Before I share details of the lovely card and gift I received, above, I wanted to give you a quick heads up there are some price increases that are coming soon.
I wanted to let you know that we’re having our first shipping price increase in 15 years in Australia since Stampin’ Up! came to Australia shipping has been $5.95 flat rate or 5% of the order value – from April 1st 2022 shipping will now be $6.95 or 6% which ever is cheaper. Stampin’ Up! have always and will continue still subsidise the shipping costs on all orders as if you think about it a parcel red satchel from the post office starts at $9.40 (a lot more than what we are being charged). I would strongly encourage you to order smart ie maximise the value you are ordering each time to minimise shipping costs. I just wanted to let you know pretty much as soon as I’ve been notified so that it doesn’t come as a shock.
I received this lovely card and gift last week from Donna and it was too lovely not to share. The background was created using the Stitched Greenery Die (sadly retired) and the leaves and flowers are all die cut with the Pierced Blooms Dies and the gold foil leaves are punched with the Symmetrical Stems Borders Punch. The sentiment is from the In Symmetry stamp set. Of course no card from Donna is complete without “bling” and the Champagne Rhinestones are so pretty.
The butterfly is from the Brilliant Wings Dies and the black is glimmer paper from the mini catalogue that retired (generally this type of specialty paper gets released for Halloween) plus of course some basic rhinestones. On the back of the butterfly is a nice strong magnet so that I can have it adoring my desktop computer.
Have a creative week
