The new year is here and so is a brand new Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure! And from today here in Australia they are both live. (I’ll post more about this later today).

Sale-a-bration is one of our favourite events on the Stampin’ Up! calendar.

The IDEAS design team is kicking off 2024 with a a focus on the new Sale-a-bration products which you can choose for free with a qualifying purchase during January and February 2024.

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

My projects this month feature the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and embossing folder combo. The stamp set is actually a 2-step stamp set, with the stems on one stamp and the flowers on another.

And as for the embossing folder, it can be used to create both embossed and debased images with both looking amazing! The square pillow box shown below and the Bubble Bath pink panel on the card shows both ways.

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 January 2024. 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.

Only 11 days until Christmas! How did you go getting your Christmas cards out in the mail? It’s never too late to send or give a handmade card, so don’t stress. There’s plenty of time 🙂

Happy stamping, 

Oh my gosh, it really is hard to believe that we are in December already! Not long until we will be welcoming in a new year. Amazing.

The IDEAS design team is finishing off 2023 with a new set of fabulous tutorials for you, with the theme of “We’re Cut Out to be Friends”. What does this mean? Well, it’s all about the different ways we using cutting in our projects – such as die cutting, fussy cutting, interesting folds, and more.

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

My projects this month feature the Holographic Trio paper… which, let me tell you, is not easy to photograph but WOW it sure is stunning in person! The feature wording on the front of these cards are all die-cut from the Holographic paper.

The IDEAS design team is celebrating 5 wonderful years! I’ve been with the group for just over 3 years and I have to say I really love everything about this great program. We collaborate to bring you – our valued customers – an amazing bundle of tutorials each and every month. Most months the document is between 60-80 pages long! It’s a lovely bonus for our Stampin’ Up! team members too.

For November our theme is ‘Spread the Sparkle’. We have a great range of tutorials created by talented crafters from around the world, all featuring glimmer, glitter, or shiny sparkles.

And as a little bit of extra fun, we’ve all incorporated the element of ‘5’ to celebrate our 5th birthday. What’s my 5? Well, I made 5 cards! One card for every year of tutorial bundles.

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

My projects this month feature the lovely Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper, which is a truly gorgeous pack of patterned paper that works beautifully for winter-themed Christmas cards (you might have seen samples like those in the current mini catalogue). In my part of the world, we are in the middle of Summer during December so a wintery Christmas just doesn’t happen. I wanted to showcase the versatility of this paper pack for general cards.

Happy stamping, 

Happy October! This month officially marks 35 years since Stampin’ Up! began, and we have some truly fabulous reasons to celebrate.

Rustic Christmas Kit

First up, check out this AH-mazing new kit!

It’s called Rustic Christmas and includes enough supplies to create 25 individual envelopes, with the printed die cuts, printed labels, adhesive, embellishments, clothespins, and twine.

And it’s a bargain at only $34!

I’m going to make a set up for my son and his partner who have just moved into their new home. And for ours I’m going to hang them all on the Christmas tree and include some photos and an activity to do each day, something to make the lead-up to Christmas special for the family.

Here’s a video to see how the projects are made.

The folded envelope size is just over 10 x 7.5cm (4″ x 3″) so they are a decent size.

Coordinating colours: Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive

Incredible Value Joining Special

Can you remember what you were doing back in Oct 1988? I was a teenager and I remember that’s the year we went to Brisbane for “Expo ’88” Gosh that seems like a long time ago now!

Well, 1988 is also the year that Stampin’ Up! began in the lounge room of two creative sisters who loved to craft and saw a need for coordinating products that didn’t exist. So they made it happen! And there’s about 40,000 people who are so grateful for this, because we are all part of the Stampin’ Up! family today. Not to mention the countless crafters around the world who know and love the amazing range and versatility of the products that are now available to make crafting FUN.

Time has moved on and trends have come and gone in 35 years, but now more than even I believe there is incredible value in having a hobby or interest of some sort, and a community for connection. So good for us for so many reasons
