Just a quick note to let you know I've opened up orders for my two July DSP (patterned paper) and coordinating cardstock kits.
Find all the details and ordering information here: Sue's Handy Kits
This month I'm featuring Textured Chic Specialty DSP from our Annual Catalogue and Boughs Of Holly DSP from our Mini.
I hope it will be useful for you to have the option of a 1/4 pack of the patterned paper plus some A5 sized coordinating cardstock (and a few other coordinating products.)
Let me know if you have any questions about the kits.
I've been thoroughly enjoying creating with the gorgeous Wonderful World DSP this past week. Get this paper plus a coordinating stamp set free when you place a $180 order during July/August (while stocks last.) Or choose from some of the other Saleabration freebies.
I cut the sheet of large flowers and have been making a range of cards similar to these ones. Keep it simple if you've just got a few basic supplies, or add some extra details if you have things like embossing folders and dies.
I put together a video here showing a simple version - plus some stepped up ones at the end with some extra layering.
I've got a new thing happening for the next few months and I hope it is helpful to you with your cardmaking. (If you're ever looking for it you can find a link in the menu above for Sue's Handy Kits.)
First up is a Handy Basics Pack with a collection of neutrals and basics - great for card bases and lots more.
Orders for this will close 15th of the month and estimated date it'll go in the post to you is 30th of the month.
Find all the details here (and if it is useful - you can place your order.)
For the next few months I'll also be offering some patterned paper and coordinating cardstock packs. Each month I'll be featuring one DSP (patterned paper) from our annual catalogue and one from our new mini catalogue. You'll get a 1/4 pack of the DSP plus some coordinating cardstock and a few other matching products. Join in every month or just pick the ones that appeal to you - it is very flexible.
Orders will open for this mid month and close on the 30th. Estimated date DSP/Coordinating Cardstock kits will go in the post is mid next month.
Check here (scroll down) for July/August details. Orders for these kits will open on the 15th of the month. Sue's DSP and Cardstock Kits
There are two options for payment. Use the SendOwl button on the kit page to pay by paypal/credit card. Or there's a link to a google form if you'd prefer to pay by bank transfer.
I hope this is handy idea for you. Get in touch if you have any questions.
If you're phoning or emailing your order through to me - just let me know when you place your order and I can add your free Saleabration items. (One for every $90 of products in the order.)
If you're ordering online and your order reaches $90 in products - here's how to redeem your free products. Here's my order. (I'd love it if you checked that it has the correct demonstrator name. Wink.) Click on checkout once you have finished choosing your products.
On the next screen you'll see the saleabration items. It also tells you how many you've earned. For this order it says up to 2. I can either select two of the Free With $90 Purchase items or I can choose one of the Free With $180 Purchase items. I'll show you how to find them in the next pic.
If you'd like to look through the Free With $180 Purchase items - click the little + sign.
And that will expand the screen so you can see the other items. Once you've chosen all your freebies - continue on as usual.
(If you totally don't love free items - there is a section there where you can choose to continue without choosing any free products.)
Hope that helps.
All of our Saleabration range are 'while stocks last' so some may sell out before the end of August. I'll keep you posted.
Have a wonderful week and for all my customers that are in the very wet parts of Australia just now - wishing you bluer skies and some dry days ahead and thinking of you.
If anything catches your eye - we also have Saleabration happening during July and August so you get to choose free items with every $90 of products ordered. (Or some choices there with a $180 order too.)
This is one of my Saleabration favourites - the paper is just beautiful. Wonderful World DSP and stamp set.
One of the things I almost missed in my first browse through our new catalogue is this Embossing Additions Tool Kit. It has a handy tray with a pouring spout, an embossing buddy to rub over your cardstock before embossing, some groovy crafting tweezers and a crafting brush to brush away excess powder. If you love your embossing - this is a great tool kit. Check it out here: Embossing Tool Kit
I'll be sharing some creative inspiration with you in the coming weeks now that my newest box of goodies has arrived. You might like to subscribe to my newsletter if you're keen on some card tutorial PDFs and don't want to miss any Stampin' Up! news.
