This month the IDEAS Design Team are all about Family Celebrations! These include milestone birthdays, new baby, any birthday, Christmas, New Year – anything you celebrate with your family.

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

This month I created a card that would work well for the men in our lives – birthday, Father’s Day, etc. It features the Country Woods designer series paper, which is my favourite in the current annual catalogue.

My tutorial includes the full instructions and measurements to make this project starting with either our A4 cardstock here in Australia or the US Letter size cardstock.

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 September 2024. 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.

Happy stamping, 

This month the IDEAS Design Team are looking at the fantastic Online Exclusives that are available with Stampin’ Up!. The name “Online Exclusives” doesn’t mean you can only buy them online, just that the products are not shown in the latest catalogues . They are exclusively shown online!

You can still order them through me (if you are in Australia and choose to shop with me) in the usual ways, or from your own demonstrator if you live outside of Australia.

I’m a big fan of these products, as they are often really interesting and unique product, and best of all we don’t have to wait until the next catalogue comes out to get them! Yes, I’m a little impatient at times 🙂

You can see all the available Online Exclusives in my store here.

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

This month the Online Exclusive product that I focused on is the incredible Changing Leaves bundle. It includes my #1 favourite item which is a hybrid embossing folder with coordinating dies!

By using the dies and 3D embossing folder at the same time you can cut and emboss with a single pass through your machine! Soooo clever.

You can also use the embossing folder on its own, without the dies.

My tutorial includes the instructions to make this project plus four other cards for inspiration.

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 August 2024.

Happy stamping, 

Each month we are treated to new all-inclusive kits by Stampin’ Up!, and they are absolutely gorgeous!

Even though I’ve been crafting for many years, I still love to get these each month – it’s like a gift in the mail with everything you need to complete the projects all contained in the box… even the adhesives.

Some of the kits include inks and stamps, and others have pre-printed sentiments, but often I’ll change the greetings to fit my needs.

You can also be creative with these kits if you don’t want to follow exactly how they have been designed. The card bases are often printed on the front and back, so sometimes I’ll cut them in half and mount them on co-ordinating cardstock that I already have and that way the supplies go even further! The prices are brilliant too, with most of them being between AUD$25 and $41.

You can see all the kits here.

Here are some of my favourites:

GARDEN OF THANKS KIT

Watch the unboxing video here to learn more about this kit. Find it in the online store here.

EXPRESSIONS OF KINDNESS KIT

A helpful video can be found here and more info in the online store here.

THE SCENIC ROUTE TRAVEL JOURNAL KIT

Such a fun project to remember your holiday, or prepare it in advance and take it with you to record your journey. I love that there are little pockets and extra flaps where you can store ticket stubs or photos.

Watch the video here, but keep in mind it’s pretty fast paced so if you are creating along you’ll want to pause and create as you go (that’s what I did!). The kit can be found in my online store here.

Don’t forget that July is “Bonus Days” month – get a $9 credit voucher that you can redeem in August, for every $90 spent in July! Now that is a VERY lovely bonus.

Of course, as always, when you order with me you’ll also get the latest Ideas Tutorial Bundle which includes at least 50 pages of tutorials and loads of ideas to keep you inspired all month.

The sun is out today on this lovely winter’s day. I hope it’s shining for you today.

Happy stamping,
