The March IDEAS tutorial bundle is now available!

This amazing document has been carefully curated just for you, and is filled with project ideas and inspiration… and all focusing on TRAVEL & ADVENTURE.

It was created by the IDEAS Design Team – a collective of international crafters – who each create unique tutorials to help inspire you and to make your crafting easy and fun.

The collage above is a sneak peek of the amazing projects the Design Team have contributed to this month’s tutorial bundle. 

To get your hands on the document, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of March. This can be done through my online store, or by contacting me by email, by Facebook or phone. It’s also available for separate purchase (contact me for details) and is provided to my team members for free in our team forum.

Once you have received the tutorials, please remember they are for your personal use only, so that means you can’t distribute any printed or electronic copies of these bundles.

March Theme: Travel & Adventure

Our theme this month is “Travel & Adventure” which is kind of a fun topic seeing so many of us aren’t doing any real travel at the moment! Let’s dream about it instead.

I started with the stamp set, and chose Whale Done. This stamp set is perfect for an adventure theme.

And this is what I came up with…

This card has a punched window on the front.

Though the window you can see a school of fish swimming by (on the inside of the card).

You can have a look at a sneak peek of each of the designer’s projects by joining us on this blog hop. Click on the button below to visit the next blog on our hop.

Don’t forget, all it takes is a $50AUD order anytime in March and the entire tutorial bundle is yours.

Happy stamping, 

Each month our You Can Create It (YCCI) subscribers are given a packet of supplies – like cardstock, paper and embellishments – and the challenge is to turn those supplies into a completed project.

The January packet featured some of the gorgeous products from the Love You Always suite, new to the January-June mini Stampin’ Up! catalogue.

The packet included:

• a panel of Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper,
• a panel of Love You Always Foil Sheets,
• Blushing Bride metallic ribbon and
• a heart charm.

For the challenge, subscribers can also add anything from the ‘extra materials’ packet (I used thick white cardstock) or anything from their own supplies.

I used most of the monthly kit contents to make a square 4×4 card, and the extra ribbon and heart charm on the chocolate treat below.

You may have heard me say it before, but oh my goodness, I love those Foam Adhesive Sheets! I backed one of the sheets on to white cardstock and then cut with dies to create the “Just Want To Say” sentiment.
Instant dimension!

February Theme: Fun Folds

Our theme this month is “Fun Folds” – one of the most commonly requested topics that I receive! We all love a fancy fold, with an unexpected twist or a pop up or an unusual design. And I know you’ll love all of these.

I chose a simple but effective layout for my card. You can see the outside of my card at the top of this post.

If you slide the belly-band off you’ll see it opens up like this:

And inside the section is a slide out note card.

January Theme: Loving Sale-a-bration

Our theme this month is “Loving Sale-a-bration” which could be a love theme with wedding, anniversary, Valentine, or simply a focus on a SAB item that we personally love.

The variety of projects here is phenomenal, I know you’re going to love it!

I chose two items to feature in my projects: The Oh So Ombre 6×6 paper pack and the A Touch of Ink stamp set. Both of which I LOVE.

The mini handbag is made from a 6×6 square of patterned paper! All instructions are clearly stepped out in the tutorial.

Each month our You Can Create It (YCCI) subscribers are given a packet of supplies – like cardstock, paper and embellishments. The challenge is to turn those supplies into a completed project.

The December packet looked like this…

The packet included:

• a Mosaic Gusseted Cellophane bag,
• Snowflake Splendour ribbon,
• Basic Gray and Balmy Blue cardstock and
• a panel of Balmy Blue glimmer paper.

Subscribers can also add anything from the ‘extra materials’ packet (I used a small piece of the Flush Poinsettia specialty paper) or anything from their own supplies.

So much fun!

I turned my supplies into this treat holder…

I trimmed the Balmy Blue cardstock to 10cm wide, and scored the 21cm long panel at 3cm, 6cm and 20cm. Then I slid the scored and folded cardstock into the bag to add structure to the base and back of the gusseted bag. I folded the 1cm lip down over the front and stapled it closed before adding the embellishments and sentiments to the front.

Inside is dark chocolate Toblerone mini bars of chocolate. Yum.

Happy stamping, 

The start of a new year is always a great time to look forward and set our vision for the coming year. And let’s face it, most of us went through a bit of a crazy year in 2020.

But it wasn’t all bad.

Papercraft helped many of us get through periods of lockdown, isolation and quarantine. Not to mention job loss and long periods of loneliness as we missed our friends and family who we couldn’t see as often as we’d like. I’ve been moved by many stories from my customers throughout the year.

Thank you for supporting my business and for turning to me for your craft supplies. I hope your year was filled with plenty of positives though, and I wish you a brilliant year ahead in 2021.

Below is a recap of some of the projects I shared throughout 2020. xxx
