Toomuchfun Promotions
Steve Lindeman with Toomuchfun Promotions is the mastermind behind this event, along with his wife, who owns Toomuchfun Rubberstamps.
Steve promoted the first rubber stamp and scrapbook show in Fort Wayne in 2011, later adding shows in Syracuse, N.Y. and Sevierville, Tenn. Danville was added to the lineup next, to the delight of crafters throughout the Midwest who travel to Hendricks County every year for this popular event.
Steve is giving away two sets of two free tickets to readers of this post! Click below for your chance to win!
Stamping & Scrapbooking Vendors
Attendees will have two full days to visit the booths of professional rubber stamp and scrapbook companies from around the country, offering many products you won't find in chain craft stores. You can buy everything from decorative papers, cutting tools, ink pads, rubber stamps for every occasion, glitters, stencils, and so much more.
Many exhibitors even offer special discounts. They also display finished projects like greeting cards, scrapbook page layouts and other unique creations, giving you tons of ideas for how to use the products you buy.
Demonstrations
Newbies and experienced crafters alike will enjoy watching rubber stamping and scrapbooking demonstrations at many of the vendor booths.
But this show isn't just a spectator event! Some exhibitors offer make-and-take projects for a nominal fee, so attendees can try out products and take home a finished card or other handcrafted keepsakes.
Practice Your Craft
For more hands-on crafting, purchase tickets for a variety of classes offered on both Friday and Saturday. You can also sign up for the Make-and-Take Party from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 21, which costs $40 and includes admission to the show. Instructors provide you with unique projects to complete and then take home. Space is limited so get your tickets today!
Another option is to purchase table space at the show for one, two or all three days (Thursday-Saturday) for a full-on crafting marathon. The Create and Crop event gets you a four feet of table space to spread out and craft away. Free show admission is included, with costs ranging from $30 for a single day to $80 for all three days.
Fun Themes & Prizes
Toomuchfun Promotions promises a fun atmosphere with upbeat music and games as well as prizes throughout the show.
This year's show theme is Vacation Destinations. Come dressed in vacation garb to snag an extra door prize ticket. There will also be a Best Theme Dressed contest both days of the show where winners earn Fun Money to spend at any exhibitor booth!
Stay All Weekend
Get your fill of crafting by spending the whole weekend in Hendricks County. Fuel up at the on-site food vendor or check out one of Hendricks County's great local restaurants.
For breakfast, lunch, or a sweet treat, I recommend The Beehive, The Bread Basket, or Creation Cookie Cafe in historic Danville. Then for a memorable evening, enjoy dinner at Mayberry Cafe or Frank's Place and take in a movie at the historic Royal Theater.
