Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board - now available!

Hi

BIG news! The Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board is finally available in Australia.

Here's a picture....




Here's some dot points...

  • It is $31.95! YAY!
  • This would help you use up the MOUNTAINS of patterned paper that I know you are hoarding and never intend to use. :)
  • The instructions are ON the board (metric and imperial)....so you will never have to memorise any complicated equations. YESS!
  • You will be able to create totally customisable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes! WOWS!
  • It is super-easy to use and is small and lightweight. It won't take up a heap of room in your craft space. 
  • It has a clever scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes....not to mention other projects.....you will be able to make 'tabs' on your cards!
  • It's easy to keep it altogether....as usual Stampin' Up! have thought of everything and designed the stylus storage compartment and the punch tool INTO the board so you won't have a tonne of little pieces floating around.
Here's a video....




How do you get it?.....click here to order the new Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board! The code is 133774 in case you can't see it. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Greetings of the Season - Dynamic Duos #76

Hi!

Today's card for Dynamic Duos uses the colour palette of Wisteria Wonder and Perfect Plum. They look great with silver so I made my card using some brushed silver card stock and a gorgeous silver frame.

I'm ramping up my Christmas Card stash so I took this opportunity to make one using the colours. I put a sheet of vellum in the metal frame to give a frosted look to the sentiment.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Dynamic Duos #75 + Mojo Monday - Halloween Card

Hi

Here's my card this week for the Dynamic Duos Design Team. The colours this week are Tangerine Tango and Basic Black. The sketch is from Mojo Monday. 





The tag is from the Tag a Bag Accessories kit....these little tags are so versatile and easily dress up a card. 

I made Frankenstein some little neck bolts from pewter brads....they look pretty groovy in real life. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Less is More ....another attempt!

Hi

I am determined to nail these card challenges at Less is More!

This one features more white space on the card and less of the sponged gray clouds. I think I like it more than yesterday's card.

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #22 - Less is More Halloween Card

Rich Razzleberry Card #1

Hi

This card was made for the Less is More Witches & Wizards One Layer Challenge. This is the first time that I have done this sort of sponged, masked technique, so it is a bit rough in bits.  

In hindsight, I would have gone a bit easier on my cloud cover, but I guess I got carried away and I wanted it to be a bit spooky and stormy looking. 

I might give it another go and see what it looks like a bit 'lighter'. 




It's also another one of my Color Coach Challenge Card and uses Rich Razzleberry, Basic Gray and Basic Black. 

Cheers
