It's time for another round of Cards By Mail to begin and registrations are open now. Read on for more details!
This fantastic program will give you everything you need to create 12 gorgeous cards and is the perfect way to get your hands on lots of new, gorgeous products without having to place a big order to get them. Here is a sneak peek at the cards we'll be making in December:
How It Works: The program will run across 4 months, beginning in December. In order to take part in the program, you will subscribe to all 4 months. Each month, you will receive a delivery straight from the warehouse containing stamps, ink pads and accessories. You will also receive a project kit and instructions from me to complete 3 cards each month.
You will get: Across the 4 months of the program, you will receive all of the following items:
Fabulous Florets Stamp Set (Cling Mount)
Beyond the Garden Designer Series Paper
Melon Mambo Classic Stampin’ Pad
Wild Wasabi Classic Stampin’ Pad
Tangerine Tango Classic Stampin’ Pad
Pacific Point Classic Stampin’ Pad
Happy Greetings Clear Mount Stamp Set (yes, that's right -TWO stamp sets included!)
Cardstock, ribbons and embellishments as required for projects
Several cardmaking techniques that you'll be able to use on all of your projects in future
4 monthly PDF files containing instructions to complete 3 projects per month (a hard copy will also be mailed to you with your supplies)
Shipping $5.95 per month (included)
The Cost: The Cards By Mail program is just $50 per month for 4 months. This includes shipping from the warehouse to you and also postage from me to you for the extra cardstock and embellishments you will need. Payment can be made via Credit Card, Direct Deposit to my bank account or Paypal. A wood-mount stamp set option is available for an additional $9, payable with the first month's subscription fee.
When Is It? The next Stamps By Mail program will begin December 10th, 2011 and will run through to March. The mail outs will happen around the 10th of each month. If you already have any of the stamp pads, you can select another colour of your choice. Just email me prior to the 10th of the month they are needed in and tell me what colour you would like instead.
Please note, for this round of Stamps By Mail, you will need a black ink pad and versamark ink pad from your own stash. If you need to order either of these items, you can save on the shipping cost by including them with your monthly warehouse delivery -that's a saving of 5%!
You will also need a Big Shot machine or similar die cutting machine (such as Cuttlebug) to use the Embossing Folder. If you do not currently own such a machine, you can either choose to purchase one or select a Stampin’ Around Jumbo Cartridge from our current range instead of receiving the Embossing Folder. Please contact me on the details below to discuss your options further.
Upon registration, you will receive an email from me, outlining further details of the program. Please note that this is an all-inclusive program and you must subscribe to ALL four months of the program to participate. To subscribe, please email me on wendy@stampwithwendy.com.au or phone me on 02 4304 1294.

