Would you like to share in a ribbon, embelishments, accessories monthly club?

January 30, 2009

I’ve been asked a couple of times if I’d be putting together some ribbon and accessories shares so that people could get ‘bits’ of everything without buying whole items.

Well, I’ve decided to offer a club each month, where the cost will be between $30 and $70 each month (depending on the share). I will let you know each month what will be in the swap, and you simply let me know if you want to be part of that month’s club.

February’s monthly share club

Just some of the goodies available in February's monthly share club!
Just some of the goodies available in February’s monthly share club!
focuses on products available from the Summer Mini catalogue.
It costs $65* and for that you will receive 32 mixed felt flowers, 1 tub of chunky glitter (colour will be luck of the draw), 2 metres of double sided rose red, blue, chocolate ribbons,  25 odd pieces of silver hodgepodge, 6 pieces of ginger blossom designer paper, 6 pieces of bali breeze designer paper and a tombow adhesive.

 

You will also receive FREE sale-a-bration stamp set (you’ll need to indicate which one you would like), and a FREE SU surprise gift (valued minimum $10). A total value of around $100!!!
 * plus postage if you wish to participate and don’t live in Ballarat

The March monthly share club will consist of ribbons, rhinestones, thread, buttons and some of the pretties kit (pearls, flowers etc). I haven’t priced it yet, but would believe it will be around $50*.

I have four places in the February share, and will make March’s share five places. If I have more people interested, I will run more than one club.                                                                                                                                          

 

Please let me know asap if you want to participate. Payment for February will need to be paid to me by 13th February, by paypal, direct deposit or cash.

Here’s another recent card I have made, using colours I normally don’t try

(ruby red, really rust, close to cocoa), using ‘embrace life’ flower stamps, watercolouring, versamark and rhinestones. Hope you like it!


2009 Marker Club (Jan – April) is up and running!

January 9, 2009

What are the markers, what do they do?

Stampin’ Up! has a range of ‘markers’ which are double ended markers which match our cardstock and inkpads. They are SOO versatile! You can write or journal with them, you can colour the outside of an image with them, then use an aqua painter (or blender pen) to ‘drag’ the colour into the picture, you can also colour directly onto the stamp, then ‘huff’ onto the stamp and stamp it. By colouring directly onto the stamp, you can stamp ‘just’ what you want to and leave out bits of the stamp you don’t want to use. This technique is very hard to achieve using an inkpad, but it is really easy using the markers!

More ideas for other things you can do with your markers:

  •  ”ink” up small areas of stamps with them
  • colour direct to the stamp using different colours
  • colour in images directly with them
  • scribble some colour from the pens onto like a dish and pick up the colour using a Water pen or blender pen and colour in.
  • use with the spritzer.
  • draw borders, or create coloured faux stitching.
  • scribble all over a brayer and brayer a unique pattern
  • colour your stamp or brayer with the markers, spritz with water (not too much water as it muddies it up) and stamp onto watercolour paper, gives a great watercolour effect!
  • ‘Thumping’, start with lightest colour to darkest colour on a stamp image, then stamp to get a marbled type look.
  • Edging stamp images (solid ones) with a marker. Ink up the image with you ink then go around the edge with a darker colour.

What is a marker club?

A marker club allows you to buy the whole set of markers, over a period of 4 months.

There are two ways of buying the markers, normally, either by buying them via colour sets ($57.95 per colour set – there are 4 sets), or via buying the full set (48 markers ($233.95) which comes with a horizontal storage ‘go anywhere’ case which keeps both tips inked evenly.

Each marker club will have 4 members, and will run for 4 months. Over the 4 months, each member will receive a complete set of 48 markers with the carry case, by the end of the 4 month period. Each month, each 4 participants will receive 12 markers from a colour family. The ‘hostess’ for each month (which rotates every month) will get the ‘case’, and will also receive $30 in free stampin’ up! products of your choice! You can also choose to gather orders from friends/family or schedule a workshop when it’s your turn as hostess to earn even more free stuff, including a level one hostess only exclusive stamp set and a free current catalogue free of charge (if you don’t already have one). That’s a value of $330 for just $65 a month over 4 months (freebies worth $70+!!)

  2. Payment will be due to me by the nominated day (as agreed) of each month (via cash, money order, paypal or internet bank transfer)
