Convention 2014 Swaps

By the time you are reading this I will be in fabulous Brussels enjoying the first session of Stampin' Up!'s annual convention for European demonstrators.

When Stampin' Up! demonstrators get together they love to share ideas and so we make examples of cards and/or projects to swap with other demonstrators. So here are a couple of photos of my swaps - a card and a box. Thanks to my roomie, Clare, for helping me finish these in our hotel room last night!

The card is a stepped up version of a previous Fast Friday project. The box is just adorable and easy - the box is pre-made (you get 25 in a pack) and I just stamped snowflakes from Endless Wishes onto the box, put some chocolates inside (what else?!) and wrapped them up with some of my favourite Stampin' Up! ribbon - et voilà!

To make these projects you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Whisper White ♦ Stamps: Work of Art, Hey There Buds, A Dozen Thoughts, Endless Wishes ♦ Ink: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Craft White ♦ Tools/Accessories: Tiny Treat Boxes, Scalloped Edge Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Whisper White Organza ribbon

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

Why not come back soon when I will share some of my photos from my time in Brussels.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Fast Friday - Week 22

Bonjour! I held a class last week to celebrate the new Autumn/Winter Seasonal 2014 catalogue and we made 5 projects - 2 3D items and 3 cards. Here's one of the cards we made.

This was quick and easy to do - just what is needed when making multiple cards to send out at Christmas! And it was super easy using the Endless Wishes photopolymer set. I started off stamping the greeting (love, love, love the mixture of fonts) and then stamped the snowflakes round it. The longest part of the project was probably spent on cleaning the stamps when changing ink colours!

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Whisper White ♦ Stamps: Endless Wishes ♦ Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Elegant Eggplant, Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate ♦ Tools/Accessories: Basic rhinestones

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

It did seem a bit odd though making Christmas cards whilst we have an Indian summer! If you would like to see this set in action, why not come along to Stamperama's show at The Rufus Centre in Flitwick on Saturday 25 October where I will be having a stand. Stamperama is always a great show and this one is extra special as it will be in aid of the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!
