A Blurry Christmas Card!

Hi!

Today I have a Christmas card for you that I made for two different groups of ladies as a sample of the card they were going to make.  It was a design that appealed to many - a clean and simple look to the card.

Apologies for the blurry photo - I took it on my iPhone and it looked OK on the smaller screen!  Oh well, luckily the card is simple enough that the blurriness doesn't matter too much (I hope!).  I used a Christmas sentiment stamp that I love - Heart Of Christmas - and that I got FREE at the Melbourne Heartfelt Event.  Gotta love free rubber!  I also used the Ornaments Keepsake Bundle that is in the Holiday Catalogue.  It's the subject of a customer promotion this month.  For more details, there is an image you can click on at the top of my side bar.

Hopefully I'll be back soon with a less blurry photo!

Bye for now,

Tina

Bye Bye!

Hi!

Today marks the start of a crazy Stampin' Up! month.  The retiring lists were released today and so now we know which products will not return in the upcoming Annual Catalogue.

You can click on the picture above to take you to the lists.  There's lots of products on the list, as they need to make way for all the lovely NEW products coming soon.  Keep in mind that all items on the lists are strictly WHILE STOCKS LAST, so don't delay getting your order in!

A few points:

• All the inkpads are on the list.  We are not getting rid of them, just changing the style of pads.  If you want reinkers for your current pads, get them now as I believe the new pads are not compatible with the old reinkers.
• The textured cardstock is all being retired, and not replaced.  The smooth 12x12 cardstock will no longer be available in all colours in individual packs, except for the Getting Started Colours.  Stock up now if your favourite 12x12 is not among these.  You will still be able to buy all colours, but most will only be available in colour family packs.
• The Stampin' Write markers will also no longer be available in individual colours, except for the Getting Started Colours.  They will still be available in colour family packs.  If you have one or two ratty looking markers it's best to replace them this month while you can.

Don't forget, it's all WHILE STOCKS LAST, so don't delay!

Before I go, a quick and easy card using on of the retiring Hostess stamp sets, Happiest Birthday Wishes.  The Sweet Shop SDSP is no longer available, as it was in the now finished Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.

This card was made to suit a younger child, either male or female.

One final reminder - the Retiring Lists are strictly WHILE STOCKS LAST! Don't miss out!

Bye for now,

Tina

Sale-A-Bration is here!

Yipee!

My favourite time of the Stampin' Up! year has begun - Sale-A-Bration!

Click on the image of the catalogue to take you to the Stampin' Up! information page, and also to download a copy of the catalogue.

The best things about Sale-A-Bration in a nutshell are:

• You get FREE stamps for every $100 you spend on our fabulous products.
• For the first time in Australia you can choose a DSP pack or a ribbons and brads pack instead of a stamp set - absolutely FREE with a $100 spend.
• There's no limits!  If you spend $300 you get to choose three FREE SAB items, AND you also qualify for hostess benefits. That's another $50 to spend on FREE products from the IB&C.
• If you host a workshop during SAB you can also earn FREE SAB products depending on your workshop sales.
• If you choose to join my team during SAB you can choose a FREE stamp set from any current catalogue.  The starter kit has been reduced to $249 during SAB.  The kit is worth approximately $610.  Bargain!

If you'd like to find out more or place an order and earn some gorgeous FREE products, please email me on happy.mum@hotmail.com.  I'd love to hear from you.

I"ll leave you with a card I made using the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment DSP, one of your choices during SAB.

The central medallion was made by trimming the Pool Party Decorative Label punchie and layering it on two Soft Suede Punchies.  The image was fussy cut from a sheet of the DSP.

I used two of the brads from the ribbon and brad pack on the card. I love the cute little designs that coordinate perfectly with the DSP and stamp sets.

Stamps: Well Scripted (retired)
Ink: Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
DSP/Cardstock: Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB), Pool Party, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla
Other: Decorative Label Punch, Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon, Everyday Enchantment Brads (SAB), Sponge Dauber, Dimensionals

Bye  for now,

Tina
