No, not Stampin' Up! 6 April 2019

Hi everyone,

surprize, a post on a Saturday!

I wanted to play with some non Stampin' Up products today just for a change.

I've used 4 different Distress Oxide ink pads to create my background. I spritzed it once  with a fine mist of water after I blended & dried.  I've stamped my fairy and mushroom stamps by Lavinia in Stazon Jet Black.  My sentiment is by Ali Edwards in Jet Black as well. I've dotted here and there some very tiny rhinestones, layered on to Basic Black cardstock and drawn around the outer edges with a gold Krylon leafing pen.  Love it!

Til next time, remember,

happy stamping, colouring & creating!

FF@F'o'clock'ish, 5th April 2019!

Welcome back fellow lovers of all things stamp ink & paper!

This week I'm sharing another card I made using the colour challenge my team manager set for us last week for the month of April, #CCFC02!  I liked the one I did on Tuesday but I feel this one shows the colour combination much much more beautifully!

I hope you like it.  I'm gearing up to leave for Auckland, New Zealand on Wednesday next week.  I hope to be able to blog whilst I'm there with some sneak peaks of the new Annual catalogue that comes out in the first week of June. I know I'll be adding photos to my Instagram page. To find me on Instagram look for 'Wirgie101'  I love these events and this is the first time I've actually traveled overseas for one of these events.  It's also a 3 day event which I've not been to for a couple of years at least.  I've only been to one day local events since 2015's Onstage that was on the Gold Coast of Queensland, Australia.   So this is going to be so much fun meeting fellow demonstrators from all around the world!

Why don't you have a go at this colour challenge, it's quite a stunning, elegant mix!

TuTu Tuesday, 2nd April 2019! #CCFC02!

Oh dear, where has Tuesday gone! I've had a lovely day, bible study group this morning then 4 of us decided to go out for lunch afterwards and what lovely sharing time we had!

So sorry this is late in the day but happy Tutu Tuesday folks!  Isn't this gorgeous, so bright and vibrant!

Today I've created using a colour challenge my upline/manager, Kylie Bertucci has set for our team. Check out this gorgeous colour combo! 

Isn't it beautiful and boy did I have fun trying to do it justice.   I have use a Sale-A-Bration set I earned recently called All Adorned.  I hope you all managed to get a set because sadly it's now retired.  I've used all the colours except black. I just couldn't get anything in black to work on this.  I hope you like it. I'm certainly not going to leave it at just this first card. I'll try a few more designs soon and will share them with you all. Enjoy!

Today's the day! 1st April 2019

Your space, your way! 

The new Storage by Stampin'Up!®

has arrived!

You can now purchase any or all of the units right now!  Here are the details and some answers to questions you may be wondering about!

Q & A's

Will old-design Stampin’ Pads fit in the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?  No. The Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays are designed to fit our new-design Stampin’ Pads only.

How high can I stack storage trays?  We stacked up to 50 storage trays without any issues, BUT we would not recommend stacking that high. While our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are sturdy, the higher you stack them, the less stable they’ll become. Use your discretion when stacking.

Can I mount my Storage by Stampin’ Up! products on the wall?  No. Our modular storage products are designed to sit on a table (or similar flat surface).

Can I mix and match Storage by Stampin’ Up! products?  Yes! Our Storage by Stampin’ Up! products are modular and designed with customisation in mind. Take a look at the flyer for more information on the size and dimensions of each item in our new modular storage product line.

Do I need a Storage Lid for each 5-tray stack?  No. The Storage Lid covers the top of Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays and Open Storage Cubes, so you need only one per storage configuration.

Are Storage by Stampin’ Up! products free-standing or stacked?  Both. We designed these modular storage products to be free-standing and stackable, so you can customise your crafting space to work best for you

How many Stampin’ Ink Refills can I store in the Storage Topper?  You can store up to 20 Stampin’ Ink Refills (or other small items) in the Storage Topper.

Are ink pads difficult to remove from Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays? 

No. When you insert an ink pad into a storage tray, a small portion of the ink pad will stick out. We designed it this way, so your ink pads will be both secure and easy to access.

Can I buy individual Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays and/or Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays?No. Both of these items include a set of five white plastic trays. Please use the configuration chart to determine how many storage units you need.

How do the silicone feet work?To protect your surface and prevent slipping, we’ve included peel-and-stick silicone feet with the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays, Stampin’ Blends Storage Trays and Open Storage Cube.

Also available to purchase from today are the pads of floral Grid Paper that were previously only available to Demonstrators when they attended a Stampin' Up Event.  To order you will need the code 150819 !  Got an questions?  Don't hesitate to contact me at wirgie101@gmail.com or leave a comment below!

Remember the lovely collapsable gold polkadot bins that were only available for a short time a couple of years ago?  Well if you check out the storage rack you will find them in there, until stocks last, at the great price of $8.00!  Get them whilst you can!

 Til next time, remember,

happy stamping colouring & creating!

Fabulous Fridays @ 5'o'clock, 29/3/2019

Welcome back everyone & welcome to all my new readers & subscribers too!

This week is a little different. I want to share with you information about an exciting new range of storage products coming to Stampin' Up! from 1st of April 2019.            That's right on Monday!!! 

Not long now. It will be available through  my online store to all!

I can't wait to order it because, as many know, I have limited space in my little house. I see these modular units as a great space saving  product AND one that will be much more compatible on my desk than my current storage systems.  Stampin' Up! have worked very hard to bring you these products and I am sure there will be add ons to the range as time progresses.  So if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me at wirgie101@gmail.com or leave me a message in the comments below.

Take a look at this little graphic and then have a look at the information below about these modular units. They are designed to stand on your desk top and be stacked on top of one another.  Yes you can stack them up but bare in mind the more you stack, they may become less stable.  I feel an ideal stack is 3 to 4 high and maybe with one tray on top with reinkers in them.

These next links will take you to PDF flyers that you can open in Adobe Reader or download to print out. There are two flyers, the first one is to show you the different configurations and the 2nd is to show you pricings.
