World Card Making Day is on 1 October this year in Australia and I have 2 events that day which you might like to consider.
The first event on the day is a free Stampin’ Up! virtual event. They will be using a new bundle for this event. It will be available in the new mini catalogue, but we can get it on preorder. Click here to see the bundle (It is really very cute!!). If you want to join this event click here to register. If you want the bundle for this event, it will need to be posted directly to you so that you have it in time for the day.
The second event is a virtual retreat that I am participating in with my Global SU Share Fair collaborators. The cost of this one will be $20. You will get a pillow gift if you register by 22 September, as well as the tutorial with the measurements to make all 18 projects, and video links for instructions. There will also be Zoom sessions you can join to see live demonstrations of the cards. Each of us is using a different bundle. The tutorial will have details of products used so that you can purchase them if you want to craft along, or use substitutes. I will be using the Christmas Lights bundle. We are busy finalising the registration form, so I will publish the details as soon as they are available.
That’s it for me, thanks for stopping by, till next time

Welcome to this month’s Paper Crafting Blog Hop featuring the theme Congratulations, with a DSP spotlight. I am excited to share another project with you today. Fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe are participating, so we have lots of fun projects to share with you. I hope you get loads of creative inspiration from them. You may have started here, or arrived from the talented Joy Nelson’s blog. Wasn’t her project amazing? Either way, you’re in the right place!
My card is a type of Joy Fold Card. I started with the DSP and drew the colours from that. This is my go -to way to select colour combinations. The pin wheel shapes in the DSP also provided handy embellishments after I fussy cut them.
SUPPLIES:
Stamps: – Peaceful Moments
Inks: – Blackberry Bliss
Card: – Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss, Basic White, Design A Daydream DSP
Tools: – Stamparatus, Scalloped Contours Dies, Stitched Rectangles Dies

I love the images in the In the Moment stamp set. I think they all have a definite pensive mood, and so, are a good choice for this type of card.

In my last post, I mentioned that I was collaborating with a group of Demonstrators to create a Fun Fold Tutorial each month. The June Tutorial was for a Miura Fold card and has instructions to make that style of card, as well as 12 different designs using the fold. I have decided to offer Kits for purchase (in Australia only) for $20 each, including postage.
Each kit will include card stock and embellishments to create 2 different cards. One will feature the He’s the Man DSP, while the other will use the Hues of Happiness DSP. You will also receive a pdf of the Tutorial, by email, with colour photos showing you how to create the card. Below are examples of kit contents.
Please note that there is an assortment of paper patterns in each pack of DSP, so your kit may not look exactly like the photos above. Also die cuts from the He’s the Man DSP will be assorted and designed to match the particular paper provided as there is only 2 of each die cut in each pack, so your pack will be a surprise. The Hues of Happiness cards will vary in colour, depending on the particular papers provided. Click here to view or purchase the He’s the Man DSP or here to view or purchase the Hues of Happiness DSP.
In accordance with Stampin’ Up! policy, no stamped images will be included. I have used the sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set for the sample but you can use any sentiment from your stash. Please use the host code shown in the sidebar to the right of this text when you place an order and you will receive a small additional item in your kit.
As well as your kits, you will need adhesives and, in the case of the Hues of Happiness kit, an inkpad for the greeting, as well as tools to trim and fold the cardstock.
If you need to purchase any additional supplies you can do so in my online store here and they will be posted directly to you..
My downline team ‘Netty’s Inkers’ receives pdf tutorials as a perk for being on my team! Consider joining my team during July or August and you will receive the added benefit of a beautiful, free Making Plans Collection (planner, notebooks and stamp set) in addition to the normal generous, customisable starter kit.

I have joined with 11 other SU demonstrators from around the globe to put together a monthly Fun Fold Tutorial. The group is called Fun Fold Fanatics. Each month we will feature a different fun fold with an illustrated, colour pdf tutorial for that fold, metric and imperial measurements, and 12 samples made using that tutorial with different supplies. A photograph of each sample and the list of supplies will also be provided.
The May tutorial featured a Diagonal Easel Fold Card. Below is the card I made for the tutorial. If you place an order over $40 with me during July 2022 and use my host code for July, I will send you a pdf copy of the tutorial as a thank you.
These cards make a real impact and have the added advantage of standing by themselves but folding flat for postage.
Below: I CASED one created by a fellow Demonstrator. I loved it so much, but I used a different stamp set.

I’d love to know what you think of these cards. Let me know if you would be interested in purchasing “Kits in the Mail” projects you can complete in the comfort of your home. Some of my fellow SU Demonstrators are using the Fun Fold Fanatics Tutorials in this way.
That’s it for me
Til next time
