Latest Exciting Stampin' Up! News

 Hello Stampers


I am now back from my wonderful holiday "Tramping" around the South island of New Zealand.  I learnt this new word "Tramping" while over there.  It just means walking around all the fun trails to some beautiful locations and scenery. I recommend you get there as some point in your life as there are just so many nice places to visit.

I am so glad I am home now and in my "Happy" Place......my Craft Room.  I have a couple of card classes on this weekend so have been madly designing and prepping for them.  All is going to plan 👏 Here is a sneak peek of one of the cards we will be making



There are quite a few things happening in the Stampin' Up! ® World at the moment as we are getting close to a new 2023 - 2024 Annual Catalogue!!!  Woohoo!!!!  So exciting.

This also means we will lose some of our In Colors.  The 2021 - 2023 Collection will retire

So If any, or all of these colours, are in your favourites List then you will have till 1 May to stock up for all your upcoming Projects.  Be quick though as the Re-Inkers, in particular, sell out super quick.  This also means all the Designer Series Papers will be gone and will not be returned.  So pop in to my Online Store here and pick up all your supplies while stocks last.  Also add my March Hosetess Code BN4BH6AD to receive a little Thank You Gift from me 

If you would like me to send you a copy of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue as soon as they are available send me a quick email here
If you are on my Australian Special Customer List and have ordered through me in the last 12 months there will be a copy sent directly to you during April.  If you have not received one by early May let me know 😉


NOURISH AND FLOURISH KIT

In last year's July - December Mini Catalogue Stampin' Up! brought out a "Nourish & Flourish" Kit for sale as their Making a Difference Promotion and for every kit purchased they would donate A$4.25 to support Organisations working to end Food Insecurity.
All up Stampin' Up! donated a total of $27000.00 USD.  That is so excellent.  Here in Australia A$2873.00 was donated. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I love being a part of such a wonderful Company that gives back to those in need.
Watch for a new Product and new Cause to Support in this year's September - December 2023 Mini Catalogue.



ONLINE EXCLUSIVES




Have you seen all the exciting Online Exclusives available as from 1 March?  You won't see these in any Catalogues, only in my Online Store here. So check them out.  They are available while stocks last.  I have made a few cards to donate for our upcoming Mother's Day here in May.  I really love the 6" x 6" "Hello, Irresistible" Designer Series Paper in this Suite






This last one I used one of the Embossing Folders in the Pack of 3 in this new Suite.  A simple but effective card I think.

Happy Stamping Everyone

Holiday in New Zealand

 Hello Stampers

I have been a little quiet in the stamping world for the last few weeks as I am on holidays in New Zealand at the moment and really missing my Craft Room now.  We have been driving around the South Island for 16 days and seeing some fabulous countryside


I took my first ever helicopter ride to the top of Franz Josef Glacier and walked on the snow! Ticked off a “Bucket List” thing


Had a Punt Ride on the Avon River in Christchurch



Fed some giant slippery eels in Hokitika


Found a lazy bunch of seals soaking up the sun at Oahu Point Lookout


Had my photo taken at the world famous #thatwanakatree  in Wanaka


 Put my foot in the freezing cold clear water at the Fantail Falls after we left Haast on the West Coast


Had a Gondola ride in Queenstown and a beautiful view over the city



The stunning and amazing Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki

Lots of fun memories and just 6 more days and will be home again.

Happy Stamping All
Janette
