Hello friends!
It’s almost time for another CraftAlong event and I am excited to share it with you! This month we will be focusing on the beautiful Perennial Lavender suite of products. It’s been such a popular set already! And no wonder… with different shades of purple, plus green and some neutrals, its perfect for so many different types of projects!
I’ve been doing CraftAlong for quite a while now, and the feedback has been fabulous. In case you don’t know, CraftAlong is a live public video tutorial (or class) that I do once a month, and each time we focus on a different style of card, type of technique, or suite of products.
This month CraftAlong will be held on Thursday 25th January @ 2pm (Sydney time) and I hope you can join us. Here is the video link to click at that time:
Those that ordered their Stampin’Up products with me the previous month will receive a supply pack to make the live project. Plus after the event I also send them (and my team) several more step-by-step tutorials on the same theme. And a pdf with all the measurements for each project.
For those that haven’t ordered (or are unable to) I offer an alternative – these extra tutorials and measurements are available to purchase. I always make sure the cards are extra special, and I know you will love them!
Stay tuned for more details next week!
