New Talking Tags bring your cards to life!

Talking Tags are a brand new product for Stampin’ Up! that let you add your own recorded message to any card or craft project with the help of your smartphone. You can provide personalised greetings, include instructions, make a surprise announcement. It’s up to you.

Here’s how it works:

  • Download the FREE TalkingTag™ App on you smartphone from talkingtag.mobi, iTunes® or Google Play™.
  • Adhere the message tag to your card or gift.
  • Open the TalkingTag™ App and scan the code.
  • Record your message (recording starts immediately, so make sure you’re ready!).

You will have the opportunity to listen, re-record, cancel, or confirm your message after you’ve completed recording it. Each label allows up to 60 seconds of a greeting, song, or product message.

To play the message, recipients will need to download the app and scan the code. Messages are saved for two years, so they can listen to it over and over.

How to Buy Talking Tags:
By the sheet. You get 10 tags for just $12.95 (item 129723).

Email or call me on 9705 2553 to order yours!

Helpful Tips:

  • Adhere Talking Tag to a flat surface, otherwise the scanner can’t read the code.
  • Multiple tags can be attached to one surface, but don’t place them too close together. When scanning a message, you shouldn’t be able to see another code on the screen
  • Do not write or place any decoration over the label.
  • Talking Tag has a permanent adhesive and cannot be repositioned once attached to a surface. Attempting to remove it could tear the label, making it impossible to listen to the content.
  • A Talking Tag message label can only hold one message. Once a message is confirmed, it cannot be deleted or re-recorded.
If you still have questions…check out the video below or have a read of this FAQ sheet.

 

Cheers,

Genna

Merry Christmas from me and from Stampin’ Up!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you had a splendid time with your families. I know I did. My Wonder Husband is from England and despite living out here since 2001 he still isn’t (or doesn’t want to be) used to the idea of Christmas in Summer. He loves the traditional turkey dinner – and thankfully loves to cook it too. So what did ‘his awesomeness’ do? He made it snow in our back yard so he could enjoy the Winter Christmas he craves!

Gifford Family Christmas Lunch 2012

And while we’re in the mood for festivity, here are some fun Christmassy delights from Stampin’ Up:

 

I loved this crafty Stampin’ Up! version of the 12 days of Christmas!

Genna

New Stampin’ Up! Trimmer now available

(Image shows the imperial version

– ours definitely comes with both inches AND centimetres)

Yes, the new Stampin’ Trimmer is now available to order

for just $49.95 (plus postage)!

This new trimmer has been especially designed for Stampin’ Up! and it is wonderful! On the long road trip to Convention earlier in the year, the girls and I were talking about the features our ideal trimmer would have. Imagine our delight when this one was revealed to us  – and it ticked all our boxes!

FEATURES INCLUDE:

  • Extra wide surface with 16cm grid so there’s no need to open the extension arm to cut either A4 or 12×12 cardstock in half.
  • Lockable extension arm with support stand makes working with large pieces (up to 36cm) so accurate and easy.
  • And the grid extends out 3cm onto the other side making it easy to work with small pieces too.
  • The 1cm grid lines are protected under a transparent surface so they can’t rub off – and both the inch and cm measurements are so easy to read.
  • The track is extra long so you can leave your scoring and your cutting blades in place whatever you’re cutting.
  • Both the track and the blades lock into place so they can’t accidentally fall out when transporting
  • And it has non slip feet and a really handy and secure large storage compartment underneath for spare blades, bone folder, etc.

 Take a look at this short video to see it for yourself:

 

And it’s here just in time for Christmas!

If you or one of your loved ones wants to treat you to a fabulous new present this year then get in quick and order yours today. It’s just $49.95 plus postage!

(Postage is calculated at $5.95 or 5% of the total order, whichever is greater.)

 Cheers,

Genna

More 3D Christmas Cards – Pennant Parade

When planning my October Class with the stack of 3D Christmas Cards I was inspired by some cards I’d designed for a workshop in early September, just before I’d received my order from the new catalogue.  I didn’t have the new Ornament Keepsakes bundle then I so made a similar card using the tree from Pennant Parade and it’s matching punch instead.

This is a very similar card to the one for my class with the same colours and same tools, but I thought you might like to see how it can be adapted with different stamps.  The greeting is from the new hostess set Wacky Wishes.

And this was another idea I played around with when designing the workshop cards. I liked this one but decided it was a bit too complicated for a make and take with a new group of ladies. I didn’t want to scare anyone off. I love the little deer from the Holiday Catalogue set Joyous Celebrations – I must find some new ways to use that!

Here’s a close up of the Itty Bitty Button. I gave this clear button some colour by using the matching punch and a scrap of Raspberry Ripple cardstock, which I stuck to the back of the button with a glue dot.

And here’s a tag I made some time ago that started the whole design process off. This one uses the Two Tags die and the Big Shot.

Pennant Parade Wood $37.95 or Clear $29.95

Petite Pennants Builder Punch $29.95 

I’ve only used the Pennant Parade stamp set here for the Christmas tree but at first glance this isn’t a Christmas set at all. The combination of stamps and punch actually works really well to create banners for all sorts of occasions.

Would you like to host a workshop featuring these projects where you and your friends get to make a card like these to take home? 

Contact me now to book your date. And if you like what you see don’t forget to leave me a comment.

Cheers

Genna
