Paper Angels Team Day

Hi Everyone

One of the wonderful things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the people that you meet.  We all have a common goal and getting together is one of the special things we get to do.

On the 21st of January, our larger team, the Paper Angels got together for a day of fun and inspiration.

We had a great set up for our second of this kind of event.  Demonstrators came from the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Redland Bay to meet at the Moreton Bay Sports Club.  Bec Ross and I teamed up to organise the events!

 
We had fabulous displays.


 
Goody bags - these were the bag tags...

 
A name tag competition with the theme of nature.  This was the winning tag made by Dayleen.
 
 
 
Also Top Tip talks by some of the team who shared ideas of what works for them.
 

 

And Prize Patrol!  Can't think of anyone who doesn't love Prize Patrol.

 
Here is a snake of swaps - team members could make 12 cards, all the same, which were then swapped with other team members.


I had the fun job of wrapping the Prize Patrol items.






All up it was a fantastic day, made possible by lots of people chipping in and helping.

If you would like to be part of this team, we offer great support to Hobby and Business Demonstrators alike.  Fun is guaranteed.  Contact me for more info!

Don't forget that it is Sale-a-Bration time which means that for every $90 you order you get a free SAB item. 

And it's a great time to join.  $169 for $235 of product PLUS two free stamp sets during SAB.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lots to catch up on

Hi Everyone

January has been busy for me but lots of fun!  Although I haven't run classes, I have been involved in two major events to kick the year off:  a catalogue launch and a team training day.

My catalogue launch was great fun with 20 ladies coming along to my place to try out the new products.

 
As usual, I had a display of card ideas.
 

 
These were the cards we made.  It was fun to try different techniques and dies and folders.
 
 
We held a raffle with products generously donated by Stampin' Up!  Thanks to everyone who bought tickets and supported the Cancer Council.  We raised $175.
 

And we received a nice little surprise in the mail.  Our Cards for Troops have had a great response this year and I recently received this post card and magnet thanking us for our efforts!  How lovely is that!?



Don't forget that NOW is a great time to buy, host and join during Sale-a-Bration.  In my next post I'll tell you about our big team day which we held on Saturday, one of the great benefits of being part of my team!

Thanks for stopping by!

This is New....and this is FREE!

I am having great fun playing with the new Lift Me Up Bundle.  Stamps and matching framelits anyone?

I have enjoyed making this framed piece using the bundle and co-ordinating dsp.

 
 
Some rhinestones add a bit of bling...coz that's what they are for!

 
And every cloud has a silver lining.
 
 
 
I used Dimensionals on a number of pieces to give the scene depth.
 

 
The details for the bundle can be found on page 10 of the catalogue.  And the free part?  That DSP!!  It's one of the Sale-a-Bration items free with every $90 purchase.

 
 
Need a catalogue?  Click on the covers on the left or contact me for a paper copy.
Want to order?  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone me on 07 55 765 469. 
Shop in your jammies?  Visit my online store and shop at your leisure.  The current hostess code is QAK9MT69.
 
Thanks for stopping by!!

Footprint Cards Update

One of my customers emailed me to say that she had watched Gold Coast Medical on Channel 7 last night.  Our footprint cards had shown up!

A young couple were expecting their second baby but sadly their first baby, Leo, had died when he was only a day old.  Their memories of their short time with him were very important to them.  One memory was a frame including Leo's hand and foot prints which hangs in the bedroom that is ready for their second baby. 

I watched the show online and took this screen shot.  Those blue butterfly pieces were made by you!




Thanks so very much to everyone who contributes to this cause, either by attending our annual Christmas Charity Day at Genesis or by helping to make the cards.  The story was a sad one but it was clear that the memory making was an important process in the healing.

You can view the January 8th episode online through the Plus7 app.

Thanks for stopping by!

The BEST way to save
JOIN my team by buying the best value kit.

You can join for Stampin' Up! $169 and receive $235 worth of product. That's $66 for FREE.   However it gets even better during Sale-a-Bration, our biggest promotion of the year.  From January the 4th you can get two extra free stamp sets.  That's an added value of up to $179!

And the best thing about joining is YOU CHOOSE THE PRODUCT and you decide where to go from there.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO DEMONSTRATIONS or run classes but I can help you do this if you wish!

Since there is absolutely no pressure or requirement to purchase more or stay on as a demonstrator after the Starter Kit, it really is a FANTASTIC DEAL - with NO STRINGS!  Just join for the starter kit if you wish!

 
I bet you have some questions, so here are the answers.

Does the $169 include GST
A: Yes. You only spend $169 and it includes shipping too!

Do I get to choose my own product?
A: Yes. You choose what you want in your Starter Kit from any current catalogue.   Anything to the value of $235.  Plus two extra stamp sets from January 4th.