Hi everyone! If you haven't already heard, Stampin' Up! pre-released a special stamp set in October that will be available in our upcoming Summer Mini Catalogue, beginning on December 1st. The stamp set is called "Stitched Stockings" and it is super cute! I've used it on today's card, together with the matching two-step Stocking Tag Punch. Both the punch and the stamp set are available for purchase during October. You can view the silhouette images of the products, along with the order codes and prices here in this flyer. If you would like to order the items, please email me urgently, as they're only available until tomorrow (otherwise, you'll have to wait until December for the release of the summer mini).
Now, on to today's card! The idea for this card came together from a couple of sources. The first being from this card here by Leonie Schroder. I loved Leonie's idea to add pressies in the top of the stocking and immediately thought of the little pile of gifts in the Loads of Love Accessories stamp set. An idea for a card began to form and when I came accross this card by Jen McGuire, I knew I had the layout I was after. And so, today's card was born! I hope you like it. I'm thinking I might add some bling to the left of the sentiment, but I need to ponder that some more to come up with the exact look I'm after.
Here are the supplies I've used on today's card:
Stamps: Stitched Stockings, Many Merry Messages
Paper: Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White, Letters to Santa DSP
Ink: Old Olive, Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso
Accessories: Paper Snips, Stocking Tag Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Blender Pens, Big Shot
This fantastic program will give you 9 beautiful card designs and the supplies you’ll need to create them. It’s also the perfect way to get your hands on lots of newly released, gorgeous products without having to place a big order to get them. With this next round of Cards By Mail, you choose whether you want to make Christmas Cards or All-Occasion Themed Cards. By the end of the program, you’ll have enough supplies to create at least 160 cards –all your Christmas Cards done in one fun program, or a great stash of cards for your year-round birthdays and “other occasions” requirements!
How It Works: The program will run across 3 months, beginning in September. In order to take part in the program, you will subscribe to all 3 months. Each month, you will receive a delivery straight from the warehouse containing stamps, inkpads and accessories. You will also receive step by step instructions from me for 3 different project designs each month, along with additional embellishments as required.
You will get: Across the 3 months of the program, you will receive all of the following items (depending on the theme you choose);
Either a Christmas or All-Occasion themed Stamp Set (Clear-Mount version)
Designer Series Paper pack
1 Pack Either Riding Hood Red or Cherry Cobbler A4 Cardstock
½ Pack Either Old Olive or River Rock A4 Cardstock
½ Pack Either Early Espresso or Basic Black A4 Cardstock
2 packs Either Whisper White or Very Vanilla A4 cardstock
Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch
Either Old Olive or River Rock Stampin' Write Marker
Either Riding Hood Red or Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker
Either Early Espresso & Marina Mist Markers or Basic Black Classic Stampin' Pad
Designer Frames Textured Impressions Folders
Silver Mini Brads Embellishments
3 monthly PDF files containing instructions for 3 different card designs per month
Shipping Fees as applicable (included)
In order to use the cling stamps included in this program, you will also need clear blocks. If you don't already own clear blocks, please contact me to arrange for the necessary blocks to be ordered and supplied with your first month's delivery (additional fee applies).
The Cost: This Cards By Mail program is just $75 per month (clear-mount option) for 3 months. Wood mount option is available for an additional $10 in the first month. The monthly fee includes all shipping and postage charges. Payment can be made via Cash, Credit Card, Direct Deposit to my bank account or Paypal.
When Is It? The Christmas Cards By Mail program will begin September 10th, 2010 and will run through to the end of November. Payments are due by the 10th of each month and mail outs will happen after the 10th of each month. If you already have any of the stamp pads or markers, you can select another colour of your choice. Just email me prior to the 10th of the month they are needed and tell me what colour you would like instead.
To subscribe, please email me or phone me on 0402 120 972. I will then give you details of how to make your payment via your chosen method. Please note that this is an all-inclusive program and you must subscribe to ALL three months of the program to participate.
Hi Everyone! Welcome to day 20 of my 20 days, 20 cards series! Today's card is a design by Nikki Estes that I adapted slightly to use my Stampin' Up! supplies. I really didn't change anything about the card other than the stamps used, as I liked Nikki's design so much. I hope you like it too!

Hi Everyone! For today's card, I decided to keep it REALLY simple and use just stamps, ink and cardstock. And I'm thrilled with the result! This card was so quick and easy to put together and I think it looks great! I'll definitely be making more in this design. I got the basic layout idea from a card I saw a couple of years ago on the Hero Arts website. I'd saved the card idea in a folder of ideas that I keep. When I was looking for inspiration for my 20 days cards, I came across it and decided the poinsettia from Christ is Born was the perfect stamp for the job. I hope you like it!

Hi Everyone! I have something a little different for you today - a square card using a colour combination that you may not initially come up with, but I think it works. I really like how this card turned out (after a few tweeks and changes along the way) -so much so that I think I'll make a couple more in this design. I also have another giveaway today, so be sure to check out the end of today's post for details on that.
I came up with this design with inspiration from a shop-bought card that I saw in the newsagent a couple of weeks ago. It had a handmade look about it and it was quite a cute card, so I snapped a photo of it with my mobile phone and decided to try my own version of it. I hope you like it!

Hi Everyone! We're on the home stretch of my 20 days, 20 cards series -only 5 days to go! I've really been enjoying putting the series together and it's proving to be a great way to build up my Christmas card stash! I hope you've been enjoying the series too.
I'm really pleased with how today's card came together. I had a bit of an idea in mind of how I wanted to create it, but I wasn't sure if it would work in real life, so I made a test one before I began filming and it came out better than I'd expected. Don't you love when that happens? I think I'll make a few more of this design in various patterned papers (and you know I'll make one with the Jolly Holiday papers!). I hope you enjoy today's card, too!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to Day 10 of my 20 days, 20 cards series! I'm so excited to share today's card with you -I just love how it turned out! In designing today's card, I had a very blurred image of a card from an online magazine that gave me the idea for the layout. I'm not sure who the designer of that card was and I don't remember which magazine I saw it in, but my card is identical in layout and I've just changed the patterned papers and stamps to use my own Stampin' Up! supplies. I hope you enjoy today's card, and if you create one of your own, I'd love to see it!

