Happiness Blooms Memories and More

Hi everyone,

If you're anything like me, the part of cardmaking you dislike the most is the preparation.  I simply detest cutting card stock for bases and layers.  So, today I'm showing you how to avoid the cutting.

When I saw the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Cards & Envelopes and the Card Pack in the 2019 Occasions Catalogue, I knew I had to order some.  The benefit of purchasing these products is that if you don't want to stamp, or are new to stamping, you don't need to.

I finally got around to making some cards last weekend, so I thought I'd show you the finished cards.  My inspiration came from Kylie Bertucci (craftykylie.com), Katrina Duffell (inkpapergirl.com) and of course the catalogue.

You can make your cards as simple or fancy as you like..it's entirely your choice.  I opted to use some other sentiments and embellishments.  What do you think?  I like the versatility.  It's not clear in the photos, but some of the cards have a glossy finish on the flowers.

My goodness, look at the products I used for some quick and easy cards, that don't require stamping :-)  A few of the products I used are currently available in the Occasions catalogue or as part of Sale-a-Bration.

Sale-A-Bration Order Status Update

Wow, this years Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogues have so many amazing products that some are selling quickly, which means inventory is low.

Here is an inventory status update of some products.

"The Organdy Ribbon Combo pack may be one of our most popular Sale-A-Bration items ever.  

It's been so popular in fact, that it has exceeded our product forecast.  We have shipments coming in, but because this item has been in such high demand, it will most likely not last until the end of Sale-A-Bration (31st March 2019).

In the event that our inventory of Organdy Ribbon Combo packs is depleted, we will be forced to turn off this item"

"Sales for the following items have exceeded our forecast.  Although not currently on backorder, we expect to deplete our inventory of these products within 2 weeks; they will no longer be orderable as soon as inventory is depleted."

Important note:  Both the amazing Butterfly Duet Punch and the Cake Builder Punch will CARRY OVER into the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue

2019 Sale-A-Bration

Yay,  It's time again for Stampin' Up!'s Sale-A-Bration.

If you haven't heard of Sale-A-Bration (SAB), it's a promotion that runs from today 3rd January until 31st March, 2019 that rewards you for shopping, hosting a party or joining.

The Occasions Catalogue has some gorgeous products in it, many of which link back to the Annual Catalogue.  And the freebies in the SAB catalogue are fabulous too.

So, here's three ways you can get your hands on some freebies.

For every $A90 you spend, you can choose an item from the SAB catalogue.  There are 2 reward levels, which give you more flexibility and options.  For example, when you spend:

• $A90 you can choose one level 1 item
• $A180 you can choose one level 2 item, or two level 1 items
• $A270 you have the option of three level 1 items, or one level 1 and one level 2 item

When you host a qualifying party during the SAB period, you are rewarded with $40 more in freebies.  How good is that?  The $40 can even be put towards the cost of your Starter Kit, if you decide to become a Stampin' Up! demsonstrator.  This table shows you the rewards you can achieve when hosting a party.

Lastly, you are rewarded when you join as a demonstrator.

Becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator has many benefits, including discounted products, having your own business and being part of the Stampin' Up! demonstrator family.  So, as part of SAB, you get to choose from two Starter Kits.

mmm I hear you say, what is the Craft & Carry Tote? 

Well it's a multipurpose canvas bag with two carrying straps (one for your hands, the other for to use over your shoulder). 
It includes interior re-positionable inserts to rearrange carrying space to accommodate your favourite produts.  It also features the Stampin' Up! logo, and has a gorgeous tag to attach to the handles.


If your wish list total $169 or more, why not consider joining and get additional products?

That's all from me for now.  Pop back in a few days so I can update you on some of the fabulous products.  If you can't wait, simply click here to take you to my online shop where you can view the products.  As always, you can drop me an email if you have any questions.
