This is the project that I contributed this month:
World Card Making Day is on the 7th October. I am again collaborating with some of my demonstrator friends from Australia, The USA and Canada to host an online retreat. It will start on Saturday 7th October at 10:00 in Australia (Friday evening 6th October in the USA and Canada).
There will be 3 Zoom call sessions for you to join. In each of the calls, 3 demonstrators will be showing you how to make 2 cards each. A PDF idea file with measurements and supply lists will be provided prior to the event. You can prepare your cards and craft along, or join the Zoom to watch and socialise and make your cards later. At the end of it you will be able to make (or have ideas to make) 18 cards.
Due to a very unfortunate reality that is time zone differences, 2 of the Zoom calls will be on Saturday morning USA time which is the middle of the night Australian time. However, if you miss the Zoom calls, YouTube assembly links will be provided in a PDF file which will also have all the measurements so that you can make the cards in your own time. The time for the Zoom calls are 10:00-11:30 on Saturday 7th October (this is when you can chat to me), 01:00-02:30 and 03:00-04:30 on Sunday 8th October (I won’t be joining those live!)
Anyone is welcome to join us, stamping customers, your friends, fellow demonstrators, team members and newbies too! As this is an online event you can sign up with me from anywhere in the world! If you want to purchase products but you aren’t in the Australian market, I can refer you to one of the presenters in your market.
Complete an online registration form by clicking on the picture below and I will send you an invoice for payment.
After I receive your registration, I’ll snail mail your pillow gift (remember, registration must be received by 22nd September to receive the pillow gift!). The pillow gift is only for Australian residents, but I will send a card to international participants. The PDF file will be emailed after 22nd September so you can order supplies if needed and prepare your card stock. If you have any questions please email me. I am looking forward to stamping with you then!
To get an idea of the projects that I did at our last online retreat, you can watch my presentations in the videos below:
