Stamping in the RV with Stampin’ Up! ® Products and the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine

Hi there and welcome to my comprehensive guide on suggested Stampin’ Up! ® Products that you can take with you while travelling in your RV [Recreational Vehicle] (or perhaps you live in your RV full time or have a tiny space to craft in). Whatever the reason you’ve decided to check out my post today, I can assure you that you are not alone when it comes to deciding on what paper crafting supplies to take with you on your next adventure. Grab a cuppa and enjoy the read!

Of course when you’re travelling and seeing the sites, you often don’t have a lot of time to devote to your paper craft hobby/business but there can be days when you’re stuck in the van due to wild and windy weather and times when you’re wanting to chill out while you’re ‘free’ camping (boon docking).

I’m speaking from experience as hubby and I frequently travel within our beautiful State of Tasmania in our Australian made, 2015 AVIDA Birdsville Motorhome (Class C Motorhome in USA terminology). It’s when you get free camping spots like this one at The Bay of Fires (East Coast of Tasmania) that you have to ‘pinch’ yourself –

You can read about our travels thus far over on our Facebook page – Tassie 2 Get Away or find us on INSTA.

PS: I’ve started a Facebook Group for like minded Stampin’ Up! ® Enthusiasts. It’s called STAMPING ON THE GO. If you’re interested in joining, just follow the link below – https://www.facebook.com/groups/stampingonthego

Last month we spent a couple of weeks ‘glamping’ at Hobart, Sorell, Richmond and Oatlands and while we were away I made the big decision to rejoin Stampin’ Up! ®. I was frustrated with the stamping supplies that I’d thrown together to take on the trip; I’d packed too much stuff and storing it all proved to be a hassle. I vowed I would be much better organised for the next trip and had a bit of a ‘lightbulb’ moment. It basically consisted of some business ideas and how I was going to incorporate those ideas in our future travels. It appears this gal cannot fully retire and still has the ‘bug’ for all things Stampin’ Up! ®. I’m calling it my Stampin’ Up! ® Reset for 2021.

Today I’m sharing some ideas of products from the current Annual Catalogue that you can keep in your RV, or in a carry bag at the ready, as well as a comprehensive check list of suitable products that can be used with the new, soon to be released (January 2021), Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I’ve pre-ordered mine and cannot wait to take it on the road. Please CONTACT ME if you’re interested in purchasing one for yourself. It will be $104 AUD (very comparable to other similar machines on the market), has a “compact footprint for easy storage and travel”, is compatible with many products and includes one mini base plate, two mini cutting plates and one mini 3D embossing plate. I’m super excited about its release and cannot wait to have a play!

So let’s start with some basic tools and adhesives that I’ll be permanently keeping a supply of in the RV (PDF Checklist and You Tube Clip to come) –
