Colour Your Season

by Kylie August 1, 2018

written by Kylie

Hi Everyone, can you believe we are now in August?! I don’t know about you but, for me, this year has been passing by at such a fast rate. Thank you all for your support and patience while I have been moving house and then again when I had no internet. I am hopeful the internet issue has now been resolved and I can start sharing again.

This is another BIG month in the Stampin’ Up! world and I cannot wait to tell you all about it. This is going to be a big post so you might want to make sure you have a cuppa (and maybe a Tim Tam!) before you start to read. Any excuse to have a Tim Tam. 🙂

Colour Your Season

From 1 August to 31st August 2018, get in the mood to create something full of colours and seasons! Introducing the all-new, limited-time Colour Your Season products:

- Blended Seasons Stamp Set, an exclusive 10-piece wood- or clear-mount stamp set with images for every season!
- Stitched Season Framelits Dies, a coordinating stitched die that includes stitching on both the positive and negative images!
- Watercolour Pencils in 10 new colours! Note: These Watercolor Pencils may be available in a future publication.
- Please note: The bundle includes the stamp set and dies only. It does not include the Watercolor Pencils.
- Products are available only while stocks last.

I’ve been LOVING this stamp set, particularly the floral image and I have a number of different cards to share with you over the next couple of weeks. It’s such a great set! The first card I am sharing is one where I have actually copied a card I made a while ago. My mojo has been a little missing in action and I’ve found copying cards I’ve made at other times is a good way to kick start my creativity.

Here’s the card…

And can you see I’ve been using some of the new to the range colours. They are GORGEOUS!!

BONUS DAYS

BONUS DAYS HAS BEGUN!

Today’s the day you can start earning Bonus Days coupon codes to use in September! WOOHOO! There is no limit to how many coupons you can earn, so now’s the perfect time to get items on your wish list or purchase limited-time bundles during the Colour Your Season promotion. Here’s the deal: For every $90 AUD you spend on 1-31 August (before shipping and handling), you’ll get a $9 AUD Bonus Days coupon code that can be used on 1-30 September 2018 (which is when the new Holiday Catalogue will be released! YAY!).

August Hostess Code: D6PCMAVA

Use the code above if your order is less than $250 to receive a little gift from me. If your order is over $250, do not use this code as you will be entitled to Hostess Benefits on your own order.

OnStage – Coming Soon

If you’ve been thinking about joining Stampin’ Up – whether as a hobby demo or to earn an income – there are a couple of awesome reasons to join this month. Firstly, you can sign up to attend OnStage on August 14th. OnStage is a FANTASTIC event which is held twice a year in April and November. It offers demonstrators the opportunity to catch up plus it also gives us a sneak peek at the new catalogues. There’s also the perk of a few little freebies. This November OnStage will be held in Melbourne and Brisbane. It’s Stampin’ Up!’s 30th anniversary so it is most likely going to be a BIG celebration. I’m planning to attend and I’d love you to join me!

Holiday Catalogue – Coming Soon

Christmas is coming! If you are hoping to get a headstart on your Christmas cards this year, consider joining my team as demonstrators can preorder from the Holiday Catalogue NOW! You are going to LOVE all the goodies! I placed my order today and cannot wait to share with you. The Holiday Catalogue will launch on September 1, 2018. Any customer who has ordered within the last 6 months will be sent a free catalogue as another little “thank you” for supporting my small business.

Wow! Such a long post! Thank you for sticking with me to the end! If you have any questions or would like to join my team, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Listed below are the supplies used to create the above project. If the stamp set comes in different types (such as clear mount and wood mount) or as a bundle, I link to all.

Pre-Order Stamparatus

Stamparatus – 2nd Reserve Window

by Kylie December 6, 2017

written by Kylie

Hi, your next opportunity to reserve the brand new Stamparatus is here! Things have changed a little since my first announcement about the Stamparatus.

The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes!! Yes, that is right! 15 minutes! Based on the speed of the sellout as well as feedback from Demonstrators and Customers alike, Stampin’ Up! has made some very important adjustments to the reservation process.

The second reservation window will remain open from 6–31 December; however, during this reservation period, Stampin’ up! will take as many orders as they receive (yay!) and not close the window until 31 December. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!

Please note the following changes:

Beginning 19 March, Stampin’ Up! will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in the warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the 6–31 December window will ship on 19 March (as was previously announced).
In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
Because Stampin’ Up! is not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, a third reservation window will no longer be offered.
This is the last chance for you and your customers to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018–2019 annual catalogue.

Please note what has not changed:

If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
The reservation window will open at 8:00 AM (AEDT) on 6 December.

RESERVE yours now at my online store.

What is the Stamparatus? A fabulous must have stamp positioning tool. Take a look at the video below to see it in action.

The Stamparatus will change the way you stamp, and before long, you’ll wonder how you crafted without it! Why do YOU need one? You’ll fall in love with stamping all over again when you learn everything you can do with it!

written by Kylie

Christmas In July

If you have ever wanted to be a part of the Stampin’ Up! family the Christmas In July promotion offers the perfect time to join – for a couple of fabulous reasons! Firstly, Stampin’ Up! is offering a fantastic “Essentials Gift Pack” when you sign up. It features a brand new Christmas stamp set which hasn’t been released to the public yet! Only current demonstrators have access to this stamp set now!

And speaking of items which haven’t been released – another awesome perk of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that we get to see any new Stampin’ Up! catalogues before they are released. We also get to ORDER from these catalogues too – usually a month earlier than everyone else! It’s a great bonus! Stampin’ Up! has just unveiled the new Holiday catalogue and by signing up today you could be looking through it within minutes! Let me tell you there is something for every crafter within its pages. My wish list grows every time I flip through it. Another benefit of joining now is that from August 1st, 2017, you too could take advantage of pre-ordering from this catalogue – and with a demonstrator discount of 20%! Gotta love a discount!

Here are the extra’s you will get if you join before July 31st, 2017!

So, if starting your own business appeals, or you would like to receive the products you love at a discount, now is the time to join Stampin’ Up! I’d love to have you join my team. Simply click on the link below:

Annual Catalogue Pre-Order

Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue – Pre-order Reveal

by Kylie May 14, 2017

written by Kylie

With the launch of the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalogue only a few short weeks away, there is a lot of excitement about the new things which are coming. One of the benefits of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is that we not only get to see inside the new catalogue before it is officially released, we are also able to pre-order a selection of these new items. I had to take advantage and placed my pre-order last week. Now that it has arrived I am thrilled to share some of these fabulous items with you. I’ve put together a little video so you can actually have a closer look at the items I received.

Here’s the video…

Did you have a favourite from the pre-order? I’ve already started to create with the Bright Wishes stamp set. The well is gorgeous! I’m also planning to work with the Eastern Medallions Thinlits dies to show you just some of the many designs you can come up with.
It’s going to be such a great must-have set, especially when you combine it with the Layering Circle Framelits dies. I foresee a lot of creating coming for me…and I cannot wait!

Even though I cannot show you the inside of the catalogue, I can show you the front cover. Isn’t it pretty? You’ll love what is inside – something for everything. Don’t forget it goes live on June 1, 2017.

Whilst we are all excited about the new releases, don’t forget time is ticking on the current catalogue as it is retiring on 31st May, 2017. If you are wishing to grab a few things before the catalogue finishes, now is the time. Don’t forget some items have been discounted so you just might find yourself with a bargain!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!
