Bonus Days are here again

Now, did you sing the name of the post to the old "Happy days are here again" tune?  I did when I typed it 😊

If you don't remember this successful promotion from last year, or you're unfamiliar with it here's the nitty gritty.

As the image says, for every $90 AUD you spend before 31st August, 2018 (before shipping and handling), you earn a $9 AUD Bonus Days coupon that you can use between 1st and 30th September 2018.  This is a great opportunity to cross off some items from your Wish List, and save some $ on your September purchases by using your coupons. 

The launch of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue on 5th September is perfect timing to use your coupons. I've had a look at it and there are some great products.

Important points you need to know:

• An email address is required to participate; because Bonus Days coupon codes can only be delivered by email.  

• If you earn multiple codes from a single order,  you will receive one email with multiple codes.  If you earn multiple codes from multiple orders, you will receive separate emails for each code earned.

• All order types (with the exception of Starter Kits) qualify for this promotion. 

• There is no limit to the number of coupon codes you can earn per order or throughout the duration of the Bonus Days earning period.

• There is no limit to the number of coupon codes you can use on an order during redemption.

• Bonus Days coupon codes may be redeemed for any product (excluding Starter Kits and demonstrator supply items).

• Bonus Days coupon codes can only be redeemed once.

IMPORTANT - Codes cannot be re-sent if an email is lost, and lost codes cannot be recovered, so save both your email(s) containing your Bonus Days coupon code(s), write down the coupon codes and put it in a safe place

Read the Bonus Days FAQ sheet here, and read how to redeem you coupon codes in September here.

Don't wait, hop over to my online store by clicking on My Shop link at the top of the page, or email me if you prefer.

Thanks for visiting, bye for now,

60th Birthday Card

Hello,

One of my dear friends turned 60 on 8th July.  I struggled trying to find a colour to match the Designer Series Paper in her favourite colour - purple, so I decided to use the returning Blackberry Bliss.

I wanted to make something a little different, so opted for the words sixty, rather than numbers.  I'm reasonably happy with the finished card.  The inspiration for my card came from Fiona Bradley.

If you'd like to make this card, here's what you'll need.  The Falling Petals Embossing Folder has retired, but I think this card would work with any embossing folder you prefer.

Birthday Banners Photopolymer Stamp Set [141506] $30.00	Cake Soirée Clear-Mount Stamp Set [145745] $61.00	Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin' Pad [147092] $13.00	Whisper White A4 Card Stock [106549] $17.00
Blackberry Bliss A4 Cardstock [133682] $14.75	Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper [146331] $19.25	Rhinestone Basic Jewels [144220] $8.75	Bunch Of Banners Framelits Dies [141488] $45.00
Large Letters Framelits Dies [141712] $172.00	Sweet Cake Framelits Dies [145617] $57.00	Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [142761] $15.00	Foam Adhesive Strips [141825] $14.00
Tear & Tape Adhesive [138995] $9.00

If you don't have everything you need to make these cards, and you live anywhere in Australia, I'd be glad to help you.  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.

Free assortment of Classic Stamp Pads

I have another exciting promotion for those of you with a large wish list or those who've thought about joining the Stampin' Up! family, but have put it off.

In Australia, you can join for $169 and receive $235 worth of product in your Starter Kit with free shipping on your kit, followed by a 20% discount on your purchases.  Well, from 1st-31st July, 2018 Stampin' Up! is giving you more to tempt you.

You can receive a FREE assortment of Classic Stampin' Pads from one of our Colour Families in addition to your Starter Kit.  Yep, that's right a FREE assortment of Classic Stampin' Pads of your choice!!!

Each Stampin' Pad Family is an assortment of 10 co-ordinating ink pads from one of the following collections:  Brights, Neutrals, Regals, Subtles and the 2017-2020 In Colours (that's the 2017-19 and 2018-20 colours).   Where else would you get a gift worth $117?

Ok I hear you say, "But there has to be a catch." 

Well, there isn't one.  There isn't a requirement to run a business to be a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  In fact, many Demonstrators initially joined as a hobby to obtain a discount on products and want to be part of a group who share a love of papercrafting. 
And yes, there are some though who wanted to build a business.

Which one are you?  Whatever type of person you think you are I'd be happy to answer your questions, and I've love you to join my team.

Another great thing about being a demonstrator is the opportunity to get a early look at some new products and have the opportunity to pre-order.  For example, the 2018 Holiday Catalogue will be available to demos from 1st July.  That means a demo can start ordering one month earlier than everyone else.

If you live anywhere in Australia, and are interested in getting your hands on a FREE assortment of Classic Stampin' Pads, why not get in touch? You can send me an email or click here to take you to read all about becoming a Demonstrator.

Bye for now,
