Brisbane Craft & Gift Fair - Wrap Up

We had a great time at Chandler Arena last fortnight with the Brisbane Craft & Gift Fair crew. Lots of new faces, a heap of familiar faces, and lots of good crafting inspiration everywhere you looked!

Friday afternoon, set up complete!

Saturday morning, before the doors open. We always get a group photo before we start each day.

I think we have enough goodies?

I taught how to create our Starter Card Kit from scratch each day.

Shirley demonstrated our range of inks, stencils, and blending tools twice each day. This card uses the Card Creativity collection, available WSL.

Et voila! Some of my finished demo samples from Saturday plus all the simple extras I used to put them together.

Sunday morning group shot before doors opened.

Back at it again, showing our Starter Card Kit.

It's super easy and enjoyable to whip these up in very little time!

Shirley's back and showing another aspect of the stencils range we carry.

Lorraine taught this card as our $5 mini class all weekend.

Jean digging out some hearts to go on the cards.

Jean had a lot of interest in our Naked Layouts, especially from one of our site neighbors across the aisle. Here's one finished layout!

Shirley taught us all again Sunday afternoon how to use these dragonfly stencils on a stamped image. This collection available WSL!

Is it even a craft fair without a group selfie!? I think not.

Doors shut at 3 and we were all packed up by 3:50.

Some of these boxes met the Great Recycling Bin In The Sky after we got home.

All packed up, guarding the site while the drivers brought cars to the loading dock. Hivis fluro is a must!

That's all from us for the 2022 Brisbane Craft and Gift Fair. Be sure to follow Quota Carindale for all the 2023 Craft and Gift Fair details as they happen.
