IDEAS: Everyday Skies Suite

Published by under cards

February is here with a new month of inspirational projects from the Ideas design team.

This month we are focusing on different suites offered by Stampin’ Up!. Suites are more than a bundle. They often include coordinating paper, embellishments and ribbon or trim.

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

My projects this month feature the Everyday Skies suite of products. You can see all of the individual products in my online store here, but you’ll see they include stamps, dies, patterned paper, ribbon and embellishments.

And here is what I created…

To get your hands on this file of tutorials, including the projects shown here, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of February 2025. 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 and is provided to my team members for free in our team forum and also to my stamp club members. 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.
CONTACT ME to order your tutorials.

January IDEAS: Loving Sale-a-bration

Published by under cards

An exciting new year is here for the IDEAS Design Team! This program recently celebrated its 6th anniversary, and I’m proud to have been a part of it for nearly 4 ½ years of that (wow time flies!). The whole idea behind the IDEAS Tutorial Bundle is giving back – in the form of free tutorials to our customers and team. This month’s theme is called “Loving Sale-a-bration” – where we share some of our favourite SAB products, or just focus on the ‘love’ part.

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

This month I used the Heart Shaped stamp and die bundle. It’s free from now until the end of February with a AUD$200 purchase! You get 8 stamps and 6 dies in this set, and one of the dies cuts out 2 images.

My projects are a gatefold card (decorated inside and out) and a decorated gift bag.

The tutorial bundle this month includes mine, and 12 other tutorials, and is almost 60 pages long!

To get your hands on this file of tutorials, including the projects shown here plus all the tutorials from the Design Team, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of January 2025. This can be done through my online store, or by contacting me by email, by Facebook or phone. It is 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. 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. CONTACT ME to order your tutorials.

Have you seen the amazing bargains on the new Last Chance Products category in the online store? This replaces what used to be the Last Chance List and also the Clearance Rack. So now you can go to one place to find all the products that have almost run out… and pick up an amazing bargain or 3! Check it out here. Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration is on now too – free gifts of your choice with a $100 order.

NEW products, Sale-a-bration 2025 & more!

Published by under cards

It’s our favourite time of the year. Not only do we have brand new products in the January to April mini catalogue, but we also have a new Scrapbooking Brochure, a stack of new Online Exclusives, and Sale-a-bration is back too!

That’s a lot! Don’t worry, it is for me too lol. Let’s break it down, and of course you can come back to this post anytime to explore further. Buckle up, we’re in for a fun ride…


NEW Mini Catalogue

Click here to browse the NEW MINI CATALOGUE

I am so in love with this new mini! My favourites are the Storybook Moments suite and Wildflower birthday. What are your faves?

If you are curious about any of the new goodies and want more information, jump on over to the online store as all the items in this catalogue are in their own category so it’s easy to scroll through and, if you like, add to your cart. You can often see extra project ideas there, more photos, and also read in more detail about each of the new goodies (helpful if you want to find out which colours are used).

If you have any other questions, of course you can reach out to me at any time too!


Sale-a-bration Brochure

Click here to browse the SALE-A-BRATION BROCHURE

The launch of the new mini catalogue also coincides with the launch of Sale-a-bration! If you love freebies (gifts with purchase) you will LOVE Sale-a-bration! It only lasts until the end of February, so don’t miss your chance to stock up on new products and replenish your craft supplies, while getting free gifts!

What is Sale-a-bration?

Between now and the end of February, spend $100 on current Stampin’ Up! products and you can choose a FREE GIFT (there are heaps to choose from too). Spend $200 and you can choose two Level 1 gifts OR the bigger Level 2 gifts. The more you spend, the more you get for free! And they don’t have to be from any particular catalogue. Annual catalogue, mini catalogue, scrapbooking, kits, online exclusives… they all count towards the qualifying spend!

Watch a video of the free gifts here, along with extra project samples:

(Link expired – sorry!)

Remember, if your order is over $250 you’ll also get Stampin’ Rewards which is at least 10% of the value of your order in free catalogue products of your choice. So for example, if you spend $300 you’ll get 3 Level 1 Sale-a-bration gifts PLUS $30 in free products of your choice!

As an extra bonus, if your order reaches $500 (either on your own, or if you combine your order with some crafty friends), you’ll get an EXTRA $50 in free products, in addition to the regular rewards!

Don’t worry about losing track. If you order online the system will notify you, and you’ll get to choose the Sale-a-bration gifts at the end of the ordering process. If you’d like me to take care of the ordering for you, I’ll make sure you get all the freebies you’re eligible for. xxx

As an extra gift, I’ll email you the latest IDEAS tutorial which is 60 pages of tutorials for you to keep. Nice!


NEW Scrapbooking Brochure

If Memory Keeping is your thing, make sure you check out all the latest Scrapbooking kits and more. There’s even a new brochure that you can view here.

Browse the whole Memory Keeping range of products here.

I must admit, I’ve been scrapbooking again after about a 10 year break, and it’s been loads of fun! It’s soooo much easier with the Scrapbooking Kits.  


Join Stampin’ Up! – Get More Freebies

It’s always a great time to join Stampin’ Up!, because you can build a Starter Kit full of products you choose, you get an ongoing 20% discount on your own crafty shopping, and you can earn 20% on orders for your crafty friends. But from now until the end of February you can also select one of two FREE bonus options.

Learn all about it in this video.

Learn more about the benefits of joining.


NEW Online Exclusives

Ok, so this is where things get reeeeeeally interesting. With a new mini catalogue, I wasn’t expecting the Online Exclusives to be so awesome, but they truly are.

Although there’s no printed catalogue for them (hence the name “online exclusives”) you can easily see them all here. As you scroll through, just click on each item to learn more and click on the + to expand the description. 

My favourites are the Everyday Arches suite of products, Mixed Labels and Grow With Love bundle. 


THREE New Kits!

Kits have continued to gain popularity over the past year, with the new monthly additions always warmly received. This month we have THREE brand new kits!

Thank You Kindly and Birthday Bash are $25 each, and Brightest Birthday (which includes a stamp set, ink spot and block) is $41. 

Tip: Click on each of the images below to learn more and view them in the online store.

You’ll need to check these kits out in the online store, because they aren’t in any printed catalogues. They come out monthly so there’s no catalogue they can go in.


So there you go! Lots of news for you this January.
If you’re a regular customer you’ll have received your free catalogues in the mail (or they won’t be far away). If you haven’t received yours and would like them, just get in touch and I’ll pop them in the mail for you – Australia-wide.

Happy stamping,
