On Stage Local

Last weekend I got to spend some time with around 380 UK Stampin' Up demonstrators in Telford, near Birmingham. What a fun weekend we had! We got a great goodie bag and various free gifts including lots of new products. We got an advance copy of the brand new Stampin' Up catalogue which goes live on the 1st June.  It was great seeing all the new products and Stamp sets we will be getting and to watch demonstrations from fellow demonstrators both in the room and by a link to the U.S. It was really great.  It's lovely to see friends and to make new ones too, Stampin Up really know how to put a fantastic weekend together.

Another most enjoyable part of the weekend is when we swap samples with each other, this the one I made this year, I swapped over fifty of these cards and below is a photo of all the lovely ideas I got in return, fab, aren't they!

This last photo is of additional cards I made, this time in a different colour way, these were for my downline and other team members.  I also made little bracelets which I put in these linen bags. I'd stamped on them also to co-ordinate with the card. Yes you can stamp on fabric! They were well received and well worth the effort of making them.

I'll be back soon with my April Thank you cards and gifts,  before April is over!  I've been so busy I had forgotten I didn't share them with you. Please come back for those, I think you'll like them. 

Have a great day. 

Shades of purple

Good morning, following on from my last post I'm sharing this other card from the same class.  As I said, everyone got the wonderful stamp set Birthday Blooms.  But as you can see this one has a totally different look, a very versatile set this and I really love the font.  I don't normally 'do' purple as it's not really a colour I use but I like how this turned out and I know a friend who would love this card as she loves purple.

I'll be back soon with this months hostess club gifts and my thank you cards. Hope to see you for that.
                             

Shimmer and glitter

Good morning, sorry I haven't been around much recently but I was busy with Easter and then a wee trip to visit my daughter in London. However I am back today to share a sweet card and gift bag we made at a recent class.  I used the single rose image from the very versatile stamp set.  Everyone got the stamp set to make a selection of projects which I will share with you over the next week.  If you don't already own this stamp set you should check it out, it has beautiful rose images, sentiments and other little useful images.

We used the beautiful glitter washi Tape that I know a lot of you got free during Sale-a-Bration and my wish is that we get this in our new annual catalogue (coming very soon!) perhaps in different colours! Would love that!  We also used the fab Wink of Stella clear pen on the roses, hope the shimmer shows up in the photos.

I'll be back soon with more from the same class so please come back and visit to see those.  Have a great day.
