Hi, my name is Carrie.

What can I tell you about me then? I have been married to Steve for 20 years this year and he is my best friend.  We are lucky enough to have two amazing children, Isobel and Harry; they make me laugh, cry and happier than I can put into words !

We also have Herbie our cheeky lovable cockapoo.

As well as my love for Stampin’ Up! and all things creative I enjoy; keeping fit, adult tap and being partial to the odd G&T with my girlfriends !

Why do I craft?

It helps me express my creativity which I didn’t think I had in me. Plus it gives me some time for myself away from being a mum and work pressures.  Whether it is 10 minutes or an hour at my craft desk it helps me relax and unwind after a busy day.  

My Stampin’ Up! Story

In 2012 I experienced the world of Stampin’ Up for the first time when one of my best friend’s hosted a party and placed my first order straight away.

During 2014 after being my friend’s best customer I decided to take the plunge and sign up.  This was so I could benefit from the discount you get as an Indepedent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator.

In 2016 I started to offer ad hoc classes to friends and family and promoted to Bronze Elite which meant 25% discount on all my orders – fantastic right? Since then I have built up a team (The Inkies) who are a mix of ladies who do it just for the discount on their hobby and those who offer classes like me too.

2022 and beyond

I hope you will join me as my journey continues and I hope to inspire you to come and create with me.  Stampin’ Up! has allowed me to meet some wonderful people both my customers and demonstrators.  In addition it has helped my confidence and saved me lots of money on my craft addiction !

At the start of 2020 I didn’t anticipate a COVID-19 global pandemic so I had to stop my in person classes in mid March.  Since then I’ve kept in touch with my customers sending them a card to say hello, a phone call to chat.  I hosted a weekly craft and chat live on Facebook every Wednesday until I could begin my in person classes again during 2021.

I love to show new crafters who to have a great stamping experience and for those experienced crafters amongst you I hope to inspire you in different ways through new techniques and ideas.

Thanks for taking the time to read a little more about me.

Inky hugs,

Carrie
