NEW CATALOGUE HAS COMMENCED

How exciting! We can now order from the new catalogue. I have just received some more new catalogues if you would like one and I have updated the link on my blog so you can view it online if you are having withdrawals on your lunch break ...

BIG SHOT PRICE REDUCTION

Were you putting off buying the Big Shot because it was $179.95? Well, the Big Shot is now $149.95! No more excuses and your cardmaking (and scrapbooking) will reach a whole new level of WOW!

BECOME A STAMPIN' UP! V.I.P.


SU! have announced a fabulous new promotion for new demonstrators - but let's call you SU! V.I.P.'s instead as you don't need to actually hold workshops to take advantage of the same benefits as me!

Between 1 and 30 September, you can order a limited-edition Mini Starter Kit for just $169 OR order the full Starter Kit for 20% off the regular bargain price of $289 - that's $231!

So, what do you get in the Mini Starter Kit??

That's $310 worth of value for $169 and you don't need an ABN.

Already got some of this gear? No problem - you can can substitute a similar item of equal or lesser value.

What are the perks of being a V.I.P.? You will receive 30% off your first order, sneak-peaks and be able to pre-order some upcoming products 1 month early, join the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Connection networking and sharing website and, best of all, receive a 20% discount on all of your products.

The full Starter Kit is over $50 off the already amazing standard price. You will receive $610 worth of products for the discounted price of $231. You can see what's included in the standard kit on page 169 of the catalogue and, again, you can substitue similar items of equal or lesser value.

What a lot of news!

I am almost ready to post photos of my new craft room ... almost! There is still some stuff on the floor that is yet to find a home - maybe next week ;)

5 Capricorn Street, Bentley Park

Have a great week.

It's all very feminine this week!

This week's cards were inspired by a fantastic presentation by Vanessa Webb at the Melbourne SU! Convention in May. We will be using the Big Shot adhesive sheets and fabric to create these very feminine cards. The butterflies and scallop envelope are die cut and embossed for some great dimension.


Usual details:-

Friday 12 August 7.30pm and Tuesday 15 August 10am
5 Capricorn Street, Bentley Park
$20 for the set - all materials, equipment and coffee provided

I should receive my pre-ordered sneaky-peaky items from the new catalogue on Friday - wahoo! I'd like to say watch this space for some sneaky-peaky samples but my craft room is in a shambles as I move it to the (bigger) spare room ... one more week should do it!

Happy crafting.
