5 Reasons You Should Buy The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Today

Getting myself the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit has been one of the best decisions I have ever made so for this Week's Find Out About Friday I thought I would share my top 5 reasons why YOU should buy one too.
5 Reasons You Should Buy The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Today - Get Yours Here
1. You get a fantastic discount - and not just in the starter kit.

When you purchase a starter kit you pay £99 and you can choose any products you want up to the value of £130, and you don't pay post and packing - that saves you £35.95 straight away.  If you purchase your kit before the end of the month you can also choose any of the kits from the spring summer catalogue or any two Sale-a-Bration items adding about another £20 worth of product, possibly more depending on your choices.  So that is at least £55 you have saved!

But that is not the end of the deal ... You get a whopping 30% off your first order and then at least 20% off all future orders.

On top of the discounts you will also get lots of other benefits - free products, an exclusive magasine full of inspiration from Stampin' Up!, access to exclusive web forums where you will get even more ideas and inspiration, exclusive events and much much more.

Should you decide its not for you there are no catches and nothing to repay. 
5 Reasons You Should Buy The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Today - Get Yours Here
2. You will make some amazing friends

I think crafters are the best people and the ones I have met through Stampin' Up! are the best of the best!  The friends I have made are from all walks of life, they range in age from just out of school to those who retired a while ago and they come from all over the world.  I now count them as some of my best friends and I never expected to meet such amazing people just because I wanted to get my crafting goodies cheaper!
5 Reasons You Should Buy The Stampin' Up! Starter Kit Today - Get Yours Here
3. You will be getting high quality coordinating craft products

The quality of the goodies you get from Stampin' Up! is second to none and they are a company who really stand behind the quality of their products.  This means I can use them with confidence and when my friends buy them through me they are going to have a great experience too.

4. You can make money

Yes really - just by crafting and by sharing that with your friends you can make money, and you can do this around your family, work and other commitments  The amount you make will depend on how much effort you put in but you could make enough to pay for your crafting goodies, or to pay for an after school class for the kids, or to pay for a second car, or to be a full time income - it is entirely up to you.

Sheltering Tree Note Card and Variation

Do stamp sets ever surprise you?  They do me!  I resisted and resisted the stamp set I used on today's cards, saw it in the catalogue and it just did nothing for me.  Eeek did I say that out loud?  Then I went to Orlando and lot of people used it on swaps and I started to fall in love.  When I came home I resisted some more - I had all my lovely new stamps to play with but this set just nagged away, so I ordered it.  Then it sat uninked for a while, I just was not sure what to do with it.  Then I needed a thinking of you card and reached for it. 
Sheltering Tree Note Card and Variations - Check them out here
Once I inked Sheltering Tree I just could not stop!  4 cards latter ...
Sheltering Tree Note Card and Variations - Check them out here
I am totally in love.

Gratitude Journal with Washi Tape

On Saturday I shared a Project Life Album I am using to journal a Happiness Challenge that was inspired by a lovely friend.  This friend has inspired me in so many ways and I really wanted to send something to say thank you.  The project I am sharing today is a gratitude journal I made for her.
Gratitude Journal with Washi Tape. Check it our here
The Large Kraft Notebook is decorated with Washi Tape and a butterfly cut from the Butterfly Thilits Die.  The letters are from the Project Life Seasonal Snapshot Accessory Pack.

I am so grateful for inspiring friends.  What are you grateful for today?

Find Out About Friday - What Kind of Card Making Classes Do You Offer

Something I have been asked about a lot over the last couple of weeks is the kind of card making classes that I offer and I realised that it had been a while since I talked about them all in one place so I thought today I would put this right.  I hope that this will help you pick the classes that are right for you by explaining the differences.

There are three things that all the classes have in common
1. They are a lot of fun
2. They need to be booked at least a week in advance - just email bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk 
3. You will always have completed cards to take home ready to send or give.  A handmade card really shows you care and can really make the recipients day. 
Card Making Classes with Bekka - check them out
I have never made cards before - which class should I pick?

Actually, you would be welcome at any of the card making classes I offer.  If however you would like a class especially designed to show you the basics of card making and to teach you some of the techniques we use at almost every class then why not book an Introductory Class.  These classes are run at your convenience (either daytime, evening or weekend) and you can bring along up to 5 of your friends.  An Introductory Class lasts about 2 hours and costs £15 per person, or the class is free if you place a qualifying order with me.

I am really short on time but would like to have hand made cards to send each month - which class should I pick?

Card Club Express is designed with you in mind!  We all have hectic lives and our time is precious so for those times when you need fast and fabulous cards to give or send just drop into Card Club Express and make 4 cards.  Even the times are flexible so you can fit it around your other commitments - just drop in for an hour (or longer if you want) and enjoy some light refreshments while you make your cards.  There are Friday morning and Saturday afternoon sessions available the second weekend of the month.  It costs £15 to make your 4 cards or is free if you place a qualifying order with me.

I want to make beautiful cards and learn new techniques - which class should I pick?

You are going to love the monthly Card Making Class.  At this class we take one of the wonderful Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets and make a collection of cards with it.  The cards will explore different ways of using the stamp set and cover lots of different techniques.  You will also have the stamp set to take home with you at the end of the class so you can make more of the cards when ever you want.  These classes will keep you inspired and boost your collection of both stamps and ideas!  The cost of this class varies depending on the stamp set we are using but tends to be between £28 and £35  This class is also available to take in the comfort of your own home and at your own leisure - just book a postal place.

I really want to take a class but I can't make the dates you offer - is there anything you can do?


Yes Definitely!  The Card Making Class is available by post - you will get the stamps all the card, accessories and instructions you need to make the projects - you will just need to add adhesives and ink.


Alternatively you may want to consider a private class for you and your friends, at your place or mine, just get in touch (bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk) and lets get planning! If you are not local we can also meet virtually for your class.

This all sounds great but what if I want to spend longer crafting?

Twice a year I run all day events - the next one is the Spring Craft Day on April 18th - a whole day of crafting fun.  You can find the details here.
Card Making Classes with Bekka - check them out
I want to make sure I know when your next classes are what should I do?

There are two ways you can find the information - on my web site here or by signing up for my free newsletter.  There is a sign up box on the top right hand side of this blog.

If you have any other questions about my classes please do just ask - bekka@feeling-crafty.co.uk and I look forward to seeing you in class soon
