Nuts About You ... and nuts about this new catalogue!

Yesterday I spent some time stamping with one of my downlines, Kelly, who brought along her Nuts About You stamp set, which she had pre-ordered. My copy of this set won’t be here for a few days so I was more than happy to have a play and, of course, tap into Kelly’s great mind of ideas.

I began by CASEing a card from the new catalogue, although this project turned into a bit of a combined effort (Kelly knows I can’t stand fussy cutting!). You’ll find this card on page 239 and see that I have changed it in various ways. I used gorgeous new Mossy Meadow for the grass and, instead of leaves, there are flowers on the tree, from the Something to Say stamp set.

Nuts About You is a hostess set, so you can only get your hands on it by becoming a hostess. Fortunately there are lots of ways you can become hostess, including:

• Host a party – but get in quickly as my calendar is filling up
• Place an order of £150 or more, either on your own or with friends
• Join my Virtual Hostess Club – I still have a couple of places available
• Become a demonstrator – by holding your own classes and events, you’ll find you are frequently your own hostess!

For details of any of the above, please get in touch!

Back to the card, which you’ll notice is an odd size - it’s a standard landscape card but cut down to 3 1/4" tall. But with our lovely Envelope Punch Board I can make an envelope to fit perfectly. When I’ve finished playing with my new goodies of course...

The ribbon on this card is Lost Lagoon and it’s beautiful, really silky and easy to tie. It’s described as “soft satin ribbon with tone-on-tone stitched lines down the centre” and you’re really going to love it.  If you’d like a taster pack of these gorgeous ribbons, why not join my share?

Order your In Color share

You’ll get 1m of each In Color ribbon (5m in total) plus 10 little In Color clothes pegs (two of each colour, one patterned, one plain). All this for just £7.15 (plus postage where necessary), which is less than one full reel of ribbon!

If you want cardstock, too, you can add one sheet of A4 in each new In Color to bring the total to a very reasonable £8.75 (plus postage).

These shares are always popular so order yours today – you can do it online right here! (You don’t even need a Paypal account)...

New catalogue and an In Color share

Today is the day our lovely new catalogue goes live and I'm VERY excited!

I love this new catalogue because it makes things so much simpler for new stampers. Remember the day you first saw a Stampin' Up!® catalogue? You were probably a little overwhelmed by all the choices.  Now the brand new design shows you just what you need to make selected projects, cross referencing to products so that you can see the possibilities. 

With the launch of the new catalogue, I will also launching several product shares, as I know these are always popular. 

Today I’m starting with an In Color share, because I know how keen some of you are to get your hands on these fabulous new colours. 

Whether you love the new In Colors or still aren’t sure, this share is for you. For the In Color converts, it’s a great way to get your hands on some fab products to adorn your projects immediately. 

Not sure about the range just yet? Think of this share as a “taster pack”. For a small outlay, you can take a look at the colours and decide if they’re going to become regulars at your craft table. 

In Color share

There are eight slots in this share and you will receive:

• 1m of each In Color ribbon (5 in total)
• 10 clothes pegs, 2 of each colour, one patterned, one plain

The cost of this share is: £7.15 (please add £1 for postage if necessary)

Cardstock add-on
Want some cardstock? Why not add a sheet of each In Color A4 cardstock?

In the Cardstock add-on share, you will receive:

• 1m of each In Color ribbon (5 in total)
• 10 clothes pegs, 2 of each colour, one patterned, one plain
• 1 sheet of A4 cardstock in each In Color (5 in total)

The cost with cardstock is: £8.75 (please add £1 for postage if necessary)

You may order now via Paypal or by emailing me for other payment options.

Ribbon shares - order yours now!

I know I’m a little late to the party with this but I am running THREE shares, purchasing at the beginning of August.

Shares are a fantastic way of getting a little bit of everything. I appreciate that not everybody wants nine metres of ribbon. Or you may be struggling to decide between three or four colours and not be in a position to buy them all in one go.

