Get Ready for Creativity Abounds Celebratory Sips Stamp Camp!

 

It seems like hardly any time at all since our last Stamp Camp but here we are again, getting ready for a weekend of fun with you all! 

If you haven't already caught up with things, our next Stamp Camp is June 28-29 (South Pacific). Our  Featured Product for camp is the Celebratory Sips Suite. All the finer details can be found here. If you live in New Zealand, you can only get your Stamp Camp invitation from me.

As always with our Stamp Camps, you'll get a PDF and Video tutorial for 13 projects. This will be sent to you before camp starts, along with make and take kits (excluding the items you've purchased for camp).

This is the card I've put into the Tutorial Bundle. I hope you'll love making it!

And, as always with Stamp Camps, you'll get an additional 13 projects during the Stamp Camp. Each of us will do a Face Book Live presentation of a bonus project. These are usually fancy affairs with lots of techniques and fancy folds - sometimes both in the one project!

This is a bit of a sneak peek at my bonus project. Folded up, you can't see the hidden extra bits but I'm sure you'll love making this one too. 😀

Here's a sneak peek of all the tutorial projects.

And here's a peek of the whole team and where they're from. 

If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page. 

You can stamp with me, and shop with me, from anywhere in New Zealand. Click here.

Save the date for Stamp Camp!

The next Creativity Abounds Virtual Stamp Camp is happening on June 28-29, so save the date! Even if you can't make it on the exact day, you'll still get access to the Live presentations, as well entry to the exclusive Facebook Group as well as all the tutorials and kits.

This time, the international crew have chosen as the featured products the fun new Celebratory Sips Suite. This suite is an online exclusive and will be available from 6 May.

Introducing Celebratory Sips

This fun suite includes:

• The Cheers & Sips bundle
• Glass and Gardens Embossing folders
• Celebratory Sips 12x12 DSP
• Gold Striped 1cm mesh ribbon
• Holographic Resin Dots

The retail price for this suite is $166.50 (plus postage) in New Zealand. 

(See note below about Stampin' Rewards.)

How do I get a Virtual Stamp Camp Invite?

Simply purchase the featured suite from a demonstrator in your country. In New Zealand, that's me. 

If you live somewhere else and are interested in joining in the Virtual Stamp Camp, message me and I can put you in touch with  the right person in the team to help you. 

What do I get from Stamp Camp?

Aside from the fun of joining in crafting with people from all over the world, the biggest thing you get is INSPIRATION in the form of tutorials and live presentations.

How often have you invested in a suite or bundle, made a handful of things then run out of ideas? That won't happen with Celebratory Sips because this is what Stamp Camp gets you:

1. Make and Takes

In the week before Stamp Camp, you'll receive a tutorial package that will have both PDF and Video instructions for thirteen different projects using the Featured Products.

For these projects, you'll also receive a kit for each project containing all you need for each project (excluding the products you have purchased).

Note: If you cannot pick up the kits, there may be a small charge of $11.50 for posting them out to you, with a rural delivery surcharge if applicable.

    2. Bonus Projects

During the Virtual Stamp Camp, each of our thirteen team members will present as a Facebook Live an additional project, created just for the camp. Cutting instructions will be available for you so you can create these projects if you wish. They will be saved to YouTube so the presentations will be available to you to rewatch at your leisure.

That makes a total of 26 projects for your new suite. Many of the ideas, you'll be able to apply to other things in your craft room - so really, INSPIRATION is what the camp offers you. 

    3. Interaction with people around the world

During the weekend, you'll get the chance to share what you've made to the private Stamp Camp Facebook page. There will be challenges to enter if you want, a Crafternoon Tea where you can chat with the team and lots of chances to share with other crafters.

What do I do if I want to join in?

If you live in New Zealand, simply order the suite from me as soon as it becomes available on 6 May.

Tick the option to allow contact so that I can send you information and the make and take kits before the camp begins. I will contact you to let you know I've got you on the Stamp Camp list and to confirm delivery details for the kits. If you don't hear from me, message me in case something's gone wrong. 😀

You should order it early because sometimes things sell out. You also need to make sure your order has time to arrive before Stamp Camp starts. The last day to get your invite to Stamp Camp from me is 1 June so make sure you've ordered by then.

What if I already have the suite?

If you already have the suite, make an order to the same value through me. Message or email me to let me know that is what you have done so I can add you to the Stamp Camp invite list.

What about Stampin' Up! Rewards?

Please note that while your purchase of the featured Stamp Camp products will earn you Stampin' Rewards (as long as you have opted into the programme) you cannot use already earned rewards to purchase the Celebratory Sips suite. 

Using Stampin' Rewards to purchase the Celebratory Sips suite will indicate that you do not wish to participate in Stamp Camp. Your order can include extra items which you can purchase with your rewards.

You can stamp with me, and shop with me, from anywhere in New Zealand. Click here.

Creativity Abounds Get Ready for Stamp Camp!

 

Exciting times at Creativity Abounds as our next stamp camp draws near! This time, we're featuring the Reindeer Fun bundle. Each of the members of the team have put together one project for the tutorial bundle. We've all done a second project to share with you during Stamp Camp. That's 26 projects in total.

Usually on our monthly hops we give you a sneak peek of the tutorial project (that will still happen) and then we go on to give you a bonus project and tutorial on the same theme. This time we'll  be giving you a look at what the Stamp Camp Live project is going to be. You'll learn how to make it during the Camp.

This is the project I'll be sharing during the Stamp Camp. It's a very sweet fancy fold with a belly band.

And this is the card you'll receive a kit and instructions for in the tutorial bundle.

Here's a peek at the whole tutorial bundle.

Here's all the details about the camp and how you can get your invitation.

Creativity Abounds Winter Meadow

 

I'm excited to be sharing with you today my first projects for the wonderful Creativity Abounds team. I've just joined this crew of keen Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all around the world. Each third Thursday of the month, the team shares a theme or suite to give you ideas or the impetus to try something new. 

As well as just showing you ideas, we also produce a Make and Take Tutorial bundle that will be given as a free gift with an eligible purchase.  

(Make and Take means you'll be sent a kit of the things needed to make the projects minus those items you will already have as part of the suite - like DSP or embellishments.)

Our featured suite this time is the oh-so-pretty Winter Meadow from the September - December Mini.

This month is also one of the three times a year we offer a Virtual Stamp Camp.  When you purchase the Winter Meadow suite, you'll not only get the standard thirteen project Make and Take Bundle but a whole lot of extras. Read on to find out the details.....

But first, here's a sneak peek at the thirteen Make and Take Tutorial bundle projects.

Don't they look exciting? But wait... there's more! 😀

When you purchase the Winter Meadow suite from me, you'll not only get this bundle of thirteen projects but your invitation to the exclusive Face Book group that will host the Virtual Winter Meadow Stamp Camp, where you'll get an extra thirteen projects and video presentations. So a total of 26 projects for you to make! The presentations will be recorded and the private group will remain accessible for you.

Here's a sneak peek of my bonus project - the one I'll be presenting at Stamp Camp.
