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:

Heres what i made everyone…

I decorated notebooks featuring and colours inspired by the convention 2014 logo.. they all loved them,

I also made Bag Charms as we all had the same bags this was a good way to see whos was whos easily

I shared a room with Jo, and we also made each other a roomie gift, Jo made and decorated me this gorgeous acrylic holder using Stampin ups All is Calm Dsp, with roses in matching cardstock, inside was chocolates and some lovely Sanctuary smellies and flanel. she’d also clipped on the outside a lovely bag charm with butterflies – my favourite..
