Last Chance for the Holiday Catalogue
Holiday Catalogue ends this Saturday!
The good news is though, that Sale-a-bration starts tomorrow and so does the new Occasions Catalogue. That means you have FIVE DAYS to order from any or all of the catalogues AND you’ll earn a free product for every $90 you spend.

With all the excitement of a new catalogue coming there’s the sadness of saying goodbye to so much-loved products that are retiring. Some of the products from the outgoing Holiday catalogue have made it into the new Occasions Catalogue starting tomorrow. And some may still make it into our new Annual Catalogue when it comes out in July. But if there’s anything you particularly want it’s time to get your order in now!
Here are some of the products that I’ll be missing soon:

A White Christmas in Melbourne!
It was for us! His awesomeness outdid himself this year creating a winter wonderland with a view of snow from every window, four large Christmas trees (and 3 small ones) and over 3000 twinkling lights.
Wonder Hubby had volunteered (yes, volunteered) to host my family’s Christmas Day gathering this year, with over 40 people, and he was determined to do it right. Being an insomniac, most of the work was done at night and there were many mornings where me and the boys would awake to the sight of something new appearing either inside the house or out. The results were amazing!
But what really blew me away was this video, recorded on Christmas Eve, just after Father Christmas had visited:
Can you tell he feels just a tad guilty about emigrating from the UK and being away from his family at this time of year? I hope they enjoyed his little glimpse into Christmas at Gifford HQ, oh and the dozens of photos he uploaded to Facebook throughout the day too!
I hope you all had as wonderful a time as I did and are now equally enjoying the ‘recovery’ too!
Cheers

Santa’s List Pop Up Projects 2
Here I am, back with another Stamp Club project featuring Santa’s List.
You can find the first one here.
This time the project was both a card and a box all at the same time!
It looks simple enough all tied up and flat…
But when you take off the ribbon and gently pull it open… SURPRISE…there’s Santa poking out of the chimney!
Once again, he was watercoloured using an Aquapainter and ink pads. And there’s enough room behind him to add some tags, a gift card or even a small gift.
This Box Card is much easier to make than it looks. You use a single piece of A4 cardstock and no adhesive. Once you get the folds in place and your decorations on, it turns this…
Into this…
Here are the details of the stamp set again:
Santa’s List (Holiday p31)
Wood (131808) $27.95
Clear (131811) $21.95
Merry Christmas to you and your families.
Have a wonderful, jolly time!
Santa’s List Pop Up Projects 1
I love, love, love, this stamp set from the current Holiday Catalogue. And I especially love to watercolour that jolly Santa image.
In my final 3D Stamp Club for the year (and for this round of the club, sob, sob) we made two projects featuring a watercoloured Santa. And both of them had pop up surprises.
This card was the first one. Santa is so perfect for the feature the card barely needs any other embellishment at all.
When you pull the tab at the top, Santa slides back to reveal the rest of the message…
And once it’s open you can leave it in place to display in easel mode or fold it flat to fit into an envelope.
You can write your message on the back or on the rest of that red tab so it too is revealed when the card slides into place.
I’ll be back shortly with the other project – there’s plenty more of Santa to see yet!
Cheers

Festive Flurry Sliding Cracker Card
This Cracker Slider Card was designed as part of last month’s Stamp Club and has proved extremely popular. We even made a matching envelope using the Envelope Punch Board.
The card is quite a complicated and time consuming one to make but your efforts pay off by the bucketload when you see the look on someone’s face as they open it to reveal a hidden message.
Or you could hide a gift card in it for an even bigger smile!
The secret to the smooth mechanism is….believe it or not…strips of plastic bag! You really have to get your hands on it in person to understand what I’m talking about but the movement of the ‘slider’ is so gentle and effortless and definitely not what you’d expect at all from a card.
The decorative details were made using the Festive Flurry stamp set and matching framelits in the gorgeous cool colours from the Winter Frost papers in the Holiday Catalogue.
And here’s a final close up of that flurry on the front:
I’ve had a lot of requests to teach this in a general class but I’m afraid I just can’t fit it in before Christmas. If you like what you see though, let me know, and if I get enough interest I might just be persuaded to design a similar non-Christmas card for an upcoming class.
Cheers

Club Penguin Puffles Aplenty!
It was birthday time at our house once again and for Devon’s 8th birthday party he chose a Club Penguin theme. Well, more specifically, a Puffle Party theme. You might have to be the parent of an 8-year-old to understand what that is! Here’s a clue…
Puffles being round and fluffy I was a bit stumped about how to turn them into themed goodie bags for his party. So I took inspiration from Zane’s earlier Minecraft Party and thought outside the BOX!
We used the now retired Fancy Favour Box die and this time left the curvy edge on to represent the crazy hair. Then all that was needed were a couple of punched shapes for eyes and a hand drawn mouth. Devon loved them and so did his friends.
We carried on the Puffle theme with coloured Puffle Cookies…
And of course a Golden Puffle cake! I thought this was going to be a disaster – why on earth did I think I could ice such jagged edges without it falling apart! But we got there in the end and the last minute addition of the black outlines saved the day. Although I thought they were going to melt away and start dripping down the cake! Here’s the end result:
…which Devon took great delight in massacring when it came time to take a knife to it!
I do love working with the boys on their birthday themes. And I will be rather surprised if I don’t find myself working on at least one Doctor Who themed party next year! All ideas gratefully accepted.
Cheers

Undefined – a brand new Stampin’ Up! product!
Undefined! – Try your hand at stamp carving!
Have you ever wanted a particular
stamp image that you couldn’t find?
Have you ever wanted to have your own
personal stamp that no one else has?
Then Undefined is for you!
This new product allows you to carve your own unique stamps in whatever design you want.
I got to have a play with ‘Undefined’ while at the US Convention this year and created a ‘door’ stamp for my team, ‘The Stampers Next Door’!
One of our gifts while on the Incentive Trip was the full Undefined kit but I have to admit to being too scared to use it since. I was worried that I would mess up the carving of my little piece and not be able to get any more to try again.
I guess now I have no excuse!
