WELL, WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

Well, this Wednesday I have a lot to share with you!

Many of you may be aware that former Close To My Heart Makers have been able to transition into becoming demonstrators with Stampin’ Up!. With this, many CTMH products were incorporated into the product range managed by SU. At first, these were only available to former Makers, but now these products are more widely available, while stocks last.

There is a current CTMH product offer, while stocks last.

Let me show you the product release catalogues, since May this year. Click on each image to open the catalogue PDF.

I hope that you find some great products for your future crafting projects.

In other news, I wanted to share information about Stampin’ Up!s product release calendar. This may help you with your future planning and saving to order new products. As a Demonstrator, I know that I use this information to plan my purchases.

There are several product releases each year.

There are three CATALOGUES released each year – in January there is the first Mini Catalogue that runs until the end of May; the Annual Catalogue that runs from May to April of the following year; and, the September to end of December Mini Catalogue.

In 2025, a new Annual Scrapbooking Brochure will also be released.

Then, we have ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. These products are released online quite frequently – January, March, May, July, September and November. It is really worthwhile checking out the Online Store regularly.

PHEW – that was quite a lot to process. I will try to keep you up to speed each week so that you don’t miss anything.

TODAY

I have a super, easy card to share with you.

For this card I used the gorgeous little gingerbread man image and integrated it with the HUMBLE HOME BUNDLE and the MINI ALPHABET DIES.

I started with a Crumb Cake cardbase and an Early Espresso layer.

Then I stamped, cut and coloured lots of lttle gingerbread men.

After adding some Adhesive Sheet to a piece of Crumb Cake card, I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to cut all the letters needed for this card.

Then, I stamped and punched out three gingerbread houses.

The card was assembled, as you can see in the image above.

The card insert and envelope both had some little gingerbread men added to them.

This was such a quick and easy card to make.

Tomorrow, I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.

IT’S FRIDAY & TIME FOR SOME FEATURES AND A FUN FOLD CARD

This week I used the Just Kiddin’ Suite Collection and Filled with Fun Bundle.

The Just Kiddin’ Suite, as you can see below, includes the Kiddin’ Around Cling Stamp set. This set has five fun images and three wonderful greetings.

The suite also has a coordinating set of 14 dies.

The Just Kiddin’ Designer Series Paper has 12 sheets – 2 each of 6 double sided designs. One side has a variety of images of children and the other side has wonderful background designs.

Finally, there is a pack of Iridescent Foil Gems to add bling to projects.

The Filled with Fun Bundle includes the Filled with Fun Photopolymer Stamp Set. The stamp set has 10 amazing images to help you stamp and build some amazing pull cart variations. It also has three lovely greetings.

I still have so many ideas for using these products.

For my final project this week , I have made a fun fold card. I started with a card base measuring 12″ x 6″.

I scored the 12″ side at 6″, 9″ and 10 1/2″.

I cut this blue DSP design to fit each of the card base panels.

THen I spent time fussy cutting each of the reading characters to include in the card.

The Mini Alphabet Dies were perfect to create each of the words included in this card.

I don’t think that have done this much fussy cutting in quite a while. I really like the little reader tucked in under his blanket.

On the ‘read with passion’ page, I included a gift card pocket. This will be the perfect place for a bookstore gift card for an avid little reader.

I am not sure what I will have for you tomorrow. So until then, happy stamping.
