Are you ready for another blog hop with some of the awesome ladies in the Art With Heart Stampin’ Up! team? 
Today we focus on the new Stampin' up! Occasions Catalogue and also Sale-a-bration! If you place an order with me during Sale-a-bration, you can choose a free item with every $90 you spend in one transaction. There are lots of fabulous free items to choose from (ask me for a brochure and an Occasions Catalogue). The promotion goes right through until 31st March.

Better still, become part of our awesome fun, friendly and supportive Art With Heart team. We have a really large team Australia wide that has been around since Stampin’ Up! came to Australia. We have a very active team forum and also have in person stamp days, challenges, card swaps, product shares and more. When you join with me during Sale-a-bration, you get 2 extra free stamp sets of your choice (of any value) plus $235 product (whatever you choose). That's up to $414 product for just $169. You also get free postage! It’s quick and easy to join online too. Ask me about joining today.

I just love the Carousels and Cupcakes Product Suite in the Occasions Catalogue, so it figured that I would go kind of crazy this past week or so with some creations using this gorgeous stamp set and Designer Series Paper Stack. The three cards you see at the top were all cased from Pinterest and my stamp club ladies enjoyed making them last week, to get our mojo into gear for 2017.

Here are some close ups.

But what I really wanted to do, and something I started planning a couple of weeks ago, was an actual carousel using the gorgeous carousel horses. My birthday is coming up, and I thought, how amazing to make my own cake topper with these gorgeous products!

This one is seriously just a prototype because it's kind of wonky and I used a stack of glue with the hot glue gun, but how gorgeous, gorgeous is it??

I was more than happy last night to discover the Global Design Project theme this week is 3D projects so I'm waving the #GDP071 flag too, along with the Case-ing the Catty Team who have Cupcakes & Carousels as their inspiration this week!

On the 29th of November I posted some Paper Piecing ideas using the delicious Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack which was in the Holiday Catalogue and was discounted heavily in the Year End Clearance. I encouraged all those I came in contact with to buy the paper stack ASAP so they could do this project (See it here).

A couple of people commented on my blog post, requesting a video of how to do it, and since the Christmas Holidays and that busy December period are now over, I finally had some time yesterday to do a Facebook Live recording, showing you how I cut and coloured the cute hens from Hey Chick Sale-a-bration stamp set. 

Click on the video below to learn how quick and simple this technique is! 

The Hey Chick stamp set is one of the FREE Sale-a-bration stamp sets you can select with each $90 product order, between now and March 31st.

There are lots of other exciting products to choose from too. If you'd like to see the new Occasions Catalogue online, click here. If you would like a hard copy in the mail, please let me know via email so I can see if I still have your current snail mail address.
