BRAND NEW LOOK …

I have finally revamped the look of my website … all by myself … with a few technical hiccups along the way … and I am really pleased with the end result.

Now that I have created my new logo, I can update my business supplies. My new business card has been approved so it’s off to the printers. I have some other goodies I plan to order.

Now that Rob and I are back from our two month holiday in Europe, I’m excited to be working on my stamping business goals.

On Stage Live, in Dortmund, was amazing! I met so many lovely demonstrators who generously shared their business stories and successes and learned so much from them and each of the sessions during the event … I’m looking forward to realising my plans.

One of the many benefits of being a demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! ® is that I can attend On Stage events, like Dortmund, where I received the new January – June Mini Catalogue AND the Sale – A – Bration Catalogue … and some freebies.

CONTACT ME FOR YOUR COPY OF BOTH CATALOGUES

For those of you who have enjoyed these catalogues before, there are some interesting new features which I will share … without showing!

As you can see, the January to June Catalogue is now referred to as a Mini and it is printed in landscape rather than portrait style … and it features poppies on the cover!

Inside is where all the exciting, user friendly features are … five pages of well illustrated new bundles; each suite has a well designed and clear product layout and coordinating colour swatches; stunning project images for casual-avid stampers; not one but three 1000000 Sales achiever inspired stamp sets; three kits – one each of All-Inclusive, Project and Product Medley; heaps of projects to help you maximise your existing and new products; and a very useful and easy to find product index.

Then, of course, there’s the Sale-A-Bration catalogue filled with free products you can earn when you place qualifying orders. Every multiple of $90 spent (before shipping and handling) gives you the choice of products found in this catalogue. Each free product has a reward icon – $90 or $180.

What might you find inside, I hear you ask?

Here are some teasers – dies, stamp sets, DSP,twine and sequins, card kit, a punch (that will carryover) … ladybugs, meerkats, lilypads, bees and more.

… and there is absolutely something in the catalogues that will meet your needs.

Make sure you get in touch to find out how to receive your copy of the new catalogues.

In the lead up to Christmas, I will be holding my Coffee & Card sessions and planning my launch and class schedule for 2020.

… in the meantime,

Enjoy your Stampin’ Time!

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

JUNE 10, 2019

With each new catalogue, we farewell retiring products …and some have been with us for a long time.

Image result for lovely as a tree stampin up
LOVELY AS A TREE
3 tree stamps, 1 acorn and leaves stamp and 2 small leaf stamps [no sentiments]
coordinating dies

LOVELY AS A TREE, after many years, is now retired and if you missed adding it to your stamp set collection then you will be looking for an alternative … and I have just the right set to recommend.

ROOTED IN NATURE joined the Stampin’ Up! ® stamp set family in 2018 and is a worthy successor.

This stamp set has 16 cling mount stamps.

There are: 4 tree stamps, 4 leaf stamps, 1 sprig/branch stamp,1 tree trunk cross section stamp and 6 sentiment stamps!

This versatile stamp set [148217] is on p148 of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue and is A$73. Even better – there are coordinating dies [146341] for A$68.

The three pine trees coordinate with a larger pine tree featured in the WINTER WOODS stamp set [151359] … and there is a great sample card shown on p149 of the catalogue.

Remember to look closely at the amazing projects featured in each catalogue. The concept artists use existing and new products to create these samples to inspire us and show us just how versatile the products are and can be.

Here are a few really quick and simple ideas I’ve put together …

Using just the Stampin’ Write Markers™ in Crushed Cury, Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Early Espresso, colour directly onto the stamp [from lightest to darkest], give a little ‘huff’ to moisten the ink and stamp.
The new 2019-2020 In Colours Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray are a gorgeous combination for this super quick and simple card.

The ROOTED IN NATURE stamp set gives you leaves, trunk and trees with sentiments for a range of occasions.

If you live in Australia and want to add this stamp set to your collection, contact me and I’ll help you place an order.

Each week, I will pop by and share a product from the current catalogue with you.

Happy Stampin’ Time.
