What Bundle would you like me to show you?

I have created a little Reader's Poll to find out what bundle you would like me to show you next. There are so many gorgeous stamp sets and the bundles are my favourite way to create my projects.

The Poll is open at 9am on March 6 and runs till the March 31, so take a few minutes to read through the poll and tell me what you want to see. Once I have all the results of the poll I will start working on the most popular.

Let me tempt you to Join!!

There is no better time to Join Stampin' Up! than during Sale a Bration and I would like to tempt you by going through a scenario of what you could get with your joining fee of $169.

Plus, you can completely customise your starter kit to suit your individual needs and taste. You get to choose what products you want to start with and what type of business supplies you want. Then the kit will ship right to your door with no postage fee.

So let's get started...If you click on this Lets Join link it will take you to the joining page  and all you need to do is follow the instructions. You will finally get to this page. You will select your Free Business Supplies Pack and of course the $169 which is $295 retail value.

Now the next step is to build your Starter Kit...

I know many of you have been yearning for a Big Shot and I know I couldn't do without mine. So with that in mind, let us choose the Big Shot as our first purchase. Now what next. Let us work on the fact that you are a beginner, so we will get a real starter kit, including ink, paper, stamps and glues. Of course you may not need all the basics so the sky is the limit. So after choosing the Big Shot you still have $126 retail value remaining to spend. Fantastic, don't you think.

This is what I decided on for this exercise. You get an Embossing folder, White card and a pack of Brights card stock and... see below...

So what do you think? Have I tempted you? If I have,please don't delay as Sale a Bration finishes in 3 days (31st March). Email me if you want any more details and remember, by joining you..

Weekly Deals 23 March - 29 March

Another week of some great Weekly Deals. Let's take a look at what we have...

The Corner Garden Clear-Mount Background Stamp is one that I have only just acquired and I think it will be a great one for colouring.

Make the perfect ornaments for your cards and tags this year, with the Embellished Ornaments Clear-Mount Stamp Set. Choose the colours and embellishments to make them totally you.


You could even use some of the Gold Glimmer Paper for your ornaments. Or make some lovely embellishments. At last, a no-mess way to add glitter accents! This paper is embedded with small pieces of glitter. Glitter won't brush off or flake off so there's no clean up.



The Hearts Border Punch has been on Weekly Deals before, so if you missed out now is your chance to grab it now. Use this punch to cut a decorative border or use the individual hearts to create your own design.

  Why would you buy the Squares Collection Framelits Dies when you can easily cut a square? Well firstly you can create accents and shapes in record time, and secondly and this is so handy, you can place them where you want for precise cutting. Layer several die cuts or use individually, love em. 

So there you have it another week of goodies. Email me if you would like any of these products or shop online and get them delivered straight to your door.

Thanks for the inspiration Leisha !!

Since my weekend away with fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Leisha Ward I have been creating up a storm with these cute little gift bags. My Wednesday class and my next Friday night class will be making these cuties. I also made 5 bags and their matching cards and envelopes for my garden clubs raffle. I can't stop making them I'm addicted to their cuteness. Thanks for the inspiration Leisha !!

Wednesday morning card class

For this Wednesday morning card class we are going to do something a little different. We are going to make 4 cards, with envelopes and a matching gift bag. This will make a sweet gift for someone special.

The cost of this class is $20.

 I will need to know numbers, so that I can cut up the kits.

Wednesday 23rd March 10am

Please bring your ‘basic kit’ to each class. This includes a paper trimmer, tape runner, double sided foam tape, multipurpose liquid adhesive and scissors. If you do not have a kit, there will be kits available for sale.

Monday morning class

We always seem to have strips of card and paper that we can't possibly toss out. I have come up with a plan to use up all my scraps and turn them into tags.
So Monday in class will show you how to take a tag and turn it into a card. Come see how easy it is to make these cute cards.

PLUS I have had a request to.show how to make a circular card with several folds, so this will be one of the cards we will make.

The cost of this class is $10.

And there's no better way to cut out stamped images—many of our stamp sets have coordinating punches. Our punches are high quality, affordable, and easy to use. The Banner Punch is a little cutie.

Love at first sight

Anyone that has a grandchild will know what I mean by this statement "Love at first sight" When I saw my grandson for the first time it was a photo in an email, as we were in another country. This did not stop me from absolutely falling head over heels with this beautiful boy, such a different kind of love to seeing my own children. Luckily we are now in the same country and I also have a sweet grand daughter as well.

What has all this sentimental chit chat got to do with cards? Each year the kiddies get a special card from Nana and it is a delight to see how excited they are about getting a handmade card. I was reminded on Facebook, of one I gave to my grand son 5 years ago. This is that card, he was dinosaur crazy so I made him this cute little one.

 

He is now a teenager, oh my, where did those years go? Like all of this young generation Ipads and other techno related "toys" are now the norm. So what type of card to make a 13 year old? An I phone of course!!

Weekly Deals 9 March - 15 March
