You might have heard the Stampin’ Up! packaging for the stamps and dies are changing. I have just received my first order with the new packaging so I thought I would put together a review so you can see it.
The video is on my Youtube now or you can see it below.
I would love to hear your thoughts and especially how you will store your stamps and dies now.
On a side note: If you prefer the clear DVD cases for your stamps you are able to purchase additional cases to convert your stamps. Or you can purchase additional clear envelopes to store them that way (starting in November).
Adding this Thumb Image below so you can PIN it to come back to.
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″.

This week’s Wednesday’s WOW! #77 is a fun, versatile product that I have just noticed. I thought you might like to see just how versatile this product is.
We are looking at the Scalloped Note Cards and Envelopes.
With these Note Cards and Envelopes you receive 5 each of 4 colours: Balmy Blue, Old Olive, Powder Pink, Terracotta Tile.
They make very quick cards that have that nice decorative scalloped edge.
And don’t forget to stamp the envelopes.
Don’t just think of them as the cards and envelopes though.
These are created by Stampin’ Up! artists. Aren’t they sweet. Sorry I am not sure exactly how this treat box below is made but it is using the notecard scored and folded.
How clever is this treat holder? Just pop a little treat in the envelope and give it to someone special.
These are very inexpensive to have some quick cards and packaging on hand.
They are available in store now -> HERE. $14 for 20.
What do you think of them?? Pop them in your next order.

Wednesday’s WOW #76 we are looking at a cool new product today. The New Stamp Cleaning Pad. Perhaps you have seen it in the catalogue and was curious about it Or maybe you hadn’t even noticed. (see page 182). I know it took a few looks before I saw it.
What’s this Cleaning Pad about?
This cool new Stampin’ Up! Cleaning Padis small in size, about the size of an inkpad, and is great if you are packing for a stamp day or a stamp camp. It easily fits in your little tote. Or if you are at home and not wanting to get your larger Stampin’ Scrub out.
It already has a cleaner on it so there is no need for additional spray mists or water. When it dries out there is a Cleaning Pad Refill that you can buy very reasonably priced to re-moisten it.
Here is an information block with more information. It is ready for you to PINtoo for future reference.
Wednesday’s WOW! #53 – Let’s talk about those cool Rectangle Stitched Framelits. Have you seen them in the Catalogue? I LOVE them.
I have seen a few posts around with the Imperial measurements so I thought I would work out the Metric sizes for those of you who use metric measurements. This might help you when you are choosing which Framelits to use and how they might layer together.
Here you go. I hope it is a ready reference for you.
I have to say it’s a cool pattern with the measurements isn’t it?
I will talk more about ways to use them in later posts but for now I hope this is useful.
You NEED these Framelitsin your collection. I tell you they won’t leave your craft desk. There are so many uses for them.
For now, grab them in my store ->HERE. They are $61 AusPlease use the Host Code: Q6XB6QR6
Wednesday’s WOW!are back for 2019. Today we have episode #51. You might know by now that Cling Stamps have arrived to Stampin’ Up!. Cling Stamps are super sticky so they don’t fall off. YAY! Because they are super sticky though there are a few tips you might want to know about using them. I put together a video for you to let you know about them. Check it below.
I hope the video helps you with them. Just be sure to ‘gently’ peel them off the block, but isn’t it nice that you can have confidence that they will stay on.
You know you go through the catalogue so many times and still discover things in there. It is a wealth of inspiration and ideas. I discovered this recently and thought I would share it for our Wednesday’s WOW!today. Perhaps I am a little late to the party here and you already know about it but if you are like me then let me tell you…
On page 215 of the 2018 Catalogue is a Die cutting and embossing guide. Here it is here for reference. I hadn’t read it that closely previously.
The Framelits, Edgelits and Thinlitsare coloured coded in the catalogue (page 215-221) to show which sandwich to assemble on your Big Shot platform when cutting or embossing. Sometimes it can be confusing how to get the best result when you use your dies.
The grey shaded box is for the Standard dies to simply cut.
The Pear Pizzazz coloured box are for more detailed dies and it recommends to use the Precision Plate. (That is a personal preference I find). You may like to use an extra shim from paper or card in your own platform. Each Big Shot is calibrated differently so just trial that in your own. Note too: the Thin Die Adapter mentioned is the separate piece you get with the new Big Shot Platforms. Earlier styles use a “book” type platform with “pages” to open. In this case, you will use the “book” closed.
The Coastal Cabana coloured box is how to use the dies for embossing but not cutting. It is suggested to the use the Magnetic Platform to keep your dies in place when embossing. (How fun is it that you can emboss with some of your dies!!). 🙂
So in the catalogue showing all the dies the boxes are colour-coded to help you. (Ok, I thought at first it was all just pretty colours happening!!)
Here is an example shown on p217.
Now when you are using the dies you can refer back to the guide to see how to set up your platform. You could always print off the chart and have it near your Big Shot to remind you. When you use them often you will remember without referring back to it.
This week’s Weekly Deals bring you a variety of items: ink, ribbon, stamps AND have you got the Simply Scored?? You might want to grab the Diagonal Scoring Plate.
I am putting an order in on the weekend if you want to grab these or any other items. 🙂
