Introducing NEW Stampin' Up! Orchid Oasis InColor with Cup of Tea and Sending Smiles Bundle

Hey friends, time for a look at another new 2022 Stampin' Up! InColor. Today we are looking at Orchid Oasis. Coordinating products in this colour will be available when the new 2022 Annual Catalogue goes live on May 3rd (request your catalogue HERE).

Here's a look how Orchid Oasis works with some of our current colours. It's a lovely colour.

Here's my card using Orchid Oasis and the new Cup of Tea bundle and Sending Smiles bundle, both which will be available on May 3rd.

I really like how Orchid Oasis works with Fresh Freesia, and the neutrals of the white and Basic Gray (in the Vellum Layering Designs).

I have used the gorgeous Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper for the patterns on 2 of the teacups.  Have you considered buying a 1/4 share of all the new papers to get a greater variety? Share registrations are open until May 2nd for the 2022 Annual Catalogue shares, and you can get shares of all 12 Designer Series Papers. There are also ribbon and specialty paper shares. Get all the details and register for shares HERE.

The bottom teacup is cut from the Orchid Oasis prints paper (available May 3rd) which is included in my InColor Club. I have also used the Vellum Layering Designs (available now), the Gingham embossing folder (available now) and the Sending Smiles bundle (available May 3rd) and if only I had fixed that 'n' before photographing!

 

When you shop online with me in Australia, and use the monthly Host Code, you also qualify for a small thank you gift mid the month after your purchase. My customers love getting these little gifts in the mail. Here's the shop link (individual product links at the end of the post), and this month's host code.

Flower Tulips Vellum Thank You Card

Hello friends. Today is all about flowers, and tulips at that! I am using the Stampin' Up! Flowering Tulips bundle from the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue. In Australia we are now into Autumn and I will soon be planting my tulips and other bulbs for my Spring and Winter flowers. 

The Flowering Tulips bundle includes a stamp set and a set of dies which cuts out images, but also includes some dies to make 3D tulips, including layering petals for three different tulips, the flower stem and leaves. 

On this card I have also used the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. When a paper is quite bold as this one is, I often use vellum to soften some of the paper. That provides me with a focal point for the flower. To adhere the vellum, I used a cotton bud to smear a really thin layer of Multipurpose Glue on the paper until it was just tacky, and then placed the vellum on top. It adheres without the glue being visible through the vellum.

My flower is cut with Petal Pink cardstock and the petals sponged with Poppy Parade, to coordinate with the colours in the paper. My base card is Pool Party. To embellish my card I have used Linen Thread and Artistry Blooms Adhesive Backed Sequins.

If you like this card, you can still get my Flowering Tulips class as a PDF purchase anywhere worldwide on my Stamp at Home Classes page. It contains step by step instructions and measurements for this card and 5 other Flowering Tulips cards.

The Flowering Tulips stamp set has some great greetings, including the circle greeting I have used.

Stampin Up Daffodil Daydream 'Just for You' Card with Step-by-Step Instructions

Hi friends,

I made this Daffodil Daydream card on the weekend and couldn't wait to share it with you. The Daffodil Daydream stamp set and bundle is in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue, and I have also used the coordinating Daffodil Afternoon DSP. This paper is only available until March 16th as part of Saleabration (earn if FREE with a $90 order before postage).

 

Step-by-step instructions to make today's card (find any of the products used, by using the links at the end of my post):

• I started my card with a Petal Pink card base, and then added a layer (10cm x 14.3cm) of Petal Pink which I had embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder (such a gorgeous vintage effect). 
• Next I added a piece of layering vellum 9cm x 12.5cm. This is a new product in the 2022 January Mini catalogue and it's really gorgeous. There are various designs and some are printed in black, some in white. Perfect for adding some additional layers.
• Then I have added three strips of the Daffodil Afternoon DSP in coordinating patterns. Each strip is 3cm x 13cm.
• The image is stamped in black Stazon onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. It was cut out using one of the Scalloped Contour dies.
• To colour the image, I have used my Water Painter, and the following ink colours: Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink.
• My greeting is from Celebrating You stamp set in the 2022 Mini Catalogue, and is stamped in black Stazon. 
• I finished off my card with some Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim, some Linen Thread and Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots which are a carry over product from last years July to December Mini Catalogue. 

Here's a look at the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that is available to earn for 9 more days only! It coordinates so perfectly with the Daffodil Daydream  bundle. It's a 12x12" paper pack and you get 2 each of 6 double sided designs.

Stampin' Up! Australia: Sneak peeks from the 2022 January to June Mini Catalogue. NEW Blessings from Home bundle.

Hello friends.  Last weekend demonstrators got to see the first peek of the 2022 Stampin' Up! Australia January to June Mini Catalogue. Yeah!! This catalogue, along with the first Saleabration for 2022 commence on January 3rd. If you are a regular customer, you will already be on my list to mail out the catalogues during December. If you don't have a demonstrator you do regular business with, you can request to have copies sent out for free too. Just go HERE and submit your details and you will be on the list.

In the lead up to the event, and afterwards, we got to play with some of the products. Here's a card I created using Blessings of Home bundle, and Heart and Home Designer Series Paper (both from the new catalogue).

The paper I have used for the sentiment label, is the reverse of one of the DSP sheets. In fact all of the 6 patterns (you get 2 sheets of each) have a light woodgrain pattern on the reverse, adding to the versatility.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks over the next month.

Stampin' Up! Saleabration 2020 in Australia: Happy Birthday to You!

Hello stampers. First up ....

I'm excited to be back 'in the office' and ready to spread the joy and benefits of living a creative life.

We are only days away from the start of Stampin' Up!'s biggest promotion of the year, Saleabration. There are SO MANY freebies to earn during Saleabration:

• Free gifts when you spend $90 or $180 in a single transaction;
• Free gifts when you buy the starter kit to enjoy a 20% discount on your Stampin' Up! purchases;
• Free gift when you host a $500 group order or party, or submit a $500 free order yourself.

Stay tuned for more information about Saleabration in the next couple of days.

Today I wanted to show you one of the Saleabration sets you can earn with a $90 spend (before postage) in one transaction. It's called Happy Birthday to You and is a great set for colouring,

It's such a beautiful set. I have coloured this one with Stampin' Blends (Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Old Olive and Lovely Lipstick). The great news is that there will also be dies available for purchase for this set in February. The ribbon is the Rococo Rose and Gold Ribbon from the 2019 Annual Catalogue (still current until May 31st).

The background embossing folder I have used is the Parisien Flourish 3D Embossing folder in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 January to June Mini Catalogue (previously called Occasions Catalogue).

Here's another take on the same stamp set.