July is about to tick over and that means Saleabration is about to begin. It is also the launch of our July - December Mini Catalogue.
During Saleabration you get to choose free products with every $90 or $180 of products ordered. (They're all in the little Saleabration brochure.) To help you choose your favourite I filmed a video so you could have a closer look at the various things. I left my very favourite one until the end. :-)
As part of Saleabration we also have a joining special during July/August. If you join you get to choose $235 of products - (any current items, you can choose your favourites) and you'll pay just $169 and you get free shipping on that too. A good value deal. PLUS during Saleabration you get this gorgeous planner free.
If you LOVE your planners and would like a closer look, here's a bit of a tour I put together so you could see what the assorted pages look like.
I hope those videos come in handy to help you make the most of this year's Saleabration special.
Get in touch if you've got any questions or if you prefer to phone your order through. Happy to help.
If you've ordered in the past year and you're waiting on your catalogues to arrive - I was a little late getting them in the post this time due to a mix up I had when I ordered them. (Oopsie - I pressed the button for more of the Jan - Jun Minis instead of the Saleabration brochure.) The correct ones finally arrived and Hannah and I got them in the post a couple of days ago so they should be arriving very soon.
If you haven't ordered in a while but you'd love a catalogue, or if you're new to Stampin' Up and looking for a demonstrator - get in touch and I'll pop one in the post for you.
Happy creating.
Cheers, Sue
New host code for July (or today if you're having one last look through the Last Chance List) is MRUFJUKA.
This month I've been featuring the beautiful Hues Of Happiness DSP. I love the colours in this one and the mix of painted backgrounds and florals. The flowers are great for fussy cutting too.
If you live in Australia and you'd like a sample of this patterned paper with some coordinating cardstock for ease of creating - I've got a kit offer this month. Sign up before June 29th, I'll order on the 30th and estimate your kit will be posted to you around July 15th (allowing for postage and chopping time.)

Updated: Orders closed for this kit June 30th. If you ordered this kit from me, they are due to be posted to you around 15th of July.
NOTE: Australian residents only.
I'll be featuring two different DSPs (patterned paper) each month - one from our Annual Catalogue and one from the Mini. Jump in anytime if there's one you'd like to add to your collection and if the coordinating cardstock would be useful to help you create with the gorgeous papers.
If you're keen to create at home but want a helping hand - a kit could be just what you're looking for. We've got a range of kits in our kit collection and they contain all the things you need to make the projects. Check the kit description in the online store for a list of the contents.
These two pictured above are two of our newest additions. I love those funky robots.
During June we've got a special to help you get started. Buy one kit and get a second one for half the price. Discount will be automatically applied in the store once you add the second kit. As an added bonus the dearest of the two will be the half price one.
Our Jan - Jun mini catalogue is coming to an end. This is the last month for any items that haven't carried over to our annual catalogue range. Quite a bunch have been discounted. While stocks last.
For this design I started with a very simple card. Just one panel and one layer of stamping. The panel is 7cm x 11.5cm. Stamp Set is Sending Smiles, and the colours are three of our new in colours - Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party.
For the middle card I added the Sending Dies and cut the greeting panel and one of the flowers just to add a little bit of detail.
For the third card I've matted the feature panel using some of the Sweet Sorbet cardstock, and I've die cut more of the flowers. I've also stamped some extra blossoms using Daffodil Delight ink.
Which is your favourite? I'm a simple fan so I think I quite like the one on the left.
I've been quite productive at my craft desk the last week or two so I'll be back soon with some more projects to share. Or catch me on facebook or instagram. Find me at SueMadexPapercrafts over there.
If you love the look of those pretty In Colors - just reminding you we've got a great joining special this month that is rather too good to resist if you have a bit on your new catalogue wish list. Choose any $235 of products, pay just $169 and you get a bonus In Color pack with all 5 ink pads, a cardstock pack, 6" x 6" DSP and some handy grid paper - all free.
