What a big month May is with lots of events, the lead in to the release of the new catalogue on 1 June, as well completely revamping my craft room in preparation for all the new exciting products. If you would like a copy of the new catalogue, don’t forget to contact me to reserve your FREE copy (conditions apply). I still have some vacancies for this weekend’s classes. Both creative classes feature the gorgeous Petal Passion Suite, one of the most popular from the Occasions Catalogue. I love that the Petal Palette stamp set and framelits are carrying over into the new catalogue.

Time is also running out to reserve your spot at this year’s Crafty Paper Bees Winter Retreat.

26 May 2018 Saturday Crafty Paper Bees Great Craft Destash

Time: 9-1pm Cost FREE Location: my studio workshop, Salisbury QLD Required: basic kit#

I have been a paper crafter for nearly thirty years and therefore I have quite a stash of quality craft products. And so it is time for me to clear out my craft room to make room for some fabulous new Stampin’ Up! products from the new Annual Catalogue. On sale will be retired stamp sets, punches, cardstock, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, framelits, embossing folders and tools.

Some non-Stampin’ Up! products might sneak into the sale. I will have a separate area for handmade cards, current kits, and projects for sale. New catalogues will be available also.

Now I want this to be a win-win event. So there is a BOGO (buy one, get one FREE) option. Or you can purchase the retired items individually – it is up to but I am not sure how you will be able to resist all the new products about to be released.

There will also be a lucky door prize, prize patrols and a free make and take.
