Inspire. Create. Share. 2015 South Pacific Convention - Swap 2

This is the second lot of swaps I created for the Inspire. Create. Share . 2015 South Pacific Convention.  The Just Add Ink ladies held their own Convention swap and this is the swap I made for the JAI swap.

It's a great way to use up scraps that you have just lying around.

I've been on the Just Add Ink Design Team now for nearly 6 months now ad this will be the first time that I get to meet them all, those who are going anyway. I'm so excited about meeting my fellow JAI ladies and actually seeing all these creative ladies face to face.

I'm really loving the white on white layers at the moment. An how awesome does the Happy Hearts Embossing folder look. I love it!

Till Monday when I show my last swap!

Inspire. Create. Share. 2015 South Pacific Convention - Swap No. 1

This year for the South Pacific 2015 Convention I've made 3 swap designs with them all being very different from each other. One is very pretty and girly and the other is a bit more modern.

Here is what the first one looks like in full.

There is actually a story to how I came to use this stamp set for my swaps. I really had no idea as to what to do this year and was really stumped up until about 3 weeks ago. Chatting with my upline Liv I said her 'Tell me the first stamp set that comes into your head and I'll use that". What she did instead was went and got her catalogue, opened it up to a random page and told me the stamps on that page to use. After 3 attempts of that (to get a stamp set that I actually had and no I don't own them all!) we got to Stippled Blossoms.

I did forget that when Stippled Blossoms was chosen that it is a two-step stamp (need to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up) and that they all needed to be cut out by hand! Why do I do this to myself?????!!!!!!!!!! I did something similarly stupid last year, fussy cutting and water colouring.You would think I would have learnt!!!!!!! But no. I must be a sucker for punishment!

It really does look beautiful and well worth all that effort! Might need to book myself in for hand surgery though! All that fussy cutting has worn out my hands! No more fussy cutting on swaps!!!

Till my next swap!

Stampin' Up! Convention 2013 Swap No. 3

This is my third and last swap. I've made a small little 'pouch' that would make a cute party favour for either a birthday,baby shower, wedding.

I used two die cuts from the Two Tags Bigz Die, scored the end at 2.5cm folded them under and stuck them together to form the 'pouch'. Inside I placed a small amount of sweets in a bag, taped it up and then stuck the bag to the inside so that it wouldn't fall out.

Don't you just love the addition of the Delicate Details Lace Tape down the front too! Makes it look so pretty!

Till next week when I give you all the Convention highlights!

Have Fun and Happy Stampin'

Stampin' Up! Convention 2013 Swap No.1

We'll I'm off to the Stampin' Up! Convention and this is my first time attending. I'm very excited and a little nervous to as this will be the longest I have been away from my hubby and kids on my own.

At the convention event other demonstrators and their guests make 'swaps' to swap with other demos. They can either be a card front or a small 3-D item. Over the next 3 days (if the post I have scheduled post when they are supposed to) I'll show you the swaps I made.

I made 3 different designs of swaps, making 25 of each because I think it would drive me a bit batty to make 75 of the one swap. Don't they say variety is the spice of life.

I made a wine glass charm , to put at the base of your wine glass to tell its yours, using our Soda Pop Tops and the stamp set Collage Curios and some cute packaging as well. These are in our current Seasonal Catalogue which finishes 30th June. So get yours before they are gone.

Till tomorrow for my next swap!
