Hello and welcome to our latest CraftAlong event! CraftAlong is a monthly class where I teach a technique or special type of project. This month we are focusing on Tri Fold cards, and I am excited to share my projects with you! In the public video that I did earlier today we make this very cool Tri Fold card:
It opens up to reveal a little surprise inside. If you would like to see the video click the image below:
In addition to our main card, I have also prepared tutorials for 4 other alternate projects. The tutorials are step by step videos that show you exactly how to make each project. Here are the projects this month:
And here's the fun thing... this month I have used brand new products from our upcoming catalogue for the alternate projects! I hope you love them!
So how do you get these tutorials? There are two options:
1. If you placed an order with me in November over $60 you will automatically receive these tutorials for free. You dont need to do anything... just keep an eye on your email inbox for it to arrive.
2. Or you can purchase these tutorials. The cost for all the tutorials plus the PDF with all the measurements is $15aud (which is about $10usd). I have provided a Paypal button below so you can have them drop into your email, no matter where in the world you are!

So I have made this month's event to fall on Wedesday the 29th November at 2pm (Sydney time).
CraftAlong is a live public crafting event where I go live on YouTube and you are welcome to craft along with me, or you can watch either the live or replay and make the project later. Either way, the video is full of tips and step-by-step instructions to make the project. This month we are featuring the Meandering Meadow suite collection and I know you are going to love it!
For those that made a qualifying purchase with me in October you will be receiving a supply pack to make the project in your mailbox. Everything you need is included except adhesive and sentiment stamps and ink that you might want to add. The November project is a fun-fold card that you will really enjoy.

It's November and we have some fun new products for you to play with! I've also been playing with some of them, and I am loving the projects I've created. The card above uses the Meandering Meadow suite of products - including the Designer Series Paper which is simply divine.
I made this card on one of my Live video tutorials, so if you would like to see these products in action click the image below:
And here is another card I made with the same paper pack:
The awesome thing about this DSP pack is that you dont need to add a lot to it to make a stunning card - the DSP really does all the work!
But this suite isnt all that is new... there are lots of awesome products in this latest release. The best way to see them is to head to the ONLINE STORE, and click on "Online Exclusives".

Thanks for being part of my CraftAlong event this month!
Our monthly CraftAlong event is coming up this Saturday the 28th October and you're invited!
CraftAlong is something I've been doing for well over a year now, and its purpose to create a fun and safe space for us all to create a project together. I do a live video that anyone can watch, and you can watch whilst I make the chosen project each month... or if you wish you can craft along with me! I find that many people like to just watch the first time, and then later they come back and make the project on the second watch.
Each month I choose a different theme, and this month, as it is October, I have chosen to feature a "Breast Cancer Awareness" theme. So you'll be seeing a lot of pink and you'll see me talking about Breast Cancer research and how important it is that we keep this in mind.
So if you are free, I would love you to watch our video next Saturday, 28th October @ 2pm (Sydney time). Or you are welcome to watch the replay! Here is the link to the video:
Also I am going to be donating to the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) as follows:
10% of all orders received from now until the end of this month.
$5 for every tutorial pdfs sold (Tutorial pdfs are $15 each, and will be available after the public CraftAlong event)
For those that placed orders over $60 with me last month (September) I have mailed each of you a supply pack for the items you will need to make your card. They should arrive in the next couple of days.
If you did not receive a supply pack then I have listed some items below that you will need to make the project:
Basic White for cardbase (preferably thick) measured to 21cm x 14.8cm
Bubble Bath cardstock measured to 10cm x 14.3cm
A piece of pink and white DSP (I used a piece from the Delightfully Eclectic DSP)
4 Strips of Silver Glimmer paper paper measured to approximately 7mm (1/4") wide x 10cm long
1 scrap of Silver Snowflake Magic DSP to cut 2" square. You could also use silver foil or even pink or white cardstock
1 scrap of Basic White to cut small banner for sentiment
14cm length of Bubble Bath ribbon
Embellishments of choice. I used the Berry Burst sequins from the Sequin trio pack
Of course you are welcome to substitute any items as necessary.
I used the Stylish Shapes dies (the square and the banner)
I stamped my sentiment with Berry Burst ink but you can use any pink of your choice
As for sentiments this is up to you but suggestions would include "Thinking of you", "You're in my thoughts" or something simple like "For you". I used the "Thinking of you" from the Season of Chic stamp set.
I know you will love this project and Im really looking forward to making it with you!
This year Stampin'Up is celebrating 35 years in business. Thats a seriously long time! I've had the pleasure of being a Stampin'Up demonstrator for 17 years, and I just love it. I highly recommend it to you!

