Hot on the heels of my previous post about the new Single Stamps offering, if one new promotion wasn’t enough to get you all hot under your stampin’ collar, how about another…?!
In celebration of their 25-year anniversary, Stampin’ Up! are bringing back some favourite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 11 sets, which will be released – one set per month – through until April 2014.
Along with some great classic images, each “Best of” set will also include a never-before-seen image.
Here are the details you need to know for this special celebratory event…
- All Best of stamp sets will include 3-5 images, including a never-before seen image, and will be priced at $25.95.
- While there will be a release of just one Best of stamp set per month (with a new theme each month) until April, all of the Best of sets will be available until April 2014 (while stocks last after their initial release month)
- A new flyer will be released every month for each new Best of set – see them all here as they’re released!
- All Best of stamp sets are available in Clear-Mount only and the Clear Blocks required for each stamp are listed on the flyer.
- The stamp images may be sized differently from the original stamp sets.
To kick off the promotion, June brings us the Best of Flowers set, which you can see in detail by clicking on the flyer image below.
Personally, I’m a tad bit excited to get my hands on the sweet, miniature Upsy Daisy stamp and the beautiful hydrangea image that was previously only available in larger form as a hostess set is a winner too, I reckon 
Start your Best of collection today…!
I also mentioned in my previous post about an upcoming event that you’re invited to, and this is it! Announcing the Make a Statement Digital Tour 2013.
With My Digital Studio still being a very new addition to the Stampin’ Up! arsenal in Australia, I’m super excited that there is an event specifically aimed at this fabulous design tool!
Having had the opportunity to assist on the MDS booth at the recent Brisbane convention, I was heartened to see how many people gained a whole new understanding of, and excitement about this product after being given some basic instructions and simple information.
Sometimes the unknown aspect can be daunting, and although I’m very computer oriented myself, I know many who aren’t, and whose initial reaction to a new piece of software would be to shy away and to place it immediately in the “too hard basket”.
It’s my understanding that this is why Stampin’ Up! are offering this event – to blow away any misconceptions about difficulty of use and to allow everyone to stretch their digital muscles, regardless of their own perceived competency levels
If you have an inkling – however tiny – that you might like to learn how to create your own digital products, from photo books, to co-ordinated party decor, cards, wall art and more, I would strongly encourage you to register to attend an event near you (Perth peeps, join me at the Perth event on Saturday August 24th – REGISTER HERE!)
Did I mention that your registration fee of $35 includes a copy of the full version of the software (valued at $24.95) plus a half day of training and activities?
You can find all the information about the events that are being offered around Australia on the My Digital Studio website.
Hope to see you there!

A few months ago Stampin’ Up! asked their North American Facebook friends what they thought of the idea of being able to buy single stamps instead of a whole set. The response was so positive that they started experimenting with it in the North American Market. The experiment has been successful—so successful that we now have the option to purchase single stamps here Downunder too!
From now until 31 August 2013 (or while supplies last) there are five very cool single-image stamps for you to choose from!
Click on the image above to see the associated flyer with all of the information that you need about the stamps on offer with this promotion.
Here are some additional details:
- Single stamps can be ordered in my online store or by contacting me.
- These won’t be sent in the typical cases or packaging; they’ll be packaged in cello bags. If you’d like a case for your stamp, you can purchase the Clear-Mount Stamp Cases that come in packs of four.
- This offer is available for clear-mount stamps only.
- The stamps won’t come with a Clear-Mount Block, and you’ll need to purchase a block separately if you don’t already have one. The recommended block sizes for each of the stamps in this assortment is Block E.
- There’s no limit on how many stamps you can purchase.
- These stamps are only available through 31 August 2013, so get them while you can!
I missed out updating you on the latest My Digital Studio downloads while I was away in the past couple of weeks (you can find those ones HERE and HERE) but just released this week is a new assortment of digital delights – five new offerings in total!
You can download a flyer detailing all of the new downloads available by clicking on the “JUN 4″ button below, or head straight to the new downloads section of my online store to check them out… then check them out!
Speaking of MDS (since I seem almost entirely unable to speak of anything much else these days.. 
), my next post will contain details of a fabulous event that’s coming up in the next couple of months, and guess what?! You’re invited!
Stay tuned…

Whilst it’s almost two weeks since the Brisbane Stampin’ Up! convention finished up (which you would know all about if you’ve been following my Facebook page ), my little family and I stayed on for another week or so spend time with gorgeous friends who moved away from Perth almost three years ago.
It was a fabulously relaxing and fun-filled time, but as all good things must, it came to an end this weekend just gone, which was a long weekend in WA as luck and accidental planning would have it, so we had an extra day to re-group before returning to work and school.
So I’m back in my little stamping room, somewhat more rugged up than I was last time I was in here, and a good many stampin’ things have been going on in my absence, not least of which is the 2013 Annual Catalogue Retiring List!
With less than a month to go until the all new Annual Catalogue is released into the hands of Aussie Stampin’ Up! fans everywhere (we got one at convention, so mine is decidedly dog-eared already…), this month sees us say farewell to a good many items that won’t be part of the Stampin’ Up! product parade come the end of this month (or sooner if they sell out first!)
Many of the items are reduced and some have already sold out (that will teach me for going on a holiday at retiring list time…!)
To check out the items that will retire from the current Annual Catalogue, click on the links below:
STAMPS
ACCESSORIES
By far the easiest way to shop from the retiring list is to head on over to the Retiring Products section of my online store, where you will know immediately if something is still in stock by virtue of the fact that it will still be listed in the store!
So if any of your favourite items are listed, I would encourage you to hop to it – products are only available while stocks last.
Don’t miss out!
One of the stamp sets on the retiring list that was one of my absolute must haves when it first appeared in a mini catalogue a good couple of years ago now is the Aviary stamp set.
Aviary – Wood Mount • Aviary – Clear Mount
Sweet little birdcages and a selection of birds to inhabit them – adorbs!!
Here is a card that I made with this set for a precious friend’s birthday just a couple of months back…
I’m a bit gutted to see that the Tiny Tags (wood mount/clear mount) stamp set and Jewelry Tag Punch that also make an appearance on this card are retiring too. They are very much “go-to” items for me… 
Of course, it goes with saying that the lovely Fan Fair Designer Series Paper is going too – the way the DSP does every year (although not always at 40% off! Get some…!!)
If you have any questions about the retiring list promotion or todays’ card, please don’t hesitate to get in touch
