Team Swaps

by | Apr 15, 2019 | Uncategorized

So, what a lovely weekend I’ve just had. Two nights in a lovely B&B just outside Telford, a fleeting visit to Ironbridge (never been before but must go back again!) and to top it off a day with almost 600 like minded Stampers at the Stampin’ Up convention at the International centre in Telford.

It was a great day involving networking with people from all over the country (and some from abroad), looking at the next catalogue (due out June 4th) and seeing demonstrations using of several of the new stamp sets that will feature. It was a fun packed day and it was great to be able to put faces and names to people I usually only see on social media sites!

The Tantalizing Stampers

I am part of Zoe Tant’s Tantalizing stampers team, and 10 of us who attended the On Stage event made cards to swap between us. It is a fab way of seeing someone else’s card ideas!

Thought you might like to look at some of the team swaps I received this weekend.

Over the next few days I will show you a few other bits and pieces I got at the event.

For now, Happy Stamping!

April 2019 Team swaps

The twice yearly Stampin Up! convention was on, on April 13th and as usual I took part in the Tantalizing Stampers group swap.

This is where we make a card for everyone participating, swap cards whilst there and bring home lots of cards with other peoples ideas! Great for those days when your mind goes blank!

So for my swap, I used the fabulous Flamingo Stampset and made a ‘pocket card, with a little message on. Hope everyone liked it!

And this was the what my swap looked like…….

In the next few days, I will show you the swaps I recieved….

Wouldn’t it be lovely to wake up every morning to the sound of the sea lapping against rocks right outside your window. I know I would be in my element, with the wildlife on offer and the peaceful sounds the sea evokes.

By The Bay Sale-a-bration set 2019

This lovely Stamp set is one of the ‘free’ items available until the end of March with a minimum spend of £45.

I used predominantly Gray Granite when making this card…..ink, card stock and ribbon (have I mentioned before how I love that all Stampin’Up products co ordinate so beautifully?)

I’ve also used the Stitched rectangle framelits from the Spring Summer catalogue to give some interest and angles around the subject.

I’ve listed below all the products used, but if you want to know more contact me (button at top of page) or follow this link to get to my shop
