June Special - Make Your Mark

Stampin’ Up!’s® odourless, dual-tipped Stampin’ Write® markers help you make your mark—and make it perfectly!  Designed specifically for crafting, you can colour, stamp, spritz, and journal your projects with one trouble-free product.

Stampin’ Write markers:

• Use archival safe water-based dye ink.

• Have both a fine-point tip for writing and flexible brush for inking.

• Come in four colour-family packs in Stampin’ Up!’s exclusive colours for flawless coordination.

• Are ideal for omitting portions of a stamped image or for using multiple colours on a single image.

If you purchase a set of Stampin' Write markers ($57.95) you can save 30% off one of 4 selected stamp sets.  The sets and their discounted prices are:

108828 Greetings Galore $40.57 (page 42)
108781 Eat Cake $34.97 (page 41)
108727 All the Best $27.97  (page 56)
108835 Heartfelt Thanks $40.57  (page 66)

The card pictured above was made using markers and the Heartfelt Thanks stamp set.  I simply coloured in the stamp, spritzed with water then stamped.  To make the paler flowers I stamped twice before reinking.  Spritzing with water gives a more watercolour effect. 

Stamp a Stacks are back!

It's time to stock up on your card stash.  If you're always buying cards at the last minute then why not come along to my Stamp a Stacks.  You'll get to make 10 cards (five each of the two designs pictured above) for $15.  If you'd like to stamp matching glossy envelopes add another $3.  The greeting on the Bodacious Bouquet card can be varied.  All materials are provided.  Due to popular demand I am offering a second date.  Bookings essential.

Thanks to Marelle Taylor, a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator for the inspiration for the Bodacious Bouquet card design.

Christmas Stamp a Stack

Yes it's only June but I've had lots of requests for me to start running my Christmas card Stamp a Stacks!  So every month for the next 6 months I'll be running a Christmas card Stamp a Stack.  If you attend every month you'll have 60 handmade cards (12 designs) by the middle of November.  Giving you plenty of time to write in them and post them!

Here are this month's two designs.  Bookings are essential.

Details: 10 cards - two designs
Date:  Wednesday 27th June
Time:  7:30pm
Cost:  $15 or $18 with envelopes

The Peaceful Wishes card was inspired by Katiebear on Splitcoaststampers.
 

Want to save on postage?

If you live local to me and can collect your order read on for a way to reduce postage.

Do you sometimes just need to order a pack of cardstock or a snail refill but can't justify the $5.95 postage? 

Then place an order by the 8th of June and share the postage costs with other customers.

Tips & Techniques

Many of Stampin' Up! stamps fit into the SU! punches.  Make yourself a punch template by punching out on a piece of vellum or cardstock the punches you own and use this on the images in the Idea Book & Catalogue to see if they fit. 

Pay by credit card.

Payment is now even easier.  As well as accepting cash, cheque and direct deposit I also accept credit cards. 

What kind of demonstrator would you be?

Stampin' Up! needs all kinds of demonstrators.  Purchasing just for yourself, selling to close friends or looking to run this at a business level?  You can choose how to work as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator to best suit your needs.  What ever your level, support from myself and Stampin' Up! will be comprehensive.
