You Can Create It: Mini Pocket Envelope Dies

Published by under cards

Hi friends! It’s been a little while since I showed you the monthly You Can Create It (YCCI) packs and shared what our fabulous design team created. I know you’ll love this month!

I used the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies which is a set of standalone dies in the latest Stampin’ Up! annual catalogue. There is more to this set of dies than meets the eye! In fact there are 10 separate dies, including elements to make a bow, labels, hole reinforcer and of course the envelope/pouch itself. The For You stamp is from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set.

The latest You Can Create It packet

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 June pack featured a panel from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack, cardstock panels in Gray Granite, Pacific Point and Night of Navy , and some pretty pearl embellishments.

Participants could also use any of the cardstock sheets or other items from the “extra materials pack”.

Design Team Projects

Once again the YCCI design team have truly outdone themselves with these fabulous projects.
Enjoy the inspiration!

Aren’t they amazing! The design team really did an incredible job.

Some of my YCCI subscribers share their creations with me (which I LOVE)… and I had to share this fabulous card by Chris. Fantastic use of these papers, Chris!

June IDEAS: Colour Me Happy with Tea Boutique

Published by under cards

Hello friends. A new month means another sneak peek of the IDEAS tutorials and this month all our projects are… colourful! Our theme this month is “Colour Me Happy” with projects featuring either the new 2022-2024 In Colors OR our favourite colour combinations.

The collage above is a sneak peek of the projects the Design Team have contributed this month.

To get your hands on this file, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of JUNE. This can be done through my , or by contacting me by email, by Facebook or phone. It’s also available for separate purchase and is provided to my team members for free in our team forum and also to my stamp club members. If you don’t get it, please reach out to me in case you were missed.

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.

My projects this month featured the new In Colors, all of which are highlighted in the Tea Boutique suite of products. I didn’t think I needed this bundle of products when I first saw the catalogue, but wow I’m loving it. The colours, sentiments, images, dies… all of it.

My tutorial is for a mini-album with pockets on every page, and a matching card.

June Specials

Published by under cards

It’s the first day of winter and it sure feels like it! A cold snap is making it pretty chilly in my corner of Australia, but this month’s specials from Stampin’ Up! are making me a lot warmer 🙂

Retiring Items on Sale

The new July-Dec Mini Catalogue (with Christmas goodies galore) will be out next month, so Stampin’ Up! are making room on the shelves by discounting many of the Jan-June Catalogue items. Some of our fave products are 50% off!

View the retiring items in my online store here.

Remember that stock is limited, and once they are gone… they are really gone.

Kits Collection: Buy One, Get One Half Price

I am a HUGE fan of the Kits Collections. These are beautifully boxed kits that contain everything you need for easy crafting. They include stamps, an ink spot, all the cardstock pieces cut and ready to go, embellishments, ribbons, envelopes – you name it, it’s there. There are plenty of different designs to choose from too. Check them all out here.

During the month of June, you can choose one at HALF PRICE when you buy a full-priced kit. I have to say, they make fantastic gifts for the crafty people in your life. I’m adding a few this month to put away for Christmas gifts. Yes, trying to be a little more organised this year.

I just recently got the ‘A Million Thanks’ kit and stamped with a friend. It was a wonderfully uplifting and inspiring experience for both of us.

Hope you are staying dry and warm. Have a wonderful month ahead in June.

Happy stamping,
