Sneak Peek at this week's Master Stamper Video Tutorial project


This week its my turn to upload a new video to the Master Stamper program.  Master Stamper is a fabulous program run in the US by the amazing Ann Clemmer, who has been a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! for a very long time!  Over the years we have not only become friends on the various Incentive Trips we have attended, but she has also now invited me to become part of her Master Stamper program.  I contribute one video tutorial per month along with a couple of other demonstrators from different parts of the world.

So even though I cant show you the full project, I thought you'd enjoy a little sneak peek of what we are making in my tutorial over on Master Stamper this week.  I've used the Incolor called "Pretty Peacock".... I just love it!  And of course new stamps and dies too :)

A big week at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair!



Wow!  Im just a little tired after a massive week at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair last week!  For 5 full days we talked, demonstrated and created our awesome Stampin'Up! products for the wonderful customers that came along to the show to see us!  I really do love these events... they are one of the highlights of my year, but they are also a LOT of work!  So yes, we are tired, but also very happy with the results!  Its really rewarding to show customers our beautiful products... and to see them react with delight.

I've included a few photos for you....

Here we are setting up the stand the day before the show...




All ready.....



Getting ready to start on Day 1:





Doing my Magnolia Lane demonstration on the stand...... showing how to stamp and then colour the Magnolias in different ways.  Everyone loved them of course!!



By the end of the week we were starting to get a little bit silly! 



But we had FUN.... and met so many wonderful people! 

Thanks to Vanessa, Karen, Lynn, Courtenay and Denielle for all your hard work, and for making this a great week.  Its great to be part of a fabulous team!  And if you came along to visit us at the stand... thank you!  We loved meeting you!

Video Tutorial: Tips on making Washi Tape Flowers (plus these cute Vintage tags!)


This week I finally played with the new Pressed Petals Speciality Washi tape.... and found out for myself just why it is called "Speciality".  I love it!  And these flowers are so fun to make that I think they might be a little bit addictive.  Plus I love how realistic they look when they are finished!  I used them on these little Vintage tags.... and so of course I thought I should make a video tutorial to show you how, so that you can make your own!

These tags come together really quickly and without a huge amount of supplies.  You'll have to watch the video and let me know what you think!  Enjoy!

Join Master Stamper for great tips, ideas and new techniques!





Last month was my first month as a designer on the Master Stamper team!  Each week there are video tutorials on there that showcase fabulous products and different techniques.  Once a month I am doing a tutorial for the project, and that happens to be this week!

Which is extra exciting because this is also NEW CATALOGUE WEEK!  Woohoo!  So I picked one of my new favourite suites of products and teamed it up with a fabulous technique to produce a super fun tutorial for members of the Master Stamper program.  (You can see a sneak peek above)

What do you get as a member of Master Stamper?  All this...

  • Videos featuring Weekly projects with PDF's to download and keep

We have several top demonstrators from around the world sharing exclusive tutorials with you each week.... and Im really excited to be part of the team! 

So of course the big question is.. how much does it cost??

To subscribe to Master Stamper costs just $15 (usd) per month.  There are no commitments, so you can cancel at any time if you no longer wish to be part of the group.   But I would definitely recommend giving it a try.... you might just stick around for a while!   My new video will be up on the Master Stamper site by the end of this week, so you really want to check that out!

Introducing the Bird Ballad Laser cut cards in this gorgeous tin!


How gorgeous is this beautiful Bird Ballad Laser cut cards in a tin??  These stunning cards and envelopes will be available in our new catalogue due out on June 4th.... so today Im doing a little "sneak peek" for you.  The cards come plain, just waiting to be decorated and embellished... and here you can see I have added the birds from the Bird Ballad stamp set.  Such a pretty set!!!  Im also doing this card at my launch this afternoon with a very lucky group of customers!

If you haven't yet feasted your eyes on the new 2019 Annual catalogue from Stampin'Up! then you need to get your hands on one of those!!!  The catalogue itself doesn't go live until the 4th June, so we still have a couple of days to grab the last retiring items from the current catalogue.  But if there is anything you need, you'll need to be quick!

Here is a pic of the new catalogue for you...



Of course I am as always holding a catalogue launch to kick-off this beautiful book... and its TODAY!  And I have ONE SPOT LEFT!!!  If you find yourself with a couple of hours free this afternoon Saturday 1st June from 2pm, then you are welcome to join us... but you'll need to click HERE to let me know you are coming along.  The cost is $20 and you'll make 3 great projects.  I have gifts for everyone, AND those coming today will also get first "dibs" on my retiring products.

If you are unable to make it today, but would like a glossy catalogue of your very own, please contact me and request one. I can send them anywhere in Australia.

A reminder too that there are some discounts in amongst the retiring products, so be sure to check those out by visiting the ONLINE STORE.


I hope to see you soon.... check back for more ideas and inspiration!!
