We are very excited to share with you today Stamp Embellish Create! This is a new social site we've been working on behind the scenes, and we hope you will love to come and visit...often! We'll start a new regular Tuesday feature from next week! We'll include all sorts of things like tutorials, hints, cards start to finish, and anything we can fit in! We want to build a community of shared ideas and a catalogue of answers to anything "How to..." in the stamping world, and with your help I know we can!
You can set up your very own page and customise it how you like. Add your photos (any crafty photos using any products - not restricted to ABS) and share them with others.

New AnnaBelle Stamp Sets!

2012-01-14T08:00:00.005+11:00

Welcome today, we are so very happy to have you come by for a visit because we are super excited to show you our first new sets for 2012!!
Introducing :

Lil Monster Valentine

What do you think?? We are just a little excited and we hope you will be as well :) To kick the release off I thought we'd offer a little something to go with each set! With the month of love nearly upon us it was time to bring out the Heart Sprinkles, so for each of the new sets purchased I'll include a pack of Hearts in your order. 1 set - 1 pack, 2 sets - 2 packs! The Sprinkle Hearts come in Blossom, Chilli, Icicle and White & Cream Pearls in three different sizes!

You can choose which one/s you'd like by simply adding the name and size to the comments section at checkout or leave it up to me and it will be a surprise :) This offer will run all week through till next Saturday!!

I would love to hear from you as well so if you leave a comment and then add your name to the Inlinkz below the brand new set Garden Silhouettes could be yours!!! You have until midday Monday to play along before I choose a random winner!! If you could let others know about the release and the giveaway in a post that would be incredible of you as well - thank you so much!
I don't think I mentioned - just a little shy about these things I guess - but the last 4 sets were designed by me :)
Thanks for stopping by and sharing in our excitement!!
Hugs,
Andrea

2011-11-25T12:00:00.003+11:00

We have a brand new sketch to finish off the month, and I've been asking myself "What was I thinking" when I put this one together!! The prize is a $15.00 Gift Voucher to spend in-store so be sure to play along.

You may remember that I did a very quick survey a few weeks back to see if people liked weekly prizes or a larger single prize per month and the overwhelming response was for weekly prizes to remain! So I've decided to make our weekly prize a $10.00 voucher rather than the $5.00 then $15.00 sketch scenario :)
Another bit of news is we are having a weekend sale to go along with our friends in the US - Black Friday. Not sure why it's called this but it sounded like fun lol! Here are the specials you'll find right now!!

Copics - 10%

Christmas Stamps - 20%

Sprinkles - 25%

Petals (inc. Holly) - 35%

Selected Ribbons By The Metre - 40%

Now let's take a look at our wonderful Belles and Guest Belle Sue Mc! It's Sue's last day joining us and I hope you've enjoyed seeing her creations as much as we have...thanks Sue!!

I hope you can find some time to play along with us this week and join in the fun!!

Hugs for now :)

I'm back & our Blog Hop Winner!!

2011-11-09T17:27:00.002+11:00

Hi friends!! We are back safe and sound after a wonderful week at Broadbeach in Queensland! The weather was fantastic (not too hot) and we had a very relaxing time, not even the boys complained about not doing too much lol!
We arrived home yesterday a little late so the draw for the Blog Hop had to wait until now. I had a few orders to take care of and a truck load of washing!! Justin went for his own holiday with mates up to the Sunshine Coast but he seemed to think it was OK to bring all his washing home rather than keep it up to date...lucky he still lives at home lol!
Congratulations to No 5 Mette!!

Email me your details and I'll send your set out to you!!
Catch you all on Friday for our next challenge :)
Hugs,
Andrea

Welcome all to our first hop for November! Today you'll be hopping along with projects using our set Ornamental Christmas!! I love this set and have probably used it the most this year...so far lol!

Today we also welcome our November Guest Belle - Sue Mc Rae....Yes there are three Sue's for November so don't blame me if I get a little confused, it simply must mean it's a talented name :)
Comment as you go if you have time and be sure to add your name to the Inlinkz found below this post or on any of the Belles blogs.
You'll want to make your way to Sue's blog first!!

Family Vacation

2011-10-30T18:00:00.005+11:00

Thanks for stopping by today! We are taking a short family holiday from tomorrow! With a family wedding on Monday and Tuesday being a public holiday - Melbourne Cup - we thought now would be a good time to spend some time with the boys, well two of them anyway. It's a hard thing to get use to that Justin is now working and can't always come with us!!

Shipping will resume on Wednesday the 9th November, but in the meantime there will be a storewide discount of 15%!! This includes already discounted items, so the discount is applied on top of the original discount, which puts many of our discontinued sets at or below cost price!!
Our Blog Hop on Tuesday and regular challenge will still be here so be sure to pop by for a visit and play along :)

Thank you everyone for your continued support of AnnaBelle Stamps :) From playing along with us each week to loving our stamps!!
Hugs,
Andrea

Hi all, just me again :) Sorry I didn't get a chance to do this before the new challenge went up but I wanted to be sure to get around and leave a comment first.
We had a gorgeous batch of male cards to inspire us this week! I know I definitely need a hand when it comes to producing anything other than pretty, and with 4 males in the house you'd wonder why that would be lol! As always it's hard to just pick one, but this weeks $5.00 voucher goes to Michelle with this great CAS card :

Love the colours - can't beat kraft - and distressing is one of my all time favourite techniques! Congrats Michelle! Be sure to email me and I'll get the details of your prize and blinkie code to you!

Here we are once again with our first hop for the month and some fun sharing another of our new sets Dotted Flowers! This set will be discounted by 20% for the next two weeks!!

This is a great set for pulling together a card very quickly, and has so many possiblities!

BREAKING NEWS!

If you haven't been to the shop in awhile we have a couple of surprises that are new! Firstly all 4x4, 6x4 and 6x8 sets have been reduced in price!! and secondly we are now offering FREE standard postage on ALL orders over $75.00!! How amazing is that! Now this works very simply and you don't have to do anything extra, or key in any codes, it's all worked out on the spot!

We can't wait to see what you all come up with this week!! Don't forget to add your link below and follow these simple guidelines :)

About our challenges:

- We post our challenges every Friday at 12:00pm AEST (AEDT during Daylight Savings).

- Each challenge runs for a week, and will close on the Thursday 8.00pm so that we can announce and showcase our weekly winner/s prior to the next challenge.

How To Play Along :

- Copy and save our challenge banner and include it and a link back to the ABS blog in your post.

- Please link directly to your entry not just to your blog.

- Please don't link to postings made prior to the date of our current challenge. All projects submitted must be new.

- A maximum of 7 challenges may be combined including this one.

- You may enter any challenge several times as long as each submission is with a new creation.

- We would love you to use AnnaBelle Stamps and embellishments, but you can play along without using them, it’s all about sharing ideas :)

Hugs everyone,

Andrea
