February News

Hello Stampers

Well we are now into the second month of 2021 and time is just whizzzing by yet again!!  I do hope everyone's January was a healthy, creative and fun one 😀  Did you go into Lockdown where you are?

I was fine here on the Sunshine Coast of Sunny Queensland but I did visit some good friends in the North of Brisbane one day and so was locked out of Brisbane for 3 days.  Not really long in the scheme of things compared to others overseas in the UK and the US!! We are so lucky here in Australia to be well looked after and on an "Island" so we can contain the Virus better.

So what do we do when in Lockdown or unable to travel anywhere????  We Craft 😍😍😍 So I am happy.

I had my first big Card Class for 2021 last Saturday and we did a "One Sheet Wonder" Class but making our own 30cm x 30cm designer Paper.

We used 2 flowering sets - "Beautiful Friendship" from the Annual Catalogue Page 115 and "Pretty Perennials" from the new MIni Catalogue Page 31.

This is my sample page I used for the display cards:-



It is so much fun seeing everyone's different creations 😊

Here is a glimpse from the setup to final creations.....


















So with a new month comes a new Hostess Code - ED4K6RM3...... When ordering online at my shop here for the month of February you will receive a special "Thank You" gift from me. A cute pack of Matt Black Dots to add to all your creations.



Happy Stamping Everyone

It is SALE-a-Bration Time!!!

 Hello Stampers


Happy New Year to all my wonderful Crafters out there.  Hope you are all keeping well during these crazy and consistent COVID times!!  Here in Queensland where I am the Ugly UK Strain of the Virus has raised its ugly head and the Greater Brisbane area is in a 3 day Lockdown this weekend to ensure the one case we have does not turn into more cases.  So I am not in lockdown as I am just outside Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast but it is a rainy dismal day here so I don't mind staying indoors and crafting away the days 😁😁


Especially as the new January - June Mini Catalogue has now started and all the fun goodies inside are available for customers to purchase.  


I am also planning my Classes for the next 3 months and here are the dates so far.  All subject to change if our COVID Rules come into play...

I have been playing with a few new products for my Saturday Card Making & Papercrafting Class coming up at the end of the month.  I have used some of the "Flower & Field" Designer Series Paper  (DSP) which is free in the SALE-a-Bration Brochure as a "One Sheet Wonder" Technique and some examples but the Class will actually be making their own background DSP using the fun "Pretty Perennials" Stamp Set on page 31 of the Mini Catalogue.  





So if you are interested in my classes please book in quickly as there are limited spaces and they do fill up quickly.  Email me here for more information.


Happy Stamping and keep well

Sale-a-Bration is not far away!!!

 Hello Stampers


I really hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and were able to spend time with Family where you are.  Here in Queensland we are not restricted too much at all and I had all my Family at my place on Christmas Day.  So much fun and laughter with the Grandchildren.  I have 4  - 9, 6, 5 and nearly 4.  It is just so exciting with the littlies around and putting out the milk and chocolate for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer.

So now it is time to get back into the craft room and start all my Birthday Cards for January.

Just a few more days left to pick up those items you have had your eye on from the latest "Handmade For You" mini catalogue which finishes on 4 January 2021

I have been playing with one of the new Suites in this upcoming Mini Catalogue - The Fine Art Floral Suite -  and made these two cards for special birthdays coming up in January.





I am just loving the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper and the matching Specialty Acetate that fits perfectly over the top of selected sheets in the collection

December News

 Hi there Stampers

It has been very amiss of me and I have not updated my Blog in way too long. The end of the year for my Classes has come and gone and now taking a break to get ready for my Christmas Celebrations.  I will have all my Family here at my place this year and it will be simply wonderful.  My Son and his Family will be here from Canberra and my Daughter and her Family from Brisbane.  We are so lucky here in Australia where we now have not many new cases of COVID19 popping up and the ones we do have are Travellers coming back into Australia from Overseas.  So they are quarantined for 14 days as soon as they arrive in Australia and are tested to make sure they are negative after that time.  So my Son and his Family are free to travel to Queensland from the ACT and I am just so glad 😊😍

I still have many more Christmas Cards to make though and send out to all my Family and Friends.

Every year I send a Christmas Card to each of my 4 Grandchildren and this year I used a retired set called "On to Adventure" as it has a little Grandma Lady stamp that I thought was just like me and teamed it up with the little Greeting from "Gnome for the Holidays" as well as the Christmas Tree using the "Pine Woods" Dies





They should be receiving them in the mail in the next few days.




Our "End-of-Year" Closeout Sale starts tomorrow and there will be some good specials for items retiring from the "Handmade For You" Mini Catalogue.  Amongst them is the "Gnome for the Holidays" Stamp Set and the "In the Pines" Stamp Set and "Pine Woods" Dies as well as much more so be sure to pop on over to my Website here to see all the bargains.

Also don't forget to add my Hostess Code for December GVVTNSUA to receive a little Thank You Gift from me as well - some Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper (while stocks last).  Order Online anytime of day or night and have your goodies delivered straight to your door.



Happy Stamping everyone and hope you are all well wherever in this crazy world you live.  Enjoy the Family time at Christmas and hope Santa brings you all some fun crafting goodies 😉😁
