This might have slipped past your radar. But, Did you know Stampin’ Up! are carrying some Close To My Heart Products at the moment? Close To My Heart recently closed and Stampin’ Up! carried over some of the products. This is only in the South Pacific, US Market.
Stampin’ Up! are clearing them out so they are going at Thirty Percent off. While Supplies Last.
Maybe you missed the Products because you thought they might just be for Memory Keeping. Don’t think of them just for that though. They are great for making our cards.
I have picked out some of my favourites.
The Secret Garden is just gorgeous. Whether it’s the Stamps and Dies, the Paper and Sticker sheet, Or the Cardmaking Kit. The kit makes 16 cards.
I like the bright colours in the Enjoy the Ride Paper and Sticker Sheet. Do I get it???
I have recently got the Floral Sprigs Stencils. Missed out on the discount with that one…
There is also some cardstock and other great crafting items.
Lots to love.
You can check more of them out in my store -> HERE.
If you need some of these fun new supplies you can head Online at the link above. OR Contact me directly. I would love to help you out.
A quick one sprung on us – From Monday 7th October – 9th October there is 15% off all Annual Catalogue Stamp Sets.
These don’t include Bundles BUT I will give you a little tip. If there is a bundle you would like buy the stamp set separately at 15% off then buy the Dies separately. You will save more than buying the Bundle and getting 10% off for them.
Check just some of the stamps reduced.
You can order See them all and order Online in my store -> HERE
Kits are so easy to create with, And Stampin’ Up! have 30% off in October.
Most kits make 8-9 cards with 2 or 3 variations. Some are Tag Kits and there are Decor kits. They have instructions to follow along. And you can change them up and make them your own.
Below shows just some of the other kits available.
My favourite is the Rock Legend Kit. Great for the boys.
I played along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge #174 for this week.
The colours were Pool Party, Bubble Bath, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. Very pretty colours together.
This is the card.
When I do a colour challenge I pull out the ink pads and see what patterned papers I have in those colours. Then I go through my stamps that may work with the colours. I narrowed it down to the Everyday Details stamps. I haven’t used that set a lot either.
The paper I used is from the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper. The Pool Party paper is from the Delightful Floral Designer Series Pack.
The teacup and flowers were coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I’m still working on my colouring …
You can play along too -> HERE. There is still time.
Today’s card is a cool Fun Fold. It is a Front Flap Card. It has an added flap that you could add a surprise inside.
This card was shared to me by a Demonstrator friend Linny. I loved the card and wanted to share it with you.
Here is the card.
Lift up the Flap.
Open the card.
Under the flap would be a great to add a Numbered birthday perhaps or even add a pocked for a Gift Card.
I have a video for you to follow along.
I used the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Paper. Also the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Season Stamp Set. It makes a special Christmas card to send. This could be used for so many different occasions though.
I share another one version at the end of the video so be sure to check out that one.
Follow along and I hope you get to make one.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny

Did you know there is a new White Card available?? It has just been released. So let’s check it out and what difference it is to the other White card.
Until recently there has been the Basic White card and Basic White Thick Card.
The Basic White Card is good for your general stamping and layers on your cards and projects. This is available in 12″x12″ and A4.
The Basic White Thick Card is a little heavier weight. You can stamp on this card and it is good when colouring with the Stampin’ Blends. Being thicker though it is good for Card Bases. This is available in A4.
Now there is the White Willow Card. This is similar weight to the Basic White and is good for stamping and layers on card. It does look a little crisper white to the Basic White. This is available in 12″x12″.
Well this caught me by surprise. But I have to say it is a pleasant surprise. Today the Clearance Rack has been updated AND included in that is the Trusty Toolbox Paper greatly reduced.
I have had so many people ask me since that paper left if they can still get some. SO today is your lucky day. But I wouldn’t wait around long. It is all While Supplies Last.
This is the Trusty Toolbox Paper.
This is a Split Front Card I made some time ago with this Paper. (You can see the Youtube video -> HERE if you want to make one).
Here are just some of the other products listed on the Clearance Rack. Some up to 60% off.
Back with Sunday Suites. With a new catalogue there are some gorgeous new suites. Today let’s check more with the Nests of Winter Suite.
The suite has adorable birds in both the stamp set and the paper. There is also the natural textures and tones in the images. You can create projects for any occasion with this suite of products including masculine projects.
The Nests of Winter Suites Collection include:
Winterly Tree Tops Bundle (stamps and dies)

Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (200 adhesives gems – 4mm and 5mm in Copper Clay, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and Garden Green)
Let’s look a little closer at them.
We have the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle.
What I love about this bundle…
The sentiments are great for sending some love and thoughts to a loved one.
The bird dies can cut some of the images in the paper saving you having to fussy cut them.
The leafy frame dies is so versatile. You don’t have to just use them with this set. And you can layer 2 diecut pieces together to add extra dimension to your projects.
What about the Nests of Winter Paper?
There are 12 – 12″x12″ papers. One side of the paper has hand drawn bird images of different sizes and shapes. Some you can cut out individually. And the other side has more natural, textured look which is great to add a subtle background.
The colours are Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana, Copper Clay, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Shaded Spruce
But what about some projects.
Cards or Gift Bags…
You can see how the diecut leaves can layer together for extra texture. The top layer is diecut with the Graceful Greenery Vellum.
The addition with the Birch Embossing Folder adds some great texture.
Sending love or Thinking of You. The sentiments are very versatile.