Details are as follows:

Chevron Ribbon Share

- Chevron Ribbon: One metre of each colour (12 in total).

Price: £11 if you can collect from me. £12 if you require it posting.

In Color Share

- Ruffle Stretched Trim: One metre of each of the new In Colors

- Boutique Details: Five embellishments – one in each of the new In Colors

- Core’dinations Cardstock: One 12x12 sheet of each of the new In Colors

Price: £9 collected; £10 posted

Other New Ribbon Share (snappy title, eh?) 

In a slight change from my newsletter which I sent out yesterday, this will include the following:

- 3/8” Taffeta Ribbon – Pear Pizzazz: TWO metres

- 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon – Melon Mambo: ONE metre

- 1/8” Taffeta Ribbon – Bermuda Bay: ONE metre

- Seam Binding Ribbon – Soft Sky: TWO metres

- Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon – Blushing Bride: TWO metres

Price: £5 collected: £6 posted

The reason for the change is that I accidentally missed out the Bermuda Bay ribbon. To keep the price the same, I am including just one metre of each of the 1/8” taffeta ribbons. Alternatively, you may go for two metres of each and pay an extra £1. So it would be £6 collected, £7 posted.  Sorry about the confusion!

NB: These shares are not available as part of any workshop or club order.

Please email me ASAP if you’d like to take part. 

Spring/Summer catalogue shares

I spent part of Friday cutting ribbon and paper for my shares – and it  was great to see all the different designs from the Spring/Summer catalogue because, hard as it may be to believe, I don’t have everything!

I was particularly taken with Sunshine and Sprinkles, although I was surprised to discover I really liked More Amore, too – and I didn’t think it would be my sort of thing! The ribbons are all gorgeous, as well, and the good news is that I have one of each share left, so if you want it, it’s yours!

Paper share update

Now only ONE PLACE left! Please click here for details.

Paper share - places limited!

UPDATE:  Now only ONE PLACE left! 

This morning I sent out a quick email about a Designer Series Paper Share, with a view to putting it on my blog this evening when I'd got all my other jobs done. 

But I've had loads of responses already and there are now only THREE places left on this share! So hurry and, if you're too late for this one, I can put you on a waiting list until we have eight more people. 

Here are the details...  I need eight people in total but five slots are taken. I can't afford to take more than one slot for myself as I've treated myself to something very BIG and very EXCITING lately... but more about that another time!

Back to the papers, which are ALL gorgeous, as you know, but buying them all is out of most people's budget. All 13 packs (not including Patterns Stacks) would cost you £116.15. And, frankly, you'd probably never use it all. 

So, how would you like to get your hands on a little bit of EVERYTHING (not including Patterns Stacks) for £14.60? That's less than the price of a large punch!  In this share you will receive one 6”x6” square of each double-sided sheet from the following collections:

* Nursery Suite Speciality  (full pack £9.95) (NB, one of these papers is not square, so you'll receive a quarter of a circle) 

* Sweet & Sour Speciality (full pack £9.95)

* Greenhouse Gala (full pack price £8.75)

* Woodland Walk (full pack £8.75)

* Love Letter (full pack £8.75)

* Celebrations (full pack £8.75)

* Jolly Holiday (full pack £8.75)

* Lap of Luxury (full pack £8.75)

* Sunny Garden (full pack £8.75)

* Blueberry Crisp (full pack £8.75)

* Newsprint (full pack £8.75)

* Elegant Soirée (full pack £8.75)

* Play Date (full pack £8.75)

Please see pages 88-91 of the current Idea Book & Catalogue for images. Please note, you will not receive sheets from the Patterns Stacks - these are excellent value as they stand and well worth the £15.50 investment. 

The 6x6 sheets you receive can be used to make 6x6 scrapbook pages, to embellish your cards or to create other projects. You’ll soon discover which ones are your favourites and then you can order full packs if you wish.  Each sheet is double-sided. If you wish to make the most of both patterns on each sheet, put yourself down for two slots in the share.

