A bargain and a video tutorial to brighten your weekend!

Everybody's talking about the 'join Stampin' Up for only £25' offer! But what's it all about?! Well, the Stampin' Up starter kit is normally £99 (a great bargain as you get to choose £130 of products to put in your kit and you get free business supplies too); but as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, Stampin' Up has devised a way for you to experience for yourself the discounts, the resources and the family feel of belonging to the Stampin' Up family for only £25. There are no strings attached and if you don't feel it's for you, there are no penalties for dropping. Here are the details:

• For two weeks only (7th October - 21st October) the usual starter kit will be suspended and you'll be able to buy a starter kit for only £25. You'll get to choose items worth £26.95 and will get business supplies for free.

• You can buy the kit just for yourself or you can decide to share Stampin' Up with family and friends.

• After you've received your starter kit, you'll get a 30% discount on your first order of £150 or more placed within 45 days.

• You'll get 20% discount on orders of any amount after that.

• You'll only need to place orders of £275 or more by 30th April 2014 to be able to carry on being a Stampin' Up demo!

• There'll be lots of chances to earn freebies if you choose - and you'll also be in time to book yourself in for Stampin' Up's exciting 25th anniversary Convention in Manchester!

If you'd like to know more, feel free to email me or phone me on 01280 820593 for a 'no pressure' chat.

And now for something quite different:
I was staring at a Ferrero Rocher chocolate the other day, wondering whether I could turn it into a pumpkin...


... and this is the result! How did I make them? Well, I've put together a video tutorial so you can see!



I am frequently asked to do video tutorials and today's pumpkin treat is hopefully the start of a whole series of them. Even if you don't celebrate halloween, you'll love this quick little treat box, and it could work as an apple for going back to school treats, or a tangerine for Christmas...

I was rather late with this post today so I do apologise if you were wondering where I was. My daughter made me laugh at breakfast the other day when she turned up late and I asked crossly where she'd been and complained that her breakfast was going cold. "Never," she said, "ask a girl who wears cats-eye eye-liner why she's late!"

Have a great weekend, enjoy world cardmaking day and I'll see you soon,

    hi Vicky - wow you made it all look so easy. An absolutely brilliant tutorial and would love to use this for some seasonal treats - that is, as long as the choccies remain intact in readiness for wrapping of course!
    Just wonderful.

    best wishes

    Bravo on the video tutorial, you're a natural and I look forward to more :0)
    It was fun seeing how you made the little pumpkins although opening it and eating the choccy to see how you made it, was also a good idea :0)
