Maximise your Paper and FREE Shipping

A Craft and Chat replay today all about Gutting……. a dreadful name for a really useful technique!

But first in case you are reading this on Thursday 11th or Friday 12th December 2025, its FREE shipping on all orders over £60. Don’t miss out.

So onto the Gutting, its a technique of removing card and paper from layers that you can’t see. Its a great way of stretching your favourite papers and getting more value from your projects. I promise the video will make it make sense, and its not as dreadful as the name suggests!

I’m aware I’m using retiring products, so they might not all be available, apologies, its that crazy time of year, where stuff is coming in and going out of stock. Please always check the prices of individual items in bundles. OFten it is cheaper on Last Chance products to buy the stamp and the dies separately.

But in important news the Trimmer is back in stock! I know lots of you have been waiting, so don’t miss out. I always recommend you add a set of blades to your basket as well, that way you won’t have to wait when you need a new one. You won’t need a set of scoring blades, they last forever, unless of course you lose one…….. oops!

If your order is £70 or more please look at the Product of the month, for £5 in December you can get the most amazing True Blue Florals 12″ x12″ patterned papers.

Here are all the Stampin’ Up! items I used in the video. Click on the pictures to go shopping in my online store.
