Craftyduckydoodah! August Updates

Hello and welcome to August - I know I keep saying this but, this year is flying by so quickly!  The football season is underway again which means I get Saturday afternoons in my craft room again.  As ever, there is lots happening in the world of Stampin' Up! particularly on August the 5th - all the details you need can be found below.

Last Chance to Sale-A-Brate

Stampin' Up! recently announced a fond farewell to our Sale-A-Bration promotions. It only feels right to send it out in style with one last party ... a retirement Sale-A-Bration! 

For one month only, we’ll do something that’s never been done before; we’ll offer some of the 2025 Sale-A-Bration items as Last Chance Products. The party starts on 5th August with the next Last Chance Products refresh.
Items to note: 

• Available Sale-A-Bration items will be sold in the Last Chance Products category and will show a discounted price of the retail value of the item.
  
• As with all Last Chance products, once the inventory is gone the product will be removed from the online store. 

Hurry to get your hands on part of this Stampin’ Up! legacy. The retirement party will end when supplies run out or by 4th September 2025. 

Last Chance Products - update

With the addition of previous Sale-A-Bration items to the Last Chance Products there will also be additional items added too.  A chance to grab some bargains!

Click the image above to go to more online store to see everything that is currently available.  Don't forget to visit again on the 5th August to see lots of new goodies that will be added!

New Kits

Each month Stampin' Up! release two new kits BUT on 5th August there will be three new ones available.  The kits include pre-designed projects that come in a range of project types.  They are perfect for new crafters, busy crafters, or crafters who want quick and easy projects.  The kits also make fabulous gifts and are great for crafting with friends and family.  You can see all of the kits that are currently available HERE with the new kits being added on - you guessed it, the 5th August!

Coffee & Cards

During July we had a lot of fun with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and used it  for three weeks in a row!

This very clever extra wide roll of washi tape has a coordinating stamp and die set.  The rolls lasts and lasts and is such good value.

The week we made these projects it was so hot.  So hot in fact that my ink pads were not very happy at all!   It was a good job our projects only needed minimal stamping!

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 there is a project you particularly want to create and 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.

Workshops

July Workshops saw us creating some stunning projects using the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite.  This little Kimono Girl proved very popular and was deceptively easy to create.

This month we will be using the fabulous Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder.  So many ideas and ways to use this EF!!!

During the workshop you will create 4 cards and there will be lots of extras for you to take home and use for other projects too.  We will be experimenting with lots of different techniques (water colouring, inking, ink blending and embossing).  The workshop Includes the above EF (of course)!!

Date:    Tuesday  26th August

Time:    10:30 - 1pm

Cost:    £39 and includes a 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder (£11.25)

or

Date:    Tuesday 26th August (this is a repeat of the morning workshop)

Time:    7pm - 9:30pm

Cost:     £39 and includes a 3D Sunflower Embossing Folder (£11.25)

I had a bit of a play and have lots of ideas to share with you to inspire your creativity.

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.

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).

McCartney House Ladies

Another busy month with this lovely group of ladies.  I do love my Monday afternoons!

New Catalogue - coming soon!

The September to December Mini Catalogue will soon be with us - I have had a good look at the online pdf and I am very excited!!  Lots of lovely new goodies coming soon.  Demonstrators are able to pre-order new goodies from the 5th August ;) ;)  I will be ordering copies of the catalogues - if you would like one let me know.

If there is anything I can help you with, just let me know.  If you have a special request for a particular project for either Coffee & Cards or a Workshop just let me know too and I will see what I can do.

Have a crafty July!
