December is here!!!!!!!!!

What a crazy time of year. It's sale time and we have a BRAND NEW mini catalogue. I have ordered a pile of cattys and my regular customers on my mail list will all be getting one soon.

Make sure you check out the sale flyer. Just click on the image in the right side bar. Also check out the catty, it's so beautiful. Then email me asap so you don't miss out on these great specials.
I HAVE NOT started xmas cards yet, but have been working on teacher gifts. I like to try and give something useful so have gone with a standard gift of mine, a notebook. To make them a bit more special I have put each teacher's first initial on them. These are covered chipboard letters which have then been coated with crystal effects.

Happy Stamping,

Love letters and buttons

Hi stampers. Yes you are seeing correctly-I have made some new cards. Now these cards were super easy but I love the way they turned out. Sometimes the less you think the better!! I just grabbed a few basic items (Love Letter DS Paper; coordinating cardstock; Big Shot and dies) and went from there. I have used the Top Note die, ovals and the new Embosslits "Sweet Buttons" from our Autumn/Winter mini. Remember this mini finishes July 31st. The greeting is from "Perfect Punches" stamp set which is one of those all round sets with birthday, Christmas, thanks, congratulations etc... Handy to have.

O.K, NEW PROMOTION launched today. When you spend $100 you will receive a free set of ribbon and buttons!! These items are gorgeous. See the flyer on my side bar for all the details.

New promotion

Starting tomorrow, Dec 30th, till January 24th, Stampin' Up have a new promotion. If you click on the Valentine Sweethearts image on my right hand side bar you will see the flyer with all the details. You can get a free set of "Heart Treat Cups" with each qualifying purchase.

For something completely unrelated............... I wanted to also post this card I made in early December for my Dad's birthday. At the time I was in full "Christmas projects" mode and even though I made the card, it didn't get posted on here. People are always looking for inspiration for male cards. You can just see the star background that I stamped with versa mark. I multicoloured the greeting with markers and I loved the way it turned out.

If there is something in particular you'd like to see on my blog, please leave a comment and let me know.

Happy Stamping,

New Colours!!!

There are so many great things about the new mini it's hard to know what features to highlight first! But, I promised a share with the new "In colours" so see below for all the details.

Now, speaking of colours, Stampin Up' have just announced some BIG NEWS about their colour families and the changes that will take place with our new catalogue starting in September. We are getting a few brand new colours and many of the "In Colours" (past and present) will become members of the permanent colour families. This will mean we also farewell quite a few of our existing colours but don't worry- if you have personal favourites that you just can't live without, you still have right up till the end of August to stock up on your supplies! I have links below to the pdf files with both the new colour families and the list of retiring colours. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Over the next few months we will gradually learn more about these changes and I will keep you up to date with all the latest.

What we do know is that the three new In colours, that appear in our current mini WILL be part of our new permanent colour family line up.


So, lets do a share!!

For the sale price of $30.00, you can have:

12 sheets of A4 cardstock in each of the 3 new colours (Melon Mambo, Soft Suede & Rich razzleberry)= 36 sheets
Plus
1/3 spool of Polka-Dot grosgrain ribbon (pictured above) in each of the same colours (approx 4 1/2 m of each)

Added Option: Also order 1 of each colour ink pad to match for the total bargain of $65.00 ! Free postage.

Contact me today with your order for this offer or any of the other great products in our Autumn/Winter Mini catalogue.

Clearance Sale !!!!!!!

BIG NEWS !!!!!!!

Stampin' Up are having a clearance sale from tomorrow (15th Dec) till Jan 24th. There are some amazing bargains up for grabs! As you should know all Stampin' Up stamps produced from now on are die cut for super easy mounting onto blocks. While this transition has been coming in, they have been left with a heap of stamp sets that are still the old "square cut" style.

So, to clear this stock out to make way for all new die cut stamps, many of the sets that are in our current Idea book and catalogue have been reduced.

I anticipate many of these are going to sell fast. There are alphabet sets reduced from $77.95 to $38.98!!!!!

Contact me now to place your order. Please note, normal p&h charges apply and this promotion does not coincide with Sale-a-bration, that begins on Jan 25th.

The link to see the list of all the sale items is below:
