Convention 2014 Swaps

By the time you are reading this I will be in fabulous Brussels enjoying the first session of Stampin' Up!'s annual convention for European demonstrators.

When Stampin' Up! demonstrators get together they love to share ideas and so we make examples of cards and/or projects to swap with other demonstrators. So here are a couple of photos of my swaps - a card and a box. Thanks to my roomie, Clare, for helping me finish these in our hotel room last night!

The card is a stepped up version of a previous Fast Friday project. The box is just adorable and easy - the box is pre-made (you get 25 in a pack) and I just stamped snowflakes from Endless Wishes onto the box, put some chocolates inside (what else?!) and wrapped them up with some of my favourite Stampin' Up! ribbon - et voilà!

To make these projects you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Whisper White ♦ Stamps: Work of Art, Hey There Buds, A Dozen Thoughts, Endless Wishes ♦ Ink: Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Basic Black, Basic Grey, Craft White ♦ Tools/Accessories: Tiny Treat Boxes, Scalloped Edge Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Whisper White Organza ribbon

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

Why not come back soon when I will share some of my photos from my time in Brussels.

A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Fast Friday - Week 20

Last week I announced the launch of Stampin' Up's new Autumn/Winter Seasonal catalogue and whilst the main emphasis is on Christmas or Halloween I mentioned that many of the products are very versatile and can either be easily adapted or used year round. Here is one such project which is an adorable little box (comme c'est chouette!).

The longest (and most fiddly bit was putting the washi tape on the front panel)! The framelit set even comes with coordinating mini label dies. I used one of the greetings from the exclusive stamp set "Good Greetings" which features in the current hostess promotion.

To finish the project off I used some leftover items from previous projects that were on my desk - namely some punched flowers and a rhinestone which I had already coloured with one of the Blendabilities.

To make this project you will need:

Cardstock/Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White ♦ Stamps: Good Greetings ♦ Ink: Blackberry Bliss (marker) ♦ Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Curvy Keepsake Box Framelit, Colour Me Autumn Washi Tape, Petite Petals Punch, Itty Bitty Punches, Whisper White Organza Ribbon, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Rhinestone (coloured in with Rich Razzleberry Blendability (dark)

You can order from my online shop 24/7 or if you prefer contact me directly.

Why not come back tomorrow when I will have some more inspiration for you from the new Autumn/Winter seasonal catalogue as myself and a group of fellow SU demonstrators will be holding a blog hop to showcase more gorgeous products from the new seasonal catalogue.

A demain! Amitiés!
