Hanging Stockings

13 October, 2011 2 Comments

I have a busy weekend coming up with not one but two Stamp A Stacks and both ladies wanted cards with the Stitched Stockings & Stocking Tag Punch so I thought I’d make a new card to share with them.

I have seen a couple of  cards recently and I wanted to combine a couple of the elements into the one card. So this is a result of the cards I saw from Jackie Bolhuis and Belinda Tubby – thanks ladies for the inspiration!

Here is my card ….

I love how this turned out and I’m happy too as I managed to use up some of my retired Designer SEries Paper!!

How cute are those mini Brads?? They are going to be perfect for alot of new cards where the other brads were too much or too big.

I hope you like my card and now I best be off and finish the kits for the weekend … just have to cut enough cardstock to make 30 of these little cards!!

Now dont forget when you hold a workshop and your sales reach $450 then you can get this stamp set and the matching punch absolutely free!! Now dont stress – if you still want the punch & stamp set you can purchase them during the month of October :)

Item Description Price
125798 Stitched Stocking Wood-Mount Set $53.95
123784 Stitched Stocking Clear-Mount Set $42.95
124095 Stocking Tag Punch $33.95

Feel free to email or ring me to place your order or book your workshop in!

Manager’s Reception

24 May, 2010 3 Comments

Well I cant believe its been over a week since I posted – I’m so sorry!

We had our annual Stampin’ Up! convention this past weekend in Sydney and I was rather busy getting ready for that and making sure the family had all they needed.

Convention Officially started at 7am on Friday morning however there was a special reception on the Thursday night for those who have achieved Manager level and above.  Stampin’ Up! does this every year though in the past it was held on the Friday evening so it was nice to be treated early :)

We were then seated  for a hello and update from the very lovely Shelli Gardner. Shelli is such a lovely woman full of grace and so giving of her time.  She expressed her thanks for all we do and how hard we work. We were then ushered into another room where they were serving hot chocolates in these huge cups. It wasnt like any hot chocolate I make at home – they drizzled melted chocolate down the sides of the cups and then filled them with steamed frothy milk – talk about divine!!

Mind you no one wanted to give the cups back as they were so nice and had the lovely image from the Share a Cup stamp set.  This is when we were told that it was OK as when we left we’d be given one of the these very cups of our own complete with the Share A Cup stamp inside!

How cool are these cups?

Now I know that you know how much I love the ‘occasional’ cup of coffee but this is one huge cup! Its probably the size of two soup mugs! So I think I’ll use it on my desk to keep my Clear Mount Blocks in and various other bits and pieces.

Stampin’ Up! really do spoil their Demonstrators and you will see more of that ‘spoiling’ over the next few days with my sharing from Convention.

If you were ever contemplating becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and joining my team well now is the time!  From now until the end of July you can join Stampin’ Up! and receive 20% off the kit price!  This means you now get $590 value for just $259! Who knows – next year you too could be attending the Manager’s reception and receiving your own free gift from Stampin’ Up!  There are many more rewards you can achieve so please dont hesitate to ring me if you wish for more details.

Not only that – I will have a bonus gift for you when you join my Stamp A Latte team. As I have a Demonstrator Business Website its even easier for you to join as you dont have to fill out any forms – you can do it all online! All you need is an Australian Business Number and a credit card – how easy is that? So ring or email me today if you need more information or any help at all with joining my team.

Diva Sketch Birthday

15 May, 2010 10 Comments

This weekend is a special Utah Divas International Sketch as it also happens to be our lovely Sketch Queen Carol’s birthday!

So Carol wishing you a doubly blessed birthday for today and may you be blessed with lots of love, presents and cake! Make sure you have an extra piece on my behalf!

Now as I’ll be at the Stampin’ Up!® Convention in Sydney next weekend and Miss E has her best friend’s birthday party to go to I thought I’d make this card for Alanis now.  Means I wont stress on Wednesday night when I’ve realised I haven’t done it!

Now Miss E and her friend are going through a ‘not pink’ phase so this is why we’ve gone with orange and red which are Alanis’ favourite colours.

Recipe
Stamps: Party Hearty, Sweet Little Sentiments
Inks: So Saffron, Real Red, Only Orange, Pixie Pink, Summer Sun
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White, Washington Apple
Accessories: Real Red Brad, stampin dimensionals, mat pack, paper piercing tool, circle scissor plus, snail adhesive.

I do hope you like the card. I quite like it even though these are colours I wouldnt normally use but I do like the Washington Apple DSP and should really use it more – its suitable for both male and female cards and projects.

