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

Stampin’ Up! Regional training Telford 2014

Saturday i spent the day with fellow demonstrators in Telford for our annual Stampin’ Up! regional training event, we had an amazing day learning about what is coming in the new 2014/2015 Annual Catalogue,

As usual we all made swaps, heres my swap..

Ive used the Stampin’ Up! Postcard stamp, to create the multi coloured background i made my own ink pad using baby wipes and re-inkers, then using a clear block as my stamp, stamped onto my base, then stamped over the top using the floral corner stamp from the So very Grateful stamp set..

The light gold dictionary text was added my lightly dabbing gold ink on to my stamp then rubbing the cardstock lightly onto the stamp, this way you only get image / text where you want it..

I made 60 of these, my sentiment stamp is from the really good greeting stamp set

I could resist toping my swap off with a butterfly..

Everything ive used today is available right now in my online shop
