My 10th Anniversary and a Giveaway Plus Tutorial – #1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles
Well, would you believe, I’ve made it to 10 years?
I can, easily!
I absolutely adore what I do, and I love all the opportunities I’ve been given, and those that I’ve taken up too!
I’ve travelled the world, met incredible people and work with quite frankly, the most incredible team ever.
I do chatter on quite a bit in the video, and I hope you enjoy my waffly natter. I had to stop myself from going too overboard!
But suffice it to say, getting to 10 years was a no brainer. I love it!
In celebration of those 10 years though, I’ve bought 10 packs of the Like An Animal paper that I’m using in today’s tutorial (yes, there’s a tutorial too!), and I’m giving them away to 10 people.
To enter, you can either place an order with me between now and the end of the day on the 31st of March (orders already placed today are included!), and you’ll get 5 entries into the draw. Or you can simply leave a comment here on my blog or on my youtube channel and get 1 entry.
Orders can be placed from the following 7 countries – The UK, The Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, Ireland and Austria.
I can only send the product gift to the above countries, as per my demonstrator agreement
If you live outside those locations, please feel free to enter by leaving a comment. Should you win, I will send you the project featured here on today’s blog, and if multiple names are drawn from outside the countries, I’ll make you something special!

I hope you enjoyed this project, I absolutely adore what I do and spend many hours working on designs, new projects, new ideas and more.

You did an amazing job all the time.

I live in the States but I wanted to say congratulations on 10 years! I stumbled upon your blog a few years back as I was searching for 3-D paper projects, and have been a fan ever since. I do enjoy making cards but I especially enjoy 3-D projects (boxes, primarily) and have found your blog to be very inspirational and motivating. I admire your enthusiasm and the way in which you clearly present how to make the projects (including listing the various dimensions and especially the finished project dimensions). Your blog is a great resource for those of us who favor 3-D projects. Thank you ever so much!
Congrats on your 10 years with SU!! LOVE your blog and projects and have made a good number of them. I especially appreciate the fact that you tell your measurements in both metric and Imperial as I’m in the US and don’t use metric. Love these little boxes and love the paper! Thanks Sam, for all you do!
Congratulations!
I love to start my mornings by watching your videos – best start to my days ever!
Loving your cats when they assist you.
Your projects are always inspiring – especially the 3-d ones!
Congratulations Sam. I always follow you . . . and you deserve every little or big thing you have obtained from Stamping Up and from your followers. Keep up the wonderful job you do. A toast to the next 10 years!!!!
