January Stamping News

Hello everyone,


What a lovely start of the year we had at our first workshop of 2024: Several ladies came to make a desk calendar with Post-It pad. We used the Crafting with me Stamp set and matching dies. It's made esspecially for crafters with images of tools for all kinds of creative endeavours: knitting, embroidery, painting and of course papercrafts. One of the dies cuts a paper trimmer including the moving blade, it's really fun to use.
While everyone was busy I told them all about the Sale-A-Bration promotion where you can choose FREE products for each £45 you order until the 29th of February, 2024. Anything counts: Online, Catalogues, Clearance Rack and Kits.

There's also an incredible joining offer where you get a Glass Crafting Mat with Palette and Cleaning Cloth as well as £130 of products for only £99. Do get in touch if you'd like to join my Team, I'd love to have you:-)

Next time we're doing something new: Let's Kit Together, on the 17th of February from 13.00 - 15.30. For this workshop you can all pick your own kit(s) from my webshop and then we get together to put them together. I'll be on hand with support, hot drinks and refreshements. There are plenty to choose from at different price points.

The majority of the kits are cardmaking kits and there are two different types:
Assembly only or stamping kits:
The Assembly-only kits have all the ingredients to put together the cards: envelopes, card bases, embellishments, ribbon/twine, adhesive and pre-printed sentiments. All you need is a pair of scissors to cut the twine/ribbon. These kits are a great choice for beginners or to use when you're crafting with young children. *
The stamping kits also include a stamp set, ink cube and stamp block. They're great if you're busy and like to have your design done for you, or you are a beginner stamper. It's great for crafting with friends or bringing with you to a craft group as everything fits into a small box. You just need to bring some scissors and you're good. These kits are also good if you're just starting to build up your craft equipment as it includes re-usable stamps, a stamp block and small (re-fillable) ink cube.

I love both types and kits and have several of both kinds. There are some other craft kits as well:
A Memory Journal with stickers, stamps and more to document a trip or event.
A paper flower wreath to hang up somewhere
A Memo Board with clips and fun pockets. There are 2 new kits added every month so have a look at the kits page to see which one takes your fancy:-) The cost for the workshop is £5 + the cost of your chosen kit. If you order more than one kit you don't need to pay the £5.


To ensure that I have all the kits before the 17th of February you will need to let me know which kit you want by January 31st. Remember that kits also count towards the £45 spend for Sale-A-Bration so you might want to add something extra to make it to £45 and then let me know which FREE item you'd like from the SAB options. You need to order those at the same time, you cannot keep it as credit.

January's Workshop: Desktop Calendar and Post-It note holder

 


Time for a clean slate and starting the year off right! On January 13th we'll be making this desk calendar with Post-It Notes. Isn't it just the cutest? It's on my desk and I can't stop staring at it. And I can't be the only crafter who loves Stationary just as much as crafting supplies so this is the perfect combo!

I've used paper from the Delightfully Eclectic Paper Pack. It's a huge pack of 48 double sided sheets in 12 completely different designs. To match the pack of Soulful Post-It Note blocks I chose this flower pattern and used the Fresh Freesia Cardstock to match and some Misty Moonlight and Crushed Curry for contrast. 

The brilliant crafty die cuts are from the Crafting with You bundle. In this bundle you get dies, stamps and sentiments related to crafting:


A timeless must-have set for any crafter. And now is the perfect time to order this bundle as it is Sale-A-Bration! Which means that for every £45 you spend you can choose a FREE gift from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. So what are you waiting for? Have a look:
