Check out this week's Bonus Deals from Stampin' Up!

Hi all

It's my favourite day of the week because I get to share another bunch of awesome Bonus Deals with you all.

I love the selection and I'm sure you will too.

I'm happy to that Sea Street is in the selection, it's a great fun and very versatile stamp set.

Here are some projects I've made previously with it.

The DSP is retired but you the crab & anchor are both in the set.

Teenage birthday wishes - Stampin' Up!

Hi all

Can't believe that my little Nephew (who is in fact taller than me!) is going to be 13 this week. Obviously that calls for a card. He always opens his cards from me with a 'I hope this is handmade' Well of course!

Here's how to make it:

• Create a standard A6 card from Smoky Slate card 
• Score the front panel in half and fold back, creasing the fold with a bone folder
• Cut a piece of DSP to fit the front panel then use the other side for the inside of the card 10x14.5cm
• Cut 2 circles using circles framelits one from Whisper White and the other Bermuda Bay
• Stamp candles in Bermuda Bay, Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush then the flame in Daffodil delight. I find using a piercing mat under your card will give a sharper stamped image when working with photopolymer stamps.
• Cut the 13 from Cucumber Crush using File Tabs die and glue with fine line of Multi Purpose Liquid Glue
• Put Glue on Bermuda Bay circle on half the circle and glue to front panel
• Add the stamped circle with dimensionals
• Stamp Birthday Wishes in Cucumber Crush trim to size and create fishtail ends with Paper Snips, adhere to stamped image with dimensionals

I glued a piece of Whisper white on the back to add my message and stamped greeting.
