Tidformera is 10 years old!

The stationery event of the year in Sweden? You be the judge. 😁

What exactly is happening in the main hall on Saturday?

At 10:00 AM, we open the doors to the large conference room. We have filled the hall with over 50 tables where you can touch, feel, test, browse, and craft to your heart's content.

The room is divided into different areas including Japanese stationery, washi/PET tape & stickers, scrapbooking, paint & art supplies, and browsing tables. 

At about 20 of the tables, there will be people on hand to demonstrate products, craft, answer questions, and share tips and tricks. At the other tables, we are setting up our range so you can see things that are difficult to showcase properly in an online shop.

For instance, we are cutting up loops of tons of PET tape from our selection so you can easily see the full designs. Washi tape is being stuck onto sheets. You can leaf through books and refills, and test pens, paints, stamps, and more.

The products have barcodes that can be scanned into the search function at tidformera.se. If you find something you want, you can add it to your cart and skip on up to our shop.

At the vast majority of the tables, there are also raffles. Sign up for the prizes you want to win—at 3:00 PM, we’ll pop some bubbly and draw the winners. If you’ve already left, we’ll send your prize to you.

Quite a lot, actually! 

On November 7th from 10 am to 4 pm, we’re filling the main hall at Centralhotellet in Tierp with things to test, do, browse through, and compare. It’s a bit like stepping into our webshop, but with the opportunity to feel and test everything.

The text here is about some of the people and activities you will find on-site. We have gathered all the brands and what they are up to in their own "Brands A–Z" section. Because there is quite a lot of it.  

Reversed coloring
Karin from BahKadisch is coming with her latest Coloring Cards. This is reversed coloring – the color is already on the paper and you fill in the lines, patterns, and details yourself. You’ll find her at the Tombow station! 

Name embossing 
Helena will be there at Leuchtturm1917 and Paperstyle with an embossing event! Get your name embossed on a notebook.

Bookbinding 
The bundle of joy that is Louisa will be there to show you how to create your own simple booklets. 

The Washi table 
The lovely Anna, queen of washi tape, creates incredibly beautiful things with washi. Here you can get inspired and pick up tips and tricks. Right next to her, you will find our decoration tape bonanza: PET tape in full loops and washi stuck onto sheets. Featured brands include Washi Tape Shop, mt, BGM, CutieSquad, Moonaries Illo, Mind Wave, MIC & MIM, Plan & Plot, and Penpaling Paula. 

Shopping! 
All products in the hall are marked with barcodes. If you find something you fall in love with, you can easily scan the barcode in the search field at tidformera.se and add the item to your cart. When you feel you are finished browsing, just hop over to our shop located right across the courtyard! We are stocking up right now, and the warehouse will be packed. 

Dot painting 
Here you can try dot painting! Maja will be on-site, and you can try creating with dots, pens, and paint. 

Decoupage 
Try decoupage! A technique where you glue rice paper or napkins onto things like pots and bowls – or use them as a background in a Bullet Journal.

Over 50 tables and a whole heck of a lot of brands! Here is an A–Z list of what is confirmed or currently in the works, and no, this is still not everything.

 ALADINE Aladine is the brand with materials for dot painting. There will be a dot painting table with Maja where you can try it out, get tips, and let loose with paint and dots. Raffle!

CIAO BELLA You will find Ciao Bella in the scrapbooking section with junk journals and other items used for creating throughout the day.

COMPOCO Compoco is back after having been hopelessly difficult to keep in stock. We are setting out the range here so you can take a closer look.

CUTIESQUAD Gladys and CutieSquad are already highly involved in the anniversary chaos! Among other things, she is the one who created our very own 10-year design. We have our fingers crossed that she can make it; it would be amazingly fun! There will be stickers and washi tape unrolled so you can see the designs and everything else fun.  Mystery Boxes are among the prizes in the raffle.

HOBONICHI Here you will find Anna, a devoted Hobonichi user who can demonstrate, offer tips, and answer questions. Notebooks will be on display, and hopefully, the next big restock of planners will have arrived so there will be plenty of samples to flip through and handle.

