Stampin' Up! Regional Training Day Leamington Spa

Yesterday I went to the Stampin' Up! UK Leamington Spa Regional training event with some of my team.  We had a truly fab day, learning lots of new tips, received a stamp set and met up and had fun with lots of old and new friends.  Thank you to everyone who swapped with me.  The swaps were super and I'm looking forward to sharing them with all my lovely customers.  Thanks too, to everyone in my team who has travelled to, or is about to, one of the regional events.  It's just great to share a day with so many like minded folk.

I was honoured to be asked to put together a stand about make and take projects and sharing products that I love for the Share Fair which was part of the days programme.  Four demonstrators each put together a stand based on a given topic to offer tips and advice to the others attending.  This leads me to my first picture above which was my swap card for the day using Stampin' Up! set Bright Blossoms, which is so easy to use and so much versatile.  To make the card above, especially if you are new to stamping, would cost approx £47 (excluding the sentiment) to buy the products and you could make lots of cards with that pack.  You can, if you're not a beginner, upgrade your purchases to make this version below which includes some brights designer paper series, new Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Jelly Bean brads, taffeta ribbon, pearls and the ever popular scallop trim border punch. 

Next stop for all demonstrators is the annual European Convention, which will be held in Mainz, Germany this year.  If you think you'd like to join us for the party then consider buying the Stampin' Up! starter kit which has recently been revamped so that it is 100% customisable and is now only £99.  The kit offers you the choice of upto £130 worth of product and also comes with a business pack worth an additional £45.  If you've already got some Stampin' Up! products this is a perfect way to add complimentary items to broaden your crafting repetoire and during May you will also have the opportunity to accept free registration for Convention in November where you can join us in the celebration of Stampin' Up! 5th Anniversary in Europe.  To find out more about this visit my Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Join for £99 page or contact me on 07717855179 to find out more. 

You have nothing to lose, not even the investment of £99 as you'll have a wonderful new kit full of your choice of products to keep forever!

More soon.

Stampin' Up! Mixed Bunch and Bright Blossoms

Well here I have a couple of cards intended to brighten your day in the midst of all this dreary and cold weather.

 Yellow is the colour theme if you want to take part in this week's Less is more challenge and so here you can see white embossing on daffodil delight cardstock and daffodil delight sentiment from Curly Cute.  You can also add texture to your cards using the Stampin' Up! Simply Scored Scoring Tool  which if you remember from my earlier post is a versatile tool that suits those of you who measure in inches and those who measure in centimetres. 

This card can be achieved if you use the oval of the two designer frames embossing folders on whisper white cardstock.  Use basic black and daffodil delight to ink up a pretty flower and vase from Bright Blossoms and stamp them on whisper white card.  Punch out with the extra large oval punch from Stampin' Up! and adhere the punched shape to your frame centre, having torn around the frame first.  Then you can use a new toy..... Yes Stampin' Up! UK has launched it's own exclusive set of Framelits Dies called the labels collection to add a daffodil  delight frame.  Simples....!  To get these dies or other Stampin' Up! products used just contact me or your own demonstrator.

A bright moment in a grey day! Enjoy your bank holiday whatever the weather!
