Here's the front of the catalogue and brochure to whet your appetite

I'll be ordering copies for my customers today, so if you've ordered from me this year, you will receive yours as soon as possible after I receive them.

In the mean time, check out one of my favourite products from the catalogue - Peaceful Poppies.   I say one, because I love several products in this years Mini Catalogue😱

Pop back each week before 3rd January, so you can see some more of my favourites.  I'll also let you know how you can earn a FREE Sale-a-Bration product each time you reach a specific threshold.

Desktop Calendar

Hi everyone. At our last class we made this cute little desktop calendar. Thanks Tricia Smith from SmithsCraftyCreations.com for your free printable project I cased.

This little calendar is a great way to use up your retired Designer Series Paper as I did with the All my Love DSP.  Here's all the Stampin' Up! products I used.

Balmy Blue A4 Cardstock [147007] $15.25	All My Love 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576] $19.25	Bone Folder [102300] $12.00	Paper Trimmer [152392] $44.00
Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] $11.50

The mini calendars are by Couture Creations, that I purchased from Craftie Cafe (https://www.craftiecafe.com.au/) in Tasmania, Australia.

I can't praise the new Paper Trimmer enough!  It was so easy to cut and score the cardstock with one  tool, rather than a trimmer and separate scorer.   

If you'd like to order any of the current products, simply click on the photo, use this link to my online shop, or click 'My Shop' at the top.

Welcome to the new Stampin' Up! year

Hello everyone.

Apologies for my recent absence.  There's been a lot happening in my world that has meant crafting has taken a back seat.

But I'm back and have some great things to share with you.

I've already ordered and used the Brightly Gleaming Speciality Designer Series Paper, but today I placed an order for the Christmas Gleaming Bundle (Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set and Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack).  I didn't think I wanted this bundle because I already had some bauble stamps, but I used this set at a recent shoebox swap and loved it.  Another item I used that I didn't think I needed was the Greatest Part of Christmas stampset.  It's a Host set, so why not host a party for few friends.  Alternatively, contact me to see how you can get your hands on it.

Confirmation Card - Eclectic Expressions

My granddaughter's confirmation was today, so I made her this card in her favourite colours, cased from Rebecca Terry - www.kartenundcostudio.weebly.com

It was pretty quick to make using some retired Berry Burst cardstock and Ink.,  Sadly the Eclectic Expressions stamp set is also retired, but one I won't part with just yet.  The sentiment was done on the computer because, despite having sooo many stamp sets, I don't own anything that says confirmation 😢.  The little cross is not a Stampin' Up! item...it's a Kaisercraft one I had from years ago.

Here's what I used to make this card.

Eclectic Expressions Clear-Mount Stamp Set [147338] $0.00	Blushing Bride Classic Stampin' Ink Refill [131157] $6.50	Berry Burst Classic Stampin' Pad [147143] $13.00	Sahara Sand Classic Stampin' Pad [147117] $13.00
Uninked Stampin' Spots [141822] $15.75	Berry Burst A4 Cardstock [144249] $14.75	Whisper White A4 Card Stock [106549] $17.00	White Vellum A4 Card Stock [106584] $17.50
Layering Circle Framelits Dies [141705] $58.00	Fine-Tip Glue Pen [138309] $12.00	Glue Dots [103683] $8.00	Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] $11.50

If you don't have everything you need to make this card, and you live anywhere in Australia, I'd be glad to help you order anything.  Just click on the link below the image to take you directly to that item in my store, or use this link to order anything from my online shop.

Of course, you can always email me if you have any questions, or would rather not shop online.

2019-2020 Annual Catalogue

It's Official, 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue is live today 🙌

I've had a chance to review the catalogue for 4 weeks now and I'm not disappointed with it.  But now your wait is over.

The catty is full of pretty and fun products, and as happens every year, there are 5 new In Colours that I hope you will love. 
What are the colours?  Well, how does Roccoco Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray and Purple Posy sound?  Aren't they gorgeous?  What's your favourite?  I'm leaning towards Pretty Peacock.

As always, the colours come in Cardstock, Ribbon, Markers, Inks & Refills, DSP & Embellishments.  While all but the Terracotta Tile come as Stampin' Blends.

Also a first this year is the opportunity to purchase Suites.  This is a way for you to order a co-ordinating selection of products with one item number.  How easy will that be?  Suites, include the stamp set and dies bundle at 10% off plus other items, such as embellishments, DSP, Embossing Folder etc.

I've already received the Magnolia Lane items.  In fact, I'm highlighting this product at my June card class next week.  I hope my ladies love this set as much as I do.

Here's a few tips to help you while browsing the catty

1.  Create a Wish/Shopping List 

I've created a shopping list for each of my customers here in Australia.  If you'd like a copy, click here to download it free of charge

2.  Search for the items you are interested in on Pinterest or the internet in general

This will give you ideas on how popular the item is and projects to make

3.  Place your order

Remember to cross of the item on your list.  I don't know how many times I've forgotten

4.  Start Creating

If you live in Australia and would prefer a 'real' catalogue rather than reading one online, I'd be glad to send you a complimentary one if you email me your details.

When you shop online, don't forget to use my June Host Code H76JTE2G

Here's a glimpse of some products I like.  Keep an eye out for them while you're looking at the catty.

Happy browsing.  Bye for now,