ITD COLLECTION Arriving in the decoupage section with rice paper. ITD has also sent a full 100 giveaway sets for the anniversary with samples of how you can create 3D decoupage. There is a QR code that leads to a video, though it is in Polish, so be sure to have subtitles on.

MIC & MIM Tons of clear tape that we have cut into loops so that you can see the designs. Raffle!

MIDORI This will be a bit of a Midori bazooka. Notebooks, stencils, stamps, stickers, storage, and more from the fairly insane breadth we have managed to build up.

MIND WAVE More Japan, more stickers, and more washi. The tapes will be rolled out so that the entire design is visible.

MOONARIES ILLO All the fun with the character Mocha. Bad humor, stickers, washi, and other fun stuff that you can take a good look at. Windy will be sending along fun items for the anniversary.

PAPERBLANKS We have to admit defeat when it comes to being able to show Paperblanks properly. There will be raffles in the hall, but here you will primarily have to browse our shelves in the shop. 

PAPERSTYLE Paperstyle is a Swedish brand, and the diaries sell like hotcakes during Christmas with us. Included in the embossing event with Leuchtturm1917 and Helena.

PENCO Previously, Penco with us has mostly consisted of a few select favorites. We have made some absurd purchases and broadened the range significantly.  Now we all just have to keep our fingers crossed that some of it manages to get here before the event. The new and significantly broader range will get a proper presentation in the Japan area.

PENPALING PAULA Here, too, there will be loops of PET tape to take a closer look at, as well as unrolled washi tape. We will be showcasing the designs properly on everything. Penpaling Paula is also contributing to the anniversary with all sorts of things!

PÉBÉO This is going to be messy.  You will find Pébéo at the pouring station. There you will find Pernilla @pernillastavlor, who will be creating throughout the day. The paintings will then be raffled off, but be prepared for a loooong wait before we can send them to the winners. Raffle for both a kit and paintings!

ROYAL TALENS / AMSTERDAM Amsterdam will be in the acrylic area where the lovely Elisabeth @guterabbit will be painting. It is sure to inspire you to dare to start painting yourself! An Amsterdam set is also among the anniversary prizes.

TOMBOW Here you will find, among others, Karin @bahkadisch with BahKadisch Coloring Cards! Available here are ABT Dual Brush Pens, swatches, and test pens. The Swedish distributor is also on-site and also carries Kuretake, NT Cutter, and Shachihata.  Among the raffle prizes is a full Tombow ABT display.

TRAVELER'S COMPANY Here we are building a true refill library with all refills for the Regular size, so that you can flip through, feel the paper, and compare them. Now we are keeping our fingers crossed that our orders for the expanded accessories arrive in time. The lovely Jessika @jsbujoandlettering will be sitting at the table, working on her own and sharing tips and tricks.  Raffle for a Cover Starter Kit Regular.

TSUKINEKO There will be a dedicated ink pad table in the scrapbooking area where you can feel, handle, and test every brand in our assortment. But what is the actual difference between all the ink pads? Here you will find Marie @pysselmia09, who will be training hard over the coming weeks with all the brands, stencils, and loads of stamps. 

UNI MITSUBISHI PENCIL You will find Uni with Daniel (who also has Darwi and Derwent), and we will have expanded there with a few displays of new products in the range over the next few weeks. Test them out, chat away!

We also have Moa @moabergfoth on-site, who is fantastically skilled at creating extremely beautiful patterns with pens, paints—well, everything. You will find her in connection with the Uni table, as well as Kuretake and Tombow. We hope she can hold a little exhibition in conjunction with this! 

We are located in Tierp, between Uppsala and Gävle. Tierp station is only a few hundred meters from us, and trains run here from Stockholm, Arlanda, Uppsala, and Gävle, among other places. For those arriving by car, Tierp is conveniently located along the E4.

The jubilee will be held at Hantverksgatan 4, Tierp, in the same building as our premises, the conference rooms, and Centralhotellet.

For those of you traveling from afar who wish to stay for the whole weekend, there is accommodation very close by. Centralhotellet is located in the same building as both us and the conference rooms (https://www.centralhotellettierp.se/), so it is hard to find a shorter commute between the craft table and your bed. There are also rooms at Hotell Gästis (https://www.gastistierp.se/), which is located by the train station just a few hundred meters from our venue.
