Sale-a-Bration Tree Lot Dies

Sale-a-Bration is a fabulous promotion from Stampin' Up!® to give you rewards on your purchases.  You get FREE items for every $90 you spend and there are also higher value items on a $180 spend.

This week on Facebook I have been focussed on the Tree Lot Dies.  These fun dies coordinate with the Trees for Sale set on page 39 of the Mini Catalogue.

If you love paper piecing, this set is fun to apply this technique to - creating colourful caravans.  The kombi is from Driving By, a retired SAB set from last year.

Both of the cards below were super simple using the caravan die - don't you love the little window curtain??

If you are stuck with how to fill the big space on a card front - pull the space in a little with a shape such as a circle.  This helps to create a focal point or scene.

My last card uses the stamp set Trees for Sale.  This gives you the opportunity to combine stamps and dies in your scene.  More of the teeny dies from the set can be seen in this card - the bunting the li'l Christmas wreath and the 'trees for sale' sign.

Remember that these dies are FREE when you order $180 or more during Sale-a-Bration.

June 2022 Charity Day

Welcome to my blog!

On Saturday we held one of our fun and fabulous charity days!  These days are both fundraising and FUNraising - lots of fun and a chance to raise money for a good cause, thanks to our raffle with prizes generously donated by Stampin' Up! ®

42 ladies attended for a fun day of crafting and to raise money for the Gold Coast University Hospital Footprint cards, Robina Hospitals Craft Kits and Meals on Wheels!

Other than the fun projects (which I will show you in another post), there's always fun surprises like Golden Tickets, hidden in people's kits.

And Lucky Door Prizes

I love running these days with my team - we always have lots of laughs together.

All up we raised $720 for charity!  The prizes for our raffle were generously donated by Stampin' Up!®

Thanks to everyone who came, helped prepare the kits and displays and helped run the day.  A HUGE thanks to Maree who always organises our food behind the scenes.

Stampin' Up! Sentiment Love

Have you had a chance to have a really good look at the new Stampin' Up!® Annual Catalogue yet?  There are some amazing and versatile sentiment stamp sets.

Go To Greetings has classic sentiments in classic fonts AND varied sizes.  These would have to be a 'go to' set in anyone's collection.  The variety guarantees that you will have the right look and right size for any card.  This is the set we will be using at our upcoming charity day!

If you make lots of cards for family, 'One Happy Family' is a great one to add to your stash.  It covers all sorts of family occasions and incorporates a variety of fonts.

Inspired Thoughts is a must for ....well....inspiring thoughts, comforting messages and words you would love to receive!

All three stamp sets above are 'stand alone' stamp sets which do not require coordinating dies or punches.  The stamp set below:  Charming Sentiments has coordinating dies which replicate fussy cutting.  But you could, of course use the sentiments without the dies.

And I have to include a return favourite - if you don't have this set, accelerate it to the top of your list.  Biggest Wish not only becomes the focal point of your card, it can be incorporated with your own sentiments.

Here's an example where one of my team members used a computer generated sentiment aling with the upper case HAPPY to create a unique sentiment.

If you don't yet have a paper catalogue and would like one - let me know and I will get one to you.

Day of Service for Meals On Wheels and Robina Hospital

 We had a fabulous and fun working bee on Wednesday! 10 ladies came along to help create Easter bundles using Stampin' Up!s® amazing stamps and packaging goodies.

Outside was torrential rain which even caused my sign to 'bleed' but we were undeterred.

Our goal was to create 200 treats for Meals on Wheels to hand out on their meal deliveries run in the lead up to Easter, AND bundle up treats for the health care workers at Robina Hospital.

I love the opportunities that Stampin' Up! gives me as a demonstrator to help the community - and my customers and team love being involved.  Together we can work together to contribute whilst also having a fun time!

I told the ladies they could leave if they needed to but they all stayed on for the whole morning till we were finished.

All up we packaged 198 of the Simply Classic Treat Boxes (and I have since found the missing two which I had made up as samples!) and 167 Printed Gusseted Cello Bags.  I managed to use up a whole lot of my retired ribbons AND the local kindy will get heaps of cardboard ribbon spools to use for craft projects (win, win!)   There was stamping, ribbon cutting, box assembling, bag stuffing and lots of laughs.

All the ladies had a great time and we are looking forward to our next service project.

Thanks to all who came along!  It was a fantastic effort!
