Party Puffins + 2021-23 In Colors

April 14, 2021April 13, 2021 ~ Kelly Kent ~ Leave a comment

Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators were able to order new catalogue Stampin’ Up! supplies a couple of weeks ago and I was excited to have my box land on my doorstep early this week. Housework neglected, bedtime ignored – it was so much fun to unpack and play with the gorgeous products.

Most of my box contained an assortment of products in the brand new 2021-2023 In Colors. Introducing…

They are a such a pretty mix! Do you have an early favourite? I love how well they coordinate together – ready for a range of styles of stamping.

Another cute little new addition in my box was the Party Puffins stamp set. The black stamping of the puffins was the perfect contrast to show off the new In Color range.

Dancing their way into our hearts, these puffins are definitely stealing the show from the pre-order list.

PALE PAPAYA

POLISHED PINK

FRESH FREESIA

SOFT SUCCULENT

As well as the In Color cardstock used for the card bases, there’s also Stampin’ Blends in each colour, a stack of DSP in 4 different patterns and sweet little gems.

The top layer of the card base has been cut using a new die from a set you’re going to want to have called Basic Borders. It’s going to add a great textural finish to your projects in 2021.

If you love the idea of having early access to all your favourite Stampin’ Up! products, you’ll be excited to hear that all the items you see on these projects are available on preorder and can be added to a Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit. $169 for your choice of $235 of products including free shipping and then a 20% discount on all the orders you place until October 2021. If this sounds like a deal you’d like to get on board with, click here to buy your Starter Kit. If you have any questions, please message me.

Curvy Celebrations | Coming soon

November 1, 2020October 26, 2020 ~ Kelly Kent ~ Leave a comment

It’s become tradition for Stampin’ Up! to share an early release with us from the upcoming mini catalogue. From 3rd November 2020, customers will be able to order products from the Curvy Celebrations suite.

But wait, there’s something special about the 2020 release – they’ve upped the ante! As well as letting us order the Curvy Celebrations stamp set a whole 2 months early, they have also released limited edition Christmas products that coordinate with the Curvy Dies.

154319	QUITE CURVY BUNDLE Includes the Quite Curvy Photopolymer Stamp Set and Curvy Dies	$72 AUD
155364	CURVY CHRISTMAS PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET Exclusive stamp set	$37 AUD
155969	CLASSIC CHRISTMAS 6″ X 6″ (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Exclusive Designer Series Paper;	$20 AUD

One of the perks of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is being able to pre-order these releases even earlier than early – and at a discount! If you’d like that kind of special treatment, join my Paper Adventures Team. Click here to purchase your $169 Starter Kit ($235 of your choice of products with free shipping) and enjoy a 20% discount until at least April 2021. It’s the perfect time to join and get all your Christmas crafting needs at a fabulous price. As well as the discount and perks you’ll find yourself part of a wonderful group of stampers – new friends and a place to hang out online? Yes please!

Here’s what I made with the Curvy Christmas stamp set and Curvy Dies once they hit WA shores.

I’m still in a blue phase, so it’s a Night of Navy, Balmy Blue and Misty Moonlight trio with silver highlights.

I’ve combined the stars from the curvy stamp with the Stitched Stars Dies. As always, the new products coordinate perfectly with things you’ve already got in your craft room.

The detail and curve of these dies is so pretty. I love how the sentiments are made to follow the curve as well!

I know you’re going to fall in love with this bundle. Just two more sleeps and it will all be available in my online store. Click here to shop.

DSP | Add to Cart in October

October 24, 2020October 22, 2020 ~ Kelly Kent ~ Leave a comment

All through October 2020, Stampin’ Up! are offering a 15% discount on selected DSP patterns. You can see them all in my online store. Here’s a snapshot from the store, click to browse online.

I have many favourites, but one that has particularly caught my fancy this year is the Whale of a Time DSP from the Annual Catalogue. It’s part of a suite and has a range of coordinating products including a stamp and punch bundle called Whale Done.

The DSP is filled with beautiful marine life including seahorses, turtles, crabs, jellyfish and more.

The punch coordinates with the paper and punches out the whales. I love it when I can add a perfectly coloured image from the DSP to my card!

The other DSP I’ve been really getting a lot of use from is the In Good Taste pack. It’s a large pack, with 2 sheets of 12 different designs – which are all double sided, so you get 24 different photographic textile patterns. I’ve kept half the sheets as 12×12″ size and I’m using them as backgrounds when I take photos of my cards. Here’s a snapshot of some of them in action from my Pinterest.

Whale Done is just $17 until the end of October and In Good Taste is only $31.45. Shop online and have it delivered to your door. And then create pretty cards with pretty paper until your heart is content. I can’t think of a better way to craft than with DSP!

Paper Shares | 2020 Annual Catalogue DSP

May 31, 2020May 31, 2020 ~ Kelly Kent ~ Leave a comment

Ever flipped through your Stampin’ Up! catalogue and thought “I want it all!”???

