Online Extravaganza Sale | 23 - 28 November 2018



SIX DAYS. THREE SALES. ONE SPECTACULAR PROMOTION!


For savvy shoppers everywhere, this time of year is a dream come true. Some of the biggest sales of the year are happening, which means some of the biggest savings are, too! I hope you are ready to save big, because Stampin' Up! are throwing a spectacular six-day promotion with exclusive, limited-time deals. Get ready for Online Extravaganza!

Online Extravaganza will run for six days. During this time, Stampin' Up! will be having three, 48-hour sales featuring a selection of products from the 2018–2019 annual catalogue—all at 10% off!

Each 48-hour sale will feature two product categories (e.g., paper, stamps, ink, etc.). When one sale ends, the next sale begins; this cycle will continue until Online Extravaganza is over.

By the end, nearly every item from the annual catalogue will have been on sale!

So write up your shopping list now ready for the start of each sale.

Make sure you don't wait, as item quantities are limited and if stocks at the sale price are depleted before the end of the 48hr sale, the item will be unavailable to purchase at a discount (items will be available again shortly after the sale ends). Avoid disappointment and be ready early :)

Not every item will end up being on sale, as some exclusions apply. These include Host Sets, Big Shot, Stamparatus & Bundles, plus a few specific individual items.

Each sale begins and ends at midnight.

Garden Impressions Suite | Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Challenge #018


Hi and thanks for visiting :)

Today marks the start of our latest fortnightly challenge over on the Aussies Who Love Stampin' Up! Facebook Group.

Our latest challenge #AWLSU018 is a CASE the Catty challenge. Where you Copy And Selectively Edit one of the below images.



Myself and the other group admins will share our creations to start off each challenge and hopefully help kick-start and inspire your creativity.


If you live in Australia and are interested in participating in our fortnightly challenges, click here to join the group :)

****************************************

I chose to CASE the top left "deck the halls" card. Even though the CASE images are Christmas themed, that doesn't mean you have to keep that theme. I went for something completely un-christmassy. Hope you like it :)




My colour combination of Mango Melody, Night of Navy, So Saffron & Very Vanilla came from the piece of Designer Series Paper I used.

All the items used in my card today, come from the Garden Impressions Suite and include the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set (for my sentiment), Springtime Impressions Thinlits (die cut butterfly) and the Garden Impressions 6x6 Designer Series Paper.

The stamp set and co-ordinating thinlits are available to purchase as a bundle at a 10% discount.




The cardbase is So Saffron and the die cut butterfly and banner piece use Mango Melody cardstock. My sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.

All the pieces were stuck together using some multipurpose liquid glue and once dry, adhered to my cardbase using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

This card was pretty quick and quite easy to put together and would suit anyone from a beginner cardmaker to a more advanced/veteran cardmaker. I hope you give it a try :)     #simplestamping

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Dena Rekow


Welcome and thank you for joining me in a special Crazy Crafters team blog hop.

We are hopping with a special guest - The very creative Dena Rekow from the United States.

The theme of this blog hop was to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) one of Dena's cards.


Here is the card of Dena's that I chose to CASE:


To checkout Dena's card in more detail click here.


The greens I used for my card were chosen from the 2017-19 In Colors, which are the latest Colour Inkspiration challenge colours #45, gotta love when a challenge helps you make up your mind :) 




************************




As you can see my layout is very similar to Dena's. I went with only 2 greens, Tranquil Tide & Lemon Lime Twist.

I kept this super simple and only used 1 stamp set: Tropical Chic (this is pretty unusual for me because I tend to mix and match images and sentiments from different sets) and to keep it Clean and Simple, I resisted the temptation to add some ribbon or embellishments.

If you are new to stamping, this card is definitely one to try as you don't need many supplies and it is super quick and easy. #simplestamping

Retro Rubber Challenge | Wondrous Wreath Christmas Cards

Hi and thanks for visiting :)

Today I want to share a couple of Christmas cards I created using some favourite retired Christmas themed Stamp Sets.

My wreath was created using the Wondrous Wreath stamp set & the co-ordinating Wonderful Wreath Framelits and sentiment came from the Bright & Beautiful stamp set.

I have had both of these sets for over 4 years and they are still up there with some of my all time favourite Christmas stamps.

I have included these cards in the latest Retro Rubber Challenge #99 Anything Goes.






Which is your favourite placing of the bow? Top or bottom of the wreath.
I liked both so made some of each.


The cherries on the wreath had a little sparkle added by using my retired Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.
