New Product - Watercolour Pencils

New Product - Watercolour Pencils

One of the items I am most excited about in the new Spring/Summer Catalogue are the new Watercolour Pencils available from Wednesday 4th January. I've not been too well for the last few days so a bit of gentle colouring has been perfect to keep my creativity going whilst trying to get better. 

Thanks Julie for the above post, this is what I SHOULD have been doing when also not well but carer duties and cooking a drop dead beautiful Tiramisu cake for our neighbours New Years Eve Party. Today planned to hit craft room when Hubby went to work for a few hours (on call) but noo he wanted me to go with him as he will be by himself soon when i am off babysitting again. But when I return I will be having a "Meet and Greet" open house for the Occasionsand Sale A Bration Catalogue at my home. Date to be announced shortly. So as they say "Watch this Space". Door prize and light refreshments will be provided.

A Happy and Safe New Year to all my crafting friends and family.

How does Lift Me Up from Stampin Up work with Jenny Hall

https://youtu.be/1hCCWB-fEKM
Jenny is a fellow demonstrator who I believe gives a very good insight into the best way to get the most from our dies and stamps. Jenny patiently explains what and why she is doing something and I learn so much from her videos that I thought to share them/one of with you. I wish I was talented enough and could afford the equipment to make my own videos but alas not to be as yet, but maybe down the track I will.

A video for you about the detailed thinlits coming in the Occasions Catalogue

A video for you about the detailed thinlits coming in the Occasions Catalogue, one that showcases different ways of using this set.

I personally haven't done any craft due to a very painful lower back and hips so spending time learning all about the new stamps and dies so that I can create a storm when improved.

My Christmas Wishes to you all.

To spare you from hearing me sing (I can't and I know it) so I found some ladies with beautiful voices to sing my Christmas wishes for me. Enjoy.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas an a Safe and Happy New Year.

Hi, continuing our sneak peaks of the New Occasions catalogue video's  showcasing products you can purchase as of the 4th January 2017 from my 24/7 Online store by just clicking the online shopping button.

Still babysitting in Mudgee NSW where it is raining cats and dogs which is causing two children to be very bored even though they have played at McDonald's this morning in the play area.
School hols are going to be long and drawn out if early boredom is anything to go by. Hah, that will the parent's problem as Nana duty officially ends on the 20th/12/16. Next Nana duty starts on the 1/1/17 for a week in Ipswich for a beautiful 3 yr old granddaughter.  Ahh the joys of being an available grandparent.

So i Love Stamp Set and Details Thinlits

Another one of the upcoming products in 2017, I personally love this one and will be featuring it a lot I think.

Another video, this one features a new ballon stamp set that has a coordinating die, something we all love right!. I don't mind fussy cutting but if I can use a die instead I am a happy crafter.

A video to watch on one of the new the upcoming products from the Occasions Catalogue out on the 4th January.

I am currently in Mudgee NSW visiting my family and my beautiful 3 Grandsons and doing my favourite duties (babysitting). We have planned a cooking and craft weekend whilst the parents are working.

When I return home soon I will come home to my stamps, dies, Designer series paper etc from the Occasions and Sale A Bration Catalogue. As a demonstrator, I am able to purchase early so I can make cards etc for you to see what our new products can do for you, share the latest card fold and ideas with you.

So once I am home that will be my task during the Xmas period before I go to Ispwich for another babysitting task.

Then I will return to settle down to regular classes which I will post in advance to allow you to pick a suitable time for you.

Just to say Hi

SALE SALE information

Guys this i a once posted is up for Grabs and first in best-dressed deal. So do NOT procrastinate as I have learnt from past experience how fast items sell out and how I miss out on the bargains. I will be up early tomorrow and looking forward  to buying at up to 60% off I can tell you Even if I keep them for gifts I'm a winner hey at that price. 

PS:  don't let Hubby know cause he says I buy way too much craft. Hmm never have enough is my thinking. Can't stand not having something on hand when I want to make that special card for someone special or to be able to use it in a class to teach really special cards and card techniques. 

So click onto my Online link to go and check out the bargains.

Available at 0001 1.12.16  on my 24/7 store.

Trust me I will be up looking at that time as even demonstrators cannot see what is on offer till you can.

Happy shopping.

Opps I forgot the End of Year Sale we always have starting Tomorrow.

Sale ends 30th November and video's to assist your card making

Hi folks,

Been quiet for a few days due to having a stall at the Renegade Mega Market at Marion school on the weekend and recovering since.

