Hamilton Extravaganza

We had a full house at our recent Hamilton Extravaganza.  It was so much fun at this sell-out event with an amazing crowd that contributed to our fabulous day!

At the Hamilton Extravaganza, we love to pamper our guests.  Each of my guests received these gift bags, which were decorated using the pretty You're a Peach Designer Series Paper and Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon.  I also filled and decorated the very cute Mini Jam Jars for everyone.

The pampering continued throughout the day, with names drawn and prizes given.  Here's a taster of what was on offer...

And that is just the beginning!  In addition to all that, everyone who attends the Hamilton Extravaganza creates five fabulous projects using new products and colours from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue.  This first project is a gorgeous vintage-style card that was taught by Sally Williams and Lesley Scott.  It was a design by Tammy Wilson and is created using the Quiet Meadow Bundle in Fresh Freesia...

Jacque Williams and Caz Hurst showed everyone how to create a Side Easel Card using the fun Turtle Friends stamp set and coordinating Turtle Punch.  Take a look at that gorgeous shell!  It was filled in with Shimmery Crystal Effects to give that shiny, 3-D effect.

This fun Twist & Pop Card using the Beauty of the Earth Suite was taught by Fiona Sisam.  I love the textural element of die-cutting the tree leaves for the front of this card from one of the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Papers.

And lastly, I showed everyone how to create a gift box of cards, including three pretty thank you note cards and envelopes, using the Flowers of Friendship Bundle.  This box design was inspired by Connie Stewart.
