Delicate Dahlias

Published by under cards | Aug 03 2021

What a day! Today in Australia we kick off the NEW July-Dec mini catalogue AND the second round of Sale-a-bration for the year, and also the August IDEAS tutorial bundle is now available!

This amazing document has been carefully curated just for you. It is filled with project ideas and inspiration… and all focusing on different product suites.

These tutorials were all created by the IDEAS Design Team, a collective of international crafters. Each contributor makes unique tutorials to help inspire you and to make your crafting easy and fun.

The collage above is a sneak peek of the amazing projects the Design Team have contributed to this month’s tutorial bundle. 

To get your hands on the document, simply place a $50+ order of Stampin’ Up! products with me during the month of AUGUST. 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.

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.

August 2021 Theme: Celebrating Sale-a-bration

Our theme this month is “Celebrating Sale-a-bration”, and we have each created a 3D project and a card based on our chosen Sale-a-bration product.

My three projects focus on the Delicate Dahlias – a fabulous 12 piece stamp set that is available for free with any order to the value of AUD$180. The set includes realistic photographic imagery and outlines, plus four lovely sentiments.

I created a card and 2 treat boxes, and include all the measurements and instructions in my tutorial.

You can have a look at a sneak peek of each of the designer’s projects by joining us on this blog hop. Click on the button below to check out Sandra’a fabulous projects featuring penguins!

Don’t forget, all it takes is a $50AUD order anytime in August and the entire tutorial bundle is yours.

Happy stamping,

YCCI (You Can Create It) July Kit

Published by under cards | Aug 02 2021

Each month our You Can Create It (YCCI) subscribers are given a packet of supplies – like cardstock, paper and embellishments – and the challenge is to turn those supplies into a completed project.

The July 2021 packet featured a panel of You’re a Peach patterned paper, Calypso Coral cardstock, Pear Pizzazz cardstock and watercolour paper.

This is what I made with my supplies.

I made a simple tri-fold card, with a white embossed sentiment that was covered in a wash of Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral ink.

For the challenge, subscribers can also add anything from the ‘extra materials’ packet (I used thick white cardstock) or anything from their own supplies.


Design Team Projects

Once again the YCCI design team have done an amazing job of converting these items to stunning projects. Enjoy the inspiration and if you’d like more info just click on the artist’s name.


An extra big thanks to one of our subscribers, Chris, who created these amazing projects with her kit. Thanks for playing along and for sharing your creations, Chris.

Registration for YCCI kits is currently closed, but if you’d like to go on the waiting list for the next quarterly round, please contact me. Spots are limited and bookings will commence in September for the October-December 2021 quarter.

Cost for each quarter is AUD$25. Best of all, you’ll get to see and try brand new products.

Were you inspired by the contents in this month’s pack?

Happy stamping,
