Happy June - hope your month is off to a great start.  We've got a couple of Stampin' Up! specials this month if you're in a crafting mood.  

First up - there's 15% off a wide range of our DSP (patterned paper) packs during June.  I took quite a few packs away on a recent craft retreat and enjoyed creating with the various coordinating designs.  Whether you love cute animals, florals, space, earthy textures or gingham - there's something to appeal.  

Here's the section with all the sale papers if you're looking for some new additions:   Patterned Paper Sale 

During June we've also got some additional value in our starter kit offer.  This is a great option if you've got a bit on your wish list.  During June you get to choose $283 of products (any current products) and pay only $169 (with free shipping.)  Whether you'd like to be part of our demonstrator family for a short time or a long time is completely up to you.  I'd love to welcome you to the team. 

Make your list and head here if you'd like to take advantage of this offer:   Join Sue's Team

I hope you had a lovely weekend.  We got a bit inspired by the gorgeous spring season to get out in the garden this weekend - it was in need of a bit of love.  Lots of weeding, some planting and some transplanting, plus we spread 2 cubic metres of mulch.  I think we all discovered a few new muscles! 

Have a terrific month.  I'll be back tomorrow with our Colour Creations card for this week. 

Keen to catch a class this month.  You'll find October dates and available places here: Sue's Card Classes Avondale Heights

During August (and while stocks last!!) we'll have this beautiful Blended Seasons bundle from our Colour Your Season special.  I've been really enjoying colouring those lovely leaves and flowers in the last week or so.  Such a great stamp set if you like colouring.  The bit I think is super unmissable though is that framelit set.  Those frames a such a great versatile shape - in 3 great sizes.  One fits beautifully on a card front plus two smaller ones for smaller elements.  And some flowers, leaves and a bow as well.  The framelit set is $57 and only available in August while stocks last so if you like this one as much as me - grab your set before it is gone. 

Here's all the Blended Season exclusive range if you're shopping or would like a closer look:  Colour Your Season products

I'll be back tomorrow to share some details on how I created the card above using the Blended Seasons bundle for our classes last month.  My talented class ladies tried some other colour combos so I've spent this afternoon CASEing some of their favourite colours.

Holiday Catalogue news.  Do you love creating your own Christmas cards and papercraft projects?  Our new Holiday Catalogue goes live on September 5th.  My boxes will be arriving this month and I'll be posting a free copy to my regular customers so watch the post then grab a cuppa and some post it notes for a good browse through all the lovely things. 

If you're a customer who hasn't ordered in a while - get in touch to let me know you'd love a copy so I know you're keen and can pop one in the post for you.  If you're new to Stampin' Up and are looking for a demonstrator I'd be happy to help.  Let me know your contact details for your free copy.  If you have a demonstrator already and are stopping by here for some inspiration - be sure to get in touch with your regular demo, they'd love to help you get your hands on a catalogue. 

Have a fabulous weekend with a nice dash of creativity.

Cheers, Sue

MADEX CREATIONS NEWSLETTER

The latest edition of my Madex Creations newsletter has just zoomed on its way to inboxes.  If you'd like to join the fun, there's a sign up box at the top right here.  Just fill in your email address and click GO.

SALEABRATION FREEBIES: HOW TO CLAIM YOURS

If you are ordering by phone or email, just let me know what you'd like to pick.  One free Saleabration product for every $90 of goodies you order. 

If you are placing an order online, here's how to select your free saleabration products.

Once you've put $90 of products into your shopping bag, you'll see this appear down the bottom of the screen.  "Congratulations: You qualify for one or more free saleabration products, Click Here."

When you click, you'll see a pop up menu appear and you can select your chosen freebies. 

My personal favourite is this gorgeous Irresistibly Yours DSP.  White with white embossed patterns - you just add your ink by sponging, spritzing or brayering. 

Another one I'm loving is the Lotus Blossom stamp.  A triple layer stamp - beautiful.

Or you can start your collection of Blendabilities alcohol markers, or add to them.  Choose a pack of Blendabilities as your Saleabration freebie.  They come in packs of 3 - you get a light, medium and dark of your chosen colour.

That's about it for news from Stampin' Up in Australia today.  I hope you are having a lovely Sunday. 

We've been focused on getting back into school and work routines, getting settled in to Year 7 homework and all that the last few weeks.   I hope to be back sharing some creations of my own with you very soon. 

Have a great February. 

Cheers, Sue

You can pick up your free copy (Avondale Heights), or I can post one for $10. 

Here's just a few things you'll find in this year's catalogue.

Project Life:  Lots of great Project Life products to make memory keeping so quick and easy.  A great solution if you've got tons of photos and no time to create.  

Use the Project Life system on its own, or combine it with traditional scrapbooking - customise it to what suits you. 

Blendabilities:  Our new alcohol markers - so great for colouring and blending.  I'm having lots of fun with these. 

We've got 6 colours plus the skin tones available now and the rest on August 1st.  Plus you can now order Memento Ink and the Colour Lifter.

A Groovy Index:  Check out pages 245 - 247.  A snazzy index of all our greeting sets including pictures.  (Is it just me that gets excited about an index - ha ha.  I really like this one.)  Looking for a Happy Birthday or a swirly font - just browse through here to help you find your perfect greeting.

Bundles - There are lots of great new bundles.  Buy both coordinating products together and save 15%.   Keep an eye out for the Bundle And Save boxes through the catalogue.  Stamps and punches, stamps and coordinating framelits.  Lots of new coordinating products - something Stampin' Up are famous for.  Makes crafting so easy.

Projects - Scattered generously through the catalogue are projects you can try at home.  Great photos plus all the products you need with handy page references.  There are so many beautiful creations through this one - a great resource to have on hand. 

If you'd like to share some new catalogue excitement with some other Stampin' Up fans - come along to my New Catalogue Launch later this month.  All the details here: Launch Dates and Details.  Filling up fast - just a few spots left. 

Happy New Catalogue day. 

Cheers, Sue

I'll have one running from April to September and another one running from July to December (with our new big catalogue.) 

Spend $50 a month on fabulous craft products for the 6 months of the club and one of the months you'll get to choose at least $50 of free products.
