Holiday 2017 Catalogue Stamp Camp Recap

Monday, October 23, 2017

I held my annual Holiday Stamp Camp yesterday, it was a fabulous day! Forty-six women took the time out of their day to enjoy an afternoon of stamping, learning techniques, eating, and of course, socializing! At my Stamp Camps, everyone gets to make 10 different cards that I design,
using product from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue, they also get a swag bag of free Stampin' Up! product, some of which they use to embellish their cards.

Check out all the lovely cards we made:

Of the 10 cards, there were definitely some fan favourites...here are some close ups 



This card using the Smitten Mittens stamp set and Many Mittens Framelits took the longest to make, but was definitely a fave among many, including me! I love the colours and that cable knit texture is swoon worthy, isn't it?


We had some fantastic technique demonstrations by two very talented ladies, who also created beautiful displays. Can't wait to try the new things we learned, they made it look so easy!


The stamping portion of the day is always so fun to watch! It's heartwarming to witness women chatting, getting to know each other or reconnecting while they craft. They work together like little teams, taking turns to emboss at the Big Shot, tying bows for each other and just helping each other out. 






I always cater yummy Greek food, for Stamp Camp, it's something people seem to look forward to and quite frankly, I could eat Greek food any day of the week - I could eat tzatziki by the bucket, truth be told. For dessert, my lovely friend Jenny Lee offered to bake cupcakes for everyone, they were beautiful and delicious! Jenny is a woman of many talents, one of which is baking. You can check out some of her beautiful creations on Instagram here. Check out our spread of food:



One of the other aspects of Stamp Camp that people seem to really love are the PRIZES! I ordered over $400 in prizes - all brand new Stampin' Up! product, including the Big Shot! We had some very happy ladies, who went home with some extra loot 



And here's our lucky Big Shot winner, Brenda!


So much more I could share about how wonderful Stamp Camp is, but this is already feels like the longest post EVER. My heart is full, I love every moment of spending the day crafting with and serving these incredible women. 

My next Stamp Camp will be held on Sunday, January 21st, 2018 - it's already more than half full! We'll be playing with product from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini and Saleabration Catalogues - CAN'T WAIT! If you're in the Toronto area and would like more information or to register, click here

Thanks for visiting, have a fabulous day!

Love,
Zahra
