What my customers say!
This was such a fabulous retreat – Myself and family decided to go together and it was wonderful!! We spent the day learning all things card making, Pip and the team were amazing!! We were complete beginners and we all came away with fabulous cards, plus stamps (we may have bought some extra ones too!) – the atmosphere was wonderful, catering amazing and we are already looking at doing it again! Thanks Pip!!

Pip’s enthusiasm for craft is infectious, but what sets her apart from others is her compassion and human touch. Her ability to connect with people regardless of experience or age is one of her many attributes. She genuinely cares about your own personal experience first, her customer service is second to none. Thank you Pip for being you!

Thanks Queen Pip for another fantastic Card Making Retreat. I always learn some new techniques even though I have been making cards for many years. I also have some left over materials to use for practicing what I have learnt. I have been to many of your retreats and they are relaxing, entertaining and productive. I can’t wait for the next one. Five stars are never enough!

About Your Hosts
Pip has crafted nearly all of her life being raised by an art teacher it was just a normal part of life. During her early 40’s she found card making again & Stampin’ Up! a US based Direct Sales company whose products she fell in love with. More she realised her true passion was sharing her card making skills with others and helping them become confident card makers.
Today she’s taught thousands of women how to improve their card making whilst running amazing retreats giving fantastic experiences.
Allison is my design and on the day partner for my in person retreats. She’s been card making even longer than I have and loves creating amazing creations. We became friends through our love of Stampin’ Up! and clicked immediately. With the same sense of humour and dedication to giving our guests fabulous experiences it makes our in person retreats a dream!
Frequently Asked Questions
I don't live in the UK can I come?
Sadly my retreats are in person only in the UK. However, I also teach online via my Card Making Know How Academy which is open worldwide, and I go live on YouTube twice a month! See more information HERE.
I’m new to card making, can I come?
Yes, all of my retreats are perfect for all levels of experience. New card makers will need just a few basic tools however some retreats need more supplies. With my expert help and guidance, even the newest card makers can achieve results.
Will I have my own table?
Yes! Everyone gets a whole table to themselves for the day – something you don’t usually get at retreats.
What equipment do I need to have?
Your stamps, card and paper are all included for this retreat. All projects are within the grasp of a beginner or a confident card maker, but you will need to bring:
- Inks
- Paper Trimmer
- Paper Snips (sharp scissors)
- Bone Folder
- Glue (wet & dry for all uses)
- Take Your Pick Tool
- Blocks for the stamps included
- Blending / Colouring tools
You do not need a die cutting machine as there is one available for sharing on the day.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes! The deposit is required to guarantee your booking. This is non refundable. After that, contact me to work out a payment plan that suits you. All payments are required prior to the closing date for each retreat (normally 6 weeks prior).
I have dietary requirements; can they be catered for?
For in person retreats the hotel is excellent at providing lunches that are suitable for all main dietary (and some more niche) requirements. I issue a dietary requirements submissions form for all guests to complete for each specific event. If you wish, you may also contact the hotel directly. No medical data is requested and all data is deleted after each event.