Hi Everyone! I've got an extra post today because I just couldn't wait to share this gorgeous gift card holder! I'd seen the idea of Ferrero Rocher Cards a couple of times online and I did come across a tutorial for sale on how to make them, but I decided to save my money and make up my own. As I was formulating my plan for creating these, I thought what a great idea these are for giving gift cards. When I give a gift card, I always feel a bit uncomfortable at just handing over an envelope, rather than an actual gift. With these little cuties, you have a gift AND a card AND a gift voucher all in one. LOVE it!
I was so thrilled with how it turned out, I think I might schedule an extra class to teach this one before Christmas. What do you think? Would you be interested in learning how to make these? Leave me a comment on this post and let me know.

Those who know me well know that I am a BIG fan of making Christmas cards. It's my favourite papercrafting theme! It's {mostly} for this reason that I am SO excited to announce this program.

With each of these giveaways, you'll have until midnight the following day to post a comment to enter. Winners will be drawn the day after and notified via that day's blog post. You'll need to keep an eye on my blog to find out if you're a winner!
The second way to win is simply to place an order with me anytime in the next 20 days. Everyone who places an order within the 20 days, 20 cards promotion will go into the draw to win one of 10 prizes.

Greetings Fellow Stampers! Today I've got a Christmas card for you that I CASEd from a card by Shaela Odd in this year's Scrapbook Trends Holiday Cards ideas book. Here's a picture of Shaela's card:
Isn't it beautiful? As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to create something similar. So here is my version of Shaela's card:
As you can see, I changed a couple of elements. Because we don't have snow here in Australia at this time of year, I left out the snowflakes and used a non-SU Christmas ornaments embossing folder instead. The sentiment is from Contempo Christmas and the baubles are from Tree Trimmings stamp set. The ribbon is our Real Red Spotted Grosgrain, currently available for FREE with the purchase of one of our Christmas Bundles.
If you'd like to order any of the Stampin' Up! supplies used to create today's card, please email me or phone me on 0402 120 972.
Happy Friday, Everyone! I'm so glad to see the weekend here at last! It's been a bit of a crazy week here and I'm looking forward to spending the day crafting with some special people tomorrow. It's Create A Card Friday and I have a sweet Christmas card to share with you today. I CASEd this card from Papercrafts Magazine's website -I've just changed the design a little to suit the supplies I had on hand. This is a great card for mass-producing -perfect for making your own Christmas cards!
Here's today's video (please excuse the crying child in the background throughout the video -he was sleeping when I started filming!):
Don't you just love a freebie? A few days ago, I received an email offering this free idea book and I just knew I had to share it with my blog readers! I'm not one for Halloween, so I just skipped right past those pages to the beautiful Christmas projects. Click Here or on the image above to download your free copy! There's some lovely ideas in this book -just in time for your Christmas crafting! Enjoy!
One of the things I love most about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is the sense of family and community that we have in our fantastic team. I'm constantly witness to the generosity of fellow demonstrators and the awe-inspiring way they rally together to support a good cause. My announcement today is another great example of this.

Hi Everyone! Today I'm sharing another Season Of Joy card. I forgot how much fun this stamp set is to create with! The variety of images makes it such great value. And with the current promotion offering free ribbon when you buy it together with the matching wheel, it's even better value! Love free ribbon!
So, today's card is a CASE of a card made a few years ago by Kristina Werner. I'm sorry I lost the link to the actual card, but the only thing I changed was the colour scheme. Kristina's card used Regal Rose and Wild Wasabi, but I've changed that to Real Red and Old Olive, in line with more traditional Christmas colours.
The ribbon I've used on today's card is available for free with the purchase of one of our special Christmas Bundles! Click Here to read my post with all the details of the promotion or contact me if you'd like to place an order.
Stamps: Season of Joy
Ink: Real Red
Paper: Real Red, Old Olive, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Stampin' Write Marker, Real Red Spotted Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
