ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA!

In keeping with the sale frenzy at this time of year, it is also time for Stampin' Up's Annual Online Extravaganza.

This year, instead of selected sets, the sale is for 10% off almost everything. WOW!

For those of you who know and love Stampin' Up! While there are plenty of special offers throughout the year, broad discount offers are rare so this is a great opportunity to grab some of those wish list items in time for Christmas!

Here are the sale details:

Online Extravaganza will run for six days. During this time, we’ll be throwing three, 48-hour sales featuring a selection of products from the 2018–2019 annual catalogue—all at 10% off! Each 48-hour sale will feature two product categories (e.g., paper, stamps, ink, etc.). When one sale ends, the next sale begins; this cycle will continue until Online Extravaganza is over. By the end, nearly every item from the annual catalogue will have been on sale!

Share What You Love

A Card For Mum

This is a card made for a most special person!
Being Mother's Day here in Australia recently, I couldn't let the occasion pass without a lovely card for Mum.

Using the products from the Share What You Love Suite made perfect sense - all gorgeously floral with rich jewel tones. The Designer Series Paper is sooooo beautiful! It makes cardmaking look so easy!

And on Mother's Day, what is a card without a present?!
The Clear Tiny Treat Boxes were the perfect size to fit in a Pandora gift box. Easy!

This video was from the pre-order offer, which is now closed, however it still showcases the Suite wonderfully.

You can purchase from the full suite now, and it coordinates so beautifully - there is no need to fuss over what goes with which. You can just start creating, knowing everything goes so well together. It's my favourite thing about Stampin' Up!

Remember to use the Hostess Code when placing your order for an extra special gift along with my handmade thank you, just from me!

Happy Crafting!

Charming Cafe

I have for you today a pair of elegant cards made using the Charming Cafe Stamp Set. The stamp set includes some gorgeous brush script sentiments, while the hand drawn artist image stamps of cafe scenes are timeless.

The bundle includes the stamp set and coordinating Framelits to cut out the shapes and for card building using your Big Shot.

This unique set of Framelits allows you to cut various styles of the stamped image to create a special negative space within your card.

It is super easy to use and makes your cards look a level of extra special.
If you have your Stampin' Blends, then colouring should be a breeze, otherwise a Blender Pen and your Classic Stampin' Pads or Watercolor Pencils will work beautifully.

Customer Thank You Cards and Pick A Pattern

Today I'm sharing the customer Thank You cards that went out last month.

Using the Pick a Pattern Suite which includes the Pieces & Patterns stamp set and coordinating Designer Series Paper, it is really fun and easy to put together a set of cards in no time!

The DSP and Stamp Set are retiring - I'm really going to miss this set. It was really gorgeous with some cute and whimsical images that are versatile - not just for cards - planners and children's craft too.

DSP Card Packs are so fun and easy and leave you with a big stack of gorgeous cards after a relaxing craft session. Nice!

Happy Crafting!

2018 Colour Revamp

There are some exciting changes coming to Stampin' Up! in this year's 2018/2019 Annual Catalogue (available 1st June 2018)

Two changes which you'll want to keep in mind for your orders:

1. Colour Revamp
2. Classic Stampin' Pad REDESIGN

Here are the Colour Revamp details:

• 27 Core Colours will be staying
• 13 Core Colours will be going away
• Adding 10 New Core Colours
• Adding 6 returning In-Colors which will become Core Colours

 So the new colours will look like this.

 

Classic Stampin' Pad Redesign

Why the change?

With the production molds about to expire, Stampin' Up decided to use the opportunity to look for improvements to the case design.

What are the changes?

(From Stampin' Up!)

We wanted the new case to:

• Be less confusing to open.

Opening the new ink pad case is now more simple and intuitive—just insert your thumb in the “lip” at the front of the case and lift it to open.

• Have a tighter fit between the lid and the base.

With the new design, the lid doesn’t accidentally become disconnected which was a common problem with the old case style. With use, the lid will be easier to slide open and close.

• Be stackable.

The ability to stack the cases makes them easier to store and transport. We designed a nub in each
bottom corner that fits nicely into the “dimple” on the top of another case.

• Include improved labels and stickers.

Here are a few of the ways we’ve done that:

• We’ve redesigned the front label with a cleaner, bolder design and larger colour swatch, making it easier to see the ink’s colour.

• We’ve included a new In Color icon.

• We’re continuing to provide colour stickers that you can place on the end of each case to easily identify the ink’s colour at a glance.

• We’re providing a new colour sticker you can place on the inside of the pad, so your customers can easily distinguish the ink’s colour when the case is open.

Is the ink different?

Since we were improving the case we decided to make improvements to the ink as well!

We added defoamer to the ink ingredients because we noticed that our old ink would sometimes bubble (especially on new pads and with lighter colours). When this happened, the ink wasn’t as even and smooth when stamped as we’d like to see it.

The added defoamer will:

• Reduce ink bubbles
• Help you get an even coating of ink on the stamp
• Help the stamped image have a smoother, solid look

So here is a closer at the new design...

And the Core Colour Classic Stampin' Pads will look like this...(without the "In-Colour" logo)

Thanks for reading down this far!

It's a lot of new information, but I think the refresh and redesign has really pushed Stampin' Up! further in front, with really modern and fresh colour palettes and a fantastic new case design that will brighten up your creative workspace.

Remember to order your ink refills for any retiring colours you want to continue using before they are gone. I know from previous years that as soon as the retiring list comes out, the ink refills go quickly and almost ALWAYS sell out by the time the new Annual Catalogue is released.
