Deadline to register is Sept. 1stth!!!!!
Join us for an entire day of stamping fun! Cost - $25.00 per person. Your registration must be paid no later than 5 p.m. on Sept. 1st.th or sooner if I reach 20 crafters’. (This event will be close to the first paid 20 crafters. It was so much fun with a limited amount of crafter’s last spring, let’s do it again. This will give you over 4 weeks to complete your shoebox project and or swaps. Mail or give your registration form to Becky O’Donnell. There are no refunds, but you may offer your spot to someone else.
Here’s what is planned –
Mandatory - Everyone is responsible for a holiday (Christmas or Winter themed) shoebox project for 20 other crafters plus a few oopsies and 2 finished projects. (Finished projects will be – 1 for the display board and 1 for sample at your table location.) This can be a full card, tag, treat carrier, gift card holder or 3-D item with layers and embellishments that can be completed in 10 to 15 minutes. If you are unsure, time someone else doing your project. If your project takes a special adhesive, please provide it but have your name on it so it doesn’t disappear. Please make these something you’d be thrilled to get yourself. Please give your shoebox project a name so I can list them.
20 shoebox kits plus 2 finished of these kits. All supplies needed in a small baggie or kit form to make 20 of the same projects. (Also, a small bag of oopsies for things that may be missing for ruined unintentionally) You can use different DSP if you don’t have enough to make 20 the same –
WE will have everyone take out their shoeboxes and you will have all day to finish the 20 spots. (Hopefully, there will be room for 2 people at each spot if needed to complete a project. The sample and kits will be put in between 2 spots) Extra make-in-takes to keep everyone busy will be located around the room. We will work in a round-robin fashion to do each of the projects. A brief description left at your station will help tablemates to do your special shoebox project. YOU will move, NOT the Project. Everyone will also write their name next to your project so confused crafters can ask for assistance if needed.
When you arrive, you will put one on a display board with a number. And the other completed shoebox project will go to your shoebox project area.
Optional Swaps will be.
Male NVR (non-Vendor related card, Let’s make it masculine since it’s the hardest one to come up with)
Stampin Up – (card or card front) swap must be a new or returning Stampin up set (Retired DSP will be allowed)
Fancy Fold – a full card non-vendor Swap
Holiday Card – a full Christmas or Winter Card
CONTEST!!!
There will be a contest of your 3 favorite shoe box, one entry per person, voted on by everyone.
And a contest for the Best Swap Award in each category
Garage Sale – Bring your own stamps and or stamping supplies to sell or trade. Current Stampin Up items must be offered in trade only. You can sell retired items. Sorry, I can’t be responsible for missing items, so you bring it at your own risk. There will be a limited amount of table space for garage sale items, so if you have a lot of stuff, please bring your own table. There is no fee to sell or trade at this event. Please have your items priced. It is annoying to ask, and your box is labeled with your name so people can find you to pay.
Goodie Bags – for everyone!!! Everyone will leave with a bag of fabulous goodies. The goodie bags will have all the same value with some variations in colors, etc. If you would like to donate to the door prize table, please let me know. I love to share my stash.
Other Stuff – Please bring your own labeled items for your personal stamping needs, including your favorite adhesive, scissors, glue dots, foam tape. These are the items you just can’t stamp without.
Did I say ADHESIVES!!! You will use a lot of them.
Share this event with a newbie or friend, all are welcome.
All funds collected will be spent on the event, for the room, drinks, snacks, lunch, paper projects, etc. (may even make home-made mac n chesses if time allows) If you have any questions, like to bring something to the prize table or a snack to share, please ask. (Hint – you maybe be asked for the recipe, my best recipes come from friends)
(registration coming soon)
