Creative Club IRL meet-up: journaling, scrapbook & creative hobby hangout!
About this Event
Creative Club IRL (in real life) meet-up! ❤
Come along and join my journaling, scrapbooking & creative hobby hangout! Bring your journal, scrapbooking supplies or any crafty project/ hobby you’d like to work on and let’s have some creative time together as a little community!
Our August 2026 theme is:
‧₊˚ ⋅ Catch-up ‧₊˚ ⋅
Our Creative Club IRL theme for August is ‧₊˚ ⋅ Catch-up ‧₊˚ :
- Got an unfinished crafty project lying around that you need some motivation to finish? Bring it along and work on it at the meet-up!
- Need to catch up on journal pages about recent events? This is your chance!
- Had an idea you've been meaning to turn into reality? Let this Creative Club meet-up be the spark that brings your creation into fruition!
- We've had a little break - our last Creative Club IRL meet was in May and I can't wait to catch up with you all <3
Me personally? I'll be catching up on creating journal pages about StationeryFest (the big event I know quite a few of us will be attending on 25th July!) You can expect the bundles for this event to include lots of stationery & creativity themed items including some new and exciting goodies I'm making to launch new at StationeryFest, but I'll be keeping some back especially for your Creative Club IRL bundles! :)
What to bring:
Want to bring along your junk journal supplies for a scrap and yap? Perfect, that’s what I’ll be doing too! Got a handmade card you’d like to make? Got an embroidery or crochet project you’re currently working on? Bring it along! This is open to anyone who would like to get creative alongside a community of other likeminded people, so please bring along any supplies with you for what you personally would like to create.
You can choose to follow our monthly theme (above) as inspiration, but you don't have to - make whatever you like!
Ticket Types
•£1 tickets = entry only
Choose this ticket type if you'd just like a space at this meet-up but you'll be bringing all your own supplies to work on your own craft/ hobby/ project.
•£9 tickets = entry + ‧ ₊ Stationery & creativity bundle ₊ ‧
Choose this ticket if you'd like a space but also want to receive a bundle of stickers that will all be stationery & creativity themed! This will include some new items I have made for launch at StationeryFest but will be saving some back especially for your Creative Club IRL bundles :)
Please only select one ticket type as both include entry!
Collaborative activities:
★ 'Our stationery faves' - bring along a sticker from your fave sticker sheet (if you can spare one!) or a swatch from your new favourite washi tape, or a little piece of your current fave patterned paper, or write a sentence about your fave new stationery purchase and why you love it. Let's make a little gallery of our current fave things, like a little stationery-themed group time capsule!!
★ Ongoing collaborative activity: making a title page for the Big Journal. If you'd like to contribute, please bring along (or make at the event) a title that says "Creative Club IRL" - we will be adding them all to one big title page. Bubble lettering? Ransom note style letter collage? Use whatever style you like!

About the venue:
🞷 About the venue 🞷
In a grand old building at the heart of Birmingham’s historic centre is the flagship Boston Tea Party cafe. Just a stones-throw from Birmingham New Street Station (approx 10 minute walk) you can grab coffee, breakfast, ‘the best brunch in Birmingham’, lunch, tea, or cake (despite the name, Boston Tea Party is not just a tea and coffee shop!)