There are only THREE slots left in this share so please email me asap to bag yourself a slot! The paper will be delivered to me for cutting, after which you can collect it from me or I can post it out to you at cost or deliver it to you at my next event. 

I will order as soon as I have enough takers for this... preferably by Monday 14th as I will be placing my usual monthly order on Tuesday 15th March.

Get your hands on all these Designer Series Papers for less than £15!

Aren’t all the Designer Series Papers in the new Stampin’ Up!® Idea Book & Catalogue gorgeous? Wouldn’t you love to get your hands on all of them? The problem is, if you buy all 13 packs (not 

including Patterns Stacks), it will cost you £116.15... and it would take you ages to get through it all!

So, how would you like to get your hands on a little bit of EVERYTHING (not including Patterns Stacks) for just £14.60? In this share you will receive one 6”x6” square of each double-sided sheet from the following collections:

*   Nursery Suite Speciality  (full pack £9.95) *   Sweet & Sour Speciality (full pack £9.95) *   Greenhouse Gala (full pack price £8.75) *   Woodland Walk (full pack £8.75) *   Love Letter (full pack £8.75) *   Celebrations (full pack £8.75) *   Jolly Holiday (full pack £8.75)

*   Lap of Luxury (full pack £8.75) *   Sunny Garden (full pack £8.75) *   Blueberry Crisp (full pack £8.75) *   Newsprint (full pack £8.75) *   Elegant Soirée (full pack £8.75) *   Play Date (full pack £8.75)

  

Use these sheets to make 6x6 scrapbook pages, to embellish your cards or to create other projects. You’ll soon discover which ones are your favourites and then you can order full packs if you wish.

Each sheet is double-sided. If you wish to make the most of both patterns on each sheet, put yourself down for two slots in the share.

There are only SEVEN slots in this share (because I want a pack!) so please book early to bag yourself a slot! The paper will be delivered to me for cutting, after which you can collect it from me or I can post it out to you at cost. Please email me asap to reserve your slot! 

The painless way to get a full set of markers

Do you love markers? Do you only dream of owning the full set of Stampin’ Up!® Stampin’ Write markers in their handy storage box?

You can buy each colour family for £24.95 for 12 markers – £2.08 per marker. But if you want the lovely storage box so that you can store them easily and horizontally to keep both tips inked evenly, you have to buy the full set in one go for £99.95... until now.

Yes, I have a cunning plan. All it needs is four people who all want the full set of markers in the box and are willing to spend £24.95 a month for four months. I’ll even pay your shipping!* It’s
a perfect plan for those who aren’t able, or can’t bring themselves, to fork out £99.95 all at once. And, when you receive your final set of markers, you’ll get the box to put them all in, too!

* Free shipping is offered by me and only applies to the markers, not to any other items ordered. If postage is required to your home, this will be charged at cost for recorded delivery.

Flower Fusion Share

Sorry for the lack of posts - been too busy prepping workshops to get round to any actual stamping! No project to show you today but I do have a fab offer for you. Read on to find out more...

If you wish you could try more products without the outlay of a whole pack, then shares are for you!

Shares are a great way to get your hands on smaller quantities of products. The Flower Fusion felt flowers will add funky texture to your projects. You can use them on cards, scrapbook pages, gift items – and even make hair ornaments out of them. And with Stampin’ Up! you can have fully co-ordinated projects with matching ribbon, too.

Here’s what you’ll get in the Flower Fusion share:

• 30 felt flowers in a mixture of Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Rose Red
• 3 metres of ¼” Grosgrain Ribbon in Pumpkin Pie
• 3 metres of 5/8” Grosgrain Ribbon in Old Olive
• 2 metres of 1” Double-Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon in Rose Red

Four people are needed for each share. Payment is due when I have group of four - and the great news is that I already have three people signed up so only need one more to enable me to order straight away before I start looking for the next four... and maybe even the next!

The cost of this share is £7.60 including postage. The products will be delivered to me for sorting and then we’ll arrange delivery or collection. Please email me if you'd like to take part.
