The May Sweet Strawberry International Tutorial bundle



I've been sitting on this one for a bit, as there has been soooo much going on this month!  But I wanted to share this very cool thing with you all. Im honoured to have been invited to be part of a new team of demonstrators who are working on Tutorial bundles each month.  The team are demonstrators from all around the world and we all have one thing in common.... we love to create!!  This month (May) we focused on the awesome Sweet Strawberry bundle and it was our job to each design a card, and then product a written tutorial that others can follow. The resulting PDF is a substantial document - You'll find 14 different projects together with complete instructions on how to make each project.  Sneak peeks of the bundle are in the picture above!

How do you get it?  Well if you've placed orders over $60 with me in May you will automatically qualify.  But no matter where in the world you are, you can still purchase the Tutorial package if you wish.  The bundle costs $25 aud and is available in English currently. 

I've set up a Paypal button for anyone who wishes to purchase the bundle.  If you are overseas Paypal automatically does the currency conversion for you.  Here is the button to click to purchase the bundle:




Of course if you are placing an order of $60 or more through my store that will automatically qualify you for the bundle.  (If you have already placed an order this month you are already in!)

In June there will be a different Tutorial bundle featuring different products, so stay tuned for that!

Here's a quick look at all the contributors for this bundle (you just might see someone you recognise!)





And here's my sneak peek:



So hop to it!  You can purchase the bundle with the Paypal button above, or place an order in May with me that is over $60.  I know you will love our bundle!

Expressions in Ink Online Speciality Class - Registrations are open NOW! (Last day to register is Friday May 28th 2021)

 


Welcome to my latest Online Specialty Class!  This month we are making 3 lovely projects and I'll be working with some of our gorgeous new products from our brand new Annual catalogue - its the divine Expressions in Ink Suite.  

Of course Im not giving away all my secrets today... that would be telling!   But I think you will really love these projects.  I've posted just a "sneak peek" of the projects above - so you can get an idea of the colours and style of what we are making.  


There are two options to register:

1. Tutorial Only - $20


No matter where you are in the world you are welcome to purchase the "Tutorial Only" option. I have set up a Paypal button for this. You will receive the link to the video tutorial within 48 hours of placing your order, and can follow the instructions using whatever stamps and products you have in your stash, and at a time to suit you! (Please note I have used products from the Hand-Penned suite). The cost for this option is $20aud. I have set up a Paypal button for this below. Or you can contact me to make payment.
[Please note I am using the Ombre Gift Bags in the class, as well as dies from the Expressions in Ink suite. These will be sent out with the supplies, however if you are receiving the Tutorial only, feel free to substitute with similar items, or contact your demonstrator to purchase them]
2. Class pack and Tutorial.
If you are in Australia and would like me to send out the materials to make these projects as well as the video tutorial showing how to put it together then all you need to do is place an order of $50 or more with me through my ONLINE STORE and when you check out be sure to use the Host Code RCGEXQNN. This Host Code will identify that you wish to be part of the class so that I can send the materials out. Click the SHOP NOW button to go shopping!

The video link will be sent to you by email within 48 hours of placing your order. This Online Class option will be open to register until Friday May 28th 2021, OR until sold out. Last class packs will be in the mail by Monday 31st May if not earlier.

Please note that the materials sent out will include the die cut or punched shapes needed for this project.... all you need to do is stamp and assemble it together. (You do not have to own the stamp sets I have used - you can substitute with any suitable sentiment stamps you have in your collection) Here is my Recommended list of items to help you put the projects together:

Suggested Inks:
Pale Papaya (or Calypso Coral will suffice)
Evening Evergreen
Polished Pink (Or Magenta Madness will suffice)
Pear Pizzazz

Suggested Adhesvies:
Seal or Seal +
or Tombow Multipurpose glue
Dimensionals
Mini Glue Dots
Other:

Scissors (To cut ribbon)
Blending Brushes OR sponge daubers
Water Painters or a small brush



And here's the best bit.... you can add anything you like to your order (as long as you use the host code RCGEXQNN when checking out)... and that includes sale or clearance items, or items from any current catalogue.



I hope you will join me for this Online class this month... and that you enjoy these gorgeous projects! I think you will love them! Feel free to CONTACT ME if you have any questions at all.

Why should you join Stampin' Up?? Join now and get a great deal!


 Hello friends!  

You might know already that Stampin'Up are having a fabulous joining special this month and I wanted to tell you a bit more about it.  

Here's the deal: Our joining price is $169.  Right now, just until May 31st, you can join for that price, BUT you'll get extra products in your starter kit... in fact $114 worth of extra products.  And you get to pick them yourself!  

Just say you have a big order to put through.  It comes to over $200 and you've been saving your money for the right time.  Right now you could pay only $169 AND you get to pick whatever you like up to $283 worth.  

Being a demonstrator is like being a VIP customer! You get all the same specials that customers get, but you get your demonstrator discount ON TOP OF any promotions or discounts offered to customers.  

Many demonstrators join for the discount, and thats perfectly ok. But my two favourite benefits of being a demonstrator are 1. Our community and 2 the creativity it offers.  I adore my Stampin'Up sisters, and I love how share and create together.  I did not expect that when I joined, and its my favourite thing!  Our team is made up of all kinds of crafters and we have a great little community. 

Also I love all the creative opportunities I get as a demonstrator... and you just might love that too! 

If you have any questions AT ALL about being a demonstrator, or you need more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.  Or if you think you are ready to jump right in, click this link HERE


I'd love to have you join us!

This week on my Facebook Live video we made this great card with the gorgeous Expressions in Ink suite of products. In particular I focused on the gorgeous DSP in the suite. 

I uploaded the replay of the video to YouTube so that those of you not on Facebook can still enjoy it. 

I love my Friday night Facebook Lives... its fun to put a little time aside and to create whilst chatting and I love hearing your suggestions too.

Flowers of Friendship card for class this week




Hello friends! 

I hope you are all well and safe wherever you may be.  This week I have my monthly card class at the Taste of the Country cafe at Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley.  Its a full day of crafting and chatting and food and I look forward to meeting this wonderful group of women each and every month.  This month of course I get to share the brand new Annual Catalogue with them.  So we will be creating with lots of new products... including this great new Stamp set and matching punch bundle.  

The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship, and I would call this a simple line drawing image set.  The matching punch punches out some of the flowers and leaves, and you can see how they co-ordinate with the other images in the set.  Here I have coloured the flowers with our Stampin' Blends Alcohol markers.  The jar is from the Jar of Flowers stamp set, and I punched out an acetate jar with the matching punch.  

If you would like to purchase these or any other Stampin'Up products, please click HERE to visit my Online store (or click the SHOP NOW button)

I hope your day is fabulous!  Check back to see what else I've been busy creating!

Video Tutorial: Tips and ideas for using the Pansy Dies from Stampin'Up!

 


How cool are these cards?  I made them with the lovely Pansy Dies from the Pansy Petal suite of products. I just love them! The suite is amazing and consists of the Pansy Patch stamp set, the matching Pansy dies, the Pansy Petals 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and the Bumblebee trinkets. I've included a full list of items used to make this card at the bottom of this post.  Remember everything you see in my posts is available in my Online Store, so click the shop now button to go shopping!


After I made the video I realised I should have added a Bumblebee Trinket:
