Stampin' Up! September News!

I have lots of exciting Stampin' Up! news to share with you today!

Firstly, the new Autumn/Winter seasonal catalogue has just launched and runs until 31 January 2013 - if you have not received your copy please let me know and I will post one out to you.

It is no longer a 'mini', in fact it's bigger and better than ever before - 40 pages and A4 sized! Click on the link above to see all the wonderful new stamp sets and accessories and fantastic ideas for creating your autumn and winter projects.

Have you noticed that amazing ornament on the cover? It's so simple to make with the new Ornament Keepsakes stamp set and coordinating dies - and you'll save yourself money if you buy them together in a 'bundle'.

And you'll find lots more of these money-saving bundles in this catalogue too!  What a great idea from Stampin' Up!

As if that wasn't enough excitement, a new annual catalogue is just around the corner (it launches on 1 October), so that means it's time to grab yourself a bargain from the Retired Lists! So many lovely goodies are retiring from the current catalogue in order to make way for the new ones coming up - and some are a fraction of the original price - but you'll need to be quick, as these will go very quickly (in fact some have already gone).  Stampin' Up! will be updating the lists regularly.

• Click here see a list of retiring STAMP SETS 
• Click here to see a list of retiring ACCESSORIES

It's easy to order your bargains - just email me and I'll be happy to help.

You will notice from the Accessories list that all the ink pads are retiring - don't panic, Stampin' Up! are not changing the colour families, they have just made improvements to an already great product. If you love the ink pads the way they are, this could be a great opportunity for you to expand your range of colours!

And finally I have details of my September class - by popular request this will be on Wednesday 12 September (7pm - 10pm).  We will make some quick & simple Christmas cards using sets & products from the new Autumn/Winter seasonal catalogue.  Cost: £15 or free if you spend £45 on the evening.  As the class is held at my home spaces are limited, so contact me to book your place now!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Everyday Enchantment

Stampin' Up! has a fantastic promotion for the month of July!  When you spend £45 (before p&p) you will receive a gorgeous ribbon and brad pack worth £15.95 absolutely FREE!

You will get two spools of a gorgeous organdy ribbon in Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral.  The ribbon is narrow (1/8") and there is over 9 metres on each roll which gives you loads to use on all your projects.  You also get 30 1cm printed designer brads, 6 each of the 5 designs - aren't they lovely?

Are you thinking that they look familiar?  Well you'd be right because they co-ordinate with the gorgeous Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper which were part of the Sale-a-Bration promotion earlier this year. And guess what?  They have brought the papers back for a limited period!  You can now buy the papers for £9.95 - but only whilst stocks last, so you had better order your pack straight away!

I would love you to make the most of this offer and it couldn't be easier for you to get hold of these products. Just order £45 or more (before p&p) of Stampin' Up! gorgeous products and the brads and ribbons will automatically be added to your order for FREE. If, like me, you need more of the Everyday Enchantment papers, then why not order those as part of your £45?!  To place your order, just contact me and I will be happy to help.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

What's Cooking?

Are you like me and have problems with cards for men?

This is a card I rustled up using one of the stamps from the soon to be finishing Spring Mini catalogue.  I used a fab gingham technique for the background, which I got from Natasha at Two Crafty Girls via Pinterest.  It is really easy to do (albeit a little bit messy cleaning the brayer afterwards), but looks stunning I hope you agree!

Recipe
Cardstock/Paper: SU Cherry Cobbler, SU Basic Black, SU Whisper White
Ink: SU Basic Black, SU Cherry Cobbler (pad & marker)
Stamps: SU Now You're Cookin', SU Teeny Tiny Wishes
Tools/Accessories: SU Decorative Label Punch, SU Basic Black Taffeta Ribbon, SU Stripes Embossing Folder, SU Stampin' Dimensionals, Brayer, Stamp-a-ma-jig

I have inked separately parts of the Now You're Cookin' stamp and used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line the images up.  If you would like to get this stamp before the catalogue ends on Monday, please contact me and I will be happy to place your order.  There is also a fab offer on during April: if you place an order for £45 or more you can choose from one of 4 sets of Designer Series Paper for free!

Unfortunately it wasn't really barbecue weather here in the UK this weekend - macs, wellies & umbrellas were the order of the day in order to survive the weather!  Despite all the rain at the moment, it's still officially a drought where I live!

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

It's here!

I can finally reveal the new Stampin' Up! catalogue - hurrah!

There are some great new stamp sets as well as fab new products including FABRIC - yes you did read that right we now stock fabric!  There is some gorgeous new ribbon too - scallop dots (squeal with excitement here!) and some lovely new IN-COLOURS that will last for 2 years: Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Island Indigo and Wisteria Wonder (don't you just love the names Stampin' Up! comes up with for their colours?!)

To celebrate the new catalogue I am holding an Open House tomorrow (Tuesday 4 October) - 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm.  Cost is £5.00, but this includes a copy of the new catalogue (RRP: £5.95), a goody bag, door prizes, catalogue treasure hunt, 2 make and takes and some light refreshments as well as the opportunity to drool look at some of the new products!  I also have a special offer, where I will have some retiring stock for sale and if anyone purchases Retired Items which are for sale at the full price they will get the equivalent spend from the new catalogue ABSOLUTELY FREE!!  I am sure you think you read this wrong but that is right girls, for every £ you spend on retiring product you can choose products from the new catalogue absolutely FREE – Buy one get one free!!  So contact me if you would like to come along and I will give you details of my home address.

If you are unable to make it or live too far away, I can post you a copy of the new catalogue for £4.50 and if you order it by the end of this week I will even throw in a goody bag!  Alternatively you can view the catalogue on-line here.

Along with this catalogue is the launch of the new Hostess Benefits. They are so generous and if the order/workshop sales are more than £300 you can choose any item from the catalogue HALF PRICE - yes any item half price!  Contact me for more details or if you wish to book a workshop or place an order.

Finally, have you been thinking about buying the Starter Kit and becoming a Demonstrator??  WELL - This month is definitely the BEST month ever!  Why?  Not only do we have a BRAND NEW KIT for £119 (valued at over £250), but you will also get a new IN-COLOUR bundle of 5 inkpads and some cardstock absolutely FREE (worth £27.95).  Interested?  Contact me for more details about how you can join my team!
