Pop up Santa and friends

Hi all,

Just had another awesome Coffee and a Card at The Mallard, Westwood Lakes.  I appreciate that the times are not great (now moved to 12 til 1), due to being over lunch time, but I’m sure those who are starving after can either indulge in some gorgeous cake at the Mallard or grab lunch in the Fishermans Rest cafe!

Todays make was a special request, and it was far more involved than I would normally do for Coffee and a Card, but everyone one did a fabulous job and took home a beautiful pop up Santa card.

 

 

Product List

The Dsp used was a couple of years old and although there are some gorgeous DSP this year, I wanted the small print whimsical type papers.  There is paper to match the Santas Workshop Suite but I dont have it….Yes you read correct…there is something Stampin Up that I don’t have!!!

Dont forget the Black Friday Sale is still on until Wednesday 28th November, so get your orders in quick so you dont miss out.

Happy Crafting xx

Swaps & Makes

As promised here are the Make and Take cards/ 3D items we made at Onstage.  They are all using brand new products which will be available from Jan 3rd 2019 in the Spring/ Summer catalogue.  If you are not currently a customer and would like a copy of the new Catalogue or even a copy of the annual catalogue, please drop me a line and I will mail one to you (as long as you are in the UK).

During the run up to the event, I was busy making Swaps to exchange with the 15 people within the team that I am part of…The Tantalizing Stampers.

Many of us had logo’d t-shirts made and it was lovely to meet people from our ‘team’, many of whom had only been a name in the past, so to put a face to the name was great.  And we all had the chance to sit near each other too.

Any how….this is my swap I made;

Swap Nov 18

 

And these are the swaps I received;

That’s all for now folks, but I hope you get a little inspiration for your card making from these.  I’m off to play with my new stamp sets to share with you, ready for the catalogue launches.

Goodies

Celebrating 30 years of Stampin’ Up! was amazing.  Lots of give aways, swaps and meeting up with so many like minded people was fab.

 

Wonderfully colourful grid paper that I wish was available all the time… its smaller than the normal white stuff and so much prettier

 

Before I even got to registration I won a prize…just by answering a simple question on where Stampin’ Up! originated  (Las Vegas in case you were wondering!)

Won these on way in!

Lots of talented people sharing how they sell and build their business , you return home a little overwhelmed but so full of good ideas.  Just hope I can put just a few of them into practice!

And then during the day more prizes…a tool case, and a foldable holdall!

 

And of course there was prize patrol, where if your badge number was called, you won a Stamp Set.

All in all I came home with 4 more Stamp Sets than I went with and all these other goodies too…definitely a good day out!

Look out for my next blog post, showing the Make and Takes from the day and also all the card swaps from the lovely people who are part of Zoe’s team (my Team leader within SU)

Onstage,

No, I’ve not been ‘on stage’, but that is what Stampin’ Up! Call there twice yearly convention for demonstrators, and that’s where I’ve been this weekend.

Around 550 demonstrators gathered at the Vox conference centre in Birmingham to celebrate 30years of Stampin’ Up! We got a sneak peak of the spring /summer catalogue as well as the sale-a-bration catalogue….both available from January 3rd.

We got to play with some of the products and had some awesome demonstrations by some very talented people.

Look out in the next couple of days for some of the things we did and I will also post photos of the team swaps we did among our group,all made with current products available right now!