Do I have to do parties, classes, workshops or demonstrations?
A: NO. You can do as little or as much as you want with Stampin' Up!  If you want to buy for yourself only, that's fine.  You'll get a 20% discount on all your products.

After I join is there any pressure to buy more?
A: No. There really isn't. If you do not want to buy another thing there is no pressure to.

What is the ongoing discount do I get if I join?
A: You will always get 20% discount on all future orders until AT LEAST the end of June.  To stay current beyond that you would need to reach the quarterly minimum spend/sell but if you join in January you would have until June!

Do I get a fine or penalty if I decide to leave?
A: No. If you decide for any reason you don't want to continue with Stampin' Up! you simply don't place an order - simple as that. There are no penalties and nothing is 'taken back'.
 
What if I decide that I want to try to sell to others and grow a business?
There are loads of information on the Demonstrator Website to guide you.  Plus, as you will be part of my team, I will be able to guide you along the way.
 
What are the benefits of being in your team (The Lorikeet Stampers)?
I have an active team on the Gold Coast with a mixture of Hobby and Business Demonstrators.  I send out regular emails and hold optional monthly team meetings in my home.  For demonstrators further away (I have members in Chinchilla and Hervey Bay!), I also provide support through phone calls, emails and snail mail.  I love encouraging my team and am chuffed to see friendships that have formed over the years.  I have been a demonstrator myself for more than 8 years and have learnt plenty along the way to help guide you or leave you alone, whatever your preference.

Can I join again if I have already been a demonstrator?
A:  Yup! Yes! Oui!  It's the deal that keeps on giving!

If you are interested you can view the annual catalogue online
HERE.
I have copies of the new Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-Brations catalogue which I can mail you immediately if you let me know.
So have a think - this joining offer starts in January.  If you have any questions let me know.
 
Thanks for stopping by!!

So this is new! And this is FREE!

Hi Everyone

If you haven't had a chance to look at the Occasions catalogue, don't stress - it's only two days old!  I will help you out!

I have been having a fun play with some of the stamp sets and I'll share a few posts showing you what's new!

So....this is new!

 I know a few people who need a paper hug in the mail.  This is one of our new stamp sets - Yummy in my Tummy. Not just for kids.  And I made envelopes to match!


I am making more of an effort this year to make my envelopes pretty.  So...people not only get a hand addressed envelope in the mail, they also get a pretty one. 


 
This also extends to Tough Bags!  I have been decorating a whole bunch these past few days so I have them in reserve, instead of rushing to stamp them at the last minute.
 
 
 
I added clear Wink of Stella over the top.  I posted one yesterday and walked to the post box.  The sun shining on the glitter was so pretty!  (OK really simple things make me happy!)
 
 
 
How about the other monster in the set...
 
 
 
He is coated in glue from the Fine Tip Glue Pen, mixed with Emerald Envy Ink Refill.
 
 
 
If you loved our now retired Crystal Effects, this is a very similar result!
 
And of course he makes a fun shaker card. 
 
 
 
 
And here is one of Stampin' Up!s catalogue pics with some more ideas.
 
 

 
And this is FREE!
Throughout Sale-a-Bration, for every $90 you spend, you get a SAB item FREE!  There are stamp sets, DSP, ribbons and a cute tin.
 
Here's a Stampin' Up! video to show you one of the DSPs.  Enjoy!
 
 
 
 
I will have these and other samples 'in the flesh' at my catalogue launch!  I live in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast.  Come stamp with me!

Sale-a-Bration and Occasions Catalogue Launch. 

SATURDAY January 14th
 
at my home in Burleigh Waters, Gold Coast

Happy New Year! A new set of numbers!

Hi everyone!  Wishing you a Happy New Year!  I hope 2017 brings you plenty of health and happiness and of course, time to make and send cards!

You know how sometimes you don't get Christmas cards in the mail for everyone?  I have two friends living overseas and I know that I missed the deadline for Christmas mail for them.  So rather than send nothing, I opted for new year's cards.  (I will find any excuse to send a card!)

These cards use Large Numbers Framelits and the 'Happy' is from the co-ordinating Number of Years stamp set.


And then I decided to send some happy 2017 cards to local people too!  Tucked in behind those numbers if the Festive Textured Embossing Folder....and festive it is!


If you missed my last post, I featured a number of cards (pun intended) using the Number of Years set and framelits. 



You can check them out HERE.

My class schedule for the next few months is UP!!  If you want to see what lies ahead, click HERE.  You can even RSVP through the site. 

Don't forget!


 
The new Occasions Catalogue starts on January 4th.  This means EXCITING NEW PRODUCTS and it also means that the Occasions Catalogue will finish.  If there is anything you want, make sure you order before January 4th.  You can check what's available at my Online Store by clicking HERE.
 
Thanks for stopping by!  Happy 2017!
