November IDEAS: Pocket Card

Published by under cards | Nov 07 2024

This month the IDEAS Design Team is spreading the sparkle! Each project includes something that sparkles, like metallic ribbon, sparkly embellishments or shiny paper.

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

This month I created a card with a pocket on the front, which can be used to hold a gift card or even some folding cash! The sparkles come from both the embellishments and the ribbon.

My tutorial includes the full instructions and measurements to make this project. In the tutorial bundle there are a total of 13 full tutorials and the PDF is 50 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 November 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.

A quick update from Simone…

Published by under cards | Oct 08 2024

Hi friends, Just thought I’d pop in and say hello and bring you up to speed with all the news from Stampin’ Up! and from my little corner of the world.

Life is back to normal after finally fully recovering from pneumonia – and the school holidays! But we are just about to brace ourselves for Year 12 exams which is a whole experience all of its own. Wish us luck!

The year is racing along and the end of this year will certainly bring some changes. The good news is there will definitely be more creating and crafting in my future! My mind is bursting with all the possibilities, but they will include more classes, more craft shows, more travel and I would really love to get back in to making videos again for the Stamping with Simone YouTube channel. What do you think? I hope you have some fun things to look forward to as well, and that you can spend more of your day filled with joy. That’s what I’m planning to do. We really need more JOY in our lives, don’t we?

The weather is warming up and there is a feeling of spring in the air! Must admit, it lifts the spirits when you look out the window and see blue skies and flowers. With less than 3 months until we welcome 2025, I’m excited for the season of change and growth that is here.

Flash Sale

Exciting news! ALL stamp sets in the Annual Catalogue are 15% off until midnight Wednesday!

Check out From Our Home to Yours and Layering Leaves which are just a couple of the ‘hidden gems’ that you might have missed first time ’round.

Kit Sale

If you’ve been around my page for a little while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of the all-inclusive kits. They are just so handy, with everything you need right there in the box.

They are perfect for taking away on holiday when you don’t have much space, great for gift-giving, ideal for beginners and young crafters – and just about anyone who wants to be a little creative where the thinking and preparation is all done for you.

Plus you can ‘dress them up’ if you want them to look a bit different. Want to swap out the sentiments or change the layout? Go for it!

The kits are up to 30% off during October, so well worth checking out.

And would you believe the new October kits are also on sale?! It’s true!

Click on the images below to learn more.

The Alpine Air Kit has all the pieces you need to create nine all-occasion cards with a mountain theme.
The kit makes 9 cards: 3 each of 3 designs.

Featured colours: Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green, Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce.

This kit includes a variety of precut paper pieces, stickers, paper pockets, and other ephemera for you to decorate the spiral-bound notebook.

Featured colours: Basic Beige, Basic Black, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink. 

Handy tip: If it says “Currently Unavailable” please check back! That means it WILL be coming back in stock, it’s just temporarily sold out. It will be back though!

Join the team!

Last month I celebrated my 17th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! and wow what a wonderful ride it’s been over that time. I’ve seen soooo many changes, products and trends have come and gone, and some beautiful friendships made with fellow crafters.

But trust me, I wouldn’t have stuck around for 17 years if it wasn’t worth it. Yep, it really is worth it.

Do you love the products? Would you like to save money on your own purchases? Would you maybe even like to earn some pocket money when others buy the product through you (no obligation though)? Being a part of Stampin’ Up! looks different for everyone! You can make it whatever you want.

Has it been on your mind? Trust me, it’s never too late to become part of this amazing community. And if you’ve been a demonstrator in the past, then you’re warmly invited to rejoin.

If you have questions, I have the answers here. And if you still have questions, just reach out! Let’s see if it’s a good fit for you.

So it turns out I had a lot of news to share with you today! Thanks for sticking around and catching up with me. Leave me a comment to say hello or pop over to my Facebook page to continue the conversation. xxx

NEW Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue is here

Published by under cards | Sep 08 2024

It’s been a big week in the world of crafting and creativity, with the launch of the NEW Mini Catalogue (“Christmas catalogue”), two new kits, and a HUGE scrapbooking range too!

I’ve got loads of info for you today, so grab a cuppa, get comfy, and read on for all the latest crafty news.


New September-December Mini Catalogue

Our favourite time of the year is coming soon…the warm days of Summer and Christmas!!! And you know what that means? New crafty products to play with.



You can view and download the catalogue online here – handy to have on your devices.
(Hint: look for the download arrow in to the bottom right corner when looking on a computer).

All the new products are shown in detail in my online store, so if you’d like to see close-up images and learn more about the products, check them out here.

Some of my favourites are:

  • The gold dipped cards & envelopes on page 15 – so pretty
  • The tag sketches on page 16 – oh the inspiration!
  • The Book Treat Boxes on page 27 – can you find all the project samples in the catalogue?
  • The Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments on page 29. Ohhhh so shiny!
  • The Nests of Winter DSP on page 31 – gorgeous birds and woods
  • Regal Winter on page 35 – ok this one was a surprise for me because I thought it would be too ‘busy’ but no way! The papers and designs are stunning IRL
  • Christmas Labels dies on page 40 – what other sentiments can you fit in those dies?
  • Decorative Trees bundle on page 42 – I think this is a fave and will most likely be my Christmas cards this year 🙂
  • The Index on page 64 – everything is easy to find if you start at the Index!

New Scrapbooking Products

Well this is exciting! Stampin’ Up! are launching a new and improved scrapbooking line of products. If you are passionate about memory keeping and recording your stories, view the brand new brochure here. It’s digital brochure this time, due to Stampin’ Up!’s efforts to fast-track this line to better support the papercrafting community since the closure of Close To My Heart (not enough time to print it). Future releases will be even bigger and better!

View all the new scrapbooking products in more details, and with more project samples, in my online store here.


Free Online Event: World Cardmaking Day

It’s time to celebrate one of our favourite days of the year – World Card Making Day!

Stampin’ Up! will be hosting an online event where we can follow along as the hosts make simple cards. The event goes for an hour, and registration is FREE!  You can order products so you make the cards at the same time, or just watch it for inspiration.

Register here (FREE)


Two New Kits

Each month Stampin’ Up! releases two new all-inclusive kits and you are going to LOVE the September ones!

Christmas Ornaments Kit

This kit will be high on the wish list for the crafty ones who love to do 3D projects or make ornaments for gifts or home decor. Let me tell you, these ornaments are really substantial in size at 3 inches and 4 inches in diameter! The Christmas Ornaments Kit is $44 and includes everything you need – even the adorable mini faux pinecones, pre-tied bows and berries – to make 9 ornaments. You will need a hot-glue gun to finish it off.

Card Keeper Kit

The Card Keeper Kit is also $44 and comes with everything needed to make 10 beautiful all-occasion cards. I think this would make the perfect gift too! You could make the cards up or leave them for the recipient to make. There are different sentiments including “happy birthday”, “thinking of you”, “best wishes” and “just because”, so it’s really a practical gift too. And don’t miss the coordinating card box! This cute storage option is perfect for keeping the cards organised and ready to go. 


Free Tutorial Bundles

A quick reminder that when you place an order through my online store, or through me directly, you’ll get a free bundle of written tutorials! This is a collaboration I do monthly with about a dozen other crafters from around the world. You’re eligible whenever you place a $50+ order, and there is a new theme each month. It’s also free for team members.

The September bundle went up on my blog earlier this week (check it out here). And as I always say, if for any reason you don’t get your bundle emailed to you after you place an order, please reach out to me!


Thanks for stopping by today and catching up with all the news. Life is busy but I hope you can grab some time this week to be creative, it’s so incredibly important for us in many ways.
