July Updates

It seems like yesterday was June and now we are marching through July! In my defence we've had school holidays here and my children have returned to the school routine just in the past week. I was in Sydney with my daughter, cheering her on at the National U15 and Cadet Fencing Competition, and helping as a chaperone for the tour group. It was a lot of fun, but quite exhausting!

Well done, Thing 3! She came home with 5 bronze medals!

Back to the stamping. Stampin' Up! has a brilliant opportunity for people wanting to join up as demonstrators right now:

If you'd like to get a sneak peek of new catalogues, early pre order of new stuff, and a sweet discount ... what are you waiting for?

And did you hear that Bonus Days are back?

When you make a purchase you'll get an email from SU! with a code to use in August. Make sure you keep it so you can redeem your coupon!

And remember my Stamp Night is on the last Saturday of every month, so let me know if you'd like to join me in a crafty catch up.

Launch Projects Part 3

Here are two of Bec's designs. They both feature floral images from the Good Morning Magnolia suite, but look so different.

Look at all the details! Heat embossing, embossing folders, so much texture and gorgeous colours to make it all pop.

And she's done it again - the same stamp set and heat embossing, but what a difference! I have never tried this beautiful colouring technique before, and I'm itching to give it a go. To colour the flowers, Bec used white ink and an aqua painter, then used a sponge dauber with Terracotta ink. So pretty!

The Launch Projects continue! Here are the other cards designed by Steph.

I love the beautiful Subtle Dynamic Texture embossing folder. I haven't seen it in real life before, but now I have, it's going strait onto my next order!
