NINE project ideas using Hooray for Surprises and Flight and Airy Designer Series Paper

Have you tried the Hooray for Surprises dies to add an extra fun element to your Stampin’ Up!® projects? They were the theme of my Spring Craft Day at the weekend.

Please bear with me here as I realise the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper we used is no longer available, as it was a Sale-a-Bration item available free with a £45 Stampin’ Up!® order during January and February. I will show you most of the projects we made, and many can be adapted to use different Stampin’ Up!® Designer Series Paper.

At my all-day classes, guests are given a kit of Stampin’ Up!® supplies and a pack of tutorials. This allows them to work at their own pace and skip any projects they don’t like the look of.

For this event, I knew some people would relish the challenge of making interactive cards, while others were just there for a natter and a bit of light crafting. So there were LOTS of projects for them to choose from.

Here are some of them...

I’ve been researching the hot trends for the year and a theme that kept popping up was jellyfish. Yes, jellyfish.
