Sneak Peeks: Lotus Blossom Stamp Set from the NEW Occasions Catalogue




It is a great time to be a Stampin! Up demonstrator at the moment. 
We have the year end sale and also as a demonstrator we have advance access to the new Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues. They are packed full of lovely goodies. 
Just send me an email if you would like me to mail you there great new catalogues. For every $90 you order you can get a free gift from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. There is also extra incentive for hostesses. 


My friend and up-line Chloe Evans has already created this beautiful card using the 
new 3 STEP stamping set, Lotus Blossom. I am waiting for mine to arrive.

My biggest seller at our weekend craft stall was the sticky note calendars.


For those of you who would like to make your own they are really easy. 
You can purchase the mini calendars from edex.com.au (pack of 25 for $5.50)
They are just an easel card that you can search for a how-to video on youtube.
The measurements (in inches) I used were;
1 - Easel panel -11 x 4 3/8 (scored at 5 1/4, 5 3/8 and 8 1/4)
1 - matching card stock panel 4 3/8 x 5 1/4
1 - card stock calendar backing 2 1/4 x 2 13/16
1 - 4 1/16 square piece of card stock for the sticky note box (scored at 1/2 inch on all four sides) 
2 designer series paper panels 4 1/8 x 5

You can get one complete calendar stand out of a 12 x 12 piece of card stock. 
Don't forget to use a 1" circle punch on one side of your sticky note box BEFORE you snip the corners and glue it together. 

Good luck, they are quick and easy to make and are a very nice gift.
