The Stampers Mess - Genna Gifford

The Stampers Mess - Genna Gifford Based in Cranbourne North, Victoria and serving stampers Australia-wide! Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is so much more than I thought it would or could be.

I signed up to justify the time I wanted to spend being creative but couldn’t fit in around my busy life. And what I found is an endless array of people to meet and share my passion with. My solitary hobby is now the means of getting equal pleasure from learning, teaching and sharing the world of stamping. And the rewards go far beyond allowing myself to indulge my passion. I get to share it with others and watch as they grow and develop in their skills. There’s nothing better than seeing someone get such joy from creations they didn’t know they were capable of. Add to that the friendships I’ve formed with customers and fellow demonstrators, the skills I’ve learnt, the cards, scrapbook pages, gift and keepsakes I’ve created and there simply is no looking back. I’m hooked for life! Read more about my Stampin' Up! story here: http://thestampersmess.com/genna-gifford/

It's almost time for my card buffets to get started. Are you coming along to Cranbourne North to make your choice of cards using new products from Stampin' Up! We're definitely getting in the Christmas mood but there are cards for other occasions too.
This is a card I made while at my recent craft retreat and I liked it so much it's made it into the buffet line-up. This stamp set is creatively named...Santa's Hat and it's so quick and easy to use - no time consuming colouring here, just two-step stamping.

In this chain my card was No. 7 and I'd absolutely fallen in love with the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder and the Pearlized Specialty Paper in the new In Colours. I used Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloupe and Golden Glow for this one.
The cards in this chain changed drastically from beginning to end, but if you hop along you can see all the little changes along the way that added up to so much!

To see all the cards in the chain, start with the first one from Danielle Edwards here:

If you're in the middle of following it, you'll find the 8th card in the series from Sharni Green here:

I've been busy making the thank you gifts for everyone who comes along to my Card Buffet events this week (Thursday evening, Friday morning or Saturday afternoon).
This one's going to be a little different to usual - but I'll keep the surprise until you get here.

Are you coming to my Card Buffet later this week (Thursday evening, Friday morning or Saturday afternoon)?
It's probably not a surprise that there'll be a Merry Mischief Christmas gnome card to choose to make. I've teemed this one up with one of the simple papers in the Whispering Woods pack.

At my Card Buffets I always have a free mini card project to have a play with. And this time I'm stepping into the hot foiling fun with the Graceful Evergreen Deer.
Here are four options for what you'll create - and you can choose from a copper foiled deer or a reverse foiled deer on Very Vanilla.
It's not possible for everyone to do the foiling so these will be pre-done for you but I'm happy to show you how it's done.

We're starting off with the chain that I was the last to contribute to so I got to use the brand new Joyful Friends stamp set, along with the Textured Tree Ring embossing folder and the Party Banners dies. I featured the new Peaceful Pine colour - that's so perfect for Christams.
I love having a Christmas stamp set with Aussie images!

To see all the cards in the chain, start with the first one from Nancy Hoetker here:
https://www.nancysniftynotes.com/?p=29784
And if you've been following all the way along, you've reached the tenth and final card in the chain. I hope you're feeling inspired and have a go at making a fun card like this one yourself.

Create & Chat Quick Card Class is this week. Tues 8pm or Wed 10am. 1 card. $9.00. Cranbourne North. All welcome, just let me know you're coming.
I've had this card on display in my classroom for a little while and people have asked about it, so this is what we'll be making this week.
There's stamping, heat embossing and lots of fussy cutting!
