It’s Christmas in July month for the IDEAS Design Team. Well, not just Christmas, but any ‘holidays’ theme, including Summer or Winter holidays or even travel related. But if you know me, you know I can’t go past my favourite time of year… Christmas. So it’s Christmas in July for me.
The collage above is a sneak peek of the projects the Design Team have contributed this month.
Here are just a couple of the projects I made for my tutorial bundle this month.

This month the IDEAS Design Team is all about COLOUR (with or without the ‘u’!). We are experimenting with the new In Colors, or coming up with new favourite colour schemes, or even showing you different ways of applying colour to your projects.

My projects are a feast of colour for the eyes, because I’m using the very bright and playful Full of Life designer series paper pack. Now, let me be the first to admit that this was not at the top of my wish list but the more I’ve used it the more I really, really like it.
My tutorial shows you a cool trick for making thick stickers with the the greetings, that make these cards surprisingly 3-dimensional!

My project is a tri-fold card, and the best thing is you can create it to show both sides of your favourite patterned papers. I love the bright and pretty colours of the Unbounded Beauty designer series paper, and have used that in my projects.

Free Tutorials Each Month
DID YOU KNOW? When you place a $50+ order with me you’ll be emailed an amazing tutorial bundle for free! Most of the monthly tutorial bundles are 60-90 pages long! This is a little thank you for shopping with me, and includes full instructions of projects for you to try. Don’t worry if you don’t have the products shown, as you can easily swap out stamp sets or colours for your own. This is a collaborative project I participate in with demonstrators from around the world, and we produce a new tutorial EACH MONTH!
These monthly tutorials are also given to my team members for free too, in our community forum, where all the past issues are kept for future reference.
I can’t wait to explore this new catalogue and spend another year creating with you.
The new annual catalogue is not too far away – it starts on May 1st which is just around the corner.
But before we get too excited we have a chance to grab the last of our favourites from the retiring Annual Catalogue AND current Mini Catalogue.
Not all of the retiring products are discounted, but many are. You can browse them easily in the , favourite items you might get by clicking on the heart icon, and check through everything before you finalise the cart. I know how much you’re all loving the new online shop… it’s easier than ever! But of course, you can contact me anytime and I’ll help you with any orders.
Some things to look out for:
Vellum cardstock is retiring, along with some of the smaller clear acrylic blocks
Some items like cardstock, liquid glue, envelopes and clear cutting plates will be going up in price by a small amount (like everything in life these days)
Thick Vanilla cardstock is going away, but we’ll still have the regular Vanilla
Some items are temporary unavailable, like the Zinnia’s stamp set and White cardstock, but these will come back
In the online store you can filter by items that are running low in stock or even what has already sold out – there’s a handy ‘filter’ section on the left when looking at the Last Chance category on a computer browser.
Have fun picking up a few bargains! Remember that if you shop this month you will receive the latest monthly Ideas Tutorial Bundle, which I send out every month to customers who have shopped with me during that month. The April tutorial is all on fancy folds!
Also, if you’re an existing customer, keep an eye out for your new Annual Catalogue – it should be arriving any day now, in fact I’ve just started hearing that they are trickling in to the capital cities now.
Welcome to my online home where I share a love of cardmaking, hand-crafted home decor and rubber stamping. I'm so happy to invite you in, so grab a cuppa and click around!
