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/

Thanks to everyone who came along to my Card Buffet today. LOTS of cards were made and the favourite is too close to call so far.

A special thanks to Sara Rose for your multiple exclamations of how happy you were with your projects - it made my day to hear such joy! I'd love to know if you end up giving them away or keeping them. :)

There's one last spot in tomorrow's 2pm session in Cranbourne North if anyone wants to nab it:

Almost there. I'm getting my thank you goodie bags for my Card Buffet attendees sorted and I've finished prepping all the pieces.
All that's left is the assembly now.

If you'd like to get one, just come along to the events in Cranbourne North later this week. Check out the details here:

How cute is the new Woolly Friends punch bundle!
These are the samples I've made for the free mini card projects that everyone coming to my Card Buffet can make.
These are just the bundle, white cardstock and a little bit of ink blending in the background.
The Card Buffet is this week - Thursday evening, Friday morning (fully booked) or Saturday afternoon. Use this link to find out more:

This is the card we made recently in our Create & Chat class - where I gave the option to make the distressed version or the clean version.
I'm curious, do you prefer the look of this or that?
And would your opinion change if you were making it rather than viewing it?

Some of the cards in my Card Buffet next week are simpler than others.
This one features the new Gears & Textures stamp set. It has matching dies as well but we won't be using them this time.
The stamping here is a freestyle collage in fun colours and is great for beginners and more experienced stampers. You can copy my version or create your own with a range of stamps in different shapes and sizes.

The Friday session is full but you can still book for Thursday eve (15th) or Saturday afternoon (17th)

In this final chain my card was No. 3, and I used the now sadly retired Storybook Friends bundle and the Timeless Plaid papers. I went for a monochrome Misty Moonlight look to help the feature image stand out.
