Christmas Banner Kit

In my pre-order I purchased the new Banner Simply Created Kit, Build a Banner Simply Created Kit and the Christmas Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit.

Well today I was excited about having the time to start creating some of  these gorgeous accents which will eventually be added to my Christmas Banner.  I couldn't start on my banner yet because I forgot to order in the re-inker colour that I needed, but because the Accessory Kit contains everything you need I was able to get started on these.

This little accessory kit is so easy to use and so far all I have done is copied some of the ideas in the new Holiday Catalogue.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product all together.

Supplies used:  Christmas Banner Simply Created Accessory Kit contains everything you need

Great New Bundle Savings

How exciting.  I have been wanting to get this gorgeous butterfly stamp set (Papillipon Potpourri) and matching punch for some time now and it hasn't quite made it onto my order as yet.

Stampin'Up! has just brought out a new special for 29 August to 30 September 2013 and so with the extra 15% discount for purchasing the bundle it will definitely be making it onto my latest Stamp Club order.

You can purchase the bundle for $53.90 for clear mount or $60.90 for wood mount.

Holiday Catalogue

Who is looking forward to seeing all the lovely new Holiday Catalogue goodies.

Well not much longer to wait.  The new catalogue is available on the 1st September.

I have received a few of my pre-order products - mostly Christmas - because I just love Christmas, and can't wait to get time to have a bit of a play with them.

September Stamp Club is being held this Monday night.   Of course, you will never guess what the lucky Stamp Club members will be using in their projects this month, can you?

Father's Day this Sunday

Well isn't the time just flying by.  I can't believe that it is Father's Day this Sunday.  Still looking for that perfect card for Dad?  I have created a few different cards for this occasion which I still have available for sale.   Let me know if you would like one for your Dad.  Cards are $4 each and have also been stamped inside and come with matching stamped envelopes.

Of course, you are very welcome to use some of these cards as ideas for your own very own handmade card for Dad.

Only available for one more week as this promotion ends on 31st August.

Flower Shop

I have been having lots of fun experimenting with all the new In-Colours and the Flower Shop Stamp Set.  This is my new favourite flower stamp set.

I just love the new In-Colours.  They all seem to co-ordinate just beautifully together and make creating some lovely cards just so easy.

In this set of cards I have used the In-Colour Designer Series Paper and experimented with a couple of different colour combinations.

I actually demonstrated making these cards at the Emmanuel Fete and gave away a couple I created using Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana.

I decided on a simple design and just changed my colours and layouts slightly.

Which colour combination do you like best?  I think my favourite is the second one using Baked Brown Sugar and Pistachio Pudding, although my Mum's favourite was the top one (all Pistachio Pudding).

If you love these cards they are so easy to create.  You can purchase the Flower Shop Stamp Set and co-ordinating punch in a bundle for $59.25 (wood mount) or $52.50 (clear mount).  This is a 15% discount. (See page 95 of the current catalogue)

If you don't have the current In-Colours there is also a great special deal whereby you receive a pack of In-Colour card stock and the 5 In-Colour Ink Pads all for just $47.95.  (This is great value as the 5 ink pads alone are valued at $49.95.)


If you would like to place an order for any of these products please feel free to contact me by either email or telephone to place your order or alternatively you may wish to use the online website.

Emmanuel College Fete

Had an awesome time at the Emmanuel School Fete on Saturday.

Here is a photo of my Mum helping me to man my stall.

On one side I had all my handmade goodies for sale and this side I spent the day demonstrating the Big Shot and stamping etc.

August Stamp Club Projects

We all had a fun night at our first Stamp Club for the new Catalogue.   These are the two projects we created using the new In-Colours and some new stamp sets.


Our first project was created using the gorgeous new Flower Shop Stamp Set and Coastal Cabana.

A very simple monochromatic colour scheme.  The girls also got to use the new matching Pansy Punch and Chalk Talk Framelits.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Stamp Sets - Flower Shop, Sketched Birthday, Gorgeous Grunge, In Colour DSP Stack - Coastal Cabana Sheet, Inkpad - Coastal Cabana, Dies - Chalk Talk Framelits, Punches - Pansy, Pearls

Our second project was the same card which Stampin'Up! have a tutorial for.  It is such a simple and effective card that I really wanted to share it with the Stamp Club girls.  Really loving the Tape It Stamp Set as well.  Also used the sweet Birthday Greeting from one of the Hostess sets Simply Sketched.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Whisper White, Stamp Set - Tape It, Inkpads - Strawberry Slush, Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe
