Sale-a-Bration Rings of Love DSP

 We are entering the last week of Stampin' Up!s ® Sale-a-Bration.  That's FREE SAB products with every $90 ordered!

One of the sleeper items is the gorgeous Rings of Love DSP.  Let me show you its gorgeousness.  The prints are designed to work across the whole catalogue, with a variety of prints and colours!

Fussy cutting is an option with this print - and it's a great masculine option.

The hippos are a Sale-a-Bration item too.  They are so cute and perfect for adults and kids!!  Who doesn't love a hippo??

Another great background or opportunity to fussy cut!!

This card features two of the prints on one card.

How about two idea for the one print?  Hippos and flowers!

Twelve gorgeous options and all FREE with a $90 order.

Just remember that some extras have been added to the SAB offerings.

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.
