December 2017 Card Class

My last cardmaking class for 2017 was held on Friday 15th.  My regular ladies were treated to making some decorations...a cracker, a snowflake tree decoration and a small box.

I used some retired Designer Series Paper for the crackers. The labels were made using the Merry Little Labels stampset and Everyday Label Punch from the Holiday Catalogue.  The Foil Snowflakes and Designer Series Paper used on the Silver box are also from the Holiday Catalogue, but are retiring on 2nd January.  The little silver box will be available from 3rd January 2018, as part of Sale-a-Bration.

It's a tad time consuming to prepare, but here's the measurements

1. 1 sheet of 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper cut to 4" x 12".  Then scored @ 2.5", 5", 7.5" and 10". 
2. 10 pieces of cardstock cut to measure 2" x 3.5" for 1st mat (1 used 5 Garden Green & 5 Real Red)
3. 10 pieces of cardstock cut to measure 1.74" x 3.25 for 2nd mat (I used Whisper White)
4. Enough Glimmer paper to cut the 'Christmas' letters (I used Red), and colour for your star (I used Silver)

The ornate Tag Topper Punch is retired, but the current Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (Item 133324) is ideal to use.

Stamparatus

Hello,

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a great new stamp placement tool developed by a Stampin' Up! and our Leader to Leader Development team called Stamparatus.  The first reservation window closed in 15 minutes.  It was sooo popular-even I missed out on reserving one😢!

I'm excited to advise that the second reservation window opened today and will stay open until 31st December.  A few things have changed for this reservation window:-

1. The first window had a 'while stocks last' limit.  However, for the second window, Stampin' Up! is not limiting the maximum number of reservations accepted.  The reservation window will stay open from 6 December until 31 December 2018 at 5:50 PM (AEDT) 
2. The limit per customer is 1 Stamparatus
3. You are eligible to participate in the second reservation window even if you participated in the first window

Here's a few things you need to know about the Stamparutus.  It

• is compatible with Stampin' Up!'s red rubber and photopolymer stamps
• includes a foam mat to use with photopolymer stamps
• has rulers and gridlines for quick measuring
• has 2 open sides so you can stamp on large paper
• has 2 reversible plates.  That's a total of 4 surfaces to work with
• has 2 magnets to hold the paper in place
• has magnet storage area
• measures 20.3 x 20.3 x 2.2 cm.

The best thing about it is the price.  It's selling for only $A85AUD.  How good is that?  

Shipping for this window will begin on 19th March 2018 and may be staggered.  You will receive additional communication once your reservation is placed.  To reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card details, but it will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from the Stampin' Up! facility.  Remember to verify your credit card and shipping information is correct at the time.

What are you waiting for?  I know you want one.  Here's the link to my online store to reserve yours now.  I've reserved mine 🙌

Bye for now.

Why not check your wish list against these products, because I'm sure some of your items will match the list.  Here's the link to my online store.  But don't wait too long.  Items are available until 2nd January 2018, or unless sold out earlier.  You know what that means....Once it's gone, it's gone!

Happy Shopping,
