Stampin' Up! Weekly Deals Ending 31st March

If you don't already have an Envelope Punch Board, this would be the week to buy one. At $23.96 it's a bargain, and $11 cheaper than the one sold at Spotlight. Do you need a gift for someone crafty? What would be better than the Envelope Punch Board and some paper?

Those 12" by 12" papers are perfect for making envelopes and gift boxes, and you can have a big Designer Series paper stack in the In Colors that are carrying over, or the Regals collection at $28.96 - I'll be getting one of each!!! The A4 card packs are another good buy at $8.96 - Pistachio Pudding is a retiring In Color but I do love that soft green and have already stockpiled a couple of packs. Crushed Curry returned to the colour range less than 12 months ago and is a fave of mine too.

SALE-A-BRATION finishes at the end of the month too, so if you are wanting anymore items before it's all over, this week is your last chance. Remember to claim one free item with each $90 order. You are prompted to choose at checkout in the Online Shop. I've used Best Day Ever (SAB), Dotty Angles and Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper(SAB) on my card and gift box. You can also see the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack in front.

I'd love to send you the tutorial for this cute little five-sided box made with the Envelope Punch Board, and if you order through my Online shop, use the Hostess code 6MGVWWGH and allow contact, I'll be able to post you the tutorial and a small thank you gift.

Cheers

You Made My Day CTC#15 SAB Inspiration

CASE-ing The Catty is back!
While it was nice to have a break over the festive season and our summer holidays in Australia, it is very good to be back with fresh inspiration available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-bration supplement. I've been drooling over them for several weeks now and could hardly wait for some time to get inky. You've been able to order since the 6th January, so I wonder if you have some new goodies too.

CASE means to copy and share everything, and our design team CASE Stampin' Up! catalogues, hence the title of our blog - CASE-ing The Catty. Do pop over to check out the gorgeous work of the design team members.


The SALE-A-BRATION supplement is the one I've cased this week and I've used the SAB products I earned in the Demo pre-order period. The SAB free DSP (Patterned paper) is called Best Year Ever and the colours and patterns are GORGEOUS!!! I could add, "As usual," to that statement because they are always great, and FREE with your $90 order.

Best Day Ever is the stamp set I featured and I copied the colouring of the sentiment as featured on page 5 of the supplement, but then I've actually CASE-d the grey card on page 10 of the brochure, & pictured at left.

It's another great stamp set FREE with a $90 order, You Brighten My Day. Cute, isn't it?


One of the border stamps from Dotty Angles inked with white craft ink provided the background stamping - and a bokeh effect too! I don't have a sewing machine handy, so I pierced the patterned paper, after rounding off the corners with the Envelope Punch Board corner rounder. The banner was a strip with the ends cut by hand, and another layer in Coastal Cabana die cut with Starburst Framelits.

For the cute gift packaging I have CASED an idea from a UK demonstrator, Tracey May at Bedlam & Butterflies.You need an Envelope Punch Board to make this, but if you have made the Christmas Bonbon, which was all the rage Christmas 2013, this will be a breeze. It can hold a fairly sizeable gift too with a base measuring 8.5cm or 3 inches in diameter. It is 10cm or 4 inches to the neck area and would take a small jar, a packet of sweets or treats, and actually there is still space with two of the small bottles from The Body Shop. Imagine what you can do with Easter eggs!

Leave a message if you'd be interested in doing this as a class. I'm planning for the next few months and I need your feedback to share the things you'd like to make. If you'd just like to order some products to craft at your leisure, there are links below, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Happy crafting!
