Texture Boutique Embossing Machine

It's embossing made easy. Texture Boutique is the perfect, portable tool to create embossed cards, tags, embellishments and more. Use it with Stampin' Up!'s Textured Impressions Embossing Folders.
Note: this machine embosses only it does not die cut.

To see a youtube video of this machine in action, click here.

If you already have the big shot, consider this tool for its portability. Works like the Big Shot, but not as bulky. If you don't have a Big Shot, then this is the tool for you.

SU have a special on where if you order the Texture Boutique and all three new Textured Impressions Embossing folders (see flyer for details) for a total of at least $90, you will qualify to get a Free Sale-A-Bration gift. You must order before 31 March in order to qualify for the free gift.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Love is the most wonderful of all feelings in this world, so they say, I've yet to experience it. But it's Valentine's Day 2014 and what better way to express your love than by making your own Valentine's card using Stampin' Up! products.

The day of romance, Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.

Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, the figure of winged Cupid and flowers, especially Roses.


Would you be my Valentine???
I have made these Valentine's Day cards to celebrate to occasion.

Club SUM Workshop 4 February 2014: Sue's Card Projects

These are the cards, my friend and fellow demonstrator, Sue demonstrated in February when I was away on holidays up the coast. The "Bee" card was pretty simply to put together, but the "Birthday" card was a lot more fiddly. I did adapt it by putting the string banner across the top instead of sticking it to the bottom front panel.

New Occasions Catalogue

Available from February to June, you can start ordering from the new Occasions catalogue now.

Here is a card I made for Chinese New Years which I sent to a friend. From the Happy Congratulations stamp set, I used the hanging lanterns to add some dimension to this card. The chinese character "Happy New Year" stamp is not SU, but one I have had for many years.

I'd like to wish all my readers and Stampin' Up! ladies a very Happy Chinese New Year and may you have wealth, health and good luck in this Year of the Horse! Kung Hei Fat Choy!
