I’m excited to share details of two upcoming events.

18 November – All Day Christmas Gifts and Décor Class from 10.00 am to 4.30 pm

This all day class is full of ideas for gifts and décor aimed at Christmas, but which could be replicated for other celebrations such as birthdays, weddings etc.

Each kit will contain at least £50 worth of Stampin’ Up! products, and what you don’t use can be taken home with you.

There will be

  • At least 2 different 3D décor projects – you will need to bring at least one 9” x 9” Deep Box Frame (the Ribba frame from Ikea which costs £3.95 is ideal)
  • Gift Boxes and Bags
  • Gift Cards

The day costs £45.00 and for that you will receive

  • Your kit together with 
  • Instructions for each project. Each project box will contain the instructions and a personal copy will also be emailed to you after the event, in PDF format, for you to print and use at a later date.
  • Tea, coffee, cake and biscuits throughout the day.
  • An Acorn to add to the collection for the Acorn VIP event on 19 May 2018.

You will need to bring a basic craft kit (trimmer, scissors, glue, bone folder etc) together with your lunch and anything else you think you might need such as glasses.

Can’t make the day? Then you have the option to purchase the Class in a Box and all the items in the kit will be mailed to you on 17 November and the instructions will be sent via email on 18 November. I will have punched, die cut and embossed all pieces as necessary, you will simply need to use your own stamps and ink to complete the projects. The Class in a Box costs £45.00 plus £4.00 to cover P&P. If you are able to collect from me then there will be no P&P to add.

Booking for this event and the Class in a Box option closes on 4 November and payment is required by then.

2 December – Christmas Cheer Card Challenge in aid of the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) from 10.00 am to 4.30 pm




You may recall that earlier this year Stampin’ Up! UK challenged it’s demonstrators to make and donate 10,000 cards over 2 events. A Birthday Card and Christmas Card Challenge.

The June Birthday Card challenge ended with over 9000 cards made and donated, so Stampin’ Up! have now upped the anti for us to make and donate 20,000 cards in total.

I am holding an event on 2 December and would like your help in adding at least 300 Christmas Cards to the 707 we made and donated in June. I’m thinking that 300 would be a great target because that would take the total to just over 1,000.

At this all day event you will receive a kit containing at least £50 worth of Stampin’ Up! products, and what you don’t use can be taken home with you.

The kit will contain 40 Notecards and Envelopes, the Merry Mistletoe stamp set, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler ink pads plus other items. If you already have the stamp set and or the inks you can substitute other items to the same value but you will need to bring the stamps and ink with you on the day.

I will have designed 4 different cards and ask you to make 5 of each on the day (so 20 in total) and for these to be donated to RMHC. You will have all the supplies (stamps, ink and notelets etc) to make a further 20 on the day or at home if you run out of time.

The day costs £45.00 and for that you will receive

  • Your kit together with, 
  • Instructions for each project. The instructions will also be emailed to you after the event, in PDF format, for you to print and use at a later date.
  • A light lunch. Please let me know a week in advance if you have any special dietary requirements.
  • Tea, coffee, cake and biscuits throughout the day.
  • An Acorn to add to your collection for the Acorn VIP event on 19 May 2018.

You will need to bring a basic craft kit (trimmer, scissors, glue, bone folder etc) together with anything else you think you might need such as glasses.

Can’t make the day? Then you have the option to purchase the Class in a Box and all the items in the kit will be mailed to you on 30 November and the instructions will be sent via email on 3 December.   The Class in a Box costs £45.00 plus £4.00 to cover P&P. If you are able to collect from me then there will be no P&P to add. You can then send your completed cards direct to Stampin’ Up! UK by 8 December or donate them direct to a RMHC House of your choice.
