Well, this is it! Today is the very last day that any of us can order from the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalogue.

We've all been blown away by the EXTRA 50% off bargains that were announced a few days ago. Not surprisingly these have been hugely popular and some items have already sold out. The good news is that there is still time to snap up some bargains but… you snooze, you lose! lol.

I've gone through the updated list with a fine-tooth comb, and my picks of the bargains (that are still available at the time of writing) are in the table below.

To order: Phone 5345 1592 or email me.

Remember that the following Stampin' Up colours will be unavailable after midnight tonight:

Rich Regals: Bordering Blue, Handsome Hunter, Brocade Blue, Ballet Blue, Taken with Teal.

The rest of the family will be out tonight at the Fabulous Fathers Night (Dads and kids) at school, but I'll be home ready to lodge your last-minute orders.

It's a bit exciting, isn't it?!

Happy stamping,

Just a quick one today but I'm SO excited to let you know about some new last-minute extra-special SPECIALS that have just been announced. Yes, this one surprised all of us!

Punches and stamps at 50% off – these are NEW discounts that were only announced late this week, and are in addition to the many other specials that have been going throughout August.

The shelves are getting cleared to make way for new products, and these have got to go!

EDITED: Table removed. Specials have expired.

These are selling out very quickly so I'm placing Customer Direct orders as soon as orders are received. This means that the orders will be sent straight to your door (Australia only) and you'll get them in just a couple of days.

To place an order please do so via email or call me on 5345 1592.

Also, a big hello to the lovely people I met today while demonstrating on the Stampin' Up! stand at Paperific. What a fabulous day and an absolute pleasure to talk 'stamping' with so many creative people!

Cheers,

(That's Funny stamp set, Warm Words Stamp set – both on the Last Chance List)

Happy stamping,

CLICK HERE to download the Last Chance List of retiring products. Updated 18th August.

I've been having lots of fun lately playing with some of the sets that won't be available when the new Idea Book & Catalogue is released next month.

It's sad to say goodbye to some of our old favourites, but we have to make way for all the yummy new goodies that are coming our way! The retiring items are on the Last Chance List (click on the link above to check the latest – note: some of the items are already sold out, and others are running low).

Today I'm sharing some owl cards. I love owls!!!

Up top we have the owl from Owl Together Now (on the last chance list) sitting over an opening punched from the 3.5cm circle punch. This next one is a simple one-layer card, also featuring Owl Together Now. The frame was created by masking the centre with scrap paper and stamping over with a background stamp. Hmmm, is that a sneak peek of a NEW stamp available from next month???

 Yep, it sure is!!! And you are going to LOVE it.

And here is another owl. This time, it's one of the fun rub-ons from the Bright Delights pack of rub-ons (p139 IB&C), also retiring. The rub-on was applied to a window sheet, which was cut to a circle and adhered to the front of the card. The white ring was pretty easy to make, thanks to the Circle Scissors, and conveniently covered the edges of the window sheet.

Oh and that background stamp looks great with the 2-step bird punch too. (oops, bit blurry sorry)

Hope you've enjoyed these cards – a mix of the old and new! You can click on them to view a larger image.

Happy stamping,

It's time to snap up a bargain or finally order that set you've been thinking about for a while.
