High Wycombe gets creative with Stampin’ Up! UK

Crafting event held at the Eden Shopping Centre as part of Wycombe Arts Festival

For the second year running, High Wycombe -based craft company Stampin’ Up! UK invited the local community to share their creative card-making skills at the Eden Shopping Centre during the May Bank Holiday weekend (25th-27th May.)

This followed on from the company’s successful “Make Something that Means Something” event at the Eden Shopping Centre last year, which saw visitors of all ages attending a pop- up gallery and card making workshop.

This year’s event was also held as part of the Wycombe Arts Festival (28th April – 3rd June), which celebrates amateur and professional arts in and around High Wycombe.

Visitors to the event had the opportunity to make a beautiful bespoke card to keep, as well as the option to create an additional card to be donated to Stampin’ Up!’s chosen charity; Butterfly House, the South Bucks Hospice.

The event saw at least 80 visitors entered into an exciting prize draw to win a selection of prize giveaways, with many more visitors throughout the weekend enjoying a colourful card gallery as well as live product demonstrations.

Paula Gorry, Demonstrator Development Manager, Stampin’ Up! UK, comments: “We were delighted to welcome the local community to get crafting with us at the Eden Shopping Centre, and build upon the success of the event last year.

“Wycombe Arts Festival provides the perfect platform for us to promote crafting as a fun, relaxing and sociable outlet. Sharing Stampin’ Up!’s values with the local community was truly rewarding.”
