Craftyduckydoodah! January Updates

Hello and welcome to 2025!  I hope everyone had a good Christmas?  So much cooking and eating to do!!

I managed to make a good start on tidying my craft room; I found all sorts of goodies I had forgotten about or lost.  Its still a work in progress but at least I have made a start!

It was good to get back to crafting after taking a break too.  Did anyone get any crafty goodies for Christmas?  

As ever there is such a lot happening in the world of Stampin'  Up! so here is everything you need in one place!

New Mini Catalogue

The brand new January - April Mini Catalogue Launches on the 7th January.  There are 66 pages full of lovely brand new goodies all perfectly coordinated to create an enjoyable crafting experience using fresh, Spring like colours - the perfect antidote to all those Christmas projects!

Sale-A-Bration (SAB) Time!

Starting on the 7th January - 28th February you can earn FREE products when you shop with me!

With every £55 or £110 you spend on Stampin' Up! products you can choose a FREE Sale-A-Bration product from the SAB brochure!  Several of the free items coordinate beautifully with new items from the Mini Catalogue too.  Stampin' Up! are so very good at this sort of thing aren't they?

If you have placed an order with me in the last 6 months I have a copies waiting for you.  If not, there will be a £5 charge for both brochures. If you place a £25+ order directly with me I will reduce the total by £5 for you.

Fabulous Joining Offer!

Joining Stampin' Up! is always a good idea - you get a minimum 20% discount on all your orders BUT, joing during Sale-A-Bration is even better!  I joined during Sale-A-Bration 2015 and would join again this year if I could - the offer is that fabulous!

You get to choose £130 worth of products of your choice from any current catalogue for just £99 and it includes free shipping too.  This is our normal fabulous offer but during SAB you get to choose from two options:

Option 1

£99 - choose £130 worth of products, free delivery, and your choice of TWO marker sets from our Stampin; Write Marker Assortments.  That is an additional £90 value!  PLUS a beautiful stamp set exclusively designed to work with the Stampin' Write Markers!  Which two sets would you choose?

Option 2

£99 choose an additional £30 of FREE products of your choice with free delivery.  £160 worth of products for just £99!  

Seriously good offers, if you were lucky enough to receive some cash for Christmas was a brilliant way to treat yourself to a great bargain!

Important Information!

The fabulous joining offers are only available from the 7th January - 28th February. Option 1 will be very popular!  So, if you are interested, please act as soon as possible to ensure all four options for the Stampin' Write markers are available to avoid disappointment.

If you need further information please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Coffee & Cards

Sessions restart again on the 7th January.  We will be using the Tune In Bundle to create two projects - one of which is a 'wiper' card!

In December we finished off our run of Christmas projects and used an Online Exclusive bundle called Cake Celebrations to create lots of calorie free cakes!

I love this bundle and have so many ideas for projects using it.  It will be making an appearance at C & C again soon!

Sessions take place every Tuesday, 10.30 - 12.30pm in Godmanchester.  The cost is £15 and includes all materials, tuition and light refreshments.  Classes are suitable for all level of crafters from absolute beginners to more advanced crafters.  Keep an eye on my facebook page for further details.  

If you are unable to attend the regular morning session drop me a message as I may be able to offer either an afternoon or evening session for you.

For all classes and workshops please bring basic craft tools with you (bone folder, scissors, paper trimmer etc) if you have them and your preferred adhesives - I have limited supplies available for sale on the day if you forget or run out.

Classes take place at my home in Godmanchester unless otherwise stated.

January Workshops

We will be using the Brand new Floral Delight suite of products this month.  The cheerful colours and designs in this suite are inspired by nature - Springtime, sunshine, forsythia, flowers and honey bees.

We will be making a clever card folio from a single sheet of DSP with no cutting or gluing!  We will also be decorating four note cards and envelopes.  Our project would make a lovely gift for someone special (if you can bear to part with it)!

Full payment is the only way to guarantee your place as regretfully, I have been let down in the past saving places for people who have not attended.

Sorry, no refunds unless I cancel the event. If for any reason you are unable to attend, I will do my best to find someone else to take your place but can't guarantee to do so. If not, your workshop kit will be available for collection after the event (kit will include basic supplies but no stamped images as per SU rules).

Thank you so much for looking at my Blog today, if you don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and you live in the UK, I would love to be yours!
