Papercraft Classes in Ballarat

Take some time out for yourself and join us for a relaxed, welcoming class where you can be creative, learn new skills, and enjoy the company of others who love being creative too.

Held in Ballarat and Creswick, these two-hour classes are a fun and friendly way to enjoy some creative time for just $35. All materials are provided, and you’ll make three gorgeous projects to take home, with step-by-step guidance along the way. And if you place a qualifying product order on the day, your class is free. We also regularly welcome attendees who travel from Melbourne, Geelong, and beyond.

All skill levels welcome. Bookings essential, as classes do frequently book out.

Crafting together

Workshops

Gather your crafty friends and enjoy your own creative Workshop

If you’ve been looking for a fun reason to get together with friends, a Workshop is such a lovely way to do it. You’ll enjoy a relaxed few hours of creativity, good company, and beautiful handmade projects in this private class… without having to organise it all yourself!

Workshops are usually held in your home or in a suitable local community space. All we need is a table and a little room to create. A dining table or kitchen bench works beautifully.

Stamping demonstration

I bring everything needed for the projects, including cardstock, adhesives, stamps, embellishments, and protective mats. You simply provide a few food and drink treats for your guests to enjoy.

We’ll make two fun projects together, and I’ll guide everyone step-by-step, so it feels easy and enjoyable for all skill levels.

If your guests place orders over $35, each person earns 10% back in Stampin’ Rewards to spend on a future order. Or we can simply arrange a flat fee for the class instead.

A minimum of three guests is required.

Events

Throughout the year, I occasionally collaborate with members of my Stampin’ Up! team to host special creative events, classes, and papercrafting experiences. These events are a wonderful opportunity to enjoy exclusive projects, fresh inspiration, and time with other like-minded crafters. If you’d like to stay in the loop, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter so you don’t miss any upcoming event news.

I’m also a regular exhibitor at some of Victoria’s leading papercraft and craft events, including CraftAlive Ballarat, CraftAlive Shepparton, CraftAlive Wodonga, Paperific, and the Victorian Papercraft Show. As an experienced Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I love sharing creative ideas, demonstrating products, and helping crafters of all skill levels feel inspired and supported.
