Get more for your money!!



It has been a huge couple of weeks around my place - the last few weeks of school are always manic, then we went down to Busselton and Margaret River for a few days, then back home to prep for a Bigshot Class and a friends' 40th birthday party! So I finally have some downtime today haha!!

I wanted to pop in and remind you about the Hostess Promotion that Stampin' Up! have on at the moment - once your order, party or catalogue party reaches sales of $400, you get an extra $60 on top of the already generous spending dollars, to spend for FREE! That's right! So for a $400 party - not hard to do, my class yesterday saw one lady spend nearly $400 on her own as she indulged in a bigshot and some fabulous accessories! - you would normally get $60 to spend for free. With the promotion, you get an EXTRA $60, that's $120 to spend for free! Check out the Hostess Dollars Chart

Don't forget my offer of a $20 gift voucher for the next 5 $50+ orders via my store, or free shipping if you contact me direct!

All new stamp clubs


Have you heard about stamp clubs? It's where you get together with a small group of ladies and learn new techniques, play with new product each time and go away with fabulous ideas and completed projects, as well as adding to your crafting stash!

I have a group of ladies that are still a part of my stamp club that began when I very first started with Stampin' Up! back in 2009! They were a lovely bunch of school mums who have become my very good friends, and some of them have also joined SU, so they are also part of my team!!

What are the benefits?

* You’ll receive three Make & Take kits each month.

* You’ll receive the New Catalogue for free, as soon as copies are available (early-mid June).

* You’ll receive the Holiday Mini Catalogue for free, as soon as copies are available.

*  You will get to be the “hostess” one month during the 6 month period which means you’ll get at least $50 of product of your choice for free in that month.

Only 6 places available for this monthly stamp club!  Email me now to reserve your spot!
 
Each member commits to 6 months spending $50+ excluding postage. If you are unable to commit to the full 6 months, please don't join as it will disadvantage the other members.
 
Why not have your very own stamp club with you and your mates? I would love to organise this for you! Ask about your options today!
 
 
Until next time,

Big Shot Class

I follow a fantastic Australian Demonstrator - Tanya at Stampin T - and she came up with these fab little gift card holders. If you would like to learn how to make these, I am offering these in my upcoming Big Shot Class - check out my Events page on my website for the dates, or book me in with your friends for your very own class!

These are the ones I made recently with my stamp club. I used the new Core'dinations cardstock as I really like the texture, but of course you can use any cardstock and either stamp or emboss it to give it the look you like. I like the idea of the core'dinations as you can sand the cardstock to distress it as much or as little as you like!


These are just one of the fantastic Big Shot projects I am offering in my Big Shot Class - why not book in today??

Until next time,

And yet more Dress Up Framelits

Just can't get enough of these framelits!


 

I saw this card online and just had to recreate it! The lighting has washed it out, but the white base has been embossed - it is just gorgeous in real life - plus it is misted with shimmer paint too! This was a hit with my stamp club ladies!


I really love this one! Just gorgeous in real life!

 
 
Now this has to be my favourite! The light has washed it out, but there is embossing down the side of the white strip! I love it! Click HERE to see the original!
 
Again, these will feature in my Big Shot or Framelits classes - check out my Events page on my website to book in or if you don't see a date that works for you, let me know and we can tailor a class just for you!
 
Until next time,

Pinwheel Die

It's that time of year again - end of term! Doesn't it seem like they just went back to school?? Wow, time sure is passing by quickly - before you know it, it will be Christmas again!! Don't laugh, it sneaks up on you!
I will be starting my Christmas classes soon - get organised early this year and save yourself the rushing around and the panic! Keep an eye on my upcoming classes - button on right! - particularly Christmas in July, just around the corner!

But back to the reason I popped in here today - end of term treats! I try to make little treats for my kids' classes as often as possible, and with my son going off to high school this year, I am down to one to create for - such a shame I can't make for his high school, but it would take forever with all of his different classes - anyway, would they even let me?

I got my inspiration for this little treat holder from one of my all time favourite crafty ladies - Angie at Chic n Scratch - she is such an inspiration to me! I made 36 of these little treat holders, they were quick and easy and I loved making the little pinwheel (129411) for the front! I used retired daffodil delight grosgrain ribbon, whisper white cardstock (106549), polka dot parade dsp (126902), retired gold brads and the corner rounder punch (119871).
The sentiment on the front reads "blowing wishes your way" and comes from a new stamp set from the Occasions Mini called "Wishes Your Way" (129156) and it co-ordinates perfectly with the Pinwheel Die (129411) from the same mini!

Here it is closed:

 
Here it is open to show you the treat inside - Milky Bars were on special this week!


 
And here they are all bundled together in a bag ready to go in today:
 
 
See how simple they are? I am sure my 9 year old daughter could've done them by herself, but I love sitting at my desk watching the world pass by while I make goodies!
 
If you would like any more information on this little treat holder, or would like to order the product to make them yourself, contact me today, or place your order online in my store!
 
Until next time,
