Introducing the new wood-mount stamp set packaging! These new cases are similar to the clear-mount boxes and fit perfectly on the shelf right next to them. They also have the images and stamp set name on the spine to make your search for the right set even easier.

Starting 1 July all wood-mount sets will come in this new packaging (sneak peek sets will also be in the new boxes during the preorder). And empty cases will be available with the launch of the new catalogue. That means you can transfer all your old sets to these new boxes! There will even be a template for you to create your own label for your old stamp sets (available 1 July).

A pack of four half-size cases (9.5 x 14 cm) will sell for $8.95 AUD/$10.50 NZD and a pack of four full-size cases (19.1 x 14 cm) will be $11.95 AUD/$14.50 NZD.

Get ready for all the exciting new products in the catalogue--especially the new wood-mount boxes!

*At this point, incentive stamps will not be packaged in the new cases. And remember, translated sets are only available in clear-mount.

Not only can you use them to store your wood-mounted stamp sets, you can also use them to store your mini punches, your re-inkers, and any other craft items or accesories. See the video (made for US customers) for more information.

Colour Refresh

Announcing our Colour Refresh! We love colour and we know that you do too. Colour is fundamental to who we are and what we offer. It's important for us to stay up-to-date with colour trends so we are thrilled to share our updated line of colours, and hope you will be as excited as we are by the new possibilities!

Why now? In 2010 Stampin' Up! did a big colour renovation and shared their plans for smaller colour refreshes every three to five years to keep our colours on trend. Well it has been three years and they are excited to announce that the upcoming 2013-2014 annual catalogue will include 10 new colours (most of which are returning In Colors from previous years)! They are welcoming back some of your favourites, moving some colours around, and introducing three brand-new colours, so take a look!

Beginning on 4 April 2013, all retiring/discontinued colour products (i.e. ink, paper, ribbon, accessories, etc.) will be available only while supplies last. This means that some products will not be available through the retired list period.

 

Therefore I am letting you know that any of the retiring colour products are only available while supplies last so you can get your favourites and look forward to the exciting colours coming in the 2013-2014 annual catalogue.

If you would like to order any of the products in the retiring colour ranges, please send me an email.

Birthday Invites

My sister, Fiona is very special to us all, so with her 40th birthday approaching, we organised a big celebration on her behalf.

My role was to design and create the invitations. I went to work on the 1st April, busy making the invitations, RSVPs, maps and addressing the envelopes.  Lost of "dazzling diamonds", glitter paper and ribbon was used in the making and 100s of butterflies were hand punched. Although the actual text and invitation was printed, these had to be trimmed, glued and embellished.  I'm so happy they turned out so pretty.

I was also tasked with making over 60 cupcake boxes. Using Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink cardstock as well as cardstock from the Natural Composition Specialty DSP range.
