Promotions, Classes, Mini Catalogues and MORE Promotions!!

Hello lovely stamping friends!!

Just updating you on a few things stamping related :)

Firstly........................

THE INDIVIDUAL MARKER PROMOTION HAS BEEN EXTENDED – WOOHOO!!!!

There has been such a fantastic response to this promotion that Stampin' Up! has decided to extend it for another 2 weeks to 14 December. So if you were considering purchasing some and thought you might miss out, don’t wait!! The flyer is ---------> so you can check out the colours and you just need to send me an email or give me a call to order. This is a fantastic offer that may never be repeated so don’t miss out.

Secondly..... The new Summer Mini catalogue is due to be released on 1 December and there is so many yummy things in it!! If you would like to receive a copy of the catalogue when it is launched, please let me know and I will post it to you. We also have a new special for December, the details of which I will release on 1 December so stay tuned!!

Last, but definitely not least............ its almost Sale-A-Bration time!!! For those of you who don’t know, Sale-A-Bration (SAB) is an AWESOME promotion that runs through January and February where you get a free SAB stamp set for every $100 you spend. As a workshop hostess you can earn even more free goodies during Sal-A-Bration. PLUS, if you were thinking of joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator this is a great time. All new recruits get a free stamp set from the catalogue, ANY SET!!

Can you tell I am excited, lol!! I love my job :D

I will also be running my first class in the new year. It will be a Make and Take of the Memo block that I have been giving as my hostess gifts. For those of you who haven’t seen it, look DOWN, there is a pic in an earlier post. At this stage it will be in mid Jan or Feb (I am going away at the end of Jan) and will be around $10 which will include all the materials you will need to make one memo cube and some written instructions so you can make your own at home.

I will also be holding an Open Day at my house for all those people who want to stamp but can’t get motivated. Bring your own stuff and craft for free (you can even use my stamp sets!) or come along and I can give you a couple of projects to do for a few dollars each.

Let me know if you are interested in either of these days so I can gauge interest :)

Ok, so I will be back to update you on the December promotion next week. Don’t forget to let me know if you want to be posted a Summer catalogue!!

Happy Stamping everyone!

I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!

I just bought some of the Stampin' Write Markers and I AM IN LOVE!!!!!!!!!! I love the versatility and the flexibility it gives to my stamps. Lucky for all of you my new obsession ties into Stampin' Up!'s latest promotion!!


From 10 - 30 November you can buy any of the Stampin' Write Markers individually!! This has never been offered before so take advantage and buy all your favourite colours for only $4.95 each! You can use the markers for so many things. Ink your stamps in different colours, use it to colour your neutral ribbons, colour your images, ink the edges of your cards with ease.......... the list goes on!! Check out the link to the right -----------> for more information.
Oh and stay tuned as there is also another promotion on for the same period but I am unable to share any details right now :(


I have made a couple of cards today using the markers. I am quite in love with this colour combo right now!






This Christmas card is not exactly in traditional colours, but who says they have to be red and green! Cardstock used here is Taken with Teal, Elegant Eggplant and the image is stamped on Whisper White. I used the Stampin' Write markers to ink the Seasons of Joy stamp in Taken with Teal, Bravo Burgundy and Elegant Eggplant. Then I used the Stampa-majig to stamp the same image over the top in Versamark and clear embossed it. I have used my favourite stamp (again, lol!) from Baroque Motifs on the Elegant Eggplant cardstock in Versamark. The ribbon is from the Ribbon Originals set 'Theater'

My favourite colour scheme again, lol! Cardstock is Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant. Image is stamped on Whisper White. I have used the Stampin' Write Markers in Taken with Teal, Elegant Eggplant and Bravo Burgundy to colour the image in the Lexicons of Love stamp set. The Taken with Teal card has been stamped with the Love Swirls Wheel in Versamark. The ribbons are Taken with Teal and Elegant Eggplant 1/4" grosgrain.
I have also been busy restocking my 'goodie' basket for a couple of workshops I have this week.

This is a memo cube which is a gift for my hostess. I have used the Prints Designer Series Paper in Close to Cocoa. This paper series is DIVINE!! The cardstock is Close to Cocoa and the ribbon is Whisper White 1/4" grosgrain. The image is an 'Urban West' rubon in white on Close to Cocoa cardstock.


These are some of the covered notepads I have done using the Secret Garden Simply Scrappin Kit. I can't believe how far this kit has been stretching! The ribbons are all 1/4" grosgrain in Very Vanilla, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink.

This is another variation on the memo cube. Its actually a memo box made of cardstock with loose sheets of paper. This also uses the Secret Garden Scrappin Kit and Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain ribbon.

If any of these 'goodies' look good to you, feel free to contact me to book a workshop!

Well that's it for now folks! Hope to be back with more very soon.
