Welcome to July 2021! (Designer Series Paper Sale / Creative Prompt / New Host Code)

by Kylie July 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Happy July 2021! Can you believe we are in the second half of 2021? What a roller coaster this first six months has been! We are in a ‘short circuit breaker lockdown’ until at least Saturday over where I am in WA. I know a few other states are in lockdown too. I hope you are all keeping as safe and healthy as you possibly can during these stressful times.

On the Stampin’ Up!® front, July is going to be another exciting month. The MOST exciting thing for me as a Demonstrator is that I have just placed a small pre-order from the upcoming Mini Catalogue. I’ll do a Facebook Live when it arrives. If you are a current customer of mine who has ordered within the past six months – thank you! I appreciate you so very much! I’ve arranged for the new catalogue to be sent directly from Stampin’ Up!® to you as I didn’t want you to have to wait to get it. I think you are going to love it! (And if you cannot wait to get your hands on products from this new catalogue, you are welcome to Join now and add items to your Starter Kit. So fun!)

Of course, that isn’t all! We have a Designer Series Paper Sale which is on now until 2 August 2021! All the details are below. We have a new Host Code for July and I’ve got a Creative Prompt for you to kick off your creative mojo. I hope you will play along. Let’s get into it…

Designer Series Paper Sale – 01 July 2021 to 02 August 2021

We all love gorgeous Designer Series Paper, and during this great sale, you can enjoy a 15% discount on select papers from the 2021–2022 Annual Catalogue! Now is a great time to stock up and save on some of the most popular paper designs!

Hostess Code – July 2021

The new Hostess Code for July is now live. When ordering please use the code 2RNQURPE if your order is less than $250 to receive a little thank you gift from me. If your order is over $250, please do not use this code as you will be entitled to your own Hostess Benefits (plus you’ll still receive a little thank you gift from me).

Stampers Workshop Creative Prompts

With the StampingPals challenge blog taking a break, I decided to continue the fun with my own creative prompt each month. I’ve created a thread on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page (pinned to the top of the page) and I’d like to invite anyone who wants to share their take on the challenge to do so in the comments section of that post. You don’t need your own blog, just upload a photograph of your card directly into the comments. Please upload photographs only. Do not link to other blogs or websites. Regrettably, these will be removed. My hope is that these prompts will inspire and challenge us all to create. And by sharing in the comments section we can comment, support and encourage each other. I do hope you’ll join me. Here’s the first creative prompt…

Challenge Forever Blossoms Peaceful Moments StampingPals Sympathy

StampingPals Challenge #16 | Sympathy Cards

by Kylie June 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Welcome to the StampingPals Challenge for June 2021. This month we have a theme challenge. We have been challenged to create a Sympathy card. It’s also a pretty sad time as this will be our last StampingPals challenge for now. It’s time to have a break! Okay, let’s get into it…

Here’s the Challenge…

Sympathy cards would have to be my least favourite type of card to make and so I rarely make them. They are, however, sadly needed from time to time. I think it is so much easier to make a card before you need them. I have some friends who look at having Sympathy cards in their stash as a sort of insurance policy – they won’t need them if they already have one. I like this idea!

Here’s the card…

I chose to use a flower stamp from the Forever Blossoms stamp set and a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set to create my card. I chose a more subdued colour, in the form of Soft Succulent, for the overall appearance. I didn’t want the card to be all flat though so used Polished Pink and Pale Papaya to colour in the flowers. To me, these pops of colour symbolise life and hope.

We do hope you will play along with our final challenge. All the details, and the Link up, is on the StampingPals blog. We also want to thank each and everyone of you who have supported us since we began our challenges. Thank you!

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

Challenge Happiest of Birthdays StampingPals Technique

StampingPals Challenge #15 | Colour Challenge

by Kylie May 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Welcome to the StampingPals Challenge for May 2021. This month we have a colour challenge and you can see it below. We were challenged to create a card using Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo. You could also choose to add Basic Black, Basic White and/or Very Vanilla.

Here’s the Challenge…

Colour challenges can be just that – challenging! At first, I had no idea where to start and so I pulled out all the ink and swatched the colours to see how they worked together. They looked so pretty and before I knew it I had created a really pretty background. I really wanted that background to be the focus of my card and the Bokeh Technique popped into my head. Have you heard of this technique? It’s actually really simple and looks super pretty. Bokeh is “the blurred quality or effect seen in the out-of-focus portion of a photograph taken with a narrow depth of field” (Mirriam-Webster Dictionary). That’s the type of effect I wanted to create!

To create the card, I created a sponged a background of Melon Mambo, Highland Heather, and Pumpkin Pie using the Blending Brushes. Next up, I created my own template using the Layering Circles dies. Once this was created, I sponged White ink over my card base. Immediately, the Bokeh look began to appear. So cool! The card was finished with a sentiment stamped and embossed on vellum. The sentiment is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I die cut the sentiment out using the Scalloped Contours dies (which will be available from 4 May 2021).

Add some Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the back of the vellum. I try to stick to the areas where I have the embossing so that it doesn’t show through the other side. Add some White Twine (from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack), a few gems from the Elegant Faceted Gems and you are done!

If you want to see this process in detail, I do have a technique video you can watch.

