Now I know that Baroque Motifs is not strictly speaking a Christmas stamp set, but I hope that this page goes to show that anything in shades of Red & Green can look Christmasy, so really, your stamp sets are more versatile than you might have originally thought!
This was a pretty straightforward page to make. I stamped the Baroque flourish in 2 different colours (River Rock and Old Olive) onto Very Vanilla cardstock, then randomly stamped the small flower from the same set in Real Red.
I did the title using the Big Deal Alphabet, but instead of an O I used one of the bigger flowers from Baroque Motifs, and inked it up in River Rock first, then added some highlights with my Old Olive marker. For a bit of bling, I punched out some photo corners and decorated them with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. A bit of Vanilla wide grosgrain ribbon and all done!
Baroque Motifs is one of the stamp sets being sold this month to help the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. It's $39.95, and 70% of that price goes to the Red Cross. So far, Stampin' Up! has raised over $34,000 through its Bushfire Appeal sales, so thanks to everyone who's purchased stamps to help the Red Cross!
Bushfire Appeal
Join with Stampin' Up! and Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around Australia and New Zealand in helping the victims of the Bushfire tragedy.
You can help by purchasing select stamp sets from 12 February through 31 March 2009, and Stampin' Up! will donate of the sales of these sets to the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfires 2009 Appeal. I will also be donating my 20% commission from the sale of these sets to the Red Cross.
The images show a few projects that I've made with the "Priceless" stamp set, which is one of my all time favourites.

Sale-A-Bration is Stampin' Up's best special of the year, because it involves giving away lots of free stamps.
2. Host a workshop in January or February that's over $600 and choose an extra free stamp set, as well as your normal Host benefits.
3. Become a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and choose an extra stamp set, up to $79.95 worth, from the catalogue, to add to your Starter Kit. That means that the Starter Kit is only $324 for $665 worth of Stampin' Up! products. Great value!
I promised that I'd have a few more examples using the Winter Bright Simply Scrappin' kit, so here's another one. I'm making some calenders as Christmas gifts, and this is the January page. The die cuts and paper from the Kit were great with this photo, and because there's at least two of everything in the kit it's going to be really quick to make two copies of the same calender (don't tell my Dad and my sister that they're getting the same thing!)
Another great thing about the calender and the kit is that both are 20% off this month. The calender pages don't have dates or months on them - you add those yourself, so they can be used for any year or start at any time. We have calenders in 12 x 12 and 6 x 6 format - this one is 6 x 6 and when the year is over, the pages tear off so they can be placed into a 6x6 album - voila, instant scrapbook!
Rub-Ons, from today until the end of November! Stampin' Up is continuing its birthday celebrations into the month of November by offering 20% off these great products to customers who spend $20.
This makes the rub-ons only $15.96 per packet. Each packet contains two sheets, one black and one white. I use my rub-ons heaps, for example in this scrapbook page.
But wait, that's not all... (I've always wanted to have a reason to say that!) There's another special for November as well!
Lots of customers have been asking whether it's possible to purchase our Stampin' Write markers individually, rather than having to buy a whole pack at once. So, Stampin' Up! have been listening. From now until November 30th, you can buy individual Stampin' Write markers, for only $4.95 each. This is a great opportunity to stock up on your favourite colours, replace any that have gone MIA, or get some as gifts for friends and family. Stampin' Up'! versatile, dual-tipped markers have never been offered singly before, so be sure to take advantage of this limited time offer.
