Oh my goodness! I had a total blast last week in Rotterdam meeting all my Stampin’ Up! friends and making many new ones. I took a half-empty suitcase over with me – and it came back bulging with gifts and LOADS of swaps.

On Stage is a fantastic annual event for SU Demonstrators all over the world. We are lucky enough to get a swag bag, which this year I think was the best ever. There was a fabulous rucksack, a lunch box/craft box, a beautiful journal, pens and badges and there were additional prizes given away as Prize Patrols throughout the event. I received some gorgeous DSP and a beautiful stamp set. I will show you all these in a future live and blog post.

Today in my Craft with Carol LIVE I showed you some of the many, many Rotterdam swaps I received. Inspiration for many years to come!

If you didn’t see me live, then here is the video replay:

All these swaps mean I will never be short of ideas for projects and cards – I used an idea from 2019 for the swaps I made this year, for example.

I feel so blessed to be part of such a fabulous Stampin Up! community. part from the friendships and chat, we had many superb presentations showcasing some new products, a product playground and time every day for some crafting of course. These events are such fun. Tiring, but fun!

Why don’t you think about joining as a Stampin Up! demonstrator this year then you can come with me to Strasbourg on 13th-15th March 2025?

I guarantee you’ll love it!
