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!

Hi! So my good thoughts about blogging more often went rapidly by the way side!!
But i’m here now and want to show you what I and the Coffee and a Card group have been upto. This is from this week.
I’ve decided to concentrate on specific stamp sets and suites each week and I’m gonna pop more regular pictures on my facebook page using the same stamp set to hopefully give you inspiration. I will also give you pictorial images linked to my shop which will hopefully make it easier for you to see what I’ve used.

As with many of Stampin Up! products, you save 10% by buying as a bundle – Rooted in Nature stamp set and Natures Root Framelit Dies.
The first two cards are the same layout, using the same stamp set, but different Designer Series Papers. I love the autumnal colours, and ever card turns out different. The tree was coloured with Stampin Write Markers, huffed on (to re activate the ink) and then stamped.
Product List
The second card using Rooted in Nature stamp set was an adaptation from a card by Debra Simonis which I found on Pinterest. I used her card but added twine and an embellishment from the Natures Poem suite.

Product List
Watch out for more from me very soon.
Happy crafting xx
