This Saturday is World Card Making Day. Yes, it’s a day we get to celebrate all the fun we have.
Are you going to create on Saturday? Why not join a Virtual Crafting Session with Stampin’ Up!.
It will be this Saturday 1st October 2-5pm. Create 3 lovely projects. And it’s FREE!
You can use what you have or order the sets they use. Now it may be a little late to order them for this event though.
These are the sets you will be using. Do you have something similar?
You can register but you don’t have to. Head to the Stampin’ Up! page -> HERE for more details. You can register there or just head to this page on Saturday and the link will be there for you.
Now if you are like me and can’t join in at the time then you can catch the replay later.
There are some special new dies this month. I especially like the Stampin’ Up!Tree Trimmings Dies. I loved the Trimming the Tree stamp set when I first saw it in the Annual Catalogue and having the dies now (only for this month) is a real bonus.
See how you have the sweet ornaments. Also the bow diecut. There is a different version of the bow too and some pot dies.
You can easily lift the detail branches in this particular tree die with the spatula end of the Take Your Pick Tool.
Now I say these dies are only available for this month as they are part of the Perfect Partners Promotion for September. These dies and 5 others are available just for this month.
So if you are not a huge fan of cutting with scissors you may want to get these die sets for your stamps. And you get those extra details too.
Get the Trimming the Tree Bundle and save 10%. It is $82.75 AUD.
You can buy them separately too.
Head over to my store -> HERE and pop your order in this week for them. Please use the Host Code: 6PPKEPZJ OR contact me and I can help you order them.
These are the other dies sets available. Be sure to check them all out.
This week we have started our Christmas cards in classes. I wanted to share this one with you.
With the Lights Aglow Specialty paper and Trimming the Tree stamp set it makes for a gorgeous Christmas Card. It has just that bit of Gold to make it elegant don’t you think?
The diecut for the sentiment actually comes from the Tree Trimmings Dies. These are available for only this month as a bonus with the Perfect Partners Promotion. They have some great sentiment dies and tree dies and little ornaments. I will share more with the stamps and dies shortly.
The Trimming the Tree stamp set is one from the Annual Catalogue. It’s a great one I think.
If you want to grab the Trimming the Tree set and also grab the Tree Trimming Dies now while you can you can jump on over to my store just above. (Grab them as a bundle to save 10%).

The Rings of Love Paper available for Sale-A-Bration is quite a surprise really. I have been playing a lot with it!
Sharing two cards with you today as we are running out of time!
Firstly with some scraps of paper I had left I put this card together. and just added a sentiment and embossed the Mint Macaron card mat with the Brick and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder.
The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set.
Now to my second card.
With my class this week with the Adventurous Journey Stamp Set I have been having lots of fun creating with it. I thought this print from the Rings of Love paper looked like a watery background. I really liked the effect of it. And no mess with creating a watercolour piece!
The sentiment is from the Painted Poppies Stamp set stamped on a diecut circle from the Beautiful Shapes Dies.
This week Sale-A-Bration all comes to an end and you won’t be able to get this paper again. Don’t miss it … 😦
I have shared a few cards with it recently so head back a few posts if you missed it.
To grab your bonus paper place an order over $90 AUD and you can pick that as your choice. Or there are lots of other great bonus products too.

Wednesday’s WOW! #140 – Ways to use the Embossing Paste.
Have you used the Embossing Paste? I have to admit I haven’t nearly enough. If you like adding that extra texture to your projects then this paste would be just the thing.
Let’s see how to use it.
The Embossing Paste comes in little tubs. 4oz or 1.18ml. You can get it in Matte finish or Shimmery White which has a little sparkle.
With a little spatula you can scrape on your paste. Use it directly on your projects to add texture or use it through a mask for an effective pattern. There are masks available but you could also use a diecut shape on Foil Sheet or acetate to apply the paste through it.
Leave it to dry for some time before completing the project or you can use the Heat Tool gently to speed up the process.
See the effect with the different masks available. Apply it all over or just in sections for your project. Be sure to wash off your masks straight away.
Try colouring the paste.
In a small container mix together drops of reinker to a little paste. The more reinker, the more intense the colour is. Then apply the paste as you would.
This project below uses a diecut shape using the Aspen Tree Dies. The shape was cut in Silver Foil as this is more rigid than card. Apply some Embossing Paste adding the coloured paste to the lower section and then add some plain paste to the top section. It adds some lovely texture.
It is hard to see in the photo clearly sorry. Project created by Stampin’ Up! artists.
You can find the Paste in my store.
For the Matte Embossing Paste ($14.00 AUD), See it -> HERE.
For the Shimmery Embossing Paste ($15.75 AUD), See it -> HERE.
Go and grab some and add texture to your next project.
Shop in store at the above links or contact me directly and I am happy to help you out.
I love making Easel Cards. I love this idea too. This is a Split Easel Card. It’s very easy.
I have used the Splendid Day Suite. It’s so pretty.
We made this card in a class recently. I don’t often share my class cards here, But I thought I would share this one with you.
This is the front view of the Split Easel.
The side view. You can see how it stands up.
Inside. You can see how the sides are split and adhered down. Decorate the card as you like.
When we made the card in class I made the section in the middle inside a little smaller. I thought it looked better than this original one and it gave more room to write.
I will share the HOW-TO soon so stay tuned for that.
Happy Stamping,
Jenny