I hope you managed to take up some of the great bargains that Stampin' Up! have had on offer over the past week/weeks I know I did.  I purchased another magnet platform because the price was very very good and I can use it with my 2nd big shot so when I have classes people don't have to wait. (well not as long as before).

Reminder: 25% off sale ends tomorrow.

Next big event on our SU calendar starts 04.01.2017 with the Occasion and Sale A Bration Catalogues.

This is the best time to join my team as you receive more products for your start up fee and then on top of that you get FREE items from the Sale A Bration Catalogue as well. Your customers will get the same benefit of free items for every $90 they spend as well.  I am happy to discuss this with you anytime at your convenience.

How to adhere velum video (thanks to Connie Stewart)

https://youtu.be/_G8wcsMlDHo

Hi folks,
Today's video is a must watch for people like me who struggle with adhering velum and hence have a stockpile of the stuff.

Not after watching the above video.

sorry I haven't posted classes recently, my back is playing up someting chronic and even a 1 hr massage hasn't helped. Hot packs and lots of sitting on utubes is my life at present, although I have made the odd card and when I take some pictures I will post them. Xmas cards of course.

Cheers
Raye

Stamp-a-ma-jig video

https://youtu.be/cbDtn11nH9U?list=TLGGmp1QrZZZMpEwODExMjAxNg


Good morning all,

I am posting another video which I believe explains one of our tools soo well. Thank you Melissa for making and sharing such a good video on the Stamp-a-ma-jig. You may have one and not use it much but will after this video, or alternatively it may make you want one to help with your creations. We all need help at times to improve how we craft and I believe this is one of the ;best ways to ensure we make our cards llok more professional. I know I am a fan of this little tool. Price is for UK so will be different here in Aussie but you can link to my 24/7 online store via the shopping button to see our price here. Standard shipping is $5.95 but can increase depending on what total purchases come to, but costs are kept down by sharing the shipping costs across all the countires and stamping up community (including demonstrators). The most I have ever paid was $29 for a order that was over $1000,00 and included a Big Shot so we are lucky to be able to buy and not worry about postage.

Enjoy

However I would not be without the items listed for the big shot as they make it soo easy to cut our intricate dies and I don't spen forever pushing out little bits that used to take me forever. One easy way to build up our supply is to hostess a workshop for 5 or more people.

And I provide all the make and take items at the workshop in the comfort of your home. All you need to do is invite family and friends and provide light refreshments. It is a few hours of fun and learning. Contact me if interested via my email link. I will fully support you and would love your business.

G'day everyone,
Today I was taken out for breakfast to Harvey Range Tea Rooms and was lucky enough to taste the $50 cup of coffee that is the result of the Civet Cat eating the coffee beans and then their dropping are collected and processed to the most yummiest coffee. I didn't buy the coffee but happen to speak to a group of people doing a tourism video and a chief from USA was testing the coffee and he was kind enough to share. Smooth, strong and bitter just like I love my coffee to be.

Enough of me, I have just come across a video on making your own ribbon from card stock. How often to I want a particular colour of ribbon and don't have it in stock or that particular colour isn't available in my online store, hmm a bit. Now after this simple tip, I can make my own ribbon and so can you.

Have new cards to post but it is soo overcast and rain is POSSIBLE (whoops this is the Ville not sure if it will actually get here) so cannot take any photo's till the sun returns.

Class today

Hi all, today I had a lovely group of ladies make a (u guessed it ) Pop Up Christmas card. A few hiccups, partly due to my instructions being slightly wrong, teacher losing a important die  and then inattentive ladies who didn't LISTEN to the teacher and turn their cards 180 deg when told to. Having to much fun nattering they were, but it all worked out well with just a few minor adjustments. It was a long class and we only managed the one card as it is quite complex to make and especially for the first time. But everyone went home with their very impressive card and instruction (with correction added, turns out I don't know horizontal from vertical) after a lovely morning tea/lunch and many cups of tea and coffee. Next week we will do the 2nd card which was to be a Bon Bon Card.

Advanced classes do take time and these ladies like to cut their own cards from start to finish as like me this is the way they learn best. Classes do go quicker when I pre cut all the necessary card stock and DSP (designer series paper) but I don't mind either way. The aim of the class is to have fun and enjoy the pleasure of crafting with friends (new or old).

Well done girls and to the 2 ladies that couldn't make it, I will repeat the class for you when you are able to make it.
