Craftyduckydoodah! January 2026 Updates

Hello and welcome to 2026!

I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays?  I did lots of cooking and eating!!  I did attempt to tidy my craft room too.  I did start but then I was distracted by new goodies.  I have resolved to tidy a small area each week - we shall see how that goes!  

As ever, there is a lot happening at Craftyducky HQ; classes, workshops, new catalogue, Bonus Day are back (hurrah) and more!  Here are all the details you need in one place.

Bonus Days

Bonus days are a way of earning coupon codes in January to spend in February. It's a £4.50 coupon for every £45 you spend. And don’t forget - each purchase earns you Stampin’ Rewards, so that’s even more value for money! 

There is no limit to how many coupons you can earn!  You will receive and email with a coupon code, please make sure you keep them safe so that you can use them in February.

New Catalogue

Its here!  The January to April 2026 Mini Catalogue - 75 pages for of lovely new and exciting goodies.  I have been playing with some of the already.  The ladies who attended my last workshop of 2025 also had a little play!  I am looking forward to sharing lots of ideas and inspiration with everyone.  If you have not got a copy yet let me know asap.

New Online Exclusives

January sees the latest launch of Online Exclusive products.  I have been playing with a fabulous bundle called Fragrant Layers - we used it in December for the last workshop of the year too.

Another bundle that has hopped into my basket is the Lovely Arrangements bundle.

It is part of a new suite called Lovely Blossoms suite.  I love the fresh colours in the DSP - just what is needed post Christmas.  I mentioned above that the bundle had popped into my shopping basket and somehow, so have the rest of the items in the suite!  

You can see all the other exciting Online Exclusive products HERE.

Coffee & Cards

Sessions start again on the 6th January.  We will be using a brand new stamp and die bundle called Gears & Textures to create two male themed projects.

I had a lot of fun playing with this bundle over the holidays - I needed a card for a party we are going to at the beginning of January.  Here is a sneaky peak at one of the projects we will be making.

We will be stamping, die cutting (lots) and heat embossing with copper powder so, we are going to be busy!

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

Our last workshop of 2025 used what I think is set to be one of my all time favourite bundles - Fragrant Layers.  Its an Online Exclusive product that you will only find in my online store.  We created two lovely cards and a coordinating gift box.  The workshop was so popular I had to run it twice!

I have so many ideas for using this lovely bundle.  It will also feature in an upcoming C & C session on the 13th January.  

Our workshop for January will feature the Cute As A Bug Suite of products. 

My January Workshop projects are a work in progress at the moment.  I will post details shortly, I have not caught up with 2026 yet!  It is looking like we will be making 3 projects, 2 of which will be fancy fold cards.  I will post details on my Craftyducky Facebook page as soon as possible.

When:   

Tuesday 27th January 10:30 am - 1pm

Cost:      

£34 and will include a full pack of the fabulous Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (£7.50), all materials, tuition and light refreshments.

OR 

When:    

Wednesday 28th January 7pm - 9:30pm (please note this is a repeat of the Tuesday morning class).

Cost:      

£34 and will include a full pack of the fabulous Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (£7.50), all materials, tuition and light refreshments. 

How cute as these Ladybug Epoxy Shapes?  I have already used a full sheet of them so will need to reorder asap!

They proved to be the perfect finishing touch to two of our workshop projects in December.

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).

Wishing all my crafty friends both near and far a very crafty, happy and healthy 2026!
