Stampin' Up! comes to Ipswich!

On Tuesday evening the Stampin Up! Creative Tour kicked off in little old Ipswich!  It was an amazing night with over fifty demo's from all over East Anglia attending.  We are so used to traveling miles to attend any Stampin' Up! events that it was a real treat for us.  We were the first locations to fill places so fingers crossed that this region maybe consider for future events :-)  

 

I don't want to spoil things for anyone who maybe going to other locations BUT I can tell you that we got to see some fabulous projects!  There were prizes, giveaways and some exciting news about what is coming our way very soon :-)  I also got to see lots of lovely friends that I have made since joining Stampin' Up! 

 

I thought you might like to see some of the amazing swaps I got too :-)

 

I will start with my swaps which were these little containers made from the In Colour Designer Paper Collection.

 

 

 These are from my lovely team - Tina, Angie, Jo and Karen.  Thank you for swapping ladies ...

 

There were some brilliant cards ....

3D projects .....

and lots of Christmas ideas ....

 

The quality of all the swaps were amazing.  

Thank you to everyone who swapped with me.

I am back to share another project from the training evening I co-hosted last week.  This card was designed using the Six Sided Sampler stamp set.

The coordinating Hexagon Punch makes it so simple to create these gorgeous patterns. You can buy the stamp set and punch as a bundle for just £29.25 in clear or £33.50 in wood.  That's a 15% saving!

Here is an enhanced version created by adding a few extra elements.

I have just added two exciting Creative Christmas events to my page.  You can find out more by clicking here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Team Training

On Thursday I spent a brilliant evening with nine other local demonstrators at our "Team Training" evening.   I organise these events along with another local demonstrator Becki at Pennikkity Pots in Ipswich Town centre.  They a brilliant chance for ANY demonstrators local to Ipswich to meet, craft and share projects.  

One of the things I love about these evenings (and most Stampin' Up! events) is that everyone brings along a project to swap with others.  

Here is what I designed to swap with everyone.

These bright and cheery tags are designed around the very pretty 

Gingham Garden Suite.

I love the strips of coordinating Washi Tape along the bottom!  If you haven't tried these yet I would highly recommend them!  At £4.50 for three rolls they are great value for money but also so versatile and extremely easy to use.

The next Team Training evening is on Wednesday 4th December at 19:30 at Pennikkity Pots in Ipswich. These events are open to everyone, including local demos from any team or anyone who is thinking of joining and would like to find out more. If you would like to come along just drop me a quick email at 

creativecraft@btinternet.com

 

I will be back soon with one of the projects I designed for the evening.

Happy Birthday to me!

My poor blog has been very neglected lately so thank you for coming back to visit.  What do you think of the new design?  

After a busy couple of months I took all of July off to spend some time with my boyfriends parents who are visiting us from Australia.  We have had an amazing few weeks showing them around sunny Suffolk.  I can't believe how lovely the weather has been!

It also coincided with my birthday so I thought I would start by sharing some of the gorgeous handmade cards I received from my lovely friends.

My poor picture doesn't show some of the gorgeous shimmer and amazing detail on these cards.  Thank you so much ladies for making the effort to create these and post to me. After a few days way it was lovely to find these on my doorstep.

I will be back with some amazing offers for August!
