Retired Stamps and Accessories

Hi All,

Well it's that time of year again. We get a new catalogue on the first of April but it means that some stamp sets will retire from the 2008-2009 IB&C. I went through the lists this morning and was devestated about some (Paisley, Bud Basics, Bundle of Joy) but then delighted about others. Either way it means that we are making room for alot more exciting Stamp Sets and Accessories!

If you would like to view the retiring list they can be viewed in two forms. Click on the links below to go to the lists....

We are lucky this year that Stampin' Up are taking 25% of some retiring products so get in quickly as once stock is gone you will miss out. I will be selling some of my retiring stamp sets. Please contact me for a full list!

Birthday Card Comp

Allo Allo Allo,

The other day I was making a birthday card. As I was making it I someone asked me who it was for and when I told them who it was for they were quiet surprised and advised that you couldn't tell the person it would be for just looking at the card. This got me thinking of making a little comp of this. (I sort of stole the idea from Marelle Taylor) So I have a few gifts up for grabs for the first person/people who correctly guess the following questions... This is open to demonstrators and customers!

Based on the card below comment and tell me
a. The sex of the person I am giving it to (Male of Female)
b. The age of the person. I will give it to the closest if no one gets it within a week.
c. The way in which this person is known to me ie. Related (if so how - Brother, Mother, Uncle, Cousin, etc) Close Friend, Work Colleague, Stampin Up! Friend, Netball Team Mate, Aquintance, Youth Group Friend, etc.

Here is the card in which you have to answer these questions about...




Here's a close up of the card!



Stamp Set: Big Bold Birthday
Cardstock: Summer Sun, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Celery, Ballet Blue, Real Red, Summer Sun
Accessories: Summer Sun Marker, Wide Certainly Celery Ribbon, Thin Ballet Blue Ribbon, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, Real Red eyelets, Crop a dile

If you like this card you can purchase the set used in it for 20% of when you spend $20 or more from the catty. Please contact me if you would like to take advantage of this! Hurry runs out at the end of the month!

Cheers,
Dani

Stampin' Up! 20th Birthday

As mentioned a few posts down it is Stampin' Up! 20th Birthday and to celebrate they are giving everyone 20% of selected Stamp sets. Here is another card using two of the sets, Short and Sweet and Pretty Princess. Pretty Princess is a very girly set and I'm not very girly but have gotten into alot more pink since joining SU! I will show you how to boy it up when I get a chance.

For this card I did some more of my new found love... Watercolouring. I watercoloured the cake image in So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegrante and Regal Rose. I added some hodgepodge and chose a piece that I have always struggled with using cos I wasn't 100% sure what to do with it. I think it looks so funky and stylish though. I thread some Regal Rose wide grosgrain ribbon through it and finished it with some So Saffron brads. I then finished the card off with some polka dots and 'best wishes' from Short and Sweet.

Stamp Set: Pretty Princess (Thanks Carol), Short and Sweet, Polka Dot BG

Cardstock: So Saffron, Regal Rose, Watercolouring Paper

Ink: So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegrante, Regal Rose, Black Stazon, Basic Black

Accessories: Regal Rose Wide Grosgrain, So Saffron Brads, Hodgepodge Hardware, Aquapainter

Technique: Watercolouring

How super cute is it?? Want to make your own! Well now is the best time as there is 20%. Contact me today to order your set!

I am going away for a few nights to get some much needed R&R! See you when I get back!

Ciao,

Dani

Spotlight: Wheely fun!

Hi all,

I know, I know, I'm a little late! Life has been crazy and I'm still not 100% despite being back at work *sniff*. This month in honour of the September Free Wheelin' Promo I have decided that my spotlight product will be Stampin' Around Wheels! All month I will show projects using a variety of wheels and how the use of a wheel can add a quick and simple touch to a project.

The card I have to show you tonight is using the So Swirly Wheel which also co-ordinates with the Priceless set. Buy the Priceless set at anytime during the month of September for only $45.95 and you can recieve the co-ordinating wheel for free! (That's a saving of $15.95) To place your order or this or one of the other 5 sets chosen for the Free Wheelin' Promo please contact me today!

The colour combo I used for this card is a colour challenge I have had up my sleeve for a while based on the photo of bedding I found below! It's a little bright but funky all the same! Cameo Coral, Ballet Blue, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron (and blush blossom which I didn't use). Please attempt it if you dare.

The layout comes inspired from the Spring Mini on page 17! Jayne set us a challenge a couple of weeks ago to case that card and send a copy to a demonstrator and one to a customer. I made another card but had fun with the layout so tried it again and here's the card!

Stamp Set: Priceless, Occasional Greetings, So Swirly Wheel

Ink: Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Ballet Blue, So Saffron

Cardstock: Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Ballet Blue, So Saffron, Whisper White

Accessories: 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Stapler, Jumbo Wheel

Thanks for looking! Have a great Thursday Night!

Ciao!

Dani :)
