy And Share Everything). I came across a stunning card by Patty Bennett, so a huge thanks to her. I hope you like it, I was very pleased with it. I hope Carole was too!

Back to the present now, I'm excited to be preparing for the new Mini Catalogue that will be launched on January 3rd 2020. I only have a week to get some samples made in anticipation for my Open Day which will be held at my house on January 4th. We will be making a simple card and browsing through the new catalogues, including the extra bonus Sale-a-Bration( SAB) catalogue. This is the best time of the year in my opinion regards to Stampin' Up! not only because every £45 that you spend you get to choose a free product but also there is a fabulous joining offer!

You can buy the starter kit for £99 and get £130 of products of your choice plus business supplies should you require them( these alone are valued at (£45). Plus free postage and packaging worth £4.95. This alone is a fabulous opportunity which is offered throughout the year, but during the SAB period between January 3rd and March 31st the bonuses are just amazing!!

Extra to all of the above is:

* A stamp set of your choice from any current catalogues.( Excluding host sets and SAB items).
* Plus a Mini Cutter which matches the recently released one.

* Plus a Sample pack of Designer Series Paper from the New Mini Catalogue and SAB catalogue.

There must be a trick you're asking? You get all of the above for just £99!!?
There is no trick, and there is no other commitment either. Of course I would love for you to stay as a member on my team, to benefit from the further discounts of 20% plus that you can earn, not to mention the fabulous team training days that are on offer and amazing conventions that Stampin' Up! offer. You can benefit from this fantastic offer either as a hobby demonstrator or take it further and use it as a business opportunity, the choice is yours!
