My weekend started a day early on Friday when I took a day's leave to spend some time at SENZ (NZ's biggest craft fair of the year) I picked up my friend, Suna and we got to the venue at around 9.15am - it opened to pre-purchased ticket holders at 9.30. We had a ball walking around checking out the stalls and catching up with some friends. We even got to see the one and only Dyan Reaveley doing a mini demo at the Warehouse Stationery stall.
I spent up large... on some necessities like storage pockets and glues and then some fun stamps, dies and stencils.
I did a make and take at Uniquely Creative - the sweet little elephant water colouring - love the stamping so much I got the stamps and dies - as a kit including some patterned paper and flowers. I even found time when I got home Friday evening to make a sweet little card for my son to give his partner, from their daughter, her birthday.
Saturday I went again to the fair.... as I was booked into a class in the afternoon. Interactive cards with Paula from Craftables. It was a full on 2 hours - got 3 kits to make interactive cards...we managed to get two made, and one to bring home to finish.
This one has a magnetic closure which allows the centre panel to open and has a gift card envelope inside.
The second one is a hidden pull sentiment. Lots of fussy cutting of the flowers and leaves on both cards. The one I still have to do is a telescopic card. Luckily Paula has written detailed instructions.
Sunday - I've started making cards - will share them later... and then a visit with Grace to drop of her Mummy's birthday present. Here is Grace with her Pop
So if you made it this far.... thank you!
