Stampin' Up! Opportunities

New Catalogue is live and with great joining specials.

Hi all

Well the new 2011 - 2012 Ideas and Catalogue book is finally live, so if you don't have a copy or if there is something you wish to order, email me and I can organise this for you anywhere in Australia.  

As a lovely saving for people that were thinking of joining, not only have Stampin' Up! made it easier now by getting rid of the need to have an ABN, they have also made it only $169 to join and get your lovley mini starter kit. Click on the image below to see what you get in the mini kit. If you wish to start with the full kit you get 20% discount so thats over $600 worth for only $231.20!! You don't need to be a super seller to join, maybe you want to just join for personal use and get great discounts, maybe you wish to join to do some workshops and get a little extra cash for yourself at the end of the month or maybe you want to go all the way and make a great business. Anyway is a great reason to join but what i have got out of it, is the friendships and like minded people who love to do the same things. So if you are nodding away to any of the above have a look at the link below and either email or ring me (0411 260 583 or 03 8711 4401) from anywhere in Australia and we can get it all sorted. You will not be sorry, I have never looked back :-)

July Blog Hop

Welcome to our July blog hop. As alot of you know A group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators get together to bring you a monthy blog hop. This month is all about ribbon.

You may have just come over from Di Dunks site but don't worry if you haven't you will get to all the sites eventually if you just follow the links at the end of each page.

I have used the wide grosgrain striped ribbon for my projects tonight. One quite busy, the other I like to use the saying less is more.

I have used Old Olive grosgrain ribbon with matching card stock and ink, some very vanilla to stamp on and some crumb cake card stock to break it up. The stamp set is from the mini which finishes on the 31st of this month and it is called Nature's Walk. Other than the lovely leafy stem it has  a bird, butterfly, bee, a cage and a few more. I you want this set before it runs out just contact me before the end of the month.

My next card is very simple, I split some real red wide grosgrain ribbon down the middle and heated the ends so they won't fray. Some more crumb cake and very vanilla card stock along with the happy birthday from bring on the cake stamp set, another great set from the mini. I do hope these make it into the main catalogue in September...fingers crossed. Real red ink sponged onto the ends of the card stock to soften it and a few pearls to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions about the cards or Stampin' Up! send me an email I would be more than happy to help.

You are now off to Kathryn Ruddick's home on the web. I know you will love her work as much as I do...Grab a cuppa and enjoy what all the ladies have to offer. Don't forget to leave them a message to let them know you dropped by.

June Blog Hop

Hi all and welcome to another Blog hop. We are a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators but more importantly we are friends from all over Australia who have come together to do this blog hop.

You may have just come over from the talented Ros Davidson's site but dont worry if you havent as just follow the links and you will make a complete circle.

Todays Blog Hop is all about DSP (Designer Series Paper) or as some of you know it, scrap booking paper. I have used one piece of DSP to make both my cards as each piece of DSP has a different side, so as you can see from the cards below you can make totally different pieces.

I have used Blueberry Crisp DSP for my cards today along with some co-ordinationg cardstock.

and the inside

 

So with a little cardstock and ink, 1 piece of DSP and some stamps (used above: Sail away, Bring on the Cake and Occasional Quotes) you can make some completely different cards.

I added some bling to the second card by using heat and stick powder and dazzling diamonds.

If you have and questions about my cards, how you can join Stampin Up! or just want a catalogue, contact me from anywhere in Australia (and yes it doesnt matter how remote you are) and I can help you.

You are now on your way to Di Dunk's wonderful home on the web, please let us know you popped in by leaving us a message at the end.  If you have got lost somewhere along the way below is the list of ladies participating. Enjoy and I hope you come back soon :-)

Stampin Up Convention and News!!!

Hi all, just back from our yearly convention with Stampin Up and boy it we have fun. I shared a house in Melbourne with 10 lovely ladies for the 4 days, felt like we were having on big sleep over. Shelli and the crew from Stampin Up home office in Utah USA came over, its always great to see them, as is to see all the girls and Aaron from Sydney too.

Some many great things were available to us as a sneak peak...Sorry ladies and Gents on strict intructions to not show or say a word about them as not even the Americans have seen what we have just yet.

Now...the news. Have you ever thought about joining Stampin Up, even if it was just for the discount, but thought it was too hard due to having to get an ABN? Well......Guess What, you NO LONGER NEED AN ABN TO JOIN!!!!! Woohoo...how cool is that???

I will put some photos up tomorrow and more information....That we can talk about on here in the next few days.

So remember, it doesnt matter where you live in Australia, I can place orders and have them shipped directly to you or if you wish to join, send me an email and I can right on top of that and you can join a great team of wonderful ladies (and a few gents) who are all crazy about the same thing. Doesn't get any better than that :-)  I have met some of the best people since I joined so I can recommend it, they have the best ears to listen and even better craft advise. You all know who you are...Thank you.
