img_7393 I revisited a favourite craft project of mine last night with an amazing group of women. I showed them how to make an advent calendar peg board. I didn’t finish mine (and forgot to take photos last night of the other boards) so I don’t have a pic of a completed board but you can see one I made a few years ago on this blog post: Christmas Countdown

Their boards each had an individual style that reflected who they are. I love that about craft; you can make it whatever you want it to be

 


Some of you may already know, but others may not, that I am a demonstrator for Stampin’ Up! I first saw their products over 8 years ago and fell in love straight away. I joined up and have enjoyed being part of a company that is so creative and offers high quality products.

As a demonstrator I sell Stampin’ Up! products (stamps, inks, card, patterned papers and embellishments) but it is much more than that. What I love the most is helping others find their creative side and learn how easy it is to make their own papercraft projects.

If you want to learn more, I can travel to you and set up an in home workshop with your friends where you can try before you buy. This is a great introduction to Stampin’ Up! and the beautiful products available. Another option is to attend a class run by me. If you want to make something in particular, I can make that happen.

The annual catalogue is jam packed with amazing products to keep you going all year and you make purchases from it until the end of May 2017, when they release the new annual catalogue.

To add a little extra to the Stampin’ Up! collection, they release two smaller catalogues during the year. The Holiday Catalogue contains more fun products that will help make the holidays more personal by adding that handmade touch. This Holiday Catalogue is available until 3rd January 2017.

View the catalogues online at Stampin’ Up! or you can receive a free catalogue when you host an in home workshop. If you’ve already been enjoying Stampin’ Up! products (or just starting out) and want to add to your collection, you can contact me at becreactivewithamy@me.com or you can also place online orders through the website, make sure to choose me as your demonstrator :).


In the time that I have been missing in action here on my blog, I’ve been busy as a mum, homemaker, wife and business owner over at Henry’s House. with so much going on I haven’t had much time to make cards and just be creative.

Although my crafty side took a back seat I still had the odd occasion where I pulled out my supplies and got creative. Here are a couple of cards that I made during my break from the blogging world.

Recently I’ve organsied  a Series of Christmas Craft classes for a group of ladies and it has felt so nice to get back into it. I didn’t realise how much I had been missing it. It has really got me excited again to spend the time creating new thinges to share with all of you. So stay tuned to see what I have for you next.

Almost Gone!

27Jun14

Oh, my!  Where have I been over the last month?  There are only 3 days left to order from the Stampin’ Up! annual catalogue and the occasions catalogue.  How could I have left it until now to let you all know?

If you have been eyeing off some of the goodness in these catalogues don’t do what I have just done and leave it until the last minute.  Contact me and place your order now.

To make it easier to know what will soon be gone, Stampin’ Up! have compiled a list of retiring stamps and retiring accessories. Not only have they listed them for you, they have also given some a HUGE discount.  These retiring products are only available until 30th June so please, let me know ASAP if you need anything.

The end of June brings the end of the current catalogue and also the seasonal catalogue.  It will be sad to see them go but I’m excited for the new catalogue and the many wonderful new products inside.  I’ve had a look and I know you’ll love it!

But if you are still in love with the items in the current catalogues, like I am, then you will need to make sure you purchase those stamps, papers, ribbons and more before they are no longer available.  There is the retiring products  – stamp sets list and retiring products – accessories list to look at as well as the seasonal catalogue.

Please contact me ASAP to place your order before 30th June.
