Cards For Kids: Cute Dinosaur Stamp

Do you have any dinosaur loving children that you'd love to make a card for?  This is a very cute bundle for some dinosaur cardmaking or scrapbooking. 

Darling dinos bundle and card

Just the stamps on their own are terrific and lend themselves pretty well to fussy cutting.  Or get the dies as well if you prefer a quick die cut.  It has the cute dinosaur eggshell die too and some clouds which help to build a cute scene.

Stunning New Papers For Cardmaking and Scrapbooking

The more I use these papers from our most recent Online Exclusives release, the more I love them.  This one is called Botanical Textures DSP.

Botanical textures dsp

This beautiful grayscale paper features a range of leaf print images and some lovely abstract ones on the reverse side.  Use it as is or use your blending brushes to add a touch of colour.  

Botanical textures card group

It makes a lovely background panel for a card and is a great addition to a scrapbooking layout too.

The other paper from this suite is the utterly gorgeous Woven Textures DSP.

I just love this one with its earthy tones. A great way to add some natural elements and organic textures to your cards or layouts.

Stampin' Up! Onstage 2025: Brisbane

Hello - I'm back from Onstage 2025 where demonstrators got to catch up with our stamping friends, make new ones and see some inspiring craft presentations.  Have a few snippets to share with you today. 

We got a sneaky peek at our upcoming annual catalogue that goes live in May.  If you've purchased in the last 12 months I have organised you a complimentary catalogue which will be arriving in your mailbox sometime during April so keep an eye out.  

Annual catalogue 2025

A big thanks to all my lovely customers (and team.)  I received a couple of award ribbons for sales and team building and also got to walk the stage for my $400,000 US in career sales (over 17 years.)  A nice milestone to celebrate and I'm sharing that one with all of you that had a BBB - Big Brown Box - delivery and helped towards that total.

Stage walk

We got to see some of the kits that will be coming soon in our Kit Collection.  I particularly loved this blue one so looking forward to spotting that in the new releases.  Each month we get 2 or 3 new kits and I think they're such a great option for some 'creating in a box.'  They make terrific gifts, or perfect to throw in the bag if you're heading off on a trip, or in the caravan.  Browse our Kit Collection here.

Onstage 8

Here's a bit of a peek at one of our new upcoming suites.  If you're a fan of those lovely layered word dies (I love them) this one has 'lovely' and 'bloom' plus some coordinating phrases and words.  Quite like this font.  

Onstage 5

We had a play with one of the new products in our range - inspired by our Close To My Heart connection - the two tone cardstock.  It is thicker than our DSP but thinner than our cardstock.  You can do lots of things with it as shown below.  It is really nice for using with embossing folders as it has a white core so you can emboss then lightly sand off the colour for some added interest. One side is a darker tone and one is a lighter shade.  You can find our current range here:  Two Toned Cardstock
More colours coming.  I'm putting a few of my favourite colours on my next order. 
 
Onstage 4
 
It was lovely to have so many people with us at Onstage from the former Close To My Heart that have joined us as Stampin' Up demonstrators over the last year.  For all of our new suite presentations we saw some cardmaking ideas and also some scrapbooking inspiration.  I came home with a renewed enthusiasm to get back into some memory keeping.  I'm loving the new products, scrapbooking kits and all the lovely people that have joined our Stampin' Up family.  
 
Most of all it was great to catch up with all my SU friends.  Next year our Onstage event is in Sydney from March 12-15.  
If you'd like to be part of the fun and love an early peek at new products - have a think about joining our demo family before early next year when registration opens. We'd love to welcome you to the crew.

Happy stamping!

Stampin' Up: Grow With Love

Grow with love stamp

This stamp caught my eye from the Online Exclusives. It is the Grow With Love stamp.  Isn't that simple border stamp effective and 'you're on my mind' is such a caring greeting - perfect for a range of occasions.  There is a coordinating die set too if you'd like to make those little seed packet style envelopes. 

Grow with love card

Grow with love projects

Have a great week and perhaps we should all send a card to someone to let them know we're thinking of them.  

Happy stamping.
