Convention Swaps

I promised that I would come back with some pics of my swap from Convention. This card was inspired by a card that Carolyn King. I recently went to a Stamp Camp run by Pat Carr.  Susan Joyce actually did the demo on how to make the card that Carolyn had made. You will need the following:-

 

Cardstock - Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, Naturals Ivory

Ink - Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake

Stamp Sets - Papillion Potpourri, Wordplay

Accessories - Dauber, Shimmer Paint (Champagne Mist), Isocol Rubbing Alcohol,

Window Frames Collection 129021, Elegant Butterfly Punch

 

First of all you need to use your dauber to sponge the Midnight Muse and Crumb Cake inks onto the Naturals Ivory cardstock.  Once you have done this you will need to spray the cardstock with water quite liberally.  Let the water run over the cardstock so that the colours run a bit. I then used a paper towel to dab to get the excess water off and leave to dry.  You can use your Heat Tool to dry off if you haven't used any embossing powder with an image first.

Once it is dry you can then stamp your image onto the cardstock and then I sprayed with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint mixed with Isocol Rubbing Alcohol.  Its amazing how the colour is lifted once you spray this on.  The rest is self explanatory.

All the sentiments ready to adhere to cardstock

And they are all ready for Convention

When I arrived home from Convention I put all of my photos onto USB's for the girls in my team and I made these little tags to write a little note to each of the girls. This is a Sneak Peek in case you haven't already guessed.  Its from the new catalogue and the set is called Around The World. I love the colours in the DSP. They are the new In Colours.  I won a Prize Patrol which consisted of the Around The World Stamp Set, DSP and a ribbon.

I was kept busy also as I had an order for some Baby Shower Invitations.  I only had a week to have them ready by the time I arrived home from convention. I hadn't got much notice before I left for Brisbane.  I spent three days and nights making them and I think they turned out pretty good.

I have used the following:-

 

Cardstock - Pretty In Pink, Whisper White

Ink - Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Versamark

Stamp Set - Bordering On Romance, Button Buddies

Accessories - White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Corner Rounder, Pearls, Delicate Designs Embossing Folder, Framelit Labels collection 125598, Pink Ribbon (unfortunately not SU!)

 

I will be back with more soon. 

Thanks for popping by :)

 

AUTUMN - WINTER MINI CATALOGUE

 

Hi there everyone! I am so excited about the new Autumn - Winter Mini Catalogue.    

It is packed with so many gorgeous products.  I know that this one is the best so far.  I am sure you will be thinking the same. For starters we have the Simply Scored Scoring Tool.  This is something that we have all been waiting for. It also has a few accessories that you can purchase. As you know normally the scoring boards come in inches but now you can buy a metric plate to place on top. We also have markers so that you dont have to keep looking for the place to score.  The marker tells you straight away where to score. The Simply Scored Stylus is a very strong ergonomic and comfortable tool.  If you would like to see what it looks like then click this link to view in video.

We also have some Framelits Dies, Edgelits Dies and some edging Textured Impression Embossing Folders.  Click here to see how the Edgelits Dies and Embossing Folders work. There are lovely stamp sets, papers, punches and Brads.  We even have Scented Embossing Powder in Vanilla, Melon and Cherry. Need I say more. I am sure I have your fingers itching to get their hands on the new mini catalogue.

    Please look down the right hand side for the Autumn-Winter mini icon and click on it. You will be taken to the catalogue and you will be able to see page by page all that Stampin' Up! has to offer in the new mini. Please email me if you would like to order. Lets see how long your wish list will be. You have until the end of July. Thanks for popping by :)
