and the Merry Patterns EXCLUSIVE Stamp Set promotion

Today I'd like to share a couple of very quick and easy cards made using the Merry Patterns EXCLUSIVE Photopolymer Stamp Set.  This set can be yours for free!  Full details of how to earn or WIN this exclusive stamp set can be found at the end of the post so keep reading to the end!! (or scroll down to the bottom now if you can't wait!)

My first card uses only the two stag stamps (one outline, one patterned body) from the Merry Patterns stamp set, two ink pads from the Neutrals Classic Stampin' Pads collection - Chocolate Chip Classic Stampin' Pad and Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad, and both cards were stamped straight on to Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (5" x 3 1/2", 12.7cm x 8.9cm)

For the second card I used Smoky Slate Classic Stampin' Pad for the outline of the candles, Fresh Fig Classic Stampin' Pad and Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad for the patterns, and Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad  for the flames.

As these are both two (or four) step stamping examples, I've done a step by step collage below of how I created my cards:

The cards could be left with the single coloured image in the middle, however, I felt they needed a bit more so added the outline image randomly over the rest of the card, overlapping onto Grid Paper when stamping off the edges of the card.  I love the finished look!  Even my other half said "ooh they look like those fancy posh ones you get in the shops!"  - best compliment I think he's given me so far ;)

Don't be afraid to test out on the paper first - I actually lined up my solid stamps with the image on the Grid Paper then put the Clear Block onto it so I knew that it was straight and would line up exactly! 

So, for the details you've been waiting for!  There are three ways to get your hands on this stamp set, you could:

1 - Place your own order of £250, before shipping and handling, on my Online Shop or with me in person 

2 - Club together with friends to place a combined order of £250, before shipping and handling, again on my Online Shop as one order, or with me in person (Note: only one Merry Patterns stamp set can be redeemed per order of £250 so you can fight among yourselves who gets the set or you can be nice about it and share it between you, I'll leave that up to you!)

Or, 3 - you could place an order of £25 (or more) on my Online Shop using host code K4BU9MA6 to be entered into a prize draw to WIN the set.  You will receive one entry for every £25 spent, before shipping and handling - i.e if you place an order for £50 of product, you will receive 2 entries into the draw!
