That exciting time is coming when the 2020 Annual Stampin’ Up! Catalogue will be out. It will be live on June 3rd.
BUT who wants to wait that long to see it. The Catalogues are being mailed out shortly.
Are you in Australia and would like your very own catalogue to flick through and add sticky notes too and drool over?? 🙂
Of course you do.
Request your copy now by filling out the simple order form -> HERE.
It will be on it’s way very soon.

This was the first card I made with the new Ornate Garden Suite of products. The dies are just so detailed – and gorgeous. Have I said that before today?? 😉
The floral edge is so pretty. The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set is heat embossed in Silver Embossing Powder. This sentiment piece is diecut with one of the Ornate Layers Dies.
See those little stems sticking out from under the edge of the sentiment piece? These are extra little diecut pieces cut from the floral border die that I have used on this card. Don’t throw them out. They are such great additions to your card.
I finished the card off with a little White ribbon bow.
This is the Ornate Thanks Bundle below. You can get either the stamp set or the die set on their own too.
There are lots of lovely delicate Diecuts in the Ornate Borders Dies. I think you these are a great addition to your collection. You will certainly use them a lot!
Have a happy, sunshiny day wherever you are.

You might have seen the little ladybugs around?? I thought I will share some of the cards I have been making recently with the Little Ladybug set.
A very simple card but I used the largest rectangle of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and stamped the lady bug which was then coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.
The sentiment is from the So Sentimental Stamp set.
The red card mat is embossed with the Layered Leaves 3D embossing Folder with some Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon tied around before adhering to the White card mat. I added a Red Rhinestone to it.
The Little Ladybug set is available as a gift for orders over $500 whether it is your own or together with your workshop. It’s a cute set. This is only available for 2 more weeks though and then those Ladybugs are flying away.
I will be back with more cute ladybugs soon.

Time for another Blog Hop with the Stamping Around The World Tutorial Group. We put together Tutorial Bundles to send out to those who order each month with any of us and then bring you more inspiration with the Monthly Blog Hops.
This month for my tutorial I used the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set so I am using that in my project for you today for the Blog Hop.
This is a sweet set available as one of your free choices for Sale-A-Bration. I chose to keep the cards simple for you with a little stamping and masking.
For the card above I first masked off a strip down near the bottom of the card to allow for space the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday To You Stamp set. Of course that step is optional though.
Then I stamped the Flirty Flamingo flowers over the card. I stamped some under the strip just to have some over the edge of the masked area.
Then finished with stamping flowers in Gorgeous Grape and the leaves in Granny Apple Green and Pear Pizzazz.
Before adhering this piece to the Flirty Flamingo card mat and the Thick Whisper White card base I ran it through with the Subtles Embossing Folder to give it some texture.
For the second Card I masked off the area this time in the right hand bottom corner after stamping the Thank You from the Thoughtful Blooms Stamp set.
Using the same colours I stamped the flowers and leaves.
The white card wasn’t embossed on this one but you could do that. It was adhered to Gorgeous Grape card mat and then to a Whisper White card base.
Another flower in Flirty Flamingo was stamped on scrap white card and punched out with the Small Bloom Punch also available for Sale-A-Bration.
They are simple cards but I hope they inspire you in some way.
Now head off on the rest of the Blog Hop by following along by clicking on the blue frog below.
Have a great day,
Jenny
Today is the 2nd release for Sale-A-Bration. As if you didn’t have enough choices right!
You can see all the items in the catalogue -> HERE.
Of course there are some great choices. I have to say though my favourite is the Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper.
We have had similar paper in past years. These are just (if not more) as gorgeous.
There are 12 12″x 12″ white sheets with embossed designs in Rose Gold and Silver. There are 4 designs and 3 of each sheet.
You can leave them plain or colour them with a sponge/dauber or with the Stampin’ Blends.
This is one of the cards I created with the paper coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. I have used the Balmy Blue and coloured the background then used the Daffodil Delight for the flower centres.
The sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set. Such lovely words. I had the vellum diecut from the Flourishes Dies left over from another project and it worked well with this.
It’s hard to tell in the photo but I have used the ornate die strip from the Nature’s Thoughts Dies. You can see it better in the photo below.
These projects are created by Stampin’ Up! artists but it shows how pretty the paper is sponged.
So how do you get yourself some of this Flowering Foils paper??
It’s available free as part of Sale-A-Bration with orders over $90 AUD until the end of March.
In Australia? Head to my store now -> HERE and shop for your stamps, ink paper. When your order totals over $90 you can select this as your free item.
There are other choices too and other options for over $180 too. Don’t miss them.
Happy Shopping – and creating. 🙂
Have a great day,
Jenny

Sunday Suites are back for 2020. This week since I have been sharing projects with the Best Dressed Suite let’s have a closer look at the whole suite.
I think the Best Dressed Suite is a really fun one and can be quite classy too.
This is what is included in the entire Best Dressed Suite Bundle.
The Best Dressed Suite Bundle includes:
* Dressed to Impress Photopolymer Stamp Set (10% off)
* All Dressed Up Dies (10% off)
* Best Dressed 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper
* Mint Macaron 1/8″ (3.2 cm) Sheer Linen Ribbon
* Best Dressed 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Note Cards & Envelopes
* Best Dressed Tassels
Colours used in the suite are: Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight, Lovely Lipstick, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy, Mint Macaron.
Let’s have a closer look at the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. It is gorgeous. One side has stylish images, the other side has floral prints either large or small.
One thing I learned when preparing my projects for Onstage was that the larger floral prints have been designed with white spaces around the flowers so you can easily fussy cut them to add directly to your projects. I will share more about that on another post.
The Best Dressed Notecards and envelopes make really quick note cards to give to others. They have a partly printed “swoosh” on the front of the card and the envelopes are printed on as well. There are 24 in total with the cards and envelopes and they come in Daffodil Delight, Purple Posy and Petal Pink. They are really sweet. They are little cards measuring 3″x3″ or 7.6cm x 7.6cm.
What about some samples with these mini notecards. These are straight from the catalogue. The notecards fit nicely inside the bag too so that gives you an idea of the size of the bag.
The All Dressed Dies are really fun. They make the sweetest little bags. You can change them up anyway you like. See the samples below. I have created a few fun bags already that I will share with you soon.
Don’t forget the Best Dressed Tassels as well. There are 18 in total. 6 each in Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock and Whisper White. With the White ones too you can colour them with the Stampin’ Blends or sit them in a little dish with reinker and water.
In the dies set is the long stitched die. It’s great for the handles on your bags or I have used it as an edging but what about this fun idea. Add the strips to the front of a card to create added texture. This card sample is from Stampin’ Up!
So what do you think of the Best Dressed Suite?? Fun hey??
If you want to see more about them check the Youtube video out -> HERE.