The best way to move through your wishlist at record speed is to join my Paper Adventures Team. “Joining” a direct sales company is not nearly as scary as it sounds, and you can trust me when I say that you can absolutely join as a personal shopper with no pressure or expectation to sell to anyone. I have a team of happy shoppers who enjoy their 20-25% discount, early access to products, invitations to events and the fun of being part of a craft obsessed group of people. To join, you simply need to purchase the Starter Kit for $169. You’ll get $235 of products with free shipping. This is already a great deal, but during June (starting 3rd June and ending 30th June), new demonstrators to join Stampin’ Up! will receive an additional bundle (stamp set + punch or stamp set + dies) in their Starter Kit for free. Message me on Facebook or email me to chat more about what it means to be part of the Stampin’ Up! family.

If you’re already a demonstrator, or happy to continue with personal shopping at retail price, but want ALL the DSP (patterned paper), you might be interested in my DSP Shares. I offer these every catalogue and it’s a great way to get all the patterns of paper available in the new catalogue, but in a smaller quantity. This means you can have every design but only pay a fraction of the price. I buy each pack, cut it down into 4 equals shares and package it up for you. Each share is 1/4 of the retail price.

I will update on Wednesday to include photos of each DSP, but until then, here’s what the DSP Shares include:

SUITE COLLECTION
132 sheets of 6″x6″***
$60

Artistry Blooms (12)
Flowers For Every Season (12)

***Note: DSP can be left as 6″ x 12″ where possible. You still get the same amount of DSP, it is just left in bigger pieces for patterns that come in 12″x12″

COLOR COLLECTION
60 sheets of 6″ x 6″

To order, please complete the form below and I’ll contact you with payment details.

If you don’t have a demonstrator in Australia and still need an Annual Catalogue, please contact me as I have spares to send.

Just Add Ink #490 | Add an Easel

January 30, 2020January 30, 2020 ~ Kelly Kent ~ 3 Comments

Thank you so much to everyone that entered our start to 2020 challenge (#488 – Celebration). If you were one of the winners, please make sure to email the JAI blog to claim your prize.

This week Lou has challenged us to “Add an Easel”. Of course, this could be an easel style fancy fold – or you could incorporate an easel into your project design like Tina did. Click here to see all the design team creations and add your project to our gallery.

I wanted a fresh easel for this challenge – one I haven’t tried before. While searching for cool easel ideals, I came across a Triple Easel Card designed by Nicole Wilson. Nicole has very kindly put together all the measurements and instructions which you can purchase by clicking here. Tutorials are a fabulous time saver and worth every penny to the designer!

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent

This style of easel card has three layers of easels (as the name suggests). The back layer is created using the card base and the front two layers are created using DSP.

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent Because all our DSP is double sided, it creates a wonderful contrast. I’ve used the Peaceful Poppies DSP. The colours and patterns in this DSP are absolutely gorgeous!

The colours for this card are Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss.

The flowers & leaves are cut using the Poppy Moments Dies from the Peaceful Poppies suite. I wanted a variation in colour, so the back layer of the flower is cut using the Lily Impressions DSP* (*free during Sale-A-Bration). Again, Stampin’ Up! shows its versatility with coordinating products both within the suite and across the range.

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent

The red poppies in the middle layer are from the Peaceful Poppies Elements – they come coloured and ready to add to your project!

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent

I’ve used the stamps from the Painted Poppies stamp set to provide coordinating patterns on the card base. These images were stamped in Versamark and clear heat embossed for a subtle tone-on-tone effect.

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent

As with any good fancy fold design, it all folds up to regular card size ready for posting or delivering in an envelope.

Triple Easel Card | kelly kent

This card was delivered today to my newest recruit, Tanya, who took advantage of the great Starter Kit deal available during Sale-A-Bration. Tanya received $235 of products, a bonus stamp set, a DSP sampler and a mini trimmer all for $165. Oh, and FREE SHIPPING!!!

While she remains an active demonstrator (which will be until at least 31st July 2020), she is able to purchase all the items on her Stampin’ Up! shopping list at a 20% discount. If she wants to, she can sell to family, friends or customers and receive an income on their purchases.

This offer is available to any Australian resident between now and 31st March 2020. It’s great for anyone who loves a great deal on their stamping products. The most common question I get asked is “what if I don’t make the minimum quarterly spend”? (which at the moment is $468 at retail prices – you’ll get your discount off that!). The answer is nothing. You get to keep all the items in your Starter Kit and you simply change from demonstrator to customer. It’s a no-risk opportunity that I encourage everyone to take up. You have nothing to lose and a whole team of lovely crafters ready to welcome you.

Want to join Tanya this Sale-A-Bration and join my Paper Adventures team? Click here to purchase your Starter Kit, or message me to chat if you have more questions.

Welcome to the team Tanya – it’s so lovely to have you!

Happy New Year, Happy New Catalogue 2020!

I love the promise a new year holds. I’ve always been a fan of numbers, so 2020 seems like a number that will hold many possibilities. I hope it’s wonderful for you & your family.

I was very lucky over the Christmas break to take some time away with my family in the beautiful south of Australia. We visited Esperance – the town where my husband grew up. We spent time with family, camped on the white sand of the beach and soaked up some glorious sun. We came back recharged, a little sun-kissed and with some great new memories.

Team Kent 2020 | kelly kent

Returning home (with more washing than I cared for), it was nice to get back into my craft room and have a play with some of my new products from the 2020 Jan-June Mini Catalogue. If you live in Australia and don’t yet have a copy of this super pretty catalogue, please let me know and I’ll send one to you. You can also view it online by clicking here.
