Whenever we go to a Stampin’ Up! event we have an amazing time, we see and learn new things, watch and participate in crafting and business demonstrations, we get to make things, laugh, chat, cry, eat too much and basically have a lot of fun with the most fantastic people, other Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.

As well as all those feel good factors we do get ‘stuff’ too…… Now last week was no exception and for the first time we got the NEW 2016-2017 catalogue, yes indeed I have written on it already…..I need everyone to know it belongs to me!!!!

I can’t show you the inside but the cover looks pretty amazing!

Stampin’ Up! also spoilt us with lots and lots of goodies, this is what I got to take home with me!

These are the make and takes, 3 cards and a colour chart for the new in-colours, the first card is a shaker card, we have new foam tape and layering Framelits to make shaker cards really easy.  New embossing folders are the star of the show on the middle card and the card on the right is part of a brand new kit, perfect for new crafters, it’s fabulous.

So do you like the new colours?

3 brand NEW stamp sets, the bear is amazing, 3 layers and the detail is fantastic.

All demonstrators who hold the title Silver Elite or above get to attend a special training session and dinner the night before onstage.  It was great to have some specialised leadership training and the dinner was yummy, but the gift was AWESOME !  I’m so all about the bags……. but this one is perfect for me, the right colours right size, it’s a rucsac too, and WOW look at the inside, amazingly thoughtful gift, thank you Stampin’ Up!

If onstage seems like the type of event you would like to attend, you can, the next one is November 5th in Telford, it’s a demonstrator only event but is open to all demonstrators, ask me for more information about how you can join my amazing team.

I have lots more things to show you over the next few days including some new samples, so pop back soon.
