June Happenings at Stampin' Up! in Australia

Hey crafty friends. Happy first day of June (and winter here in Australia - brrrrrrr). I actually don't mind winter. So long as I can stay warm, I enjoy being rugged up and hanging out with the family (and my pets, especially my cat who is usually keeping my lap warm). Then there's all the winter comfort food - soups and casseroles - yum! I miss being out in the garden though, but I have to remind myself it's only a few months and then I'll be able to thaw out and get back into it. 

I have lots to keep me busy inside right now, so let's have a look at what's happening in June in Stampin' Up! in Australia.

 

SARA IS COMING TO MELBOURNE IN JULY

First up, there is lots of planning and creating going on here as we work towards our team Create, Share and Play event in the city in mid July. I'm working with another team leader, Michelle Grech, to put on the event and we are ridiculously excited to have been chosen as one of the official global 35 for 35 events to celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 35th Anniversary! This means we get a member of the corporate team fly all the way from Utah for our event (no pressure or anything!). The most exciting things is that Sara Douglass, our Stampin' Up! CEO will be the one flying to Australia to attend - wow!!

Michelle and I, together with my son Josh (who has his own live sound business now, and is doing our sound set up for the event for us) did a site visit yesterday and it's going to be great! We have team members flying in from interstate for the event too! I can't wait to show you pictures from the day. We love getting together and catching up!

 

JUNE PROMOTIONS

We also have two exciting new promotions for June.

Demo_ldpg_hdr_us_0623_dsp_sale

First up we have a DSP sale with 15% off 13 different paper packs, 12 of which are brand new papers from the 2023 Annual Catalogue! You know how I love my DSP! While I was on my craft retreat last week I created LOTS of new samples, many using DSP, and I can't wait to bring these to you this month!

You can check out all the DSP's which are 15% off in June HERE in my online store.

We also have an exciting joining promotion.

DEMO_MKTL_SQR_SP_0623_STARTER_KIT+

For a one off payment of $169, you get:

  • Up to $283 worth of Stampin' Up! products that you choose (yes - anything we currently sell!) 
  • FREE postage on your starter kit
  • On ongoing 20% discount (and this can increase with accumulated sales to 25%)
  • All the insider perks and fun of being a demonstrator, even if you just want to join for yourself

With this June deal, you are saving over $130 or 43% on the cost of an order of equivalent value - that's why we call joining our best deal!

Did you know it's totally fine to join Stampin' Up! for your own personal hobby, or to enjoy the discount shopping? There's also no obligation to stay for any set length of time (but we think you'll love it when you get to know us!). If you decide after a while you would rather be a customer, you can go back to that at any time and you keep everything, and just drop us an email. The best bit is you can come back at any time, so if you have been a demonstrator before and miss it, get in touch as we would love to have you back. 

I have so many people in the team who have been happily enjoying our team demonstrator community and the personal savings for many years (I've been growing a team for over 16 years now and we have an active and large team with team members in most states which is exciting). It's so rewarding to see the close friendships that have formed during that time. It's so good for the soul!

If you would like to chat or ask questions, you can contact me by phone or email. You will also find lots of information on my joining page HERE.

 

JUNE HOST CODE

Finally, with a new month comes a new host code and more opportunities for you to earn free goodies. I love spoiling my customers. Read how the host code works, and how to add it HERE.

Stampin' Up! 2023 Beautiful Balloons Birthday Shaker Card

Hello friends, today I have a bright and happy birthday shaker card for you using the Beautiful Balloons bundle from the 2023 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

Stampin Up Beautiful Balloons Shaker Card by Claire Daly, Stampin Up Demonstrator Melbourne Australia

I started with a piece of white cardstock (slightly smaller on all sides than the base card) blended with Azure Afternoon, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist. I then cut the combined balloons shape from this and traced that shape onto the base card too.

Next I adhered foam strips around the outside of the shape and added some sequins (mine are some retired ones I had in my stash). 

Stanpin Up Beautiful Balloons Shaker Card

For the piece that gets adhered over the top, I:

  • Embossed some tassles and streamers and random dots onto the sponged cardstock using white embossing powder;
  • Added a piece of window sheet attached on reverse (tip: if you wipe the sequin side of this with your embossing buddy, it helps the sequins to not stick to the window sheet). 
  • Die cut a large balloon in Fresh Freesia with the small star embedded in the balloon (make sure the star is low enough to emboss Happy Birthday onto the balloon too.

Pin this Stampin Up card idea for later.

Stampin Up Fresh as a Daisy Quick and Easy Cards InColor Cards

Did you know the Stampin' Up! Fresh as a Daisy DSP coordinates with all five of the new InColors? I made these 5 quick and easy hand made cards to show the coordination. From left to right I have used the following new InColors for the base card and the mat on the sentiment label: Pebbled Path, Boho Blue, Wild Wheat, Copper Clay and Moody Mauve.

Stampin Up Cards 2023-25 InColors Fresh as a Daisy DSP

For each card I used a contrasting colour as a mat to the patterned paper and followed that colour through on the paper strip under the label and the ink colour for the sentiment. In this example below I have used Copper Clay. I coordinated the jute bows with the base cardstock colour. For the Jute bow I have used just one of the strands of the twine (there are 3 strands so I just twisted and divided them).

Stampin Up Something Fancy Birthday Card

The InColor jute twine is fabulous value actually. You get 4.6m of each colour in the one pack, and if you divide the strands it will go even further. Here's just one of the five colours you get in the pack (Boho Blue) so you can see what it looks like before it's unravelled to one thread.

Stampin Up 2023 InColor Jute Trim

For these two examples I have used Copper Clay with Pretty Peacock for the left hand side card, and Moody Mauve with Wild Wheat for the one on the right.

2023 Stampin Up Cards using Fresh as a Daisy DSP

For the sentiments, I used the Something Fancy stamp set with the coordinating dies. The dies have these two graduating sized labels which I have stacked on top of each other using Dimensionals. Here's a look at the Something Fancy Stamp Set and the coordinating Something Fancy Dies. Something Fancy stamp set

I hope this has given you an idea for making a quick and easy set of coordinating cards.
