Flower Shop Bundle.....is retiring!

Don't you love this stamp set and matching punch? I only recently got this set and have been on a cardmaking frenzy ever since!

Did you know that it is retiring at the end of June - the BUNDLE that is! You can purchase the stamp set and the matching punch separately, but in the current catalogue you can get them both in a bundle for 15% off!! (check out page 95!).

Both the stamp set and punch are carrying over into the new catalogue, so you will still be able to get them, they just won't be available in a bundle.

Check out some of the cards I have been making with this set - I got some inspiration from Pinterest and adapted the design to suit my colours and accessories.

 

Island Indigo

 Early Espresso/Gold

Melon Mambo

Silver

Coastal Cabana

 

Let me know if you would like to order the bundle for yourself!! The gorgeous "Off the Grid" in the middle of the frame is retiring June 30 - don't let that one get away, it's so versatile!

Here is the link to my online store, or I am more than happy to place the order for you! Click here to email me :)

 

Until next time,

Eastern Elegance Brag Book with Box...

Each month I host a Stamp Club at my house, some of the ladies have been with me for over 5 years, others have come along in the years since, but ALL of them have become my good friends, and some of them have become part of my team - the Pink Ink Stampers!!

Each meeting we not only make some gorgeous things using product from the catalogues - sometimes new techniques, sometimes 3D, sometimes scrapbooking, sometimes cards - but always something new and interesting. I also set a challenge each month. It could be a card with a set sketch, or a WOW project or a 3D item of their choice, and the girls choose their own winner. I make a little something as a prize and it forces me to come up with something new each time - these girls are getting so advanced!!

Here is my challenge prize for this month - a little brag/smash book with a matching box. I found the template online for the book, but made the box myself - both items are quick and easy and look amazing!!

Here is the box, closed.

 

 

You can just see the little book peeking out...

 

 

Here is the book out, with the belly band off...

 



And the book opened, ready to be filled with photos or memorabilia or just to write in... (sorry it's so blurry!).

 

The dsp I used is retiring at the end of the month, and I really love it, shame to see it go, but I am looking forward to the new dsp arriving in July!!

 

If you would like to see how this little book is made, why not book a party or a class? This could be the item we make that you get to take home with you!

 

If you would like to order any of the supplies used to make these little cuties, pop over to my store and place your order, or contact me and I would be happy to place the order for you!

 

Until next time,

Kylie xxx

Stamp Club Projects

Each month since I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - that's nearly 5 years!! - I have held a Stamp Club meeting. If you are new to the Stamp Club idea, it's a regular group of stampers that commit to spending a certain amount each month, for a certain amount of time, and in return, we get together and make 3 or 4 projects. I supply all of the products needed, they just come along and have fun! We try out different techniques, learn new ways of using current products, try out current products, and have some adult time. Each time we go home with usable gifts/gift packaging/scrap pages/cards and/or techniques. I encourage my girls to join in on the card challenge I set each month, and we have our own group facebook page where we can chat, ask questions, share our creations and our lives.
This month we learnt a new way to use the Tag a Bag Gift Boxes that are on pages 158 and 159 of the current annual catalogue. I love these boxes, so very versatile and they are food safe! Here are our projects:

And here they are individually:

This one measures 3" x 2.5" x 2.5".

This one measures 4.5" x 2.5" x 2.25".

This one measures 3.5" x 2.5" x 2.25" - what is suprising, is that inside the acetate sleeve are two little boxes....

....each one measures 1.75" x 2.5" x 2.25"

And here is our full-size box decorated similar to the cut-down one above. The belly band is actually one of our Tag a Bag Gift Bags with the bottom cut off and slipped over the acetate sleeve, with a small strip of sticky strip down one side, it fits perfectly!

Here is the video that Stampin' Up! put on their Youtube channel recently, it has all of the measurements and instructions on how to make these little boxes for yourself, but if you would like to catch up, I am happy to show you how to make them too!

To get the supplies to make these for yourself, head to my store or contact me and I will place the order for you.

Until next time,
