February News

 Hello Stampers

Here we are more than half way through February!!!  and only 9 more days left to get your Sale-a-Bration Freebies 😮  There were some new and exciting items added recently too.  Check them all out here.  One of my favourites is the "Flight & Airy" DSP. I made a few cards using this fun Designer Series Paper.  Here are a couple....


 
This first one is also using the "Perennial Postage" Dies




I used the Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon in this next card which I called my "Sara Lea" Card.  For my Australian Friends you will understand the meaning of this one as it has - Layer upon Layer upon Layer. 😀😀😀 My inspiration for this card came from Peggy Noe in California.  Thanks Peggy. I also used the "Perennial Lavender" DSP in this one.



I also used the "Softly Sophisticated" Bundle in this next card along with the "Gold Foiled Flowers" Cards & Envelopes on Page 15 of the Mini Catalogue.  Love the 2-step flower stamp.




So many gorgeous products.  Make sure you don't miss out and order before the 29th February to pick up your favourite freebies.


Also remember to use my Hostess Code for February - K2FQS7EY - and some cute Enamel Dot essentials will be coming your way as a Thank You from me 😄



Have you had your eye on the new Stampin' Glass Mat Studio?  Just 9 more days to pick this one up for FREE when you join my Team of Sunburst Stampers.  Email me here for more info if you need to know more. 




As a Demonstrator I got to purchase one earlier and try it out.  I simply love it and saves on using the millions of Grid Paper Sheets for my classes and at home.

Happy Stamping everyone

Happy New Year

 Hello Stampers

Happy 2024 to everyone 💟 Do hope the New Year has started off well for you all.  The weather here on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia is quite wet at times so I have been having a few nice inside crafty days to get on to my January Birthday Cards.

It is now a super exciting time with the start of the new January - April Mini Catalogue and, of course the best bit, the start of Sale-a-Bration!!!  For those of you who have not heard this term before....from 4 January - 29 February you can earn yourself lots of free Stampin' Up! goodies.  If you are in Australia and you have not received a copy of either of these hard copies just email me here and I will pop them in the mail to you wherever you are in Australia.  In the meantime you can see a Digital Copy by clicking on the image to the right and browsing through all the fun stuff 😊

I have made a couple of cards using the cute "Flight & Airy"  Designer Series Paper on Page 6 of the Sale-a-Bration Brochure and also the "Softly Sophisticated" Embossing Folder on Page 14 of the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.  Aren't they both just so cute?

NOVEMBER NEWS

 Hello Stampers

November started and I spent the first week away on a little getaway with The Girls 👧👧👧👧 We went to Coolangatta which is on the southern part of the Gold Coast.  A bit of different scenery from the Sunshine Coast where I am from 😉  We got all "dolled up!" for the Melbourne Cup - a very famous Horse Race here in Australia.  I had a tiny little bet and happened to pick the Winner this time.  Happy Days 🐎🐎🐎🐎  I am the one with the Black Fascinator 😁




I was a little bit late creating my November Hostess Code but here it is now and my free "Thank You" Gift from me for all Online Orders during the month of November is a selection of 6" x 6" Christmas Designer Series Papers.




There is a great "Seasonal Sale going on right now and until midnight tonight.  So jump into my Online Shop here and pick up some little bargains to help with your Christmas and other fun creations.



One of the many fun things about being part of the Stampin' Up! ® Family is we get to attend the fun Events they hold a few times a year.  Last weekend we had our OnStage@Home Event which we registered online for and enjoyed the whole day of seeing new products coming soon and also being the first to see the new upcoming Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration Brochure starting early next year.  I can't say too much but be did have a lot of fun and I can share a few pics of us all joining in the frivolity of the day.  Loving the OnStage socks that Nicole is wearing.

We got to play with a new Suite called " Bee Mine" Suite and it has lots of cute little bees of course.  Here are the 2 cards we made









Our next OnStage (Convention)  Event will be held in Melbourne here in Australia in March next year. It is a 3-Day Event full of fun and craftiness.   I would love you to join us at this super fun event.  Watch my Website early in the year for some exciting news about joining my Team of Sunburst Stampers!!  😁😎😉

I must be off now to add more Christmas Cards to my collection for sending out this year.

Happy Stamping everyone

Happy October Crafting!!

 Hello Stampers


Oh My!!!!  it has been 6 weeks till I posted last😳😮.  Gosh life has just been so busy!!!  I have been on a little trip on The Ghan from Adelaide to Darwin.  That was a ton of fun and another thing ticked off my Bucket List 😊😉🚆




Then spent a few days with my Brother and Sister-in-Law in Darwin.  So nice to catch up with Family when in Darwin.

Then not long back and it was World Card Making Day.  I hold my Annual Event on this day and another fun crafting day was had by all.  Lots of Cards to choose from on the Card Buffet and lots of cool Stamping Prizes. Thank You Stampin' Up!







Each attendee donated 1 card they made on the day to share amongst my 3 x Charities I support - WishList Sunshine Coast University Hospital; Ronald McDonald House Charities - Brisbane and Blackbird house in Caloundra.

I also donated $200.00 to the National Heart Foundation in Australia - a cause very close to my "Heart" as I lost my Husband at a very young age to Heart Disease 😭  

Here are a few of the very happy Prize Winners - 


Enid - the main Lucky Door Prize Winner!!



Margy - our Minor Scratch n Win Prize Winner!!



 And Melissa - our Major Scratch n Win Prize Winner!!!

Really look forward to doing it all over again next year 😀

Now into all my Christmas planning.  I love Christmas and I usually send out about 30 + Christmas Cards so really need to get cracking on them now!!




Meanwhile in the "Stampin' Up!" World we have a terrific Starter Kit Promotion for this month of October. We are celebrating our 35th Anniversary so you have 2 x Fabulous options.  Pay the usual $169.00 and get 35% MORE product.......OR.... pay 35% less = $109.85.

If you have a Wish List at the moment  with all your Christmas Supplies and it adds up to $109.85 or more then now is the time to get more for your $$. You don't have any obligation to do any more other than enjoy your discount on future purchases till at least March 2024.

Send me an email here if you have any questions or would love to discuss it more 😀

Happy Stamping Everyone
