Stampin' Up! gift vouchers

Are you ready for the big day yet?! Me neither! I've finished my shopping now but have a LOT of wrapping to do! I've been busy making these lovely gift vouchers for my customers... do you want one too?

They are vouchers to spend in the beautiful Stampin' Up! catalogue available in any denomination, and also vouchers for my craft classes - a gift experience I know many of you love!

I've decorated a pretty pouch for the gift vouchers too to make them a little more exciting. It's not too late to order gift vouchers from me, they can be emailed (without the pretty pouch i'm afraid!) but great gifts to order if you still have some shopping to do.

I still have so much to share with you but the combination of being ill and lots of snow has sent me a bit off edge! I still have my Christmas Craft Day to share with you and also last week's canvas decorating class now too, I will catch up with those posts over the holidays. But for now, some last minute inspiration for those of you still to make Christmas cards - I have one special one to make.

These are made using the Christmas Jingle kit, a really gorgeous kit of lovely festive colours but with a modern twist. A definite must have for those of you who get ahead early for next year - this kit is in the catalogue again so will be available until next September!

This is one of my favourite sentiments in the kit, this and another family saying. I'll share more with you and if you've already made your Christmas cards, you can adapt the other Simply Scrappin' kits for another theme.

I hope you get your shopping all finished soon!

This is one of the cards from my Christmas craft day and again is made using the 'Christmas Jingle' kit from the Stampin' Up! catalogue. It is simple just using the die cut stickers and arranging them on the card blanks. I really love the effect!

The Simply Scrappin' Kits from the catalogue are really good value as you get six sheets of 12 x 12 double sided patterned papers, six sheets of die cut stickers and eight sheets of 12 x 12 textured cardstock and it all matches perfectly, so whether its cardmaking or scrapbooking, you can make tons from each kit. I'll be using more of these kits in my future classes as I just love them!

Here is one of many Christmas cards I have made this year from the 'Christmas Jingle' kit from the Stampin' Up! catalogue. It uses the die cut stickers arranged in a square, with the middle of two of them raised with a foam pad. You can see that one has gone slightly on the wonk in this photo - I'll be adjusting that before I send it out! Then its some simple Old Olive ribbon from the catalogue and that's done. I'll be sharing lots more from my Christmas craft day - I didn't share photos of the day in the end did I? We had a great day, 11 of us making lots of festive items. I'll share more another day - my canvas making class is coming up this Saturday too!

Ornament Gift Tag

What I love about making gift tags is that they are really just super quick mini cards! This lovely brown and green combo is very festive and uses the lovely ornament stamp set, isn't it lovely? The matching punch that goes with it makes it so super quick and easy to use, as it usually is with Stampin' Up as they coordinate everything for you!

Craft Class Gift Vouchers

Craft Class Gift Vouchers

If you are looking for something different this year, why not buy your friends a craft class experience gift voucher this year? You know you'll be buying a gift they will love, and they will enjoy spending it! If you'd like to receive one yourself, your family and friends can buy them from me too. They are available in a suggested denomination of £15.00 (this is likely to cover the cost of a general class but prices do vary - any difference can be paid later) or contact me for an alternative amount you require. You will receive your gift vouchers in a beautifully decorated envelope and they are valid for six months. Buy vouchers from the links on the right hand side of this blog.

Gift Vouchers for Stampin' Up! goodies

Last year, before I was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I received lots of Stampin' Up! craft goodies for Christmas by using another demonstrator's wish list service and they were some of my favourite presents! I couldn't wait to start using my new stamps, inks and papers. If you know others who love crafting as much as me, you can buy them Stampin' Up! gift vouchers for Christmas to spend in the Stampin' Up! catalogue, or ask for them for yourself by forwarding the link to this message as a hint! Vouchers are valid for six months. Buy vouchers from the link to the right and view the catalogue there too.

Christmas Wish List Service

If you'd rather have Stampin' Up! presents to open on the big day (like me!) then don't forget you can submit your craft wish list to me of everything you'd like from the Stampin' Up! catalogue - then simply forward my details to your family and friends to get in contact with me. I will arrange for them to buy goodies to their required amount, and you will have lovely SU goodies to open at Christmas! Orders must be submitted ideally by Monday 6th December 2010 to be received in time.

Places left on my canvas craft class

Finally - I have takers for my canvas decorating class on Saturday 11th December so you still have time to book your place if you would like to come along and decorate a canvas to give as a present.

We will be decorating a 12 x 12inch square canvas which can hang on the wall, using your personal photographs. (Please note the photograph is an example only and is not the canvas we will be making in the class).

When: Saturday December 11th
Where: My house
Time: 2.30pm - 5pm Canvas Gift Class
Price: £15 per person

If you like the sound of receiving any of the above, forward the link to this message to your family and friends today. I'd still love Stampin' Up! gifts for Christmas and I'm a demonstrator!

Crafty Christmas Wish List service

Hi everyone!

It’s time to tell you about my Christmas Wish List service to you! The perfect way to let your friends and family buy you presents from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue that they know you will love!



It simply works like this:

You take a longing look through the gorgeous catalogue and make yourself a wish list – if you are anything like me, that’s going to be most of what is in there! You email me your wish list as your Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and I keep hold of that. You can then pass this email onto your friends and family and they tell me how much they would like to spend on a present for you and voila! There you have it. I order the gift items and ensure you/they receive nicely coordinated items from your list, which I will wrap and send to the person who has purchased it for you, ready for Christmas. Hassle-free shopping for them, and presents to adore for you!

You can purchase the Stampin’ Up! catalogues from me for £4.95 to keep – believe me, they are well worth the investment as have such wonderful ideas in them, or I can lend you one to choose your items from.

Here’s the simple version:
1) Crafter emails me their wish list from the Stampin’ Up! catalogue

2) Crafter forwards this email to family and friends
3) Family and friends contact me via email address (or contact me for my phone number) to arrange order and discuss payment method
4) When payment has been received, I order the items, wrap them and pass them on to the buyer.

Please note payment to cover postage may be required.

It’s really that simple! Let me know if you have any questions – I will await your lovely orders,

Best wishes

Jenny

Would you like to give a handmade present this Christmas?

Hi everyone,

I’m getting ready for my big Christmas Craft Day tomorrow and I know lots of you who are coming are very excited! For those of you who can’t make it, (and also those of you who can!), I’m now taking bookings for my next classes on Saturday December 11th.

(Please note the photograph is an example only and is not the canvas we will be making in the class).


Would you like to give a handmade present this Christmas? We will be decorating a large 12 x 12inch square canvas which can hang on the wall - they make lovely gifts when you use personal photographs. This class is in the afternoon and I will also be running a cardmaking class in the morning. You can book a place on both of these classes to make a day of crafting, or you can choose to come to the canvas class or the cardmaking class separately.

You have two weeks left to book your place on this class – bookings will close on Sunday 28th November to allow me to order the kits in. As this is so close to Christmas, I will only run this either of these classes if there are enough takers but it is the perfect chance to bag yourself one of those ‘special’
Details:

When: Saturday December 11th
Where: Gidea Park
Time: 11am -1.30pm Cardmaking - £15
Time: 2.30pm - 5pm Canvas Gift Class £15
Come to both classes for the day - £30

Canvases are a beautiful way of displaying your photographs and make a perfect gift, or to hang in your hallway if you can't bear to part with it! We will be making a 12x12" square canvas each in this class using your own photograph.

To book your place email me today!
