Hi all,

Well what a great gift this is for you the hostess!! I might have my own party for this one. Stamping up have given us one great deal just before chrsitmas. From now until December 16th, host your own party and with qualifying sales you get to choose a WHOLE set of new Stamping Up! ink pad entirely for FREE!!! (Valued at $79.95) That is on top of your already great hostess gifts.

As some of you will know, Stampin Up! changed their ink pads in September to a nice more spongey and inky pad. No more banging your stamp to get it all covered. With the new pads you just gentley tap once maybe twice and thats it. The colours seem to be brighter and the image is nice and sharp. So if you need to build your collection of the new pads like I do, what a great way to do it.

Book your party today. If you dont want a party or live too far away but have a collection of friends who want to order or you just want to put in an order yourself, you still get the stamp pads and all the hostess benefits if the sales reach the qualifying amount below. (You can be your own party)

The set I am using today is a hostess exclusive set called "A Cherry on Top " So many things you can do with this set, today I have made a sharker card as a little fun. This is the first time I have used this and I can tell you it will not be the last!!!

This is the complete set:

These are fun to make and the look on face of the person receiving it just makes my day. I can show you how to make these at a workshop with many different types of sets.

So now is time for you to go grab a coffee (if you havent got one already) and hop over to another member or our ESAD blog hop and that is Narelle Hoggard's little home on the web.

I hope you love this blog hop as much as I know I will.

Sunny Challenges & Creations

Hi all


As some of you know I am at home right now looking after a torn tendon in my shoulder, so I need some things to do, there is only so much T.V you can watch and books you can read, so I am teaching myself to do a little left handed stamping. Some are not bad, some not so good haha, but today's one I dont mind and have decided to enter it into a challenge over at Sunny Challenges & Creations .

The layout is below and had to be black and white.

So my take on the black and white theme is below. Of course how can you do black and white without bling, well I cant it screams bling me!!!

The bottom is black embossing a new stamp set called Flowering Flourishes, a bit of black card stock, a touch of ribbon and the bling and I was done, not bad for a right hand person doing it left handed.  Maybe I could make double the amount of cards when I am back to being two handed HAHA.

The new Catalogues is here!!!

Well Hi there everyone!!!

Looks what happens while I have been away for the week end, the two new amazing Catalogues came out yesterday.

This did not stop me taking my ipad with me and an already sorted out order. If you want to get your hands on your very own copies, email me at ratherbstamping@yahoo.com.au or call me from anywhere in Australia on (03)87114401.

You can also click on the links to the side to look at all the wonderful new products. You can also order from anywhere in Australia too with my contact details above. I will pop a few new cards up over the next two days using stampsets from the new catalogues. We have even been shown how to decorate food using our products!! Who would have thought you could have Stampin Up decorated cupcakes, biscuits, cakes and more. If you would like to learn how to do this, have a few friends around and we can make a day of it, well a few hours anyway, then you can eat what you make !!
