Stampin’ Up! Convention 2014–Display

Before Convention i was asked by Stampin’ Up! if i would like to be part of the demonstrators making cards for the display boards at Convention – of course i said yes.. I was sent the ‘For all Things’ Stampin up stamp set to use, i had to make a minimum of 3 samples.. here are the cards i made..

i used a colour combo of Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand and Cajun Craze

Heres my cards on the inspitation display boards with the other demos cards..

I got all excited to see my name on the thank you board : )

Everything i used to make my display cards is available to buy right now in my online shop…

Stampin’ Up! Convention 2014 Swaps

Today im sharing with you the swaps i made.. Heres is them all packed ready to go, I made 100 card fronts and 50 3d swaps with a chocolate inside..

The little gift below is made using the envelope punch board, and the trim the tree paper stack with crumb cake thick bakers twine

To make the little pouches cut the paper to 11.5cm x 11.5cm then on the envelope punch board score at 6.5cm and punch, turn and line up to scoreline and repeat on all 3 sides – and voila super easy but really effective, I will be posting a video on these too

My card swap featured the Festival of trees stamp… and a machine sewn border – have you tries machining on your cards yet??? no!! do it its so effective and doesnt damage your machine..

In return i have this box full of amazing swaps to go through…

Heres what Ive used:

Stampin’ Up! Convention 2014

Im back!! from an AMAZING Stampin’ Up! Convention in Brussels, Belguim. I went with 4 other Demos from Norfolk and we had a BLAST. 3 of the others had never been to Convention but they were blown away with Stampin’ Up! generosity and the amazing 2 days they put on for us. We enjoyed swapping with 600ish other European demos, classes, Demonstrations, Display boards, Prize Patrols plus make & Takes and a fabulous awards night followed by an after party..

Heres the bag we each received – its a Stampin Up tradition – each year a bag but different from other years…

The bag takes my iPad, plus a stampin up stylus was included, and it has lotttssss of pockets..

Heres what else we all got…. Spoilt or what?!?!

This has to be a favourite thing we got given on the Thursday evening when we took our first class… a Personalised stamp we all got over excited as these are not available to us here in Europe – YET! heres hoping we get them
