{Stampin Up Onstage Birmingham 2018 Part 1}

Hi there! Thank you for stopping by.  Last weekend I was in Birmingham with a ton of other demonstrators, some from as far as Australia!  We were inspired by presentations and new products.

As we were celebrating 30 years of Stampin' Up! the people at our table went with a pearl theme, so we all wore black, white or grey and pearls.

The reason I'm holding a picture of someone, is because they had gone to Orlando for the bigger event Stampin' Up! organised.

As my sister and I love dressing up we took the theme a bit further and ended up looking like flapper girls! Here we are posing with our new stamps!

It was lovely to meet up with other demos who we are getting to know.

and have a bit of a laugh!

Here is a video of all the gifts we got from Stampin' Up! and the gifts and swaps from other demonstrators.

Look out for another blog post with all the pictures I took of new products.

{Share what you love bundle}

I love getting sneak peeks and previews of new products, it's so exciting to see what lovely new items can inspire my next stage of creativity.

Next month we will be welcoming a whole new catalogue.  However, in celebration of Stampin Up's 30th year... yes I said 30! They have created a beautiful suite of products that has been created with demonstrators to reflect the celebration and the needs of paper crafters.  Even better you can get your hands on it now.

There are 3 different bundles available with additional FREE gifts thrown in, rather than have me bore you with a lengthy description, here is a video Stampin' Up! have created so you can view it in all its glory.

Do you love it?

If yes, then it's worth remembering that when you sign up you only spend £99 and it includes postage, and you can choose £130 of product... and you get a discount off future purchases!

Here is a card I made with the new in colours, which you can add to your starter kit if you join this month, contact me for more information about the sneak peek items that are available.

{40th Birthday card}

Had the pleasure of making this for a friend of mine last week.

For any of you who love Stampin' Up! products there's only a couple of days left to benefit from all the fab offers on at the moment.

The best one (in my opinion) is to sign up and get up to £61 of free products!

For £99 you can choose £160 Stampin' Up! goodies.  Please contact me asap for a no pressure chat about what it would involve.

Used up some retired paper for the flowers.  The background was embossed with the Fluttering embossing folder, then I used a sponge dabbed with in the white Craft Ink.