Option 1: Join Stampin'Up between now and the end of October and you will receive 35% OFF the price of the Demonstrator starter kit. That means the kit is $109.85 instead of $169.

Option 2: Join Stampin'Up between now and the end of October and get 35% extra value you in your Demonstrator Starter kit. In this instance you pay the regular price of $169 but instead of getting $235 worth of value, you can choose up to $317.25 worth!

Im so looking forward to creating with you on the 23rd... and I really hope you will love our projects this month!
I'd like to invite you to be part of my BOGO SALE (Buy one, Get One free) on some of my retired items. It starts tomorrow 30th August, and will continue until the 31st August. Depending on whether we have many items left available I may continue it on the 1st September, but this is yet to be determined. Items are available to the first person to claim them. Please note I can accept orders from Australian customers only.
How will it work?
1. To be part of the BOGO event you need to be a member of my Private VIP Group.- PLEASE NOTE THIS GROUP IS FOR AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS ONLY.If you are in Australia but are not a member of the group you can find itHEREand request to join.
2. Choose the retired items you want. Then send me an email (Click HERE) to give me your list of items. I will set those aside for you. Please note that this will work on a "first come, first served" basis, in the order the emails are received.
3. I will send you a reply email to confirm which items I am able to supply that you have requested. If the requested item has already been nabbed by someone else I will let you know. I will give you the total amount of the order. And will also confirm the postage amount. FYI postage for a total of items under 5kg will be $10.90. I will also give you a host code to use.
4. Place your order for the stated amount via theOnline storeusing the host code. You have 24 hours from when I email you to place your order. Please note that if you do not place your order within 24 hours that the retired items will be back up for grabs. PLEASE NOTE: IF your order is over $250 DO NOT use the host code... instead you will receive host benefits on your order.
5. Once your order has been placed I will send you a Paypal invoice for the shipping on the retired stock. You do not need to have a Paypal account to pay the invoice.
6. Wait for your items to arrive! I will ship all items within 48 hours of when you pay your shipping invoice. So the faster you pay, the faster your items will be mailed out.
Note: if you are using Bonus Days vouchers, the value of the order needs to calculated AFTER the bonus days vouchers have been used.
All stamps and tools are in gently used condition (a few are in new condition). Some photopolymer stamps are stained but this does not affect how they stamp. Everything is listed at full retail value because you are getting them for free.
I will do my best to get to emails promptly and update the BOGO whenever I can. However, there may be some lag time between when your email is sent and when I respond. And if you email me late at night I might not get back to you until the following morning.
Item photographs will be posted on Wednesday morning, 30th August, at 8am.
Good luck with the sale and... may the odds be ever in your favour!
I have been asked many times to show how to make Masculine cards. Many times I've been told by my customers that when it comes to guy cards, they just dont know where to start. So this class is for anyone that has struggled in this area.
I believe that if you take several factors into account, Masculine cards become quite easy to create. And in this class this month I show you how to do just that.
This month's class begins, as always, with a live public video - its free to watch and full of great tips and ideas. This was held on the weekend, but dont worry... you can watch the replay anytime. In the live video we made the card you see above.
Here is the video below if you havent seen it yet:
During this video I also showed all the alternative projects that I have also made tutorials for this month. I'm posting these cards again below. There is a tutorial for each project, and the measurements are provided in both Imperial and in Metric. So no matter where you are in the world you can watch the videos and have access to all the measurements as well.
There are two ways to get your hands on these fabulous tutorials:
1. If you ordered $60 or more in products with me last month OR if you are a team member, then you will automatically receive these tutorials in your email inbox very shortly.
2. But if thats not you, then you are very welcome to purchase them. This option is available no matter where in the world you are. You will receive a PDF document with all the measurements for all the cards (in both imperial AND metric), as well as links to all the step-by-step videos to help you make these lovely projects. The cost for this is $15aud. To purchase them click the button below:
Hello and welcome to another month with the Global Stampin' Video Hop team! This month our theme is Fun Fold cards, and I used a fun fold design from a card I received on the recent Incentive trip to Norway. The card was by Amy Rich, and I really loved the design. I wasnt sure what to call it though, so I called it the "Secret Flap Fun Fold" card - because there's a secret flap inside where you write your greeting.
I recreated the card in metric but also with a few "tweaks". I hope you love it.
If you would like to watch the video you will find the link below:
Here are the basic measurements:
Boho Blue CS - 23cm x 10.5cm (score at 14.8cm on long side)
White CS - 25cm x 8.5 (Score at 12.5cm on long side)
