2017 OCCASIONS & SALE-A-BRATION CATALOGUES SNEAK PEEK #1 …

Attending On Stage Live, in Brisbane, was amazing …. it is really one of the sensational extra benefits of being a demonstrator.

Even more exciting than seeing the upcoming Occasions and Sale-a-brations Catalogues and being able to see and play with lots of the new products [drumroll] as an attending demonstrator, I was able to place a premium pre-order and it arrived just in time for a weekend of crafting bliss.

… and there was treasure inside this brown box … make sure you contact me if you would like your own copies of these catalogues! Make sure you see my earlier post about how you can make your Christmas wishlist appear under the tree!

My first project used the must have Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies. I have not used any of the coordinating products just existing windowsheet, DSP paper stacks, cardstock, inks and Balloon Bouquet Punch in matching colours … just one new product.

Very soon I will be posting details of my Occasions & Sale-a-bration 2017 Launch Event … you will be able to attend in person or by post … check in later for details.

I JUST LOVE CATALOGUE LAUNCH EVENTS …

Well … the 2016-2017 Annual Catalogue Launch Event has come and gone … and it was a wonderful day to create a range of cards using many of the new products from the latest catalogue!

… and it was definitely an indoors-type of day … lots of rain and dreary looking outside … but inside was filled with lots of laughter from a wonderful group of eight lovely ladies, many of whom I have worked with and others I am fortunate to have come to know … all of whom I call friends …

On arrival, each of my guests were given their personalised

…’bag of tricks’ for the day – catalogue, eight project packs, a treasure hunt and a bonus activity sheet, wishlist and catalogue guide …

… and then it was time to start working through each card station … each table was set up to complete two of the projects.

… there was also a display table of some of the new products – DSP, punches, embellishments and ribbons, stamp sets … and a display stand with many of the new framelits/thinlits and some samples …

This is my first attempt at a ‘selfie’ – my daughters will be appalled …

There was even a mini PRODUCT PLAYGROUND for the Popcorn Box … an extra project for anyone who was interested.

Have I told you that I had an awesome day too …

especially with all the goodies giveaways drawn during the day – washi strip under the Stampin’ Up! logo on the grid paper sheet, raffle ticket draw – tickets given out when projects completed-prodcut names used-helping others … treasure hunt and bonus prizes … and the lucky door prize …

The Launch started at 10 – eight ladies, eight projects, laughter and lunch … all over by 3.30 … I was up for more crafting!!

Phew …  now I just need to start creating projects in preparation for my classes between now and January:

Jars in July – July

For the Boys – August

Floral Flourishes – September

Christmas [4 Australia Post] – October

Weathering Layers – November

DETAILS ON MY CALENDAR SOON …

Contact me if you are interested in any of these classes … attending in person or receiving a project kit:

NEW SALE-A-BRATION ITEMS

There are three new Sale-a-bration products available that will be released on February 16 … as a demonstrator I have already placed my pre-order and will be able to create and share some projects with you before the 16th.

A quick sneak peek for you…

  • there is a three pack of Metallic Glimmer Tape in gold, silver and white … this tape looks awesome … love a bit of sparkle!!
  • Party Pants Stamp Set in wood or clear mount – coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet punch – I love it when our products coordinate because it means we can get so much more use out of them!
  • Pedal Pusher Stamp Set in photopolymer … a very cool bicycle for two and with the bread and wine and little hearts stamp, I can’t wait to make my husband’s Valentine’s Day card.

Now, just a quick reminder – there are three items in the Sale-a-bration catalogue that will not be able to be ordered after February 15:

  • Sky is the Limit Stamp Set in wood or clear mount
  • Hello Stamp Set in wood/clear mount
  • Perfectly Artistic DSP …

If these are on your wish list and you haven’t ordered yet, you need to act quickly.

In order to choose any one of the Sale-a-bration products, you need to purchase $90 worth of Stampin’ Up products from any of the current catalogues.

If you live in Australia, you can place your order through me … let me know if I can help you in any way.
