Rub-ons

Stampin' Up! Rub-Ons are easy to apply and add depth to any card stock, patterned paper, or stamped image.
Their are many eye-catching images designed to co-ordinate with many of the Stampin' Up! stamp sets. The intricate designs will guarantee to give your projects flair!



1) Cut out your chosen image from the image sheet.
2) Remove the backing sheet
3) Lay the image on your project where desired
4) Firmly rub the image with the round end of a bone scorer or use a paddle pop stick. This will transfer your image onto your project.
NOTE: You will see the image lifted away from the top sheet completely before peeling the top sheet off.

Rub-Ons can be used on paper and most nonporous surfaces, including glass, photos, candles… let your imagination go wild!


Rub-Ons can be found on page 139. Planter Box & Laughter and Love $19.95 include 2 sheets per pack, 1 in white and 1 in choc chip. Bright Delights are $21.95 including 2 multicoloured sheets featuring 4 colours.

Sticky Note Holders

This novel idea came about from a swap at
Convention in Canberra earlier this year.
(Thank you to who made them, but sorry I don't know who you are)


I have been making them and sharing them with my hostesses, and at workshops ever since... and by popular request I have the instructions here for you so you can make them too...
You won't believe how easy it is...


From an A4 page of card you can make 3 holders. Cut your card in the landscape position at 9cm so that you have a piece of card 9cm x 21cm. Now score your card in the landscape position at 9 cm, 10cm, and 11cm. Between the 3 score lines you need to snip or cut 2 cuts. For the holders I have made with a ribbon band I have made these two cuts at 3cm and 6cm. For the ones without ribbon such as the owl one, I have made these 2 snips at 2cm and 4cm. Take note of your card though, you will have a larger side and smaller side from where your score lines are... the larger side is the base. After creating your two cuts attach sticky strip to the inside of the 10cm and 11cm score lines, being careful not to put any sticky strip
between the two cuts.
Now stick this to the base and there you have it!
Decorate as you please... here are a few of the ones I have made lately...




What a fabulous gift idea!

July is the month to 'Snow Swirled' (Stamp set of the month!)

July means that Christmas is only 5 months away!
4 months until we start posting out all the lovely handmade Christmas cards
we have made for our friends and family!

I've started getting organised with my favourite Christmas Stamp Set this year...
Snow Swirled!

Introducing to you the stamp set of the month for July 2009... Snow Swirled!



Over the month of July I will share with you lots of inspirational ideas of how you can
make the most of the Snow Swirled stamp set found on
page 30 in the 09/10 Idea Book & Catalogue (RRP $45.95).

If you like what you see...
Start getting ready for Christmas just like me
by purchasing 'Snow Swirled' in the month of July 2009 from me
for the special price of $39!

That's a saving of over 15%... we all love to save for Christmas!

Here is the first card I made with Snow Swirled...


Colours used are Riding Hood Red and Chocolate Chip. I love Chocolate & Christmas... so swaying away from the traditional Christmas colours I thought I'd add a splash of Chocolate. This is a great card you could mass produce for a stack of Christmas cards ready to post.

Something a little softer...


Reaching into my Soft Subtles collection I pulled out Certainly Celery & Bashful Blue for this one. Teaming them up with Kraft... I was pretty happy with the result. The tree was stamped in Bashful Blue and I used my Certainly Celery Marker to colour near the big swirls after stamping.


Keep posted for more Snow Swirled!
Order your set today at my special price!