I still have lots to get done before Thursday and am really excited to be meeting alot of lovely demonstrator friends I’ve made through the ESAD-SU group and some I’ll be meeting for the first time this year.

Thursday night is the Manager’s Reception – this is for all demonstrators of Manager level (me) and above to meet the staff from Head Offices in Australia and New Zealand as well as Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder) and the team from the Home Office in Utah.

Then Convention kicks off early Friday morning and finishes on Saturday night with the awards dinner.

Its all very exciting and really not sure I can wait another 5 sleeps!

Now its time to skip onto the lovely Max’s blog - Max is actually the lady who started Utah Divas group many moons ago and is very blessed as she works at the Stampin Up! Home Office in Utah, USA.

Sale A Bration Spectacular Update

9 February, 2010 4 Comments

Well what an awesome day Saturday was at our SaleABration Spectacular!

We had 46 people come for the day and we all had lots of fun and all the ladies worked hard making all those projects we’d set up for them – they made 8 projects in all and with quite a few going home with door prizes or raffle prizes!

Here is a slideshow of how things looked before everyone arrived ….

Here are the make n takes that I made for the day ….

There were 8 make n takes in all and the other six were created by my lovely fellow demonstrators – Lisa, Jossleen and Clare.  We had some make n take kits leftover so I managed to grab a couple of kits so I can make up the make n takes too.  Now I have some of my kits left over so if you’d like a kit for the above make n takes then please email me with your address and I’ll post them to you.

I do hope those who were there on the day had as good a time as I did!

Stampin’ Up!® Convention

5 May, 2009 12 Comments

Well what an awesome weekend it was in Canberra, Australia this past weekend. I think I’m still coming back down to earth!

This was the third Stampin’ Up!® Convention held in Australia and I’ve been to each one and I must say they just keep getting better and better! Stampin’ Up! is such a giving company and to have the founder of the Company make the trip here and be so gracious and happy to talk to anyone who wants to still amazes me – there arent many Company owners that would do that.

leonieshelliShelli Gardner is such an amazing woman and one so full of grace – much like those described in Proverbs and one who is not afraid to show her emotions whether she’s with one or two or four hundred. I have nothing but admiration for her.

Here I am with Shelli after the dinner and awards night.

It was an amazing night with a lot of women being awarded for their hard work and dedication. awardpins

I was very surprised to find that when I checked in on Friday morning that I was receiving not one but two awards!  How sweet is that!!

Here are the pins that I received when I checked in. The celebrate pin is just for those attending convention as this was the theme this year.

The 20K  pin is for those who sold between $20,000 and $30,000 – I was very close to getting the 30K pin but just could justify the extra spending to get there – besides there is always next year!

The Leadership pin is for having promotions in my first level of downline. This is the one I didnt realise I was getting and was very blessed to receive it. I do have a lovely team of girls and am blessed to also call them friends.

Another highlight of Convention was catching up with friends.  A couple of demo’s that have become close friends over the past 12 months are the gorgeous Nicki Tidbold and Stephanie Pike – and here we are after the awards night.stephleonienicki

Its with these two gorgeous ladies and Makeesha Byl that the ESAD-SU Demonstrator group was started and with all our members at convention I was totally blessed by all who came up to me to say hello. We also organised a brunch on the Sunday morning for the ESAD members and with some 40 crazy women stampers the staff at Tossolini’s in Canberra really do need to be congratulated – the food was lovely and the coffee even better!

If you have been thinking about joining Stampin’ Up! now is the perfect time. To celebrate Scrapbooking month Stampin’ Up! have brought out a Scrapping Starter Kit so you can join for just $150.00! How cool is that? to purchase your own business for just $150.00 and to run it when it suites you is pretty cool. Stampin’ Up! has given me the opportunity to work when it suites me and my family and allows me to be home when the kids get home from school. Something that is very important and also something that doesnt happen much these days.

Being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator means you can do as little or as much as you like and when you like. If you dont want to do demonstrations then that is fine – you can be a hobby demonstrator and buy for you and your friends if thats all you want to do. There are no penalties and no annual fees to pay each year.

The Scrapbooking Starter Kit contains the following:

Item Code Description Retail Value
112231 Schoolbook Serif Alphabet stamp set* $77.95
113059 Simply Scrappin’ Petal Party $36.95
108697 Earth Elements Assorted textured card stock (12″ x 12″) $21.95
105216 Pumpkin Pie Classic Stampin’ Pad $11.95
103179 Craft & Rubber Scissors $37.95

*Substitutable for any stamp set up to $77.95 value.

So if you are interested or if you have any questions then please email or ring me right away! Oh and dont forgt to ask what my extra special bonus is for joining my team. Hope to hear from you soon!
