Transition to Die-Cut Stamp Sets

Transition to Die-Cut Stamp Sets with the New Catalogue 31 March 2009

We are excited to announce that with the release of the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue on 1 April, we will be transitioning to all die-cut stamp sets! We know that both demonstrators and customers have enjoyed the ease of mounting these types of sets, and we’re thrilled to be able to offer these sets to you in more than just the mini catalogues.

Please be aware that we’ve set up a process to transition from square-cut to die-cut with those sets that we are carrying over from the 2008-2009 Idea Book & Catalogue to the new 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalogue. We will continue to fill orders with the carryover square-cut sets until our inventory runs out.

During this transition period, when you enter orders for a die-cut stamp set in OEX that is a carryover set, you'll see a pop-up box notifying you that the system is automatically replacing the item codes you enter for die-cut stamp sets with item codes for square-cut stamp sets. This means as we continue to have inventory for square-cut carryover sets, you’ll receive these sets. Once our inventory runs out, you’ll receive the new die-cut sets.

What about the Costs for the New Die-Cut Sets?
Fortunately, with this transition to all die-cut sets, you will not see an increase in price for die-cut sets in the catalogue. So the price you pay for the square-cut sets is the same price you will pay for the die-cut sets.

Simple Sent - Card Kit - Lifelong Notes

Well in my box of delight that arrived today from Stampin' Up! I received a Simply Sent Card Kit... this gorgous box contains such a supprise and I'm looking forward to putting a few of the cards together. What a great give for a friend, family member or a crafting friend, or maybe a treat for yourself. For the next week these wonderful kits are 25% off until the new catalouge brings out a new range. Contact me if you'd like to order one.

Here are some photos from the grand opening :-)

Crafty Cards

I have decided to run a weekly class where friends, family and new customers can join me at a time that suits them to come and make 3 cards using Stampin' Up! products. These classes cost $15.00 and you get to take away your 3 cards. First class is next Wednesday (25th March 2009). If you'd like to join us please email and advise on what time suits you.

Simply Said Card

Thanks to my upline who sent me a packet of supplies to borrow I was able to come up with this card. I'm totally in love with the Pretty in Pink colour and it works so well with the Simply Said stamp set. So this is what I was able to put together.

Stampin' Up!

Wow oh Wow... so my kit arrived... it was so exciting...

So now it's all now on my craft desk and I'm going to enjoy playing with all my new toys

It's on the move

So I tried my best to sort it all yesterday and made the move into the spare room... although it's very difficult to hold a confersation with my partner through the walls so I guess I will miss crafting in the lounge... but atleast I can leave things on my desk and not worry about the children losing pieces.

So here is what I've done so far thanks to a friend (YvonneB) and her help... all over the internet too, we are very techie girls and don't actually need to physically be anywhere :)

Althought what you don't see is the piles of things sitting on the bed... this is a work in progress and I will get there... I'm dreaming big :-)

Craft Space

So I'm not getting far at all.. if anything it's getting worse... HELP ME CRAFT FAIRYS... I WANT TO CRAFT AGAIN

There is totally no more room... and since this picture my Stampin' Up! kit arrived...

So where do you start...

So the count down is on...

my Stampin' Up! (c) kit should arrive today or tomorrow but seening as it's past 5 already it's not going to happen today :-( I'm dying to see what's in my box and to start this wonderful business... I just want to create create create... and then share :-) oh well better run... need to watch the window in case the courier driver turns up....
