The Avid Craft Collective Stamp Camp January 2026

The Avid Craft Collective - Julia Quinn, Tracy Held and I - are getting ready for our next online Stamp Camp. This time, we'll not be showcasing a suite but a collection of products that we like from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalogue. 

We've chosen to work with the Gears & Textures bundle, Nature Walk DSP, Textured Metallic Specialty Paper, and Faux Bronze Penatgon embellishments. 

Gears & Textures is an image only set, so we'll be using the Simply Said stamp set for our sentiments this camp. If you don't have it already, you can add it on to your camp order or choose to use another sentiment set you have in your stash.  

When is the Stamp Camp?

We will be going live to present the making of the nine projects on Saturday 24 January at 11 am NZT.

Of course, the presentations will be recorded so that you can rewatch them or watch at your leisure if you can't make it at the live time. 

How many projects will we make?

There will be instructions for nine projects: three fancy folds and six standard cards. 

Each of the three ACC members have created three projects especially for the tutorials. 

How can I participate?

There are three ways to join in the stamp camp. The Ultimate Package and Kit Package are only available to New Zealand residents.

Two Great Reasons to Shop with Joanne and Jan

Hi everyone, 

Exciting news! Welcome to Join in with Joanne and Jan!

My friend Joanne James, aka The Crafty Owl, and I are working together to reward our customers with some extra special perks.

Every two months, Joanne and I will be putting together a set of four tutorials featuring a bundle or suite Simply purchase the suite or bundle from us and we'll email you the tutorials in PDF format for you to make at home. If you already have the suite or bundle, simply purchase something else of equivalent value and we'll email the tutorial package to you.

The four tutorials (two from each of us) will really show you different ways to make the most of your purchase because you'll get the benefit of both our ways of thinking and both our styles. There will be a range of project levels, from casual to avid.  You won't find these projects in any of our other social media platforms. We've designed them just for you - our customers.

In addition to the tutorials, you'll also be offered access to an exclusive private Facebook Group where you'll be able to share your projects, and ask us questions. You'll also find little extras there from us such as extra projects, tips or even the occasional video or Facebook Live. You just never know!

So there you have it. Two great reasons to shop with us: a package of four exclusive designs AND access to a private Facebook Group so you can pick our brains and share your work with us.

We’re kicking off with the Cheerful Daisies bundle from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue. There's a sneak peek of the projects here for you too.

You can shop with me right here if you live in New Zealand.

You can shop with Joanne, The Crafty Owl, if you live in the United Kingdom or those parts of Europe where Stampin' Up! operates.

Here's the Cheerful Daisies bundle. You can look at it in more detail in my online store.

Just purchase the bundle, or one of equivalent value, and we'll send you the tutorial PDF and access to the private Facebook Group. Don't forget to let us know you've purchased. 😀

We're looking forward to meeting up with you in the private Facebook Group. 

Watch out for a new tutorial package at the end of July.
