you imagine how exciting 700 Stampin’ Up! demonstrators are, in one room?

WE received our convention badge, and award pins upon check into convention, along with a gorgeous silver and white back pack -

I was thrilled to be receiving awards for sale, recruiting and leadership this year, as well as the Incentive Trip to Salt Lake City.  Did you see also our cute INKcredibles Team pin we have this year?

And quickly, before we head off to the Awards Night, here are two of my swap cards I made for this year: (swaps are basically as they sound – we swap them with other demonstrators so that we can share ideas!)

(Embellished Events stamp set in Gumball Green & Primrose Petal)

I can’t wait to hear what you think and what you’ve been able to create with this!

The first card used the Bright Blossoms stamp set and co ordinating Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper – Such a bright card in Daffodil Delight:

The next card uses the Papillion Potpurri stamp set and Perfectly Penned set for the greeting.  Everyone who attends my Stamp A Stacks get to make 4 copies of each of these cards, so a variety of greeting stamps are always available so they can use the cards for a variety of occasions!

And finally the third card we made that night used the Clockworks stamp set.  It’s a great stamp set to make more “male themed” cards.  The Houndstooth Embossing folder makes a great background:

Make sure you come back for a visit tomorrow!  I’ve got some very exciting news to share with you all!  Hope you liked these cards for today!

With all the rain we’ve had in Brisbane over the past weeks I thought it was rather appropriate to finally stamp up a stamp I’ve had sitting int he cupboard for a little while.  It is a gorgeous stamp – one of the few single stamps that Stampin’ Up! sell.  Called Two By Two and it’s just $15.95!

I stamped and coloured this time onto regular Whisper White card as I didn’t realise I was all out of Watercolour paper,  But it worked out fine.

I used patterned paper from the 12×12 Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper.  And added a cute little Designer Builder Brad to the corner… see the little feet?

The other day I changed a card I’d made last Christmas into a Birthday card… I actually just realised I never posted the Christmas card, so here it is as well!

(Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple & Silver Glimmer Paper)

And as a birthday card:

(Pink Pirouette, Silver Glimmer Paper and Primrose Petal Core’dinations Card)

Such a versatile stamp set!  Would be great to scrapbook that last girls night out too!

Tina demonstrated the chalkboard technique for everyone and then we got to have a turn!

We also made a card using the new Dress Up Framelit Dies!  This wasn’t a product I thought I needed until I had a play and the dresses are so much fun to make.  We made a red and white polka dot dress onto a scallop oval card which was cut using the new Oval Collection dies:

And just for fun, here’s another card for you using the Dress Up Framelits along with one of our new paper Doilies…
