Happy stamping,

You asked for it, and now it’s here!

The new Envelope Punch Board (item #133774) is in stock and ready for ordering at only AUD$31.95.

SET IT IN ACTION (Click here to view video)

What’s so good about this new tool?

1. It creates customisable envelopes in dozens of different sizes. Choose the size, paper type or pattern, and away you go!

2. It’s super easy to use.  It looks intimidating at first glance, but in reality all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score.

3. It’s small and lightweight. It’s portable and easy to move around for storage. And light enough that you can take it with you for crafting sessions and retreats.

4. It even has a clever scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes.

5. It’s easy to keep it all together. The stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don’t have separate items to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won’t lose them!).

6. The price is terrific – especially for a tool that does so much! Only AUD$31.95 plus delivery.

7. It’s NOT just for envelopes! After a quick look on Pinterest or YouTube you’ll discover a huge assortment of projects you can make with this tool – from boxes to file folders and gift card holders and dozens of other versatile uses too.

Happy stamping,

It’s Stampin’ Up’s 25th Anniversary, so let’s PARTY.

Two VERY BIG and exciting announcements were made today by Stampin’ Up!.

Firstly…

During October, place a $400 order and you’ll get $25 MORE free Hostess Dollars to spend on ANYTHING you want!!

Instead of $60 in freebies.. you’ll get at least $85! Nice, huh?

Here are SEVEN ways you can get in on the action.

1. Place an order for $400+ of current Stampin’ Up! goodies. Stock up on consumables and get those stamps and dies you’ve been eyeing off for a while. You know you want to… LOL

2. Can’t do it on your own? Call your creative friends and pool your orders. I’ll even get them a copy of the catalogue.

3. Write out your Christmas & birthday wish lists and give to friends & family. We’ll give them a hostess code EXCLUSIVE TO YOU so you get the hostess benefits!  No peeking till Christmas.

4. Stock up on gifts for friends and family. Have you seen the fabulous gift range? Shop from the comfort of  home and get that To Do list sorted.

5. Get into Die Cutting! What a perfect time to buy the Big Shot, dies, embossing folders and everything else that will set you up for a while.

6. Book a Party. At these awesome events you and your friends create gorgeous projects to keep. I’ve been doing demonstrations and parties for 6 years, with many past customers rebooking over and over again. We’ll work together to make it a fabulous event.
**** Mention this blog post when booking your party for a BONUS decorated box kit.

“But I want more?”

Okay, so you are addicted to paper crafts… I get it.

You dream about card making designs…

You love to get away from the world and create…

You love giving…

You know this is a part of you….

Well, I have something just for you.

The second big news of the day.

Between 7th-21st of October you can join our community of Stampin’ Up! crafters FOR ONLY $25.

This will get you $26.95 worth of products PLUS an ongoing 20% discount on all your SU purchases PLUS a pack of catalogues to share around (or one for every room of the house!) and plenty more too.

This is AMAZING. I have to admit I thought it was a misprint when I first saw this news from Stampin’ Up!.

I have put together info packs with everything you need to know about this amazing opportunity. You have the opportunity to not only join Stampin’ Up, get the discount and access to all the resources you need, but you’ll join my team of demonstrators called the  EurekaStampers. We come from all over Australia, from the most remote areas to the cities, from farms to beaches and everything in between. We have a vibrant team forum, and a team of successful leaders who are there to help if you want to pursue this as more than a hobby.

Send a text to 0411 642 038 and I’ll call you back to discuss more. This is SOOOOOoooo amazing. I’m just bursting with excitement.

Look forward to helping you soon,

I wanted to make a few quick hybrid cards using MDS and traditional supplies.

DID YOU KNOW? MDS digital files work in Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio™ design software, a fabulous computer program that lets you create photobooks, cards, calendars, and more. My valued customers can try it for 30 days FREE – click here to download!

I coloured the images from the digital set called On The Go in My Digital Studio, then saved and imported them into my e-cutter (Silhouette Cameo). The machine did the fussy cutting while I created the base cards, but if you don’t have an e-cutter you could cut the individual pieces out by hand or stamp directly onto the base card.

For the ‘bouncy blue car’ card, the tread is from Gorgeous Grunge – the traditional rubber stamp version – on a note card base. I couldn’t resist adding Crystal Effects to the wheels, so the ‘quickness’ kinda went out the window due to the drying time. Oh well, it was fun!

The tractor pieces were cut separately and mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals, while the words were stamped in Stazon black ink. ‘Birthday’ went on to a window sheet offcut which was trimmed to a flag shape.

The plane was super-duper quick to make. After the Silhouette Cameo did it’s cutting thing I added a mini brad to the propeller and popped it all up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The clouds were simply punched from the Cupcake Builder punch (p181).

Tip: The digital images used in these projects are all INCLUDED with the full-version of the design software, along with many others, and it only costs $24.95! Want to see what other digital files come with the software? Check out this 30 page file here: MDS_Software_Content.

We are in the middle of school holidays at the moment. It’s a busy but fun time, and the perfect opportunity to fit in a few hybrid ‘on the go’ projects. Digital will never replace traditional papercrafting for me, but it definitely has a place in my craft room. And lounge room. And on the train. And… well, you get the idea. LOL. <3

School Holiday Boredom Buster: Got any crafty computer-savvy kids who are bored these holidays? Download the software and let them try it out! My 10 year is an avid digital scrapbooker and it’s a joy to watch her experiment and explore her creativity. Here’s a picture of her ‘creating’ on one of the long train trips to the city.

You can find more info and the links to download it here. It’s a great project to do as a family too. Any questions? Just ask!

Happy stamping… and creating!
