Craftyduckydoodah! October Updates

Hello and welcome to October - how on earth did this happen already?  This year is whizzing by so quickly!  However it is also my favourite time of the year too - there is nothing better than a good 'swish' through crisp, colourful leaves on a bright and sunny day!

It is certainly getting a little chilly here in Cambridgeshire and the nights are getting darker earlier.  Time for socks, boots and warming casseroles I think!

As ever, there is a lot happening in the world of SU so here are all the details in one place.

Time to stock up on supplies for Christmas crafting to take advantage of free delivery!  One day only, Tuesday 4th October for orders £60+.

Order online for delivery direct to your door and save £6.95!

If you prefer, I will be placing an order myself so you could piggyback my order and just collect from me.

It's always a good time to join Stampin' Up! but, during October it is an even better time!  For just £99 you get to choose £154 worth of your choice of products and you get free delivery too!  You will also have lots of fun being part of Stampin' Up! and my growing team of ducklings.  You don't have to place further orders or send anything back but, you will receive a minimum of 20% on future orders!  You can find more details HERE or, if you prefer contact me for a no obligation chat - we would love you to join us!

Last few places available for this popular annual event.  Contact me asap to reserve your places.  I will be ordering supplies on the 4th October to take advantage of the free delivery!

Coffee & Cards

Sessions continue to be popular - different projects every week, sometimes it will be a fun fold card or a 3d item or even a new technique.  Full details can be found on my facebook page .  Places are limited so please let me know you would like to come asap to avoid disappointment.

Here are a few snapshots of some of the projects we made during September.  We made a few Christmas projects, a stand up gift box and a pop out gatefold card.

This week for Coffee & Cards we will be creating a One Sheet Wonder (OSW).  We will make two cards and there will be leftover panels for you to take home to use later.  There will even be a chance to share what you do with your left over OSW panels and a chance to win a little prize!  OSW's are a lot of fun and they are also a quick way to create multiple projects - a huge bonus in the run up to Christmas and for those like me, who leave everything until the last minute!

Workshops

This month we will be using the Snowman Magic bundle to create two cards and a 3d item.  You will be able to customise your projects with your preferred sentiments and also dress up the snowman with different accessories.

Friday 28th October 7 - 9pm (Godmanchester)

Saturday 29th October 2 - 4 pm (Godmanchester)

Cost: £18 - includes all materials, light refreshments and a battery operated tealight.

Details of all upcoming events can be found on my facebook page HERE.  Regrettably, full payment in advance is the only way to secure your place as I have been let down in the past.

You will need to bring a basic tool kit, a paper trimmer and your preferred adhesives with you to classes and workshops.  A limited supply of adhesives will be available to purchase if you run out or forget!

New Kits

This month we have not one but two new kits to choose from.

The Birthday Card Organiser Kit has everything you need to plan ahead and never forget another birthday again!  Available from the 4th October, cost £24.  Wouldn't this make a fabulous gift?  I will be offering this kit as part of a workshop in the run up to Christmas so keep an eye out for details!

The kit includes:

• one 8" x 10" monthly planner with space to record birthdays each month as well as a pocket sleeve to hold birthday cards
• 12 full sized birthday cards, 6 of 2 designs with coordinating envelopes
• Glue dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Adhesive Backed Embellishments and, Tear & Tape Adhesive
• Die cut floral pieces ready for you to use - no prep work required!
• Sticker sentiments and die cut labels in English, French, German and Dutch

The Christmas Gifting Kit is a simple solution to gift cards and tags.  Available from the 4th October, cost £20.  No matter how hard I try I never seem to have enough gift tags so this kit is perfect for me!

The kit includes:

• 9 tags and 9 gift card holders - 3 each of 3 designs
• The exclusive Christmas Gifting Stamp Set and a Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin' Spot

The gift cards are sized to fit a standard sized gift card.

The stamp set will be one you will reach for every year!

World Card Making Day 2022

If you missed this free event yesterday, here is a LINK to the recording.  Grab a cuppa and enjoy - it doesn't matter if you don't have the featured stamp sets, just grab something similar and craft along!  The link is available until 18th October.

In other news, we are supposed to be finally getting our defective kitchen sorted this month!  I am not getting too excited though as the whole thing will have to come out in stages and be replaced!

Wish me luck!

Have a good month and, if there is anything I can help you with just give me a shout.
