Convention talk.......

I wanted to share with you some more convention excitement

Convention is a fantastic opportunity to gain some inspiration and ideas for that ever growing stamp collection.

I gave a few sneaky peaks at the projects I had mad for my swaps

(Swaps: each demonstrator makes a bundle of samples and swaps them with other demonstrators in attendance.  This increases the samples you have for display purposes at classes/crops)

so now its time to share the actual swaps with you all

General Swaps

I only made 80 general swaps and wish I had made more

I used 

 2013-2015 In Colour cardstock and Inks

Bitty Butterfly Punch

Label Love Stamp Set

Artisan Label Punch

Envelope Punch Board

Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and Big Shot

Team and Roomie Swaps

I loved making these and made a bigger note pad for my Upline Carole - her notepad included a pocket on the inside of the cover that was big enough to hold a card or any notes/leaflets she may have collected.

I got the idea from Brandys Cards where she used the secret garden set to make notepad covers

I used:

Flower Shop Stamp Set

Pansy Punch

Chocolate chip Cardstock and Ink

Very Vanilla Cardstock

Crumb Cake Ink

Vintage Verses Stamp Set (Retired)

I really enjoyed making these and I hope the recipients liked them

Pop back on friday when I will share with you some of the gorgeous Christmas swaps I received at convention in my Festive Friday post

Product of the month

Hello again and happy Hump day :)

I hope you all had a fantastic bonfire Night last night :)

We stayed in last night but stood watching the fireworks across Wigan from my sons bedroom as the view from there is absolutely fabulous.

We had the joy of the fireworks while staying warm and dry :)

Its time for me to tell you all about my FABULOUS Product of the month

The Envelope punch board

(133774 £17.95)

This product is new to Stampin' up and only went on sale 1st november!!!

Create your own envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different colour and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use). 

It’s fabulously easy to use.

It looks intimidating at first glance, but  all you have to do is measure for the first punch and from there you just turn and score it couldn't be easier.

 It’s small and light enough that you could use it while watching a football/rugby match, at a park, at a friend’s for craft night—anywhere. 

It even has a clever scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes.

It’s easy to keep it all together, the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don’t have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won’t lose them!)

The price is terrific - It is only £2.50 more than a punch!!!!

It will be in next year’s annual catalogue, so it’s here to stay.

The instructions come in both metric and imperial - no add-ons needed.

It does so much more than make envelopes

I have seen:

Crackers

Wallets for vouchers or cash

Exploding boxes

Gift tags

Boxes

and much much more :)

Here is a video demonstration from Stampin' up to show you how easy it is :)

Over the next month I will be sharing with you some of the projects that have been made with this FABULOUS tool.

So what are you waiting for??
