A new Suite available now...

 Hello Stampers


We have a new suite available to all crafters now which I have been having a little play with.  It is called the "Fitting Florets" Suite and of which some of the Suite will be carrying on in the new upcoming Mini Catalogue starting in January 2023.  From 1 November till 4 January 2023 you will be able to purchase all the Suite components while stocks last.  Check it all out here.  The components that will not be available after 4 January are:-

  • * Framed & Festive Cling Stamp Set (item 160888)
  • * Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (item 161814)
  • * Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls (item 161822)
  • So grab these quick before they all sell out.
  • Today I made 2 cards for a couple of friend's birthdays and used both colours for the oval frames. This first one with a Balmy Blue oval frame and Basic White Oval inside




And this second one with the opposite colours...




The Set also has matching dies which cut out some of the flower bunches from the matching Designer Series Paper.  Some flowers I did fussy cut out as well.

I also used the "Stitched Greenery" Die which is in the current Seasonal Sale until 18th November for 20% discount

Don't forget to add the November Hostess Code 26EGNM6N to your online order when you grab you Fitting Florets Set to receive a free thank you gift from me too.

What's happening in November.....

 Hello Stampers

I am soooo excited to share with you all today my swaps and little table gifts that I made to share at our Stampin' Up®  OnStage Event on Saturday.  This is the first In-Person Event back after the COVID break and we are all gathering in Sydney, Perth and Auckland here in the South Pacific.  I will be at the Sydney Gathering with all my fellow Demonstrators so I will now show you all too.

I used the "Five-at-a time" Technique and made 30+ Christmas Cards to share.  I started with an A4 piece of basic White Cardstock and stamped the large leaves from the "Decorated with Happiness" Stamp Set.  This is a two-step stamp and then filled in some gaps with the smaller leaf stamp



I then used my Paper Trimmer to cut down the middle of the line of leaves.  On the right hand side I cut 2 x pieces 14.2 cm x 10 cm.
On the left hand side I cut 3 x pieces 9 cm x 10 cm. This giving me 5 different pieces to add to my cardbases.  I ended up with these:-



I get a bit bored if I have to make multiple cards the same design so this broke up the monotony and were quite a variety of different designs.  I hope my recipients all like them 😉😁

Next I made a few little table gifts for when we break off and learn new techniques and see and play with new upcoming products 👏👏  Thanks to Julie Di Matteo aka The Paper Pixie for sharing her video on how to make these cute "Bow Tie Candy Wraps"   Mine either have a Ferrero Roche or a Lindt Chocolate in them.
Check it out here



Also in November we have a really nice new Suite called Fitting Florets.  This has some lovely oval frames to co-ordinate with the stamp sets




It is available now and if you use my Hostess Code for November 26EGNM6N when ordering online during the month of November you will also receive, as a little Thank You from me, some Metallic & Shimmer 6" x 6" Specialty paper.  Just click on "Shop Now" at the right hand side of this Blog.


Happy Stamping Everyone
