The brand new July to December Mini Catalogue (the one with all the Christmas products) commenced today! I can't wait to bring you lots of exciting new Christmas papercraft ideas using these products.
We also have Saleabration back from July 1st to August 31st with brand new freebies to give away.
You can earn free products when you order $90 or $180 before postage, and an extra free exclusive set when you hit $500 in a workshop, combined or individual order.
As some of you have noticed, it's been a while since I have posted here. There hasn't been anything big happen (well other than a pandemic :(); I was just feeling worn out at the end of 2021 (as I am sure we all were) and really needed to slow down to recharge. I'll slowly be working my way into posting a bit more often in the coming weeks and back posting a bit more regularly when school is back. I do intend for 2022 to be a slower year for me though, with more me time, family time and time for self-care. I was definitely feeling a bit depleted mentally and physically at the end of last year and self-care is so important, especially now. You can count on me still to be here creating and posting in some capacity though. My motto for 2022 is "less but better".
Three exciting things are happening today, so I wanted to tell you all about them!
The first is that today is my 15th Anniversary as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! What a privilege it has been to inspire you and create for you over that time, and to make so many amazing friendships with customers, team members, fellow demonstrators and Stampin' Up! staff globally. My life has been enriched by Stampin' Up! in many ways. Here's to many more of sharing the joy of living a creative life!
One slight downer is that global shipping is terrible right now, and retailers everywhere are being impacted with delays. There are a few items (7 out of the 56 stamp sets and 1 paper pack) that we are still waiting on so they are showing as unavailable in the store. This also impacts the bundles these products are in. Everything else is available though and I will update you as soon as these items arrive in.
The third is that Saleabration starts today and goes through until the end of February. You can earn free products with shopping and there is a great joining deal where you get an extra 2 free stamp sets of YOUR choice, in addition to the already great value starter kit. Read all about Saleabration HERE and see the products on offer.
Unfortunately global shipping delays have impacted the delivery of some of the Saleabration items too. You can see which ones are currently available HERE and HERE. I will update you as soon as I have any more news. It shouldn't be too long.
Hi friends. I'm back with some more Christmas creations for you today, for week 7 of Heart of Christmas. I hope we are inspiring you with ideas for your 2021 Christmas cards. Today I am featuring one of our Saleabration items which you can earn for FREE with a $90 order up until September 30th. It's called Be Dazzling Specialty Paper, and we all need a bit of dazzle in our lives right now don't we?
You get eight 6x6" sheets in the pack and it can be die cut, punched and coloured as well.
Here is my first card this week, a sparkly Christmas tree.
For my first card I have used the Christmas Tree Dies (in the Whimsy and Wonder Suite, page 25 of the Stampin Up Australia July to December Mini Catalogue) to cut a base tree in Evening Evergreen and then the garland from the Be Dazzling Specialty Paper. This paper cuts fine in the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, but I recommend a firm sandwich and a couple of runs through the machine. The little star was cut from a retired punch in my stash. I have used Holiday Rhinestone Jewels to decorate the garland, and my DSP is Tidings of Christmas from the Annual Catalogue. The scalloped piece is cut from the Scalloped Contours Dies (in the Annual catalogue). My sentiment is from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set in the July to December Mini Catalogue.
For my second card, I used the Sparkle of the Season bundle.
My base card is Soft Succulent and I have used the Tidings of Christmas DSP for my two DSP layers. I cut the wreath from the Seasonal Swirls Dies and then coloured it with my light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends to tone it in with the DSP. I have added some Holiday Rhinestones to the wreath, and my sentiment is from the Sparkle of the Season stamp set.
Now lets see what other members of the Art with Heart Team have been creating for Heart of Christmas. Next up we have the lovely Catherine Proctor.
If you get lost anywhere along the way, just head back to Sharon's blog as she has a list of participants there.
New Team Members Needed
We are looking for new crafty team members to join the Art with Heart Team from right around Australia.

Or perhaps you would like to have your own family friendly home based business to run some craft classes or sell using your company maintained online store. Either way there is an AWESOME joining deal on at the moment where you can choose a free extra bundle. This means you pay just $169, to get up to $339 worth of product PLUS you get free postage on this. This deal is only on until September 30th so contact me today. I have team members right around Australia who would be happy to mentor you more locally as well, if that's what you prefer.
Thanks for following our blog hop today. I hope you have a great week and stay positive and well.
Today I have a shaker card idea for you using the lovely new Classic Cloche bundle in the Stampin Up Australia July to December Mini Catalogue.
I'm totally in love with these cute little Cloche Shaker Domes and the Subtle Shimmer Sequins are great to pop inside for the shaker bits. I have used a piece of the Peaceful Place DSP adhered to a Red Foil Sheet as my top layer. I have coloured the image with Stampin' Blends (light Old Olive, light Poppy Parade and light and dark Gray Granite). The greeting is from the stamp set too, and this is stamped in Old Olive onto a strip of Basic White, and I have used the Label Pick a Punch to make the fancy ends. How beautiful is the Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon? Such an awesome ribbon for Christmas.
