Stampin' Up! LAST CHANCE SALE and Retiring Items

 

The 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue will be coming in June, and to make way for all the lovely new products that is coming with it, it's time to say goodbye to some favourites! Stampin" Up! have now put up their Last Chance list of items that will either be retiring or will no longer be bundled in the next catalogue.

Please make sure you check this list out as some of the discounts are huge, 75% off! How good is that. Also if you have a wish list and the retiring items are on it, please get in quick as they sell out fast. The Circle Punches are going, so are the Stitched Shapes dies and my favourite 3D Subtle embossing folder.

If you don't have the Circle punches, or the Stitched Shapes you may regret it. I love mine and would never let them go. 

Here is a link to the Last Chance Items in my Online Shop.

If you want to see the list  then take a look here at the pdf

If it is all too confusing please email me, I'd hate you to miss out.

A little catch up news

Life has been rather hectic lately so my blog has had a bit of a back seat. Only posting when I get a minute. So here is a little catch up news.

30 years ago two sisters began the Stampin' Up!® company.

Their mission was simple, as detailed in its Statement of the Heart:

To love what we do and share what we love

As we help others enjoy creativity and worthwhile accomplishments.

In this we make a difference.

Now 30 years later, at On Stage in Brisbane, we celebrated with other demonstrators and got rather spoilt. This is something that Stampin" Up!® do each year, although this tear was rather special as it was their 30th Anniversary.

I was lucky enough to be treated to a special dinner, the evening before our On Stage fun began. The theme was Black and White. Rather exciting for me as I had to wear a dress and most people that know me know that I don't wear dresses very much.

The tables were set up beautifully,



and we got to see what we were going to
receive the next day. Look at this beautiful box.


This young man all the way from the states looked after us so well.


We had a photo booth to capture some happy memories.



Quite a few of our Paper Angels attended this event.



Such a great evening, however the next day was FANTASTIC!!

Stay tuned and see what fun we had at our full on day at On Stage.

SIX DAYS. THREE SALES. ONE SPECTACULAR PROMOTION

It is time to get organised for an AWESOME six day SALE!!



Online Extravaganza will run for six days. During this time, Stampin' Up!® will 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!
Depending on inventory levels, discounted pricing may or may not be available for items featured in the promotion throughout the entirety of each 48-hour sale.
Discounted items may be turned off if their supply reaches a predetermined threshold.
This means you need to be READY the moment that things go on sale so that you don't miss out on the discounts!

Here are the three sales you have to look forward to -
23rd-24th November - PAPER AND EMBELLISHMENTS.
If you love our Designer Series Paper, then get your paper now along with our lovely embellishments

25th-26th November - STAMPS AND KITS
WOW! This is the time to grab that stamp set that you were wishing for. All the stamps from the Annual Catalogue are on sale with the exception of Host stamp sets.

27th-28th November - TOOLS & INK
No, the Stamparatus and Big Shot are not included, sorry. However stock up on dimensionals, embossing folders and punches. Thinlits and so much more during this 48 hour period. (only from the Annual Catalogue)

If you shop online please use the November Host code YVMQA9X3 and you will receive a Thank You gift

No class this Wednesday

Hello all my crafty ladies. I am going to cancel this Wednesdays class as it is getting very close to the Quota Craft and Gift Fair. I need to do last minute preparations. The fair is on Sunday 15th and I will be there at my Stampin' Up! stand.




Why not come along and say Hi! We have make and takes going all day, also demonstrations on our new products and I am doing a workshop in the morning with the envelope punch board. Did I tell you all it is my favourite tool!!!!

Don't Quit Your Day Dream

The third Colour INKspiration Challenge is a fun beach themed, colour palette. I knew exactly what I wanted to make...

One of my ladies in a bikini at the beach...

I was going to hand draw her and then I took a closer look at the Beautiful You stamp set and thought, mask the hem line, mask the bust line, mast the sleeves and I have myself a ready made body to work with. All I had to do then was sponge her skin and dress her.
I had no problem using the Marina Mist. My little lady has her bikini and hat using the Marina Mist florals from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack. I wasn't keen on drawing in her feet (not good with feet and hands haha) so decided that the puddle from the other stamp would work beautifully. So she is up to her ankles in water.

I used our water colour paper to put a wash of Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Soft Suede. I stamped the puddle in Soft Suede from the Beautiful You stamp set, I then cut a slot in the puddle for her legs to go through.

The sentiment was one of the Free stamp sets that we are getting from Sale a bration at the moment. It coordinates with the Custom Tee Photopolymer Stamp Set I love the words, "Don't quit your day dream"

The clouds I hand drew them in Soft Sky, after looking at the shape of the biggest one from Up and Away Thinlits Die . The surf board was hand cut and then stamped in Peekaboo Peach with the Watercolor Words Photopolymer Stamp Set.

I ripped a piece of Marina Mist for the scene to sit on and then decided the scene should also be ripped. What do you think, is she living her Dream?
