Anniversary

I am sorry for the delay in my post - between work and making a start on my swap cards for Stampin' Up! Convention there hasn't been a lot of time left sorry :-(


My parents celebrated there 37th Wedding Anniversary on the 14th April and my mum always give Terry & I an wedding anniversary card each year - this year I decided I wanted to give my parents a surprise and send them a card - my mum called me on Sunday to say that they received my card and it was a nice surprise for them so I did get the reaction I wanted :-)


My card making has been so up & down over the last few years but now everything is on track I am enjoying my stamping again - I am look forward to making more cards and sending them to family & friends not always for a reason but just because I care and make the receiver smile.

This is the card I sent my parents

The new Autumn- Winter Catalogue is here - there is so much in the catalogue that I want to share with you - you can click on the mini catalogue on my side bar and you will be able to view the mini online

Sizzix Big Shot is now available through Stampin' Up! plus we have exclusive range of dies, embosslits and textured embossing Folders - these are only available through Stampin’ Up!

Host a workshop! At a workshop, I will show fun ways to use your Big Shot & create some fabulous creations.

But wait there is more

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamps

Stampin' Up! now offers repositionable, clear-mount rubber stamps--in addition to the wood-mount rubber stamps! These new clear-mount stamps are designed to maintain the unbeatable image quality you love about traditional Stampin' Up! stamps, while at the same time offering the flexibility, ease of use, and storability inherent in repositionable rubber stamps.

Clear-Mount Rubber Stamp Features

* Nine different sizes of clear blocks available individually or as a discounted bundle.
* Blocks have ergonomic grooves on all four sides for easy grip and traditional wood-mount feel.
* Stamps and blocks are durable and easy to clean with your Stampin' Scrub and Stampin' Mist.
* Optional image labels on stamp backs let you decide if you want to see the image through the block or not.
* Tight die-cutting for easy image positioning.
* Large clear blocks can be used to create collages or spell words with alphabet sets.
* Stamps store easily in standard, DVD-type cases with artwork on front and spine, making organization easy.


New Punch Design

Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches!

A few features of the new punch style:

* Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
* Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
* Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
* Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
* New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use
o Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Extra-Large Two-Step Bird punch in the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue
* Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners
* larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use
* Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color

Plus alot of new stamp designs, scrapping papers, new in colours this catalogue is just fantastic and if you don't have a copy & would like your very own copy of this gorgeous mini EMAIL ME tasitiger@hotmail.com and I can have one posted to you.

I will show you some of the cards I have made using some of the new products out of the mini.

Until Next time take care & Happy Stamping

My News

I am back again - I survived the dentist only just hahhaha.

Well I did say in my previous post that I had some news to tell you no I am not pregnant lol - well in March I decided to rejoin Stampin' Up! (SU) I know I did join SU last year but life did a backward turn and things weren't easy but that's another story that I would prefer not to go into - I can firmly say that everything is back on track for me & life could not be happier. I look forward to sharing alot more of my card making with you but also more about what Stampin' Up! has to offer. It is so good to be able to get back into my card making but I also look forward to doing SU workshops and showing people the SU products.

Take Care & Happy Stamping

Easter

OMG I am a bad blogger before I really started - I am so sorry that I have not updated earlier and I do have a few things to tell you so there is no excuses.

I hope you all had a nice Easter - for me it was nice and relaxing - spent the time stamping, sleeping & stamping some more - Saturday we went and saw my parents which was nice to catch up with them again. I surprised my mum as I gave them an Easter Card this year (sorry I did not take a picture of the card) normally I run out of time but not this year - I am trying to be more organised with my cards hopefully I can keep this up.

As we live on property we get so many birds around us and I have the joy of feeding them and if I get slack they reminder me by tapping on the door but the magpies are the ones they just walk through the door if it is open funny creatures they are - so on Easter Morning I had to give our birds a treat the Rainbow Lorikeets got Hot Cross Buns (a whole 6) and our Magpies got a few prawns (which I am annoyed I did not get a picture of).





Well I am off to the dentist tomorrow to get a tooth pulled which I am not looking forward to but I do have some more exciting news to tell you but I am going to make this a separate post tomorrow :-)

Until then take care

Michelle
