The limited edition Reason To Smile set has been hugely popular. So much so, that it has been on backorder a couple of times so far this month. (Don't worry if you're waiting for your copy to arrive, it's on its way and will come!)
LAST DAYS – Available until Saturday June 30
This two-step stamp set is easy to use and quite versatile: overlay both the solid and outline images to create a detailed image (as in the mini milk carton box above), OR use them separately as I have below.
Crumb Cake card base
Note card set with matching envelopes
3"x3" gift card in Crumb Cake, watercoloured directly onto the card base
Versmark-stamped background, linen thread bow
TIP: For a multicoloured image, use the wide brush-end of your Stampin' Write markers to apply ink in different colours directly onto the rubber (see Real Red and Old Olive flower above).
Just to recap, the Reason to Smile stamp set is only available until Saturday and there are two ways to get your hands on it:
1. FREE with a $125 purchase from any current catalogue. Just let me know if you'd like clear- or wood-mount.
2. Order it in CLEAR-MOUNT for $28.95* or WOOD-MOUNT for $35.95*. (* plus p/h)
Shoot me an email to place your order and I'll get it all delivered straight to your door, anywhere in Australia.
Happy stamping,
One of the best things about our annual Convention for Stampin' Up! demonstrators is swapping finished projects with other 'demos'. This is seriously good fun!
This year I went off to Convention with a box of 3D projects and cards. It was all very good in theory, but I kinda underestimated how much extra room they'd take up in the suitcase (note to self: assemble 3Ds at destination next time or get a bigger suitcase! lol)
The pillow box handbags were created by adhering the lovely Stampin' Up! fabric to cardstock which I talked about back in this post. I loved them so much I thought I'd make a few dozen!
And here are some photos of us swapping on the first day of Convention.
Back at the hotel room we checked out each other's swaps and took photos of those we didn't get. It's all part of sharing ideas. Great stuff.
Here's just a small selection of the lovely swaps and special gifts I received from fellow demonstrators.
Of course there is no way any of us could swap with every demonstrator, but luckily for us Stampin' Up! put together lovely display boards so we could 'ooh' and 'aah' over all the great ideas.
Here are just a couple. Come along to Convention with us next year in Brisvegas as a demonstrator to see even more!
p.s. A quick hello to the lovely ladies I met on Saturday at our fundraiser event. I had such an enjoyable day and LOVE my teacups – hehehe.
Happy stamping,