Here’s the technique video…

This was such a fun challenge and the Bokeh technique is so fun too. I hope you’ll play along with us. All the details, and the Link up, is on the StampingPals blog.

Welcome to April 2021! (New Host Code)

by Kylie April 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Happy April 2021! There’s so much happening behind the scenes with Stampin’ Up!® this month. We started the Pre-Order period for the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue (and I think you are going to love the new things coming). I placed my order late last night (one of the perks of living in Western Australia) so I am hoping my goodies will arrive by the end of next week! Keep your fingers crossed! I cannot start sharing any sneak peeks or pictures until later in the month but if you cannot wait, then consider signing up yourself (you are able to add items from the Pre-Order into your Starter Kit).

Speaking of the new catalogue, if you have placed an order with me any time over the past six months until 30 March, I have arranged for a complimentary catalogue to be sent directly to you. If you placed an order in the last couple of days, I will be sending you a complimentary catalogue as soon as I get my order. Keep an eye on your mailbox!

Another fun thing happening this month is the Demonstrator only OnStage event which is all about the launch of the new catalogue. It’s being spread over a couple of different dates and I’m attending mine on April 17. I cannot wait!! Once again, I cannot share anything yet but as soon as I can…I sure will!

Of course, we also have the latest challenge from the StampingPals and there’s a new Host Code for April! Let’s get into it…

Hostess Code – April 2021

The new Hostess Code for April is now live. When ordering please use the code DUDVGUTN if your order is less than $250 to receive a little thank you gift from me. If your order is over $250, please do not use this code as you will be entitled to your own Hostess Benefits (plus you’ll still receive a little thank you gift from me).

Challenge Fun Folds Itty Bitty Greetings StampingPals Technique

StampingPals Challenge #14 | Sketch Challenge

by Kylie April 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Welcome to the StampingPals Challenge for April 2021. This month we have a sketch challenge and you can see it below.

Here’s the Challenge…

I love a sketch challenge. Sometimes I find them to be so easy but other times I struggle. I don’t know why! This one, however, was SO fun! I chose to use products from the Fine Art Floral Suite Collection. Whilst it can be fun to mix and match products, it is also fun to be able to pick up one suite and know everything just works!

I had such fun with this sketch and using the Fine Art Floral Suite. I think it might be fun to replicate this design – which is quite simple – with some of the other colours featured in this collection.

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

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

Challenge Fun Folds Itty Bitty Greetings StampingPals Technique

StampingPals Challenge #13 | Fabulous Folds

by Kylie March 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Hi everyone! Welcome to the StampingPals Challenge for March 2021. This month we have a theme challenge. We were challenged to make a card with a Fabulous Fold.

Here’s the Challenge…

I don’t tend to make a lot of cards with fun folds…and I don’t know why. They look so good and many of them are also very simple. For this particular challenge, I decided to go with a Gatefold card. It’s simple but effective.

To create this card, all you need to do is score the card so that the sides meet in the middle. Simply cut an A4 sheet in half at 14.85cm. Next score this sheet at 5.25cm from each end.

I added a panel of Basic White cardstock, die-cut from the Stitched So Sweetly dies, to the front of the card but make sure you only adhere this to one side of the card. Add some butterflies which are die cut from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper (which will be available from 2 March 2021). They are so pretty! Once again, make sure you only adhere the butterflies to one side of the card or the die-cut panel. We don’t want to accidentally adhere anything to the other side of the Gatefold card as it won’t be able to be opened. Add the sentiment (from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set) and you are done! You now have a quick, easy and really pretty card!

I hope you will play along with us this month. All the details are on the StampingPals blog.

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

Hey Birthday Chick Hey Chick Hostess StampingPals

Welcome to February 2021! (New Hostess Code)

by Kylie February 1, 2021

written by Kylie

Happy February 2021! Well, this post comes as the area I now call home settles into a 5 day mandatory lockdown period. After nearly 10 months without community transmission of Covid in Western Australia, we had one case confirmed yesterday. Here’s hoping this lockdown gets things in check very soon. We still have plenty to do around the house but I guess I might just have to spend a lot of time setting up my new craft room over the coming days. For those of you who are interested, I have shared a few pictures of my new space as it comes together on my Stampers Workshop Facebook page.

Sneak Peek – Hey Chick Bundle – COMING TOMORROW!

I’m so excited to tell you about a couple of new products which are coming TOMORROW! They are the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick bundles (also available as separate stamps and dies). You can already get the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set and soon you will also be able to get the coordinating die set.

If you have been using Stampin’ Up!® products for a while you might remember the Hey Chick Stamp Set – it was a Sale-A-Bration freebie back in 2017. Stampin’ Up!® was blown away by how much everyone loved the Hey Chick Stamp Set they decided to bring it back—along with coordinating dies and a completely new bundle created in the same style. These two bundles are only available for a limited time. Check back tomorrow for all the details.

Hostess Code – February 2021

The new Hostess Code for February is live. When ordering please use the code R7KSPU4B if your order is less than $250 to receive a little thank you gift from me. If your order is over $250, please do not use this code as you will be entitled to your own Hostess Benefits (plus you’ll still receive a little thank you gift from me).
