Botanical Prints  – a Kiwi Twist

Hello from New Zealand – It’s your friendly Kiwi here!

Note: Orders currently placed with me will be packed & stored in the Stampin’ Up! Warehouse (Sydney) until New Zealand is out of our national Alert Level 4 and allowing the delivery of non-essential items. 

ORDERING AND SHIPPING UPDATE (1.15 pm, Wednesday, 1 April):

To comply with the New Zealand Government request to only ship essential goods, Stampin’ Up! have decided to hold all Stampin’ Up! shipments into New Zealand during our Alert Level 4. That means that you can still place orders, which will be prepared for shipment and stored in the distribution centre until shipping into New Zealand resumes.

I would like to very clearly state my FULL support for this decision. In addition, during Alert Level 4  I personally and business-wise will NOT be using the mail or courier services – except for essential items – so no cards or class kits or classes-to-go will be shipped at the moment.

All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team

It’s great to be hopping with the All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team – we are ready to help you create beautiful handmade projects featuring Stampin’ Up! products. It’s time for a new Tutorial Bundle and Blog Hop for you.

All Star Tutorial Bundle

Our Design team has created a bundle of 12 tutorials using Stampin’ Up! products and all featuring the Botanical Prints Medley.

This month we have a special treat – the tutorials in our Bundle are videos! Exciting!

Here’s a Sneak Peek of the projects you will receive in the bundle.

April Bundle Sneak Peek

The Tutorial Bundles are based on currently available supplies from Stampin’ Up! and will have both metric and imperial (inches) measurements. So no matter where you live in the world, you can purchase these tutorials and use them to create great projects!
The Tutorial Bundle is $N22.50 – or place an order over $NZ50 this month with me to receive this month’s tutorial for free. See the details at the end of the post to find out how you can get this exclusive bundle of tutorials.

All Star Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop

Remember, the projects in the Blog Hop are not the same projects as in our tutorial – the projects in the Tutorial Bundle are exclusive and not shown anywhere else.

While the project being shared today and my project in the Tutorial Bundle are both made using the Botanical Prints Product Medley – they are different projects.

Blog Hop Project – Feijoa Card

The botanical images in this medley are really versatile – they could be a huge variety of different fruits, buds, berries or flowers! I’ve stamped and coloured the fruity image in Garden green to become a New Zealand favourite – the feijoa. As I say in the video that is in the bundle – you either love them or hate them – I LOVE them!

They grow on an evergreen tree that is part of the same family as our famous pohutukawa tree – their flowers ere even very similar – maybe that’s why we like them and their original and distinctive flavour!

Here’s an another view of the card.

More Project Photos

The Reversible Ribbon is a great addition to the colours of the feijoa – and how cute is that bee!

This is the inside of the card where I’ve stamped a couple more of the images and used the Blender Pens to colour.

… and just so you can see the inside of those feijoas a little more!

My favourite way to eat them is simply cut in half like this and to scoop the flesh out with a spoon … mmmmmmmm

They also make very tasty muffins!

If you live in New Zealand and would like a copy of either the Annual or Mini catalogues or the SaleABration Brochure – please message me.
