Tutti Frutti notecards Panda pouch

This project, from my All-Day Craftathon at the weekend, used the Tutti Frutti Notecards from the Sale-a-Bration brochure. Everybody made four cards, one in each colour, and an envelope box to put them in. Stamp set? Party Pandas of course!

Party Pandas meets Balloon Bouquet

Thought I’d take a brief break from Waterfront to show you this cute Make & Take using Party Pandas, Petal Pair Embossing Folders and the Balloon Bouquet punch.

If you haven't seen the Petal Pair Embossing Folders, do seek them out as they are very well hidden on Page 23 of the Spring/Summer catalogue. It's really versatile because it co-ordinates with the Petal Passion Suite, but also is reminiscent of bamboo so goes beautifully with Party Pandas.

I CASED this project from a similar one by a lady called Nichol Spoor, whose creation was made with non-Stampin’ Up!® stamps. It seems pandas are a trend so are cropping up all over the craft world.

I teamed the Party Pandas (Sale-a-Bration stamp set) with the leaves from Pop of Paradise to give him a tropical hideaway. I inked the leaf stamps in a pale green, then sponged some darker green around the edges. Lemon Lime Twist with Emerald Envy, then Emerald Envy with Tranquil Tide.

Some sparkly black ribbon finishes it off.

Party Pandas - such fun!

These Party Pandas are proving really popular this Sale-a-Bration. They're free with a £45 order and top of many people's wish lists. I paper pieced some Pool Party cardstock to create the balloon, finishing it off with a swipe of chalk marker to bring it to life.

Sale-a-Bration runs until 31st March and there are loads of benefits, the best of all is the opportunity to sign up as a demonstrator and earn an extra two catalogue stamp sets in your starter kit, which is already a bargain at £99 for £130 of craft items of your choice. I signed up over 10 years ago and have never regretted it - what I love the flexibility to choose how I work... or not!

How cute are these pandas? These are going to be the Big Hit of Sale-a-Bration this year. Yes, they are part of a FREE stamp set you can earn with a £45 order before 31st March.

I gave them a wood-effect background and a Polaroid photo-style frame and backed it with some zingy Lemon Lime Twist, my favourite In Color, possibly of all time! Fun projects are so easy with these cute pandas.
