Wow! What a fantastic day I had yesterday. Stampin' Up! hold regular training events for their Demonstrators and yesterday the UK training event was in Telford, Shropshire. I travelled there with two of my team, my downline Hannah and her downline Nikki. It was their first Stampin' Up! event so I was super excited for them. There were over 300 demonstrators attending which made for a fantastic atmosphere - what can be better than spending the day with people who also love Stampin' Up!?
Swapping is a popular activity at Stampin' Up! events - you make say 30 cards of the same design and exchange them with other demos so you end up with 30 different cards. It is a fabulous way of getting samples showing a range of styles, stamps and techniques. It is also a great way to meet people!
I used the Dress Up Framelits to make my swaps. The little dresses are so cute.
I made card fronts in a range of colours using the Subtles Collection Designer Series Paper Stack - which is your favourite colour?
I received some lovely swaps in exchange which I will share with you this week - thank you to everyone who swapped with me.
We had such an amazing day. The day was jam-packed with presentations by Demonstrators and Stampin' Up! staff, sneak peaks from the the NEW 2013/2014 Annual Catalogue (released on 1 July 2013) - you are going to LOVE it, exciting announcements (and no I can't tell you yet!) and of course some crafting! And, as if that wasn't enough, we were all given a gorgeous free stamp set too.
I love being part of the Stampin' Up! family and in particular the Pinkies Team. I got to catch up with old friends and make new ones. I cannot wait until the next event which is the Stampin' Up! European Convention. This is being held in Manchester in November - two whole days of Stampin' Up! fun and crafting. If you are interesting in coming along too, why not email me for information about becoming a Demonstrator yourself or check the details here. Joining Stampin' Up! really is one of the best things I have ever done!
